Westone 2 True-Fit Earphone Review

For most listeners can use $ 100 or less, a great noise in the ear with a portable audio device. But the more sophisticated you are, the easier to obtain the portfolio requirements. Unless you expect, even among the most sensitive to the Audiophile, somewhere between $ 200 and $ 300 should do the trick. Autumn in the center of this area defines the true 2-Fit Headphones Weston, $ 250, to provide superior audio quality in a wide range of genres. Although not as brilliant as his brothers, step-ups, Westone 3s, their size and low price make it a worthwhile investment for most.

The conception of Westone 2 True-Fit Earphone are somewhat conventional, because the cable. Each wire is individually coated with black rubber and then the general form of braided cord. Westone settlement of the claim that comfort functionality and durability in both the spinal cord contributes. The cable, which measures 50 inches, ending with a gold-plated plug L and is a cursor to Y for the prevention of cables. Westone options include a line, the volume increases, the total length of 10 centimeters. There are also quarter-inch adapter, a cleaning tool and a box of crayons sweet face, which, with perhaps the largest selection of earplugs I've ever seen. There are three types of rubber stoppers and rigid tapering S, M, L, three dimensions of the flange soft silicone, three types of furniture foam in different lengths, and a triple.

 
With a variety of ear plugs, it is fairly easy to get a degree, comfortable and safe with headphones Westone 2. They are much smaller than the Westone 3, which is a big difference when it comes to packaging ago. However, the earphones on the large side, so that some users experience problems. The bulbous shape is designed to be placed in the external ear, with son through the top. The design is very ergonomic and the weight of the earpiece, the headset is very comfortable for extended wear. We do not have much sense of bent wire, the tip of one ear, but this is very personal.

 
If you are able to get a good set of 2 Jack Weston, you'll be rewarded with an excellent passive noise isolation. Even with music, ambient noise is significantly reduced, making these headphones the ideal choice for frequent travelers. And probably from the thin and sinuous design of the spinal cord, very little noise when the cable is brushed on the front of the body.

 
As its name suggests, Westone earphones 2s filled with two balanced armature drivers in each earpiece, similar to the Shure SE420. You can get a low frequency driver and one for heights, so that the headphones are not overly taxed. In other words, distortion, bass free and very fragile. 2 Westone offers excellent sound quality comparable to the Shure SE420, what that means. Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone" clean the tube by the pattern and downs, but no hat too much detail, "Breathe on Me Britney developed" Similarly, he demonstrates the ability of the ear to shine dance music .

 
We continued the test with a sample of various types. Dire Straits Brothers in Arms "was opened and disturbing, as it should, and Babyshambles F *** Forever," an excellent example of the details and changes can be produced. In all, 2 headphones Westone demonstrated its ability to meet a variety of musical tastes, making it an excellent choice for multipurpose phone. And although it may be a bit "weaker than the Westone 3S, their small size and lower price is a better recommendation on the whole line.

Also, like its American competitor, the SM2 is plagued by a dearth of accessories.

Philips SHE9620 headphones Review

Published at the same time, Philips SHE9550, SHE9620 headphones from Philips offers a slightly different sound. While the low SHE9550s are incredibly hard, these iems (In-ear monitors), focus more on a clear and neutral sound, and they do a good job. If you want a 'more accurate experience are a good choice, especially if you're on a budget. 

Bass is booming, much less in these headphones. A little 'sound hot, but the bass is not as slow and does not extend so deep. It 'been very detailed and well balanced with the other sectors.

The midrange is clear and detailed. We prefer a 'more separation between the different parts of the clay, but relaxed, the presentation is smooth, no doubt, for some users.

We found the high notes had a similar consistency: soft and smooth, but almost never bright or harsh. They were very rich and sweet, but slightly recessed compared to the mid-range.

The sound is what we expect from headphones in this price category: very addictive, but not spectacular. The presentation was designed for a wide variety of music, making this a great headset for everyday use.

How iems, slide into your ear canal, not only for the recovery of the ear. This has the effect of external noise isolation to a certain extent. Do not have as good of a job than other units we tested, but this is because they are relatively small. On the positive side, what makes them comfortable to wear for long listening sessions.

The other interesting thing about these headphones is the design. You are a little 'different than the standard black and color Gunmetal ears, which are usually in. His color is safety glass.

SoundMAGIC PL-30 Headphones Review

Sub-$ 100 headphones are often of poor quality, but the soundMAGIC against the trend with headphones soundMAGIC PL30 professionals "is a comfortable pair of canal phones, the excellent sound quality at a reasonable price.

MAGIC offers a series of audio with headphones, including the cable clip, cable wrap, zipper case, earphones and interchangeable tips. Seven young people are tips for optimal comfort for the various forms of ear, there are six pairs of single flange tips of different sizes, and a pair of bi-flange tips for better customer retention. The company did not supply foam tips, which have a better seal in your ears and, consequently, better soundproofing, but the choice is good buyer.

If these headphones are all over the world suffer because of their low price, both in its design. There are many attractive phones on the market channel - the couple is no exception, and its opaque white plastic is difficult to keep clean.

I am very discreet when worn, but difficult to manage as part of a series in each handset is a 'substantial.

The biggest surprise is the degree of comfort they offer. Find convenient channel cell can be a difficult task, but PL30S a surprising level of comfort. Conveniently be used, if for a long period of time.

As with any series of canal phones a reasonable number of passive noise cancellation. A larger amount of noise to hearing, compared with more expensive phones in the channel, in the last ears "Super.Fi 5vi anyway.

The user can choose between two different configurations below: clear, deep bass and bass. The mark requires some effort - nails must - and can not move, while the headphones are used. The considerable difference in sound. Those who prefer dance music or R & B, the adjustment of the low weight, though tend to drown the other frequencies.

Do not expect the same quality of sound is the first telephony channel, but these headphones are in competition with young people in the range of $ 100 +. Producing a sound that is surprisingly balanced, if a little 'light on bass. We have found the sound very clear and easily through a warm mid-range, and complements very well the classical music. Higher frequencies are, of course, not flashy, but easily exceeded the low midrange frequencies.

