JVC HA-F240 Gumy Air Earphones Review

JVC HA-F240 YN Gumy Air Headphone We've already said and I repeat, the stock headphones that came with your MP3 player does not identify the potential of the device. (Unless, of course, you have one of these players.) No matter how many times it is said, we still see countless individuals rocking white iPod headphones. Maybe others know they own an iPod, or perhaps not even the thought of spending more than a device that has been removed from maintaining a healthy piece of change. In the latter case, there are options such as the JVC Gumy Air earphones, a quantity of detail only 15 €. But although these phones offer a touch of style and good clear sound for those who get a good fit, may, I am not sure one size fits all ". In other words, can it be an update for everyone.


If nothing else, the JVC Gumy Air earphones let add a touch of style to your personal listening experience. The game is available in seven colors - black, blue, green, pink, red, silver and purple - in a metallic hue Start with the receiver and continue through the 40-inch flat at Y-cable, JVC has developed a slider To avoid any confusion while the headphones were not in use. There are others to speak: no case, no card, no sound insulation capacity. But for $ 15, we can not really complain.


What can Gumy Air earphones for complaints because users are comfortable. The Gumy headphones are similar to actions designed to sit directly behind the ear. However, these headphones molded rubber sleeve surrounding each home. The sleeve is certainly cushier installing foam supports, but can still exert some pressure on the cartilage of the ear. In addition, there is only one dimension of the sleeve, the limits of adaptation. Another minor complaint: I am a bit sticky and therefore easily subject to long hair (ouch catches).


The main problem is that if you're not fit enough, precious stones, as in our case, the sound quality suffers. We had to press Gumy Air earphones in their ears to hear what they offer quality audio, which is pretty good. In general, music sounds clear and open with a hint of bass. If you can not get a good fit, music sounds weak and poor, no bass.

41inbcg-g0L._SL500_AA300_ The first to do what most likely, a new MP3 players are responsible for all your favorite music. Once done, the next step is the best helmet poor quality in the package to replace. Of course not everybody wants a bundle of money is set to a new pair of headphones, JVC Gumy headphones are where the colors are only $ 14.95 price drop, but you can often Internet and a lot less. This is not the standard plastic jewelry are as comfortable as her brother, step-up offering the JVC Marshmallow, the same impressive sound quality, but an elegant Gumy step-up features in action. If you lose only $ 10 or less, is this a decent choice.


JVC Gumy headphones are a way that is generally designed for headphones. The relatively low cycle pads hard, smooth plastic and the importance of the rest just inside the outer ear. This is a one-size-fits-all plan that is actually good for everybody. Although insufficiently Gumy headphones in your ears, the material and how the ear a little uncomfortable pressure on the cartilage of the ear was used after one hour of sleep.


For owners of MP3 players that are interested in the headset with a touch of style, JVC Gumy should a good fit. They are available in nine colors ranging from green kiwi silence (black / white, etc.) and fruit (grapes and red, etc), that is, you should find in a position to complete a series of aircraft, regardless Does your shadow. The skin color varies between the headphones that have an accent light, filled all the way through the 40-inch cable with a gold plating line link. Although the cable is very thin in Y, which is a slider for the cables must be avoided, and the background very durable.


JVC Marshmallow Headphones Contrary to this level, we have been overwhelmed by impressive sound quality, the JVC Gumy offer that is more in your price range. Some songs sound better than others, even if we limit ourselves to a particular genre: Pop or Rock and Tears "fears," Suffer the Children "a hollow quality was significant, while others (" Guns N ' Rose Mr. Brownstone ") seems all very clear and workable. The same is true with hip-hop, disappointed, even if you're as weak, you will be. These headphones offer no seal in your ear, if the range is low enough that does not exist. Gumy intended to provide a slight improvement in the exchange, but not much.

Sony MDR-EX55LP earbuds review

Sony MDR-EX55LP Are you a ball of their hard earned money for a new MP3 player left on Finish to complete the purchase of accessories make the most of it may seem contradictory, but that's exactly what you should do: Update headphones. No need too much for a pair that is undoubtedly a substantial number of shares that are included with the device. Example: a stereo headset Sony MDR-EX55LP. These headphones will cost only $ 30, and a significant improvement in sound quality and comfort.
Because the helmet expect in this price class, are the Sony MDR-EX55LP Headphones plastic and feels cheap. However, there is a choice of four accent colors - black, blue, white or pink - and the arm that feeds the headphone cable has a metallic luster, offers a glimmer of style. In addition, the 'buds are wrapped in a layer of rubber for comfort. This, combined with its small round shape and the inclusion of three sets of silicone tips Sony (S, M and L), assistance in the form. We had no effort, a seal and comfortable on the headset for several hours. The package also includes a soft bag, but housing is not the cable that came with the helmet the same way at the same price level, the Sony MDR-EX36V.
Another feature is the lack of control of MDR-EX55LP in-line volume available on the 36V. Probably not, it is a disadvantage, but for the other model, but the fact that the two headphones at the same price, it is difficult to ignore. On the other hand, still prefer the 36V cable, the cable 55LP longer on the right side is designed to be worn behind the head - the style of the latter is better suited for running applications, however. As for the 36V, the power 55LP raises some concerns about the durability because it is very thin and plastic. The fact that in a plug-L (gold), this "fear dispel some tips.
Beyond comfort, the number one reason for the upgrade from stock headphones offer sound quality and the Sony MDR-EX55LP is certainly an improvement. The first thing you notice is the response at low revs, there is really small. But though the stock perform better than the 'buds, the bass is not as strong as 36V. However, the presentation of a comprehensive response 55LPs balanced sound, so noise is not so weak could be advantageous for some listeners. The average noise very hot and not too far, even if the items are not received by the rich and creamy, as in high-end headphones. In addition, there are not many details on the top, but in no case submissions. Clarity is solid, and the helmet should be a good option for those who have heard many different types of music.

Sennheiser CX-500 earphones review

Sennheiser CX-500 earphones Design
The first thing we noticed about the CX-500 is the color. Completely off the white earphones with 3.5mm jack, Sennheiser makes no secret of their target audience: iPod owners. The 3.5mm jack is not worthy of an iPhone, but they were usually made with Apple's MP3 player in mind.