The low frequencies are relatively clear when the lack of a serious program for installation. This concerns in particular the lower frequencies on the bass-heavy music, like dance, but can also be an impact on the bottom in rock music. The low frequencies are not entirely lost, but certainly take a second and a half higher frequencies, which is unusual for the phone channel.

Although the MAGIC PL30 headphones in a sound level of professional quality, offering excellent sound at an affordable price.

Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5vi Headphones Review

Recently Logitech, Ultimate Ears has a long history of production in ear monitors (iems). It has become customary Super.Fi 5vi iems in the market, a viable solution for mobile phones like the iPhone. The Super.Fi 5vi in line with a microphone and call button to answer calls on the music.

Iems These are very elegant. Hook left (black) is a different color from the right side (red), and therefore the need to squint a little markers L and R. The exterior of the listener is Ultimate Ears as "liquid silver" - a brilliant, mirror-style plastic. With the original iPhone is luck - the 5vi Super.Fi 3.5 mm plug fits the recessed iPhone headphone unit and the cable is long enough to be convenient, but not so long to get out in a tangled mess.

This is the noise isolating headphones, Ultimate Ears includes a number of pieces of rubber in various sizes and shapes to give the best sealing and to ensure maximum comfort. Small, medium and large tips are wrapped in rubber, and there are two types of foam tips. The foam tips are the best for noise reduction, but not as aesthetics and comfort to his colleagues, as rubber. It also includes a cleaning tool and a small plastic box, but the headphones are not removable filter iems like many others on the market.

The headphones are very comfortable, if you want to fit. Note that these headphones feel deep in your ear canal and can be uncomfortable if they are not with them. Despite a long period of listening in the review, we have no complaints about comfort.

The sound quality is, as expected, excellent. Mid-range sound is a little 'too much and under is not as strong as the other iems we examined, but the sound is very detailed in general. As always with iems with a good seal, the best bass player. Altos are mild and the economy are relatively neutral. High Tone instruments are clear and sound days, even if they are not comparable with a good pair of headphones over the head, ideal for iems.

One calls when connected to a mobile phone, a microphone, call handling in line and a button to answer and reject calls. Interestingly, these are separated and the button call handling is a bit 'low on the cable for our ideas. When you receive a call, the music and the tone DiMS plays through the headphones. A simple press of the button call. The button can also be used for music playback - simply press the button once to play or pause the current track, twice to advance to the next track, and a triple click to go to the previous track. The call quality through the microphone is excellent and the call handling button is comfortable and easy to press.

Skullcandy Ti Headphones Review

Skullcandy not sound like a brand that is associated with high-quality audio, so that the performance of their Ti headphones I was a nasty surprise. Mientras que su diseño único e interesante aesthetical apela no a todo el mundo, la calidad del sonido es superior a la media, y muchos de ellos están satisfechos por la parte trasera, aireado excelente presentación y la claridad.

 
Skullcandy headphones are programmed into an extreme sport as snowboarders and skateboarders population and, therefore, the picture is not entirely conventional. Ti headphones is almost exclusively a white material with a thickness of iron with metal nails. The Ti-Security will help you a crowd. The headphones are very large and padded cups, with a closed design, with block external noise, and music for you. We won our fair share of strange appearance has played in public transport, and even if we were not skating skills to the challenge of the review, which in their environment, we imagine that there would be much less stupid. El diseño puede ser para algunas personas, pero tenga en cuenta que no es exactamente sutil.

In addition to aesthetics, sound quality is very nice. Although not to the level of most of the products from manufacturers like Sennheiser or Koss, TI is a clear and well balanced sound that is suitable for a wide range of music. Skullcandy was interesting to note that, from high costs of advertising as an essential feature of this unit, but we believe that this is an area that is not in our tests. It was not as weak as we heard in other units, but all cables background played a lot, and not the effects we are accustomed.

This is not a complaint, however, since it fits the back of the sound quite well. If, as this kind of tone that one might be a good option. We believe in the middle had a lot of excellent clarity and detail, but it was a little 'light. The treble was clearly demonstrated by a wide margin, and the difficulty of not being heard. The overall picture is very neutral with a slight tendency towards the light.

The sound was not removed, continue with the airy sound. Had the impression of being in a large room, away from the performers. The sound was not in a particular image because of the lack of impact in most of the recordings, but had a lot of clarity and certainly the difference between two headsets and headphones. Did you like the music a jazz or rock, where powerful, low blows is not the real problem.

We've found that to be very comfortable. The support is adjustable and the large amount of filler, but rather ridiculous that they are easy to carry. We heard Heating ears after long periods of use, but this is often a big problem with headphones and can be easily remedied with short breaks. Or, go snowboarding.

Skullcandy Skullcrusher Headphones Review

Skullcandy Skullcrusher headphones are a great promise to low, thanks to the level of vibrations of the subwoofer, with the hardware. This is something we are looking forward to seeing how we love resonant sounds, while our favorite music. However, we were disappointed. While this headset decent clarity, if the consequences are disabled when you click on the result for which there is in a very different experience, and is almost a good thing.

As with most of the Skullcandy headphones, which are aesthetically attractive Skullcrushers come with a good coating (with two colors to choose from) and the company logo adorned on each speaker. However, the headset is made of cheap plastic, with the craft of quality, such as the earphones that the price on the table. Despite the flashy graphics that adorn the hardware, it seems that the plastic is the same as some cheap knock-off that can find and worry that constantly break. It is not unreasonable to want more for the high cost of $ 70.

Despite our concerns, we realized that the building was strong enough to carry basis, while the ability to compress in a sports compact, easy to travel size. Travel in the spirit with a padlock to the center in order to pull down on the bag and on your way. If there is a tendency to spend too much time, his music on the move, these headphones fit very well. They are more comfortable and safe stay in place, eliminating any doubts that are struggling. While listening to music, we found that the sound is very crisp, with medium and high tones of the series quite well. Listening to songs like! "S" Heart of Hearts "or" go with the flow "by Queens of the stone, which were struck with the sound blaring from the speakers. While the previous title, the application was outside of us, without stamps, that have been used to. But, hey, this is what the amplifier is designed for power, right? With the push of a button, has become the bottom and they're willing to take all the wax directly hit our ears . I thought that place was an experience that we lose Lackluster.

The problem is not that the bottom is not strong or deep enough. In fact, with the possibility to adjust the amounts of these low frequencies, you hear a dial on the amplifier, which were full. The problem is that there is only noise. There were no differences between the tracks or style of music, and we belong to every kind of music that we think, from dub, rock, techno, pop and hip-hop remix with the bass sounds exactly the same for everyone. It was not so low as force feedback in the ears. It gives us the low recalls sub woofer car at low cost, and that is not what everyone wants now, right?

Instead of listening to the rich, booming sounds of Public Enemy "Bring the Noise" which was only a strong, floppy rumble in our ears. Instead of smooth grooves of Sublime "Doin 'Time", was recently lost a growl coming through the speakers. Radiohead of "Paranoid Android" looks like something useless hits. Modeselektor of "The Dark Side of the Sun" is a constant, annoying thunder. If you travel to another headset that we use as a reference (Sony MDR-V6) to compare, it was soon to include all the lace and silk, full of sounds that capture these tracks, which confirms our objections with headphones Skullcandy .

Although the comfort of these headphones at the same time and offer very attractive, the sound is questionable at best, only then the money is not the case. The sound textures are very well taught, the lower is ridiculously bad. Taking into account the fact that this phone comes with the low quality as a feature is a disappointment. Taking into account the quality of the other headphones in this price category, the Skullcrushers simply do not offer the sound we're after.

i Tech BlueBAND Sport Stylish Headphones Review

Design and Construction

The i.Tech BlueBAND has a sporty design with a flashy red and silver color theme. The headset is of the neckband type and goes behind your head, while the speakers rest on your ears.
The left speaker has the music playback keys, which include the Play/Pause key and also acts as the Power key. Then there are the FF/REW keys, the Call key and the volume control keys on the rim of the speaker. The Volume + key when pressed and held for some time activates or deactivates the SRS WOW HD feature.

 

The BlueBAND Sport is not adjustable in any way. You just turn the speakers around which are held by flexible rubberized plastic to make them sit on ears and that's about it. Due to the one-size-fits-all design, there is no guarantee that the headset will fit your ears perfectly.

Unfortunately, when I tried them on, they did not fit firmly on my ears.  What made it worse was that I could not move my head up or down without displacing the headset off my ears. Also, the neck band prevents you from lying down or resting your head. The headset can be quite uncomfortable to wear for long.
The build quality of the headset was fine and it seemed rugged enough to take a sufficient amount of abuse. The buttons also worked well and reacted with a clicking sound. The headset is also sweat resistant, which is a good thing, as it can be used while you work out in the gym.

Performance
Pairing the headset with a device is very simple. You first have to press and hold the Play/Pause key for eight seconds, after which the status LED starts flashing Red and Blue alternately. At that point you start searching for the headset through the device you want to pair the headset with. It can either be a mobile phone, a computer or a media player. As long as it supports the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you'll get stereo sound through the headset.
After searching and finding the headset, you click on it to start pairing by entering the pairing password, 8888, and you are done! Now, even if you turn off either the headset or the device, they'll automatically pair back when you turn them on again. I tried pairing it with a Nokia 5700 XpressMusic, an Asus P565, Samsung L700 and an Acer laptop, and it worked perfectly.

OK before we start with the sound quality, here is a little bit of gyaan regarding the working of stereo Bluetooth headsets. Stereo Bluetooth requires the presence of the A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) in both the devices. The device transmitting the data compresses and converts the audio data so that it can be streamed over Bluetooth.

The receiving device then decodes the data back and plays it through the speakers. Now, since the device usually compresses the audio data into a lossy format, the quality of the audio that you ultimately hear isn't 100% of the actual audio file. Add to the fact that most people use MP3 format, which itself is compressed, and you can understand why Bluetooth headsets are not popular among audiophiles. They still swear by the wired headphones regardless of the mess that the wires create.

AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) is another Bluetooth profile for wireless headsets, which enables you to control your music with buttons placed on the headset such as Play/Pause, FF/Rew, etc. wirelessly.
Now, coming back to the sound, the quality of the headset is pretty good. However, the bass was slightly on the lighter side for my taste. Initially, I thought it might be because the speakers weren't very securely placed on my ears but then even after manually pressing them on my ears the bass performance didn't improve substantially.

The high frequencies weren't perfectly clear as well, however, the mids were fine. The maximum volume of the headset was quite high and should be sufficient for most users. The headset also has the SRS WOW HD feature, which is activated by pressing and holding the Volume + key. On activating it, it makes the sound louder and adds a bit more clarity with 3D surround effects. Unfortunately, there was also some distortion that I could hear after activating it and the 3D effect didn't really appeal to me. Overall, considering the limitations of A2DP, the sound quality was good but not exceptional.

When used for calls from a mobile phone, the voice of the caller could be heard clearly. The microphone, despite being placed on the side, picked up my voice very well. However, when outdoors, I had to speak loudly to make myself heard.

Battery Life
The BlueBAND Sport has a 340 mAh Li-Pol battery. The rated music playback time was up to eight hours, while the talktime was also about eight hours. The headset has a standby time of 200 hours. It managed to achieve the manufacturer's reported time, which is a good thing, as eight hours is a perfectly acceptable amount of time for a Bluetooth headset.

Verdict
The i.Tech BlueBAND Sport is a great-looking headset with a good battery life. The controls on the side are large and easy to use, and the pairing process is swift. The sound quality is decent but not great.

The bundles storage case is great for carrying it around in your bag without damaging the headset. Priced at Rs. 4,799 MRP

Creative EP-830 Headphones Review

Design and Construction
The DP-830 are a pair of headphones. The speakers have a hammer-like, with chrome accents on the sides. Grill is wire mesh on the back of the speaker grille. The speaker is a bit long, which makes it easier for you, or your ears.