The line of demarcation, it is particularly 11.00, seems a bit fragile, but we arrived and it draws very well, and there is no sign of collapse. We believe that the cable was too short, though, as there is barely long enough for a down bag at hand, and was certainly not long enough to reach our pockets. It included shirt clip was useless to us, our problem was a rebel who would not get tangled cables, but it was not enough rope to be taken first.
We were concerned about the volume control halfway down the cord. It is very convenient, especially if someone tried to talk to us, and we had to listen to our music too loud, but the volume control on the headset is generally no way a separate amplifier, which almost always bad. However, representatives Sennheiser ensure that there is only one volume attenuator and does not alter the audio signal at all in September when the "MAX".
We liked that combined choice of six pairs, and found a way to double-flange to fit the best. We would like to see a headset foam, which appear from our experience the best sound insulation to give, but those rubber complain good enough for us, worked their absence too.

Sound
We listened to a loss, FLAC encoded digital music playlist to the limit of the CX-500 test. Play everything from The Cure to Dr. Dre to Elliott Smith, the Sennheiser is well developed, although the improvement was minimal in listening to compressed music on our iPod Bjork. Conversely, our slow songs like The Cure "Boys Do not Cry" ripped at 128 kbps sound better than they are on cheap headphones (like iPod headphones).
The earphones seemed a bit overwhelmed by the bass notes, especially evident on songs such as Elliott Smith's acoustic "between bars. We heard statický fuzz in the back of softer songs, which most listeners better with extreme smooth, almost imperceptible hiss replaced. We believe that the helmet Lot Better Than handle digital recordings similar to those. For example, fly the same context we got two (admittedly lo-fi) Elliott Smith and Iron & Wine songs on our Playlist FLAC is gone when we heard the sounds generated by computer from postal services "Such Great Heights".
The absence of listeners foam hurts, the CX-500, in most acoustic. The sound is excellent, no noise outside, but when we took the subway, we have found the volume to completely block ambient noise.

 
Accessories
The CX500 comes with a good set of accessories, including an alligator clip for hanging a shirt or jacket, a drum with rubber tracks for each bud and two sets of S / M headset / L, an ordinary double and a strap and a bag to stuff everything in. A modular system, or foam earphone CX500 help here, and it was nice to see an airplane adapter, especially since we have a nice bag to carry comfortably in.

Skullcandy 50/50 earbuds headphone review

Skullcandy 50/50 earbuds SkullCandy has a name in the world of headphones, thanks to its concentration, as cowardly tactics and aggressive marketing to tweens, teens and young adults. However, Skull Candy headphones in the past pipes may be more geared towards adults who have seen the company. 50:50 The helmet moderately low $ 49.95 come in a variety of color options are relatively modest and controls in line for the iPhone and iPod, and an amazing response at the low end. Clarity is not the best, and feel a bit "cheap and fragile, but if you need a headset with a touch of style and lots of sand, it's not a bad option.


As mentioned previously, the 50/50 Skullcandy headphones will not win prizes for the high-level structure. The headphones are quite large - like the accents and the microphone module - are made of hard plastic, low-feeling. The cable is flexible, but it is easily confused and seems very fragile, connections to the plug and helmet, which shows that the device could not viable long term. Another disadvantage is the design of the relatively large opening of the ear, some disadvantages for people with small ear openings or can not create perfectly round.


Design complaints aside, the style headphones Skullcandy 50/50 is very attractive. Available in a choice of six colors - black, white / chrome, red shoes, blue shoes, green / black / chrome - all fairly small (at least for Skull Candy). A small skull logo adorns the outside of each earpiece and microphone module, which is a few inches straight cable Y. This module is also where the volume and playback controls for the iPhone and iPod found. A track PLAY / PAUSE, two steps forward, three steps back-flips. Skullcandy includes a zippered pouch fit three sizes of silicone inserts (not enough, in our opinion).


There is no doubt that the 50/50 Skullcandy headphones are a great improvement for those who heard the low populations of deaf people that come with most MP3 players. Sure, they sound better than what you get with the iPhone. In particular, the provision of the limited range is considerable, and 50/50 can be supplied with minimal distortion, even if less mushi and more freedom in this case. For those who want a tighter, more locked in low range prefer, these headphones are not satisfactory. In addition, the clarity is not the best, and tend to leave the treble and mixed in some cases, it is your thing so classic deleted. However, the mids are warm, but not completely overwhelmed by the huge bass.

V-Moda Crossfade LP headphones Review

V-Moda-Crossfade-4 V-Moda has had a reputation for style, low-profile helmet which is not very surprising that the company keep its finger in the water full-size headphones. As expected, the entrance to the V-Moda in space is as elegant as his brothers ultraportable. Headphones LP Crossfade run $ 250 and have a high quality construction, features, and a perfect fit. Unfortunately, the audio quality comparable to the price range, so if this is your main concern, not the best option.


To say that the helmet Crossfade LP is different from V-Moda headphones other a little ", a euphemism. Supertiny REMIX line includes only in-ear models, and the monsters spring are compared. These are the actual doses Enlarge stuffed with big ears and a band ultracushy Nice upholstery. The result is a perfect fit for almost any head size and shape, but the "phone that has been covered in our ears a little, and itching to make a tendency for prolonged use, but not excessive, however.


Crossfade LP-style is very attractive, such a device does not feel "hard core" to leave me. The earphones are available in a choice of three colors - black spectrum bronze, chrome or pearl white - and each version has a shiny metal plate on the helmet and diadem with mini-screws. The cups are also click on the circle of metal through the arms of the skeleton as satisfactory, if you have connected a change in the helmet.


The elegance extends to the headset cable detachable Crossfade LP "who are flexible with a soft gray and black and imagination, which became nozzle cap V-Moda are now covered. The cable is often Outer and connectors are gold plated to the general feeling of quality construction created. It is also interesting to note that a detachable cable with a microphone and line playback and volume, which includes with the iPhone and iPod work. In addition, the package includes a quarter-inch adapter, a hook and a hard-case. Unfortunately, the headset does not fold LP Crossfade at all, and that the public is a complicated issue.


Until I really started to test the headset audio fade LP, have all fallen short of its price of $ 250. Unfortunately, the sound quality is not comparable to other series in this area to snuff. In fact, our offer of $ 80 headphones Creative Aurvana Live clean, balanced sound than the LP Crossfade.
It took some time, "DIY to identify the problem, but we realized that the point of these headphones is removed. Under the high pressure in our test iPod Audio significantly improved to be able to get decent sound You could here a sufficient amount of EQ. However, it is possible that the low-end is still missing if you are really low. Although not also miss the bottom, we believe that these headphones a little boom over . But the overall sound is not terrible, and it remains constant across genres, so if you love style and design and does not bother me a lot of tinkering with the equalizer, melted form LP helmet.

Monster Diddybeats High Performance In-Ear Headphones Review

020110b_sm Arguably the best people to create audio products, such as headphones are musicians. This feeling was probably when the Monster cable companies teamed up with Dr. Dre to create a line of headphones vetoed the legend of hip-hop. Beats boxes line from large to study a pair of brilliant "home of Lady Gaga. Now, Monster and Dr. Dre Sean "Diddy" Combs in the fold, and introduced a new model line, helmet Diddybeats high performance ear. The helmet $ 150 probably reflects the fashion sense of the rapper, but what is even better is that they provide useful features and good sound quality too.


The first thing that is very likely that the notice should be removed from its packaging Diddybeats Monster is that they are very well built. cone of light from the head of thick, flat, gold-plated L-plug tape reinforced everything seems bright and enduring. And, of course, not without some constraints along Beats style. Each headset comes with a "small, logo db" on the outer edge and a little "fake fur colored frame around it. You have a choice of three colors pink and cable end: black, white or transparent. (The Black seems much less likely to wear out, like the other two seem to collect dirt easily.)
Going down the headphone cord, you will find some other features worthy of mention. The first is an online form that contains a microphone, a volume switch and a multifunction button that answers calls and playback controls to the iPhone or iPod. The Diddybeats also a scroll bar below to help with the complexity of the Y, we did not realize that many problems during the test. The beauty of a flat cable, is that it tends to turn on itself. Intersection is a good piece, metal accents and Monster Diddybeats embossed logo.
The only problem with a heavy cable is that we have discovered that the plates tend to slip out of our ears. This could also be due to the size of headphones or a cone-shaped ear does mesh well with our testers. In any event, was unable to secure access, but given the extraordinary variety of olives in the package - a soap opera, six standard models with silicone and two triple flange tips - this n is probably not a problem of all. Monster also includes a travel bag in the package pretty basic.
We Diddybeats the test with a playlist of songs from a variety of genres and was pleased that these headphones are able to provide good sound for those who have eclectic tastes. The reproduction is very balanced, with great detail through high-end and low end that strikes without violence. In all cases, the music could stand a little more "spark, and MID are a bit" lacking in the quality of butter that we aspire, but the songs of her very warm and rich mid range is not too far forward. To be clear: this is not audiophile headphones, but no doubt respond to the listener of music than the average. So if you like lots of different music and wants a mobile headset are not like the others, Diddybeats are a great option.

Jays V-Jays Headphones Review

jays v-jays Swedish producer of headphones is not exactly a newcomer to the market but the products of the company has yet to make inroads at CNET Reviews the table until recently. The first pair to win the privilege is an elegant model to the ear with a super lightweight and compact design called V-Jays ($ 98). These headphones have a very balanced and restrained style that are sure to interest the attention of more than one enemy controller, but the answers to the weak and anemic low-end turn off some potential buyers.


At first glance, the V-Jays earphones remind us of the original Walkman cassette models, due to its low profile design, small cushions, and using a "Y" cable instead of a single rope descending from a helmet . However, the V-Jays certainly more accurate with his pads square and shiny black finish on the ends of the band. In addition, the basis of these headphones shows multiple phones are a step above business models, or draw. In addition, the cable is exceptionally thick and has a good reminder of the anchors of gold.
However, we can not avoid thinking that the V-Jays seems quite fragile and delicate, perhaps for use as building materials. Hence the double-edged sword of an ultra-compact laptop is nice, but do not feel generally robust. In addition, the headphones seem cheap and covered with foam tear easily - right on our test unit already had a small hole when removed from the sealed package. Finally, we want the headphones once more compact: only with headphones sometimes do not really do anything much smaller. It would be nice if Jays had planned to carry a purse, too.
In terms of fit and comfort, we have mixed feelings. On the one hand, the V-Jays earphones are extremely lightweight, so maybe just in your head - except for the pressure of a little ear on the sides of the head. Some users may find this particularly annoying, but we could not use for more than an hour or two without some discomfort. The constant pressure is also felt as if the helmet can be expelled from our minds, but fortunately, the Blue Jays had the foresight to put a strip of felt on the group. This provides sufficient traction on the hair to keep the helmet on your head, even though we had some difficulties to keep the helmet firmly in place in our ears.
When we arrived at the correct position, we are particularly impressed by the sound quality offered by the V-Jays earphones, because they provide a fairly balanced response. Music comes through nice and clear, with a reasonable amount of upscale retail, even if the answer is not as sharp as some prefer. The average is warm without being arrogant, but it has a slightly nasal quality that keeps the level of wealth we enjoy. The lower part is also present, but only experienced success true for you, traces of heavy bass, like dance techno remix of Michelle Williams' We Break the Dawn "and" INI Kross Roads. Excursion anemia tend to less thin sounding, especially compared with the headphones in the same price range as the V-Jays. Thus, these earphones are best suited for those who hate stick buds in their ears.

Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) P5 Headphones Review

Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) P5 Headphones In recent years, Bowers & Wilkins (B & W), one of the most legendary names in British Hi-Fi efforts to a wide audience of roots was for audiophiles. It has a number of unique style and Zeppelin iPod speaker systems and is now connecting PC speakers and headphones for P5 MM1 in this review.
In line with the direction of the company in a unique design that distinguish the final kick P5S $ 299 stylish and successful and at the same time. The construction seems very solid and padded leather strap pads provide a good sense of luxury, providing easily comparable with the Bose QuietComfort headphones, which works in almost the same price.
In contrast to anti-noise headphones from Bose offers P5S passive, not active noise cancellation. What does this mean? Well, as the Bose QuietComfort 3 / 2 are in-ear headphones that sit flush - and adapted quite well - the ear.
They are very comfortable and block outside noise, even when we went through the streets of the bustling city of New York. They are not as efficient as the Bose acoustic panels, but we decided to have a good job for the passive noise canceling headphones - and do not leak sound, whatever, so that people do not want to hear your music.
However, a drawback of the design in the ear, we had a little problem with his glasses (he had the helmet sits on the ear to take up arms to adjust the lenses do not dig the side of the head), and if under the time spent, we have our ears in a damp, especially after walking briskly for several minutes.
The P5S have some unique characteristics. First, the atria are square-ish and removable magnetic mount (if they are interchangeable, is B & W does not seem to find an easy way to get new shoes offer). After removal of the left atrium, you will notice that the power of 48 "actually had a headphone jack 2.5 mm and is removable and interchangeable. This cable has an integrated microphone and a volume control, which is near the top of the cable does not realize it, because control of the mic / volume is not more often than cable. microphone and remote areas are particularly compatible with the iPhone 3G and latest iPod models. Using with an iPhone, the music stops when you receive a call when you are done with the (o), the music automatically starts to ignore.
For those that do not contain a compatible iPhone / iPod, a second cable shorter than for any standard 3.5 mm to work. It is also interesting to note that B & W in a two-way adapter for air flow. The case is nice, but can be a little 'of Burberry-style taste of some people. For traveling, the headphones fold flat into the frame and top hat to his chest when placed on the neck.
The headphones P5S are generally sound very good. Some owners have found the P5 headphones need a little break at the right time their best, so we gave him a few days before the letter to hear our audit. You may find that you can adapt the earphones to the position of the sound to change something, you should play with placement to optimize performance.
In our tests, the first thing is that P5S account that are not too aggressive and reject the hottest part of a dynamic and well balanced, full of bass and good clarity.
Steve Guttenberg, home theater speakers and headphones for CNET Reviews, Sun P5S loved how it sounded, however, said P5S when Peter Gabriel album "scratch my back, after a slash" / point of view about their sound fresh (and now discontinued) were the Sennheiser HD 580 is that it is reopened. "Part of this difference can be attributed to P5S" the best tonal balance, "Guttenberg said," and Gabriel's voice and string orchestra seemed to directly affect P5S. "He also noted that the headphones are P5S significantly better in the rock (the bass is stronger and more dynamic than the life of the contrabass HD 580). Treble is very - not too bright or soft.
Guttenberg, many upper class, prefer an open design headset with a back because the music is not in the head and airy. But his loss of open headphones back and not do a good job shutting down the noise.
This criticism has devoted much time certain "compared to Bose QuietComfort P5S 3S, sold for $ 50 more, a design similar to the ear and are designed for a client that B & W, probably will be used: the travelers' business and have nothing, but must pay $ 300 for headphones.
In terms of comfort, we have given the green light for the Bose, but the B & W feel better in general (ie higher). The P5S did a little "under strict and clearer, stronger. We note, however, that P5S more volume for the driver, who was also the case when we put the Monster Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones disadvantages P5S Studio. Editor Justin Yu has a pair and said: "I prefer the monsters of pop music, hip-hop and other genres that rely on electronic instruments, flying low, and the heavy mixture. However, the B & better with Jazz and more "Natural Melody."
Finally we went to this B & W headphones flavor. They offer great sound and comfort, a good seal that blocks noise from outside and much to avoid loss of sound. The inclusion of an inline microphone and volume control is a nice bonus for iPhone users and found P5S great for phone calls. The caller said he could hear very well and we get along very well because the hull, as mentioned, do a good job to drown out the noise.
Besides the high price of $ 300, the B & W P5S is "the greatest disadvantage, simply, that if they do not compact the largest by ear headphones, like the jokes - and you know, so stupid that takes you on the streets - these guys really the heat of the ears. This may be a good thing in winter in the colder regions of the world, but the hottest days are quite uncomfortable quickly. If you can live with - and plan their "internal use - we have no problem recommending them.

Rockford Fosgate PP15mm Punch Plugs In-Ear Headphones review

Rockford Fosgate PP15mm  Punch Plugs In-Ear Headphones If you've got the headphones on the market for a new pair, Rockford Fosgate probably not a company that comes to mind that is almost exclusively a manufacturer of car audio. In fact, apart from some environmentally friendly products by boat and a number of speakers DJ-friendly, Rockford Fosgate nonautomobile only novelty is a new pair of in-ear headphones, took PP15mm Punch. The $ 99 headphones are a smart and powerful low-speed, but the distortion of sound in some parts probably scare the purists.
The headphone jack style Punch is a little "different from most others we've found. Namely, the headset is in use, hard plastic with open arms any extra long ocean. As such, it is certainly the best option for those not wishing to be part of something very deep in the ear. Although we have obtained a good fit, especially given the wide variety of mono-and silicone inserts on the brakes, the configuration is not desirable . However, the logo of red and silver label on the external drive to each piece a touch of style.
After his Slope Style, the headphones have a connector plate fist, black tie to each listener and connect to a cross of red and black rubber. In the end, a straight reinforced silver plug, which has also highlighted some red. In fact, the general appearance and design very similar to Dr. Dre Headphones beat desk. face helmet, Rockford Fosgate package is a pretty hard case with two zippered pockets inside.
In general, the background music through the connector firmly Punch sounds, but we are not impressed during the test. In other words, playing in the same way that we can expect a set of headphones for a hundred dollar. There are many low-end for those who thirst for bass, but the downside some pieces that distort competition. Their sound is half dry and hot, but not so rich and enveloping that this is a bit "less Klipsch Image S4. Of course, some fist plug 'sustainable disappear, so that there can be a draw for some. Our complaint is the lack precision and clarity of sound through the high, if not worse than we experience. Certainly no "outbreaks of credit for a good sound insulation and efficiency, will not turn the MP3 player much at all, for listening to music.