 
The DP-830 comes with three pairs of silicone ear in different sizes. The use of neodymium-magnet speaker 9 mm. With a frequency response from 6 Hz to 23,000 Hz Impedance 16 ohms of skill and sensitivity at 1 kHz 106 dB / mW. The cable has the traditional model and consists of 1.2 meters (4 feet) of oxygen-free copper. Speakers 9gm but without the packaging. The design of the PE-830 is compared with the fasted EP430 or 630th In addition, no off-color black standard. Not bad, telephones, but can not appeal to everyone. Who knows something to pair with your iPod will be disappointed. The construction is decent, but not very strong. In addition, the speaker cables seem to be thin and could feel snap.

People who used to get the speaker cable to your MP3 player to connect into the outlet and still be sure that the connector pins in the EP-830 is not in the bag in the form of L Travel is always good Headphones for the enforcement, undamaged and has a smooth matte feel. However, the bag does not remain closed for a long time and tends to open after all.

Performance
After choosing the right headphones, I put the EP-830 to a Cowon U5, with music from various genres. I was impressed by the quality of sound from the speakers. In comparison with the EP-430 and EP-630, a stronger and more focused bass and treble, the DP-830 has a sound that is as close as possible "without the original sound, too. If you use the headphones the Walkman mobile phone from Sony Ericsson (HPM-70) in the image, the EP-830 is the top, where the media are much more sharp and clear and the bass is tighter and cleaner comparison. As with the Apple headphones, which iPod, do not even have the opportunity and the DP-830 only blows out of the water (which is exactly why we should leave as soon as an iPod purchase).

The low is strong and forcefully, without boomy. The media are also very sharp and clear and the music sounds fresh and clean with this pair. Heights tend to be a little strong and shot, as the voices of the singers, for example, appear to be a clear advantage for themselves and sound a bit fragile at the moment.
Of course with CDs or audio files with high speed, but with 128 kbps audio files is not a major problem. The phone can also be very hard, without cracks or distortion.

The headphones are very efficient, so it is ideal for Paring with mobile phones, a low-power amplifier. Silicone ear are very comfortable on the ears and decent Soundproofing - always has the right headphones.

Verdict
Creative EP-830 has proven to be a great headset. You're good, are comfortable to use and offers decent passive noise isolation. They also come with a handy pocket to work with you. Even if the price of Rs 1999 M.R.P. with one year warranty you can for about 1300 Rs At that price, the headphones are a good price-performance ratio.

UMAX Thunder Headset Review

Design and Construction
UMAX Thunder has a control over the growth of the head with a microphone on the left speaker. The speakers have a supra-aural design, at the tip of the ears, not around them, as in the circumstances of the sound design. The speakers are adjustable for a better way and also have a soft foam padding on the head for comfort. The microphone is adjustable.

 
However, the quality of the construction of the headphones is pretty cheap. There are many corners, and not all are very robust.

Performance
To test the sound quality of the helmets, I have connected to a computer. La première est j'ai Remarque elected that they oreillette Kit requis beaucoup d'énergie pour être conduit successful, you kind of bloc-notes in my band to near max. As for the sound quality is much better than what we expected that only this set of headphones. Of course, I could a lot of mistakes, as would have been more serious or powerful that it would have been a little clearer in the midrange and treble, but in general, to hear the occasional noise is not bad all.The Thunder UMAX is a helmet after all, and primarily for phone calls and communication via the Internet, the entire game, which is pretty good. You can make a decent conversation over Skype while enjoying the quality of voice. The microphone also good and its omni-directional, which can easily be adjusted.
The headset is also very comfortable to wear. Padding cushions soft enough for the ears and can be used for a long time without complaints.

Verdict
UMAX Thunder The headset is available at a price of 350 rupees. At this price, the handset offers decent performance, making it a good price-performance ratio. For occasional use, I do not think we can demand that more than anything else.

Altec Lansing UHP336 Headphonews Review

Design and Construction
The Altec Lansing UHP336 is very discreet, all-gray design. The cable is four meters long and has a gold connector directly to the end and ends in a Y-type to another. The cable is detachable speakers, at the end, so that the cable is damaged, it can be changed without the new headphones.

 
The speakers in each ear design, the decline in the use of headphones. The cable then goes from the speakers on the ears and then you can use the cable behind it, the T-shirt. This is usually the case with headphones, because this type of headphone cables are not in shape and are also much more discreet, if you work with them on stage. Altec Lansing speakers and have the company logo on the outside. You can choose from five tips ear. Of these, four are made of silicone and foam. Including a pair of silicon has two sides, also for a better insulation. You can also use a cleaning tool to clean the ears Gunk could be included in the speakers. A small case completes the package.

The construction of the quality of the speakers is very good. Do you have a good mat with a sub-class look. The cable is too thick and too rigid. Even after a week with the original packaging is still on cable, while the curves, recorded the new package and learned that there has ever been packed into the case. With this cable you can not pack properly into your ears and bent at a right angle from an awkward angle.

Performance
The UHP336 be a pair of quality headphones for professional musicians, and so I found more than a week of use, are in all respects for the job.
The sound quality of headphones is incredibly precise. The midrange and treble, especially, are so amazingly clear and detailed. You know the difference after listening to a couple of standard headphones, and then with the UHP336. It feels as if a layer of fog to lift you and your music. Start the details of your music, did not know existed.

The bass was a revelation. In contrast to the typical reaction cavernous low-end headphones UHP336 was low and accurate. Bass beat you with the precision and accuracy of the Sniper Rifle! It feels quite different, because it really does not feel the bass, but just listen. It also does not dominate the other is often shot them all with the same amplitude and are in perfect harmony with each other. It is impossible to describe perfectly the tone and listen, to understand the level of clarity.

There are a hit. Running for the professional audio equipment, the UHP336 just need a little reinforcement properly fed. Otherwise, the low power dissipation, and is flat. You can not with a pair of portable music player or even a laptop, since they are not sufficiently powerful amplifier. The only way to make a good sound on the move is to use a headphone amplifier. For home users, you need a PC with a good sound card or a music system to get the most out of this pair.
Note that for power, I am not saying that PMPO maximum volume or the amplifier output, but RMS. These headphones are very efficient and can even easily from a mobile phone band for sale. However, the sound quality in this case has nothing to write home about.

The headphones are very comfortable to wear. But many people, that they were uncomfortable, as the headphones to the ears and could not be adaptations. But I could for a few hours without any fatigue. However, it is advisable to take a break from time to time, as opposed to the use of standard headphones, earphones in more emphasis on the eardrums.

With regard to the isolation that UHP336 again very good. It is important for the musicians on stage to hear the sound of the headphones in the crowd cheers, and I am sure will be an excellent job UHP336. For users this means a greater focus on his music and less on around you.

The verdict UHP336 Altec Lansing is an exceptional talent, the headphones. You have amazing sound clarity and precision with which the sound is you spell bound. At a price of Rs 5990, one year warranty UHP336 is easy on the page that some of the shortcomings, such as design, it is not convenient, and the stiffness of the cable seems a little worse

And that's not all. Those who intend to use these devices to be disappointed about the sound quality. So, wait for their fans at low speeds eardrums pummelled deep bass will be disappointed. However, for audio purists and professionals who demand the best, have a good source of power between them, are comfortable with the design a bit cumbersome, and are willing to pay premium light, the Altec Lansing UHP336 is a good buy.

Creative EP-630 headphones Review

 

Design

Creative EP-630 headphones are in-ear noise isolation - not only from their ears, they grow and in the ear. There are two main advantages of this design, the first is not easy to reach the ears, especially in activities like running, unlike the standard ear-bud headphones. But most importantly, with the headphones pushed deep into the ears, cut off a lot of background noise (techy term for sound insulation). For example, if you traveled on the corner of tuna canned in Mumbai, with headphones, you know, you can hardly hear your music on the sound of the train. You do not have the problem with the EP-630, regardless of how things can be difficult to train, you can clearly hear the music, and you will not crank the volume on the initial experience. You can also pure music in noisy places like markets, etc.

When it comes to design, Creative EP-630 is a cut above the Bose In-Ear. The headphones are very small, with a rounded surface to them. The black and silver detail, making them ideal for use with the PSP or MP3 player in black color.

Cables
In general, the headphones are equipped with a cable a little short, he fell because of the constant tension. For the PE-630, Creative has not been limited in this department, with a long tail of 1.25 meters of cable with their product. This period is long enough, not to the headphone with the movements of the body, while it is short enough to avoid the road while you are away.

 
It has three types of rubber stoppers with headphones, so you should be able to create a package that is perfect for the comfort of the ear-wise. I found a way to perfect for me, with whom I was able to use PE-630 for several hours without pain in my ears. Although the envelope in this way a little help, because you feel a kind of pressure at first, as it under water, but if they never see again.

 
Sound
The sound quality of headphones is excellent. In comparison, Bose offers a clear, cut most of the background noise, while the DP-630, a broader measure of cover. This is done using magnetic 9 mm Neodymium transducers enclosed. After listening to the bass on the EP-630, which was great, even the Bose headphones was quite common. Since I started with Creative EP-630 headphones, I found that my iRiver has a much smaller quantity, to give me a clear and background noise is almost non-existent. The music feels like it directly into my brain! Even when used with Sony PSP headphones, are the results of the first class. But along with iRiver, this is a game in the sky - I have a great sound quality, everything is light enough to easily. The problem with the Bose headphones is that you have your case with you, this is quite worrying.

Verdict
As mentioned above, Creative EP-630 are much less expensive than the Bose (approx. Rs.5600). In an MRP of Rs 1280 with a 1-year warranty, PE-630 is the value of money. The market price is assumed that the two as low Rs 850th If you get a good update of the helmet with the MP3 player is an excellent choice.

Grado RS2 Headphones review

Grado remains a specialist dedicated to headphones, cartridges and a small range of accessories, including a helmet is not designed Natty amplifier.

Grado RS2 is typical of the variety in research between the back and understated - at least not accuse us first grade go on top of that. However, solid mahogany shelter is not only practical, but beautiful.

Our main concern is the design and facade with foam earcups, which are very hard and rough, and sit on the ears instead of around it. The resulting pressure is not always easy and certainly intend to recommend a buyer to spend at least 15 minutes, wearing a helmet.

Construction of high-end
This model shares many features with the following model, the SR-1, including the "Ultra-high purity long crystal in the copper coils, both the voice and initiative. As in most high-end headphones, these days, the magnet is in any kind of rare earths.

Grado makes the most of the process used to relieve the tension of the diaphragm before each controller is integrated into a finished helmet and says this reduces the rupture of the diaphragm and the resonance and hence the distortion.

At the bottom of the design, RS2 eliminates a lot of noise, but at least do not feel very intrusive to the head. Lead is very flexible and mounted almost free of friction noise.

Associated Music Experience
Il s'agit certainement d'un casque d'écoute de la musique. The first impression is strong, realistic and musical instruments with great body and presence. The sound is not entirely devoid of dyes, but any deviation from neutrality is not intrusive.
What to expect from Grado models, the detail is very good, at least most of the time. Only occasionally we had something like a thickening of the sound, an effect that appears to occur when the upper midrange is particularly busy.
Otherwise, if there is a high degree of understanding complex musical textures. In particular, appreciate the voice through the headphones, all well characterized and (if we have heard the original) quite natural and recognizable.

Minor staining
It is interesting to note that the lighter color of the hull tends to make the sounds seem to come from someone close to the listener that we are accustomed to - a bit of a lift at the top of the high and high-high, not very often fall rapidly with distance.

Why should it be more sensitive than other headsets, we can only imagine, because it is very characteristic. Sometimes we think we have detected a slight upward wealth, but if it is smaller and, frankly, very enjoyable.

Rough diamonds
And 'certainly a headset hands when it comes to different musical styles. Classical symphonies and string quartets are treated equally and well adapted to the tastes of the general public.

In fact, the sound is not too civil: it is only a trace of bitterness, which in any case, instead of offsetting the trend could have headphones for the sound too "perfect." In short, this is a transducer well rounded with great interest in many areas.

The price is high on the side, but we believe that this can be justified, not even the basic look and feel. HFC

Technics RP-DJ1200 Professional Headphones Review

Advantages: Very reliable, very friendly and the DJs kick-ass bass sound

Cons: a little heavy on the ears and in the struggle of high and medium

Well ... This is my first DJ headphones and I must confess that it was a good start!