V-Moda Remix Remote Earphone Review

V-Moda Remix Remote Earphones V-Moda has a reputation for style, low-profile headphones. The good word is that these products offer a variety of low-end low blow anemic known for shares offered through headphones was facilitated. The latest addition to the factory settings of the pump V-Moda Remix  remote is no exception. This pair of $ 99 provides a series of arrows, elegant design with an integrated microphone and remote control for use with the iPhone, iPod, and a single junction box that is designed to resist wear. but the audio is not the cleanest and most balanced we've found in this price class, making this a better option for serious drugs than those who prefer a smooth, flat response.
V-Moda really shines in the planning office, Remix Remote earphones are a perfect example. The game begins with a gold standard, which is a modification of rubber in the form of L closed - is keeping a hose nozzle, and seems more robust than many other headsets. E 'followed by the rubber cord 34 inches thick. These units of a plastic module that houses the microphone and built-in iPod control and more than 13 cm cable He adds that the compact dual headphone port.
The Remix Remote is now available in Black only an option that is available with black chrome, but V-Moda has plans to add other colors in the future. The entire project - the headphone jack gun engraving in shape - it looks elegant and feels very solid, although the headphone cord seems a bit "fragile. V-Moda has a lot of basis for your investment looks good and a wide range of small headphone clips extra large ears, for the leadership of the gems in place during training, and a clip for removable microphone cable Keep your clothes closer to her mouth. We had no problems, a good attitude, but the opening and the barrel-shaped ear tends to bring an uncomfortable pressure in the ear after an hour of exercise. Probably not so much a problem with this for the ears of someone big.
If you get a good fit with the V-Moda Remix Remote, you will be rewarded with a lot of punch at low speeds and impressive sound isolation. But the noise is generated by the friction of the cable through the body, while the sensitive segment of quiet songs, a perverse effect of a stamp to the big ear. Remix  remote is not the best option for those who do not want deep bass and global. The headphones are basically hard, we had some distortion of the tracks where the bass more prominent (50 Cent Candy Shop ", for example). The media still sounded rich and beautiful, but the high level detail tends to get lost, which can not be the best solution for people who want to read more clearly. Overall, the sound is not very balanced, but we found that the commonly accepted actions. There is no doubt that it gives them a point above all to your iPod or iPhone.

Phiaton PS 210 Sound Isolating Earphones review

Phiaton PS 210 Sound Isolating Earphones In an area dominated by the likes of Bose, Sennheiser, Shure and Phiaton is relatively new, the hull of the game. The company has their attention from the original direction with a bold and elegant design, it was not superior to lines. Phiaton followed this strategy with its latest handsets, the isolation of PS 210 in-ear headphones. This rate of $ 99 is not the best option to block ambient noise, but provides a clear, balanced and, above all, an extremely comfortable. Those who prefer a low weight should stay away, however.


Headphones Phiaton PS 210 has an unusual structure that may or may not bode well, according to the user. A headset with a disc-shaped piece tapered exterior that looks like something connected turbine headphones Monster, with incised lines, outbreaks seem an airplane propeller. A handle from inside the disc is in a silicone tip that fits the ear injury. Although we found that this form of innovative design, provides a good seal with the ear, and we could see how secure the module can not work to all users. On the positive side, Phiaton contains four sizes of silicone tips that help.
PS Phiaton headphones 210 are connected to a cable standard thickness. Phiaton to build a cursor at the intersection of S to avoid tangling. In each action line 43 "and ends with a connector even gold. The overall design does not seem particularly weak or sustainable, but somewhere in between. There is no real features to speak properly, outside the cylindrical leather case included sure to leave the headset.
From the beginning, we can say that the SP 210 Headphones Phiaton are an excellent option for those who listen to a variety of types. These excellent results in all sectors without distortions that sometimes twisted patterns of low-end frequencies. The only drawback is that the bass seems a little "behind the music, but when necessary (as in" Eminem Shake That ") is present and powerful bass. If we as a whole was able to seal with the ear , the bass sound even better.
The best thing with the HP 210, in response to your audio balance. At no time did we believe that each type has often been a shadow over the rest. There is good information for the top. Although the summit can not be clear enough for some, they do very well in the range of $ 100. The media is smooth and uniform, but prefer to respond a little "more butter. Treatment is only the sound seems pretty open to a headset, probably due to the lack of a stamp. And there is no cable noise brushes on the front of the shirt. In general, PS 210 in the audio department to impress.

Klipsch Image X10i headphones review

klipsch_image_x10i For people who are seriously sound quality - Audiophile usually called - most ultra-portable headphone in the market are not easy to cut. And "this fact that gives companies like Klipsch a reason to do something like image X10i. This stylish headset is $ 350, but good money, you get better sound quality and many extras convincing. However, when potential buyers from the beginning that this type of investment is justified if you know or feel particularly high-quality audio files without losses.


The Klipsch Image X10i is a close relative of the image and X10 is immediately evident in the design. The X10i features headphone and small, are copper Superslim ideal for those with small ears, or standard headphones are not comfortable for its rigorous round. Klipsch includes five sets to form a silicone inserts - three cap sizes and two standard measures of double flange tips. The sleeves are standard in small, medium and large, although the actual size is closer to micro, small and medium enterprises. This note is for those above the ears. In addition to the accessories, the package contains a handful of essential equipment: an airplane adapter, a quarter-inch adapter, a cleaning tool and a difficult case for a magnetic closure flap.
The descent from any type of headphones image is a black wire X10i Ultra. The wire is flexible and Klipsch uses a patented process to be sustainable, but a very orderly abdomen, which may affect the long-term sustainability. To allay these concerns, however, Klipsch offers two year warranty and customer support. Intersection of the Y cable, is the reason for the "i" at the end of the product name: a module with an integrated microphone, volume control and a button to a call that has a dual function of the response to control playback iPhone and iPod. Below is a clip of the module to fix the microphone to his mouth. The cable measures 48 inches in diameter, and ends with a strengthening gold plated right candles.
All these extras grace and kindness is good, but only way to truly appreciate the X10i is trying Klipsch Image is exactly what we did. The first step useful, and we had no trouble finding headset for peace, comfort and safety of our ears with the standard midpoint. The slightly oval in shape, more like the actual form of the ear is a circle, with the headphones remain in place and ensure a good seal in your ear. As such, X10i Image offers a decent amount of passive attenuation, but not as much as we have lived with touches of compressible foam. There is also some noise from reading a wire brush in the quietest parts of songs, but nothing excessive.
By far the most impressive picture is X10i sound quality. These headphones can work, some of the cleanest, well-balanced sound quality hopefully all without sacrificing low end. The bass is present but very narrow and does not tend to crush or distort music. The first test list was 3 Britney Spears, "a dance-pop with electronic elements. His singing is sweet and melodic, strike the hand light and crisp and the bass deep and complete. This is the case in all the areas, detailed highs and rich media crema, that a low level. We have recovered from the alt pop, metal and classical dance to reggaeton and have never been disappointed by the response. These artists are truly amazing in all fields .
That means you can only establish that the target group for the X10i Klipsch Image is very low. You can, each with eclectic tastes will certainly enjoy these headphones, but at this price is really useful for students who are very difficult for most of their music in lossless or nearly lossless. And like most music phones are not (yet) have the ability to process many files without loss, this helmet is better than the iPod Classic owners with audiophile tendencies.