They generally have a great sound quality, too (and I mean very!) With a little 'low, but the dish and medicines. This means that much had fought for the synchronization, but can be fought with some of the melodic material ... and please, please do not try to classical music!

The sound is simply incredible, the only sound you hear in the music will be heard, unless you're in a nuclear bomb test and it is here to stay.

Although in general, the headphones are comfortable and actually practice this in turn is 90 degrees cuts very easily (but you can also solve the problem of not passing!), But for very small ear cups fairly quickly, making them unsuitable for long without listening to the music collection. In any case, insert a DJ and out, very often, you can not call a failure. I like the head of which is long and right which makes it less onerous and less akward of the spiral.

They have a solid construction technique, although some details might seem rather fragile, but I had no problems with one of them, despite the massive use. La seule question qui s'est Porté pad was a half an atmosphere, which most likely due to a summer intensive use of transport and neglect.

Subject: Very good DJ for heavy use, but not to appreciate the nuances of music at home.

Turtle Beach Ear Force P21 Gaming Headphones Review

Any player that takes place at night, knows how important it is to have a solid set of headphones. We have examined the solutions in the past for the Xbox 360 Turtle Beach X4s and all-in-a Tritton AX Pro If your PlayStation 3 is the console of choice, May you want to check the ear P21. Even if we do not offer true 5.1 surround sound are very comfortable and offers many customization options to meet their gaming needs.

The P21s are black plastic. La banda connects the adjustable padded earcups, which are covered in a glossy black shell. Each cup is filled with a mesh fabric that we found comfortable on long series of games for PlayStation 3.

When stationary, the handset feels a little expensive, especially when the earcups attached to the head. There is a certain characteristic pits them - which is not the headset over the overall performance, most of us later.

the left earcup out the boom mic. It is quite long and fully adjustable, you should not harm perfectly. The tip of the microphone has two areas of hearing, his voice for one and one for the noise that the headset is off. We enjoyed the fact that the arm can rotate through 360 degrees of sight when not in use.

A few meters from the connection of children is on the line of control that can be clipped to your clothing, if desired. In the box you will find various switches and buttons that allow you to mute the microphone, monitor chat, games and low volume, as well as enable mode Expander (which seeks to make more noise). However, we have had time to play our best away.

Setting the P21 headset is very easy thanks to its ability to bypass the RCA analog audio connections. Doors can join right hook to his son a PlayStation 3 on your TV or receiver, avoiding the need to change the child, if you want to use the headset. The length of cable is also very generous, offering up to 16 feet to work with him. A USB extender allows you to connect your headset to your PS3 to chat.

While we welcome the support of stereo analog audio, we were a little disappointed to see that you can not use a digital optical audio connection with the P21. It also means that the headset is capable of producing surround sound, as we have seen in other products 5.1 Turtle Beach.

During our tests, we were impressed by the performance of the P21. We used the boom microphone to a pair of hands playing SOCOM: Confrontation that has produced concrete results. Our team was clearly heard and we were able to adjust the fit speak for our preference.

The sound quality is good, even with a stereo, we were able to say whether the blows were coming. However, the P21 is not a good job with sound insulation. If you use the headset, next to someone who will probably be able to hear what is happening around the earcups.

The P21 can also use a PC (or Mac) Gaming Headset. You can use the USB cable as a virtual sound card 1/8-inch-to-stereo-RCA or buy an adapter to connect to your main soundcard. In any case, the headset is good, adding to the total value of the product.

We liked the old P21 performance, we only support 5.1 surround sound. Price about $ 80 in May to find another town, if you need more than the PlayStation 3 game sessions. The company produces 5.1 surround sound headphones - X4 - twice the price, but can be used with a wide range of home theater. However, it does not work with PS3 chat in the game, only sound.

The other alternative is the Tritton AX Pro 5.1 for about $ 150, which can lead to confusion in May to implement, but offers near-universal compatibility.

AKG K 701 Headphones Review

Oh Mother, I am always excited when I heard rumors about the existence of AKG K 701 headphones! If you are one of those audiophile smile, to those of us who, like the headphones, you're probably rolling eyes and think that the lack of a rich inner life.

However, to the conclusion that the Skippy-some of us with these prosumer doses in our studies, in recording sessions, and the inclusion in the barn at night critical listening sessions in which the use of auxiliary Jaded beggar their high sensitivity. These are not three deer, upchuck phones flogs your friendly flight first flight characteristic. We are talking about a series of tools that are on a flea fart in a cathedral.

Well, some of us. Me, I'm a geek, headphones, so that the message that the AKG was the introduction of a dynamic flagship headphones, I had aquiver with anticipation. Because the last major attack on the state of the art headsets of 1000 K, the so-called AKG "earspeaker," especially since the speakers are similar in many ways prior to this Saturday against the ear Pinna and the bar in the music, but the pump more or less directly into the ear, like most mobile phones. Even animals to ride. John Marks is a big fan, and John has great taste in art, but I admired more than 1000 K, I loved it, especially because I am incredibly fiddly. I was convinced that I never earspeakers same angle, so it was always on the lookout for a better balance. As Bob Reina once felt about electrostatic speaker system of a large island, where you desperately need something to do, but for regular listening, not so much. In addition, the 1000 K close to great expense in AKG is his time last year.

He was the K 701s would be about $ 400, $, the 450-and often discounted. And by the time Head-Fi had its New York Regional Meeting in November 2005, the word around the Internet, the K 701s would be barely sufficient. AKG distributor in the United States has two couples to take a margin of Tyll Hertsens and a "hard-core headphones. Neither the couple for more than a few hours of music playback, during playback, and fascinating, with a hardness that I am not prepared to trade in my reference Sennheiser HD-650S. But they are very comfortable, and their frames, wire, leather belt, and white, porcelain-like search engine and a retro-looking accommodation Futuristic fashion statement . They were too quiet, not a hint of noise or sums.

Two days later I received an email from Hertsens: "I have more than 100 hours of music playback in the 701s and I have a new reference. You have not heard half of what they could do." It is better to believe that I have been waiting five months for a review sample seemed a long time. Why so long? AKG a blow on the hands. They were not fast enough to meet demand.

Occasionally refuses to even listen
If you do not focus on high-end headphones, $ 450 sounds like a lot of pasta, and it is. You can say what are those things of gold? There is nothing in the K 701s is anything unusual, unless you count the rare type of technology that sweats all the small details.

Take the cable, for example. AKG-German-English translation engine called "true bi-wiring" in some publications and "balanced" in others. What do we mean that the 701s separate assembly for each engine rather than a common basis (although the ¼ "jack is not a common basis, of course). This is probably one of the reasons why, as they were beaten by the 701s in peace for the first time heard, and every time thereafter.

AKG is 99.99% pure OFC which are not "six nines" (99.9999% pure) copper, but it is not the best use of headphones, good. The use of voice coil of wire aircraft, which is relatively common in high-quality speakers and microphones, but is still below the common doses. Flat wire coils better concentrate the magnetic field in the coil in the vote to gain control of the upper membrane traffic.

The 701s also the AKG Varimotion converter. Contour of the iris is often in the middle of the periphery. The Center serves as a rigid tweeter, while the more flexible limits lower frequencies. AKG Runnels rigid court in order to optimize the mechanical impedance of the membrane, or AKG, says "the diaphragm has been optimized to prevent unwanted vibration modes." The point is that the center of the membrane pistonically as possible and then keep the coil centered in the magnetic field. The AKG says, "whereby the harmonic distortion, extended bass and greater volume."

As already mentioned, the 701s are very comfortable. His huge, ear-enveloping foam pads, with a kind of velvet, on Saturday in my head for hours without seeming warm or tight. AKG used to say, "3-D foam, which calls for foams of different densities. They also claim the way bearings allows the driver to look at the ears "in the right angle." You can not prove they were, but the results are hard to argue with Sonic. The hammock style leather sling in the spring wire connection on rails cradle the listener's head also contributes to the luxury good. The way that the section head and ears spoiled 701s.

Since the K 701 is not available for the iPod generation, but AKG market study, mobile phones ended with a ¼ "jack. However, a significant proportion of the metals from ¼" to 1 / 8 "converter, if you include the use of EM with a source that only a mini-jack (my margin Micro headphone amplifier, for example). AKG includes a docking cradle "essentially a podium with a cut-foam, the above-Perca 701s recording console or desktop. At first I thought that this is the dumb Gimme I've ever seen, but I ended with a lot. Actually, a place for something that probably makes it I'm back in the chaos that is my office. Oh, I'm kidding, that in the chaos that is my life.

There must be someone who hears my story?
Despite the brilliant whiteness of his ears, K 701 is not a connection with the ubiquitous iPod. Because it is a ¼ "connector problem, of course, and the headphones are big, even if it is light, and are not really easy to build on Noggin running or cycling while. Even if you're in seated position with his spacious back seat aircraft, the loss of your shoulders open societies make poor.

So, if you use the C-701s? Controlling the recording sessions, of course, as anywhere you need high quality tools for listening, which means that in my house the whole world, I have a headphone amplifier: office, living room and laundry (weird, I know, but my wife is finding subtle ways to do things for me).

Why use a headphone amplifier? Well, the K 701s are not very difficult to handle, but the power of the average flea laptop (or even the ¼ "connector in most separates) tends to emphasize that initial edginess that I am in my first experience with the 701s much in the way we listen to a pair of speakers near a power amplifier accentuated deficiencies. The 701s are not only in this sense, the most ambitious designs of great use headphones, a well-designed headphone amplifier. Fortunately, I had a lot of these amps in the house with several generations of reach, Iceland Channel Audio VHP-1, and Ray Samuels Audio SR-71 Hornet. They left the K 701s' tonal balance and authority to flowers.

Say the word I
When I first got involved with the AKG K 701s, I have just to confirm my first impression of an aggressive self-confidence I do not cotton. By Tyll Hertsens Declaration, which are carried out, I have an unused room, connected to a Channel Islands Audio VHP-1 and Musical Fidelity X-RayV3 CD set to repeat. I do not listen to a few hundred hours, so no, I was crushed.

About a week later, I noticed in the AKG K-701s and that edginess was gone, replaced by the natural balance of sound with a high gloss and a strong final ridiculously bad. What are the causes of this change? Some people speculate that the diaphragm is more flexible, with the game, or a mechanism in the engine in. I do not claim to know what happened, only a few one hundred hours playing vigorously converted K 701s.

Audio-Technica AD700 Headphones Review

Many people underestimate the differences between open and closed headphones, the combination of the two models in a series as a sound similar. Audio-Technica has an open or closed variant of each model (the A900 and AD900), and they have a trademark sound throughout the range, often other elements do not seem more different.

Take, for example, the AD700. Many people simply look at the model and slot somewhere between the A500 and the A900 in terms of sound quality - big mistake! The AD700 is much lighter sound that really gives you a completely different sound signature.

We would like to describe as the classic AD700 headphones in this price class, but also wonderful for jazz, acoustic guitar and piano pieces. This is an open model, meaning that small, tends to be the most prosperous and powerful (in a closed model, there is no place for ECHO) to heavy metal and dance floors, fans will most likely lose strength. That is, the bass is incredibly fast and strong for this model - a case of quality over quantity - so it really depends on how you like the music sounds.

The top half and high tones are the real strengths of this model. The AD700 is one of the finest detail and the separation without spending hundreds of dollars more. Acts of the flow from one to another with a nice layer effect brings the sound of a great power (for example, orchestra). Some authors are too bright for their taste, but loved the sound.

The midrange is rich and a little hot with a nice, soft texture. Our acoustic guitar rock songs such as Patience by Guns and Roses sounded simply incredible.

The other real strength of this model is sound. To put it simply, we have not heard what as immersive as the AD700. The power and the position of the various instruments of the mind is incredible, better than almost anything we have seen in this price class (including the A900). Sound is a prerequisite for a proper listening experience. If you close your eyes and see the sound in a particular place is a long way towards the creation of the tingling spine, when we strive to listen to your favorite songs. The massive sound is also perfect for the position of audio. We found that in terms of strengthening the capitalization is not much better for games, AD700s.