Audio Technica ATH-ANC1 QuietPoint ANC1 headphone review

Audio Technica ATH-ANC1 Frequent travelers have a special challenge when it's time to pick out headphones. Search 'phones with a travel-friendly design but also are comfortable and offer great sound with a certain ability to stop the noise can be difficult. Well, on a budget of $ 100 and can add, forget all these features in one package ... or maybe not. Audio-Technica ATH-ANC1 QuietPoint ANC1 can have an MSRP of $ 130, but can be found online for $ 100, and cover all the considerations before.


Headphones Audio-Technica QuietPoint ATH-ANC1 are clearly designed for travelers: it is one of the most compact models in the ear, we know. Adjustable metal tape is very thin and black with a soft plastic material. You might think that the lack of padding on the tape, the bulk material is possible to eliminate the uncomfortable, it is surprising that this is not the case. While not providing the maximum comfort, the headphones are not too tight and are very light. In addition, compact headphones also impressive 1.7 inches in diameter, filled with a soft synthetic leather. The only possible drawback is that the band would not be stopped.
In the fall of each earpiece is a soft thick black cable, the combination of a base in a Y-junction, which is thick and strong. Follow-inch cable to the HUD-NC1 another 21 and you get the noise reduction module integrated. We say we're very happy with the performance of this function, because it is well positioned to cut the pocket or belt, unlike his shirt. Another cable, which measures an additional 10 "and ends with a line of gold-plated plug, is used to connect an audio device.
In addition to the noise reduction function - the case of a very simple with a battery on / off and integrated clip - Audio-Technica has some other accessories in the box. The ATH-ANC1 comes with one AAA battery, to the extent of 20 inches, an airplane adapter with two leaves and a soft case against two RV. You can also turn the headset with or without noise reduction. Not bad, considering the convenience of the road.
Even if the function is activated ATH-ANC1 very well without the noise, the sound is a bit boring 'is not found and when to play this way, but the fact is that even a decent sound without the battery. However, throw the switch makes a big difference. The music is both deeper, richer and more open. Kicky down without being intrusive, and the midrange was very warm and butter of quality we want. The high notes are amazing in detail, due to lower prices, if it is not clear enough for some listeners.
to block the ability of the ATH-ANC1, the noise, we have plenty. We try to see in a crowded bar and I'm glad a significant reduction in the endless talk about us. Moreover, these phones are not the most efficient we tested, we had to test MP3 players posted almost all classes, we want to maintain the volume, and we know not to listen to music at high level. So if you like their music is strong, is not satisfactory for you. But in general we were impressed by the level of available audio and ATH-ANC1 balance and we believe are good for those who enjoy a variety of musical genres.

MEElectronics M6 earphones review

MEElectronics M6 earphones If it drops below $ 50 headphones brand in the mobile market, then you are trying to govern in a substantial invasion of the construction and sound quality. So we were pleasantly surprised recently to offer the budget price range. One example is the earphones MEElectronics M6, a series of $ 40 a surprisingly robust design that fits well and looks good deals. Better yet, offering a large amount of bass and good overall sound quality - if you are willing to make a small sacrifice to be clarity and balance.


Unlike most cheap headphones, M6S MEElectronics have an impressive number, it seemed a durable design. You can choose between the colors red, black or transparent models. Both headsets are first colored with a black cable and associated with black caps. The pattern is clear that the most interesting of the three, with clarity of the headphones, you see the technology inside and give the headphones seem to come from a "professional look. As descendants of the headphone cable is a 52-inch silver double layer of transparent plastic, which makes some shine and gives an impressive and reasonably dense tangle resistant. The cable is terminated with a gold-plated L-plug having a super-flexible, the housing assembly.
In addition to the robust construction of the M6 offers headphone access very secure, thanks to an extensive line of memory available on any phone. This lets you move the wire in the ear, in fact, the handset will be used this way because of its shape, if you find this arrangement uncomfortable, not the handset. During testing we had problems with the M6 to feel comfortable and safe, although a bit of adjustment on the headset sitting place. MEElectronics includes four sets of silicone tips - three standard sizes of the clamp and a pair of triples - on the package support. Other welcome additions are a hard case with zipper, wire coat and a shirt clip is integrated into the cable. There is also a dual airline adapter components, whether they are a little "are obsolete.
If a pair of headphones to this level of accessibility to inspire praise in the departments of design and functionality, we can not help thinking that the corners were cut in terms of sound quality. Fortunately, this is not the case with the headphones M6, offering a very good sound for the price. Those who are more seriously in his life will surely be happy with M6 definitely itching pumps below. The disadvantage is that some tracks suffer from distortions, and it's under a bit "loose and soft, which means it is more likely to dominate the songs. However, there are certainly many listeners prefer.
The result is that the headset is not entirely devoid M6 High-level retail, and most of the different instruments and sounds are clear, despite the interest in the low range. That is, if brighter, clearer sound and prefer a little cooler, not the law. The media always seem a bit "flat for us, but in general, the headphones offer a warm and enveloping sound. electronic electro pop, indie, hip-hop and dance music all the good results. Ultimately, the M6 is a fantastic value for anyone not totally clean and balanced with audio data.

Think sound Rain 9 mm headphones Review

Thinksound Rain 9 mm Electronic notebooks are not known for all clean, especially in the materials used in production and so difficult to remove. Helm seems unlikely strictly limited impact with long metal and plastic components and silicon. However, thinking about any sound that change with two new lines of headphones designed with the smallest possible size. A template is a lively 9 mm headphones, a set of $ 100, more than $ 60 and sold online.


Like other "natural" headphones, as we saw in the ear of pollution and Stamp Wooden, headphones are equipped with rain covers are made of wood. You can choose between two surfaces, choose a lighter model silver rich black cherry and chocolate. Under its mantra, the sound is replaced Think wood from renewable sources with ease. The company also uses packaging materials of the headphones and cables, which measure 50 cm in length, free of PVC recycling. Of course, the case is also made of biodegradable cotton available.
Another interesting feature is that the rain nine mm headphones are compact enough, but are longer and thinner than their brothers and sisters, Thunder 10 mm helmet. To help you in your ear, includes four audio formats Think of silicone tips, which amount to XS, S, M, L, and size. The downside for some people is that the sleeves are not big enough, but the headphones are an excellent choice for people with small ears. We managed to get a seal with the tip of the headset and found it easy for a couple of hours, but not every day. The cable seems a little "fine, but is flexible and gold-plated connector is linearly surrounded by a dense field of reinforcement. Secure the cable seems fragile to the headphones, and this disorder is not strong.
As with other pieces of wood, we have heard with headphones provided a natural and open rain during the test. However, do not offer the response that we have lived with a helmet or even Storm Wooden, probably due to different types of headphones. Moreover, we find that the headphones are available for busy professionals and general information about the top end, for lack of low-end sound, especially when compared with the Thunder are looking for. No doubt this has something to do with the smaller size of the driver. The overall result is that the sound of the refrigerator warmer, and this is something that we prefer the sounds, but some listeners may feel differently. The results of the pilot is small you do not hear any distortion and noise it produces is very clean.
In general, we find that the audio product, the bass response of high-end new media seem to us sometimes when you listen to music promotes. Enjoyed popular, oldies and classical music to listen to these gems. If this kind of music tend to love the rain, are a solid choice, but only if you find for about $ 60 instead of $ 100. You are not a good option for those with more eclectic taste in music.

Yamaha EPH-30 Headphone Review

Yamaha EPH-30 If it drops below $ 50 handset brand in the mobile market, we will try to usually a significant drop in sound quality. We are always pleasantly surprised by a pair of headphones to be able to offer incredible sound quality at low prices - better yet, if you feel comfortable and well. EPH-30 Yamaha is a game, for example, and if it is not without risk, we highly recommend these headphones $ 40.


The PDC-30 Yamaha headphones do not cut rewarded for quality in the design department, even when we are ready, you little game due to its low price and are solid. The cable is thin and the mix of themes and looks very fragile, and the headphones are made of cheap plastic feel. On the positive side, you can choose between black or white versions, which offer a style a bit "with an emphasis on chromium. This makes the headphones a bit of jewelry's more, as some perhaps more interesting than others. It 's interesting to note that the white version picks up dirt easily. In addition, these headphones a Y cable with the right side more than compensated, so that you can take the cable behind the left neck easier - good for training . The cable measures 48 inches and it all ends with a pin, gold plated.
Despite the sense of EPH-30 Yamaha cheap headphones, we are not without praise for the design. The headphones are nice, allows easy adjustment for users of small ears. Yamaha includes three sizes of silicone tips, which tend to the small street (which should be taken into account with large ears). We found the headset very comfortable after more than an hour to carry. Better yet, offer a passive acoustic, and no cable noise by rubbing the front of the body.
The big surprise of this headset is its efficiency and sound quality. It really is not much to drive through the Yamaha sound EPH 30 years, are a good option if you want to keep the battery MEDIA MP3 player (or if you hear the loud music, but not recommended). Moreover, while these headphones do not offer the cleanest of all types of audio models twice its price, which pumps his game surprisingly good for a sub-$ 50. There are lots of deep bass and especially closely, and highs are crisp and detailed for the most part. The media is soft and not too nasal.
We found some low-end distortion and lack of heat S4S Klipsch image, but again they are twice the price of the DC-30 Yamaha headphones. For those on a budget, but we are determined to replace it with the yolks with something that is an important step in measuring and sound quality, offering an excellent choice.

Denon AH-NC600 Earphones Review

Denon AH-NC600There are many cancellation ear noise are options, Denon $ 199.99 (list) AH-NC600 immediately took our attention. This pair of headphones sounds good, offers deep bass and clear high frequency response. And while the noise is not bad, that require an external circuit in a box for the cable is connected houses. Also requires one AAA battery, and even if the box is lightweight and has a belt clip, is heavy. If you can manage the bulky design, purchase the cause of these headphones is excellent audio performance, noise is not canceled, the main attraction.

 
About 8 inches of cable and plug the 3.5mm connector that plugs into the source of this noise, and is about 31 inches of cable from your ear to the box. A single switch controls how the three noise removal: Off, On, or choose to activate the noise suppression and allow the restoration. The conservator must restore the compressed audio information and dynamic, or at risk of excessive digital files. Let this will mean a higher level of integrity. It is a bit "strange to see a company of stature, Denon, using essentially a thing. On the positive side, unlike the Bose QuietComfort line of Denon AH-NC600 can be used in passive mode, which is activated without the noise cancellation and does not seem to affect the quality of sound at all.


The AH-NC600 does not say a rather dull design, this is interesting, but there is nothing extraordinary in black cap and individuals. Setting The headphones are comfortable and safe, however. This is important, because they feel much, even for long listening sessions and also because, for a secure grip in both ears keeps the stereo mix and the bass response appropriately. We have three types of silicone rubber earbuds () in different sizes, with a box of foam.
I've come to expect a high level of sound quality of Denon headphone

s, and not disappoint the couple. Low frequencies do not distort even when listening to bass-heavy tracks like "The Knife" Silent Shout "box in my tests. A level at a reasonable price to listen, the presence of low-end is divided and do not exaggerate but certainly deep enough to indicate with precision the impact of a bass drum and bass rock beautiful enough to orchestral music. Since the mid-frequency range of bread nails Denon is: You never sound this that is too bright or crisp, and there confounded by the low range. This is a very nice pair of audio headphones.


Noise reduction, on the other hand, almost seems like an afterthought. Note that the AH-NC600 passively block a decent amount of ambient noise. Throwing a switch to play without music is not likely to wow, but that includes some high-frequency sounds from the environment. Not as good as the Bose noise-cancellation, but not the worst I've heard.


I can understand the Denon AH-NC600 considered a good choice for frequent travelers who want to eliminate the noise, but more importantly, they want a pair of headphones that sound good, no storage space in a bag as big that the $ 300 Bose headphones CC 15. Personally, I like these headphones Denon would be better if the noise removal function is disabled (and bulky box) and lowered the price. However, for audiophiles who represents not only a cancellation of some "noise with superior audio quality, $ 200, the AH-NC600 is a lot even if the design is a bit" bulky.