The Audio-Technica AD700 Sport Classic design that has so well with this series. Large arteries and upholstered with velvet, with two wings, the filling in the rest of the top of the head. Which covers an area of two strips of plastic, quite fragile, but I'm strongly. All Audio-Technica headphones are very comfortable, and this model is no exception. How to open headphones, the cups of the AD700 only against the rest of the ear, instead, making it easier to hear, even during meetings of up to six hours. They are quite large, the streets around them wins rare look confused.

Planning for the inevitable problem of leakage of sound. The AD700s not isolate, but it is predictable. If you plan to use them in an office to invest in some earplugs for the people in your environment.

Shure SE102 Headphones review

Finally Shure headphones for the budget goes to "aspiring music - people like you and me who are fed poor quality cans, which together with most MP3 players. This is particularly true for all generations of iPod, Apple, despite claims in the contrary. These white earphones? Yech!

The SE102s then do whatever Shure earphones. What it is, until the end of the lamp, the unit Micro speaker units and a range of Sound Isolating sleeves with the aim of reducing 90 percent of ambient noise.

If SE102s comes with four pairs of soft flexible sleeves, in small, medium and large for different sizes of ears.

Like all the other Shure earphones, the SE102s are designed so that in fact there is a headset cable into the top of the ear and on his MP3 player or the included 1m extension cable.

It takes a while, "accustomed to - and can be a pain if you wear glasses - but the result is an ambience that allows you to download your ears sounds really expect from the cans.

Just as the sound?
One of the benefits of Shure obvious method of cutting the environment is that it is not necessary to their music as loud as with conventional earphones or cans. This should help to limit the problems caused by excessive noise (such as the EU Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks warned this week), but also means that their attention is on the performance of SE102.

To be honest, the SE102s are not so bad. Fire some high bitrate AAC tracks from your iPod to do a job SE102s and credible transmission of sound - voice is clear and understandable, guitar tone, the drums sound, the plates must be "king".

Compared to a more expensive pair of Shure SE310s however, showed that some shortcomings. The SE102s simply do not sound richer and more detailed SE310s (which costs more than three times the price of 180 pounds).
You also have to crank the volume a notch to get the same volume SE102s face SE310 - something that is probably due to the fact that the absence of a tuned bass port SE102.

The results arevery listeners with virtually all types of music - even if the SE102 is slightly rough edge could be guaranteed not to hear. Bass heads happy by SE102s ability to reach a weight of up to 22Hz.

 
The other obvious Downer, the local unit. E 'significantly more bulky than other models of Shure SE series, what it might be difficult for long periods.

Given the undisputed quality and high prices, we are pleased Shure SE102s qualified thumbs up

Atomic Floyd headphones Review

It is no secret that the label of the white headphones with most MP3 players are almost always surprising, terrible. It is worth about 10p and the highest quality of sound, music as an absolute ass.

Fortunately, there are many manufacturers, the high-quality headphones or earphones you can buy cheap replacement for free plasticky.

problem is that if the update can be very expensive for a pair of quality headphones. And if you want more than a hundred pounds, you should make sure you get your money.

Atomic Floyd Show - a new company, based on the best headset on the products at affordable prices.

Impressive quality of construction
The first thing you have HiDefDrum headphones is that the build quality is absolutely amazing. They are made of a heat treatment of steel, titanium, and contain 24 Carot Gold audio connectors. They feel as if I could get them into a tank and had been out of the ground without a scratch.

As a result, small earphones are reassuringly heavy. But that sound as good as they look and feel? The answer is a clear, booming, full of yes.

The secret of a good quality, claims Atomic Floyd, provides in its material. A heat treatment of steel is to harden conventional density, which remains constant as the resonance of sound. The "true tone" sound in the ear chamber was equipped with a material that is called "Acoustic Steel.

E 'primarily steel injection was treated for 10 hours at 1300 ° C. This gives more strength to the metal, the thin walls, which in turn optimizes the volume of the room acoustics to create a great sound.

It may seem like a load of Mumbo-jumbo, but despite the silly name, the headphones sound HiDefDrum Acoustic Steel really absolutely fantastic.

Good audio performance
Extremely high tones sound fresh, while the smooth, chocolatey small ears with rich creams and accurate mid-and low-end.

The functions do not end here, o. These headphones are for use with the Apple iPhone and MP3 player, iPod, Skype and Blackberry RIM products.

A button on the cable works like a remote control to pause and play the music (this works only with certain products), and if you receive a call, you can use the microphone area, the claim without the headphones.

As we have already discussed, the price of these products can be a little "from a point of encounter. Shure earphone line, for example, prices range from around 50 pounds all the way up to 300 pounds.

The dilemma is that the cheaper products, while the sound is much more than the package still far from crappy headphones as good as the high-end. And therefore it is necessary to strike a balance between quality and price.

 
The Atomic HiDefDrum Floyd headphones - and the rest of this Atomico Floyd - the balance.

You can test together for 85 pounds - and the remarkable value of a product that offers exceptional quality and great sound and iPhone compatibility.

Audio-Technica ATH-CK10 Headphones Review

Audio-Technica has a long history with the headphones, and now offers a wide range of styles more. Among the in-ear models, the ATH-CK10 is the top dog.

Technical seems surprisingly modest - for example, a brochure called the frequency response up to 15kHz and exceptionally low power consumption, I think that it is not sufficient to meet again, or just mistakes.

The sensor uses Dual balanced armature drivers, 'Division of the frequency range of almost (but not exclusively) on two streets in a small house in front of all three sizes of rubber speaker. Impedance is higher than most in-ear phones, with less effort on the unit, but each with some 'sensitivity to the effective reduction of most applications.

Unfussy Headphones
We were pleased to learn that this model seems relatively unfussy headphones, but a few miles to redeem. After the optimum, were rewarded with a big, rich sound seems to be something less, are less acute that many bright headphones.

At first, you can set the tone does not seem to be in the details, but it really is true: This model is capable of a great amount of detail in the full frequency range. It is a good offense and the immediacy and the image is clear and not too "in the head."

We were particularly impressed by the dynamism, the great effort and at the same time, thin area offers live music always, but often the new recordings.
Listen for a longer period, is our admiration for this model only increases: E 'is probably not so easy, but worth persevering with.