The noise cancellation does not occur in the AH-NC600 circuit inside the hull, as with all models of Bose QuietComfort headphones that are larger. The same applies to the supplied headphones with the sound of breaking Sony Walkman X Series, but only on the basis of Sony noise-cancellation circuitry in the player itself. Consequently, the AH-NC600, to be with a box ounce, which is about 2.8 by 0.7 by 1 inches.

AKG K 518 LE headphones Review

akg k 518 le MP3 player may lose market share of mobile music, but one thing is certain: the portable devices is going nowhere. And the best possible experience, you need a decent headset. Of course, not everyone is pushing the headphones on, where the helmet is still compact in this sentence is the AKG K 518 LE for $ 139 retail, offers a stylish design and quality balanced audio.
When it comes to design gadgets, there is a fine line between boring and higher, and it works fine with headphones AKG K 518 LE. The semi-exposed metal and pop bands of color on the ears a bit of style, but not so much the more evident when the swing in public. The earphones are available in several different colors - from red to pink (seven colors in total) - so you should be able to find it difficult to attract the eye. Circular earphones are extremely compact, measuring 2.7 centimeters in diameter, so that next autumn the model directly in the category in the ear. As with any type of portable headphones do not think anything of himself, the K 518 is foldable for easy transport, and includes a soft case for travel.
Immediately after landing, the AKG K 518 LE at our head, we were greeted with a concern may develop: the helmet is very narrow. Use after less than an hour, were persecuted by the uncomfortable pressure on the upper ear cartilage. Furthermore, very hot in this period, although this may have been good or bad, depending on what you do. The adaptation of the course is very personal and I feel no discomfort. On the positive side, the headset fits very securely and offers a good amount of ear passive noise isolation of a basic model. Our unique design work, others with the K 518 is the top cable, (is) long and 40 cm in all sizes and magic can not be sustainable unless we appreciate the deep bass and pink making straight gold.
The AKG K 518 headphones are not the cleanest we had heard, but the sound quality is very solid for a series in this price range. Unlike some selected pieces, which had a quality of the clay, we were impressed by the performance in a variety of genres, and there is no problem to recommend to listeners with eclectic tastes. The lower limit is deep and present without being overwhelming power, in most cases, but you can add a little 'closer, as the trend toward soft and smooth. But instead, it is appropriate given the volume and its small size, it is a minor complaint. Between the two are rich and beautiful, simply the best in the stack, and there are a number of details on the high end, if you do not understand very well. Also you must be aware that there are many leaks of sound, which means that his neighbor in the train will probably be able to hear what you hear.
Ultimately, despite some problems of adaptation, we are very pleased to AKG K 518 LE. They offer good value for money with its sleek, balanced audio quality. If you are looking for a laptop, it has the ear of at least $ 150, give this shot a.

iFrogz EarPollution Timbre earphones review

iFrogz EarPollution Timbre earphones Settings of home audio speakers are included in the cabinet built by a variety of materials, many models of high-end stick to the cabinet in solid wood. The argument is that these natural materials special offers superior sound, it is not surprising that people are beginning to see the inclusion of more and more listeners in the wooden helmet. iFrogz offers an example of contamination Bell headphones, a couple low price seems very natural and ear sounds Sound Vibration below.
The contamination of the buffer helmets are available in two models: a standard version of an MP3 player that sells for $ 39.99 and a iPhone / smartphone with a line-in microphone and a price of $ 49.99. Both options are available in a choice of two models, either dark or light, medium and earphones are cylindrical in shape. They are based mainly in wood, although it really the end of a plastic metal. Descending from each ear is relatively thin, Y-14-inch black wire to match the thickness of wire to form. The solid line for another 30 inches before ending up in a nickel-plated straight plug. Overall, the cable is very thin and seems quite fragile, which is typical of headphones in this price range.
Although the helmet bell are not particularly large, we are not satisfied with the ergonomics, especially around the port, because the music is quite big. I mean, we were able to adjust reasonably comfortable with the smallest of the three sets of silicone sleeves in the box. In addition, he felt safe enough to withstand the headphones in the ears of a small business, although, of course, be prepared for all others.
You can be sure that your helmet is, and it is estimated that the headphones sound different from most that we tested. First, because much more open sound on the sound of what is typical in the ear of mobile ". Even his well minimum natural - there's really no other way to prepare. Of course, it is so small compared with the experience of actual cases, but the resonance of the lower ring is similar to the wood of expression patterns. However, the reverberation time can be inside the box bass as a dull or muddy in some cases.
What are the qualities of sound, we found that certain types tend to excel more than others. It is almost surprising, "great" music - ie, classic rock, new wave, oldies, jazz sounds - large, with good detail and high-end MID hot. Mellow melodies and downtempo electronic (Ray Fever, Salmonella Dub) are also represented by the sound of headphones. However, rap, pop and rock to old and too wild and rough and more prone to low final turbidity. But in general, the helmet ear pollution are an excellent value in terms of sound quality for the money. However, those who should be aware of the iPod Touch or Nano itself, the version with the microphone is not an appropriate choice for sound recording, because the metal case makes the helmet interference.

Kicker EB51 Stereo Earbuds Headphone Review

Kicker EB51 Stereo Earbuds The first thing to do please wait for the granting of a new MP3 player with all your favorite music. Once done, the best option, the supplied earphones neglected to replace. Of course, not everyone wants a lot of money for a new pair of headphones which, when set to stereo headphones headphones Kicker EB51 people of color has a suggested price of € 19.95 only fall, but they can find, even for a while "less online. The buds of this standard plastic are not comfortable as in most models are heard, or something like that the character of passive sound isolation, but EB51 is a small step in most outbreaks shopping terms of style and security. We're still not convinced that is worth the upgrade.
Kicker EB51 earphones are designed in a way that is typical headphones. The relatively small, round helmet hard plastic and soft, and only the outer ear only. This is a rubber ring around each listener gets some traction in the ears. And 'one size fits all design that really does not fit all. For us, EB51 Headphones almost certainly to our ears, and how the helmet turned out to be about an hour of wear to be comfortable. If you use more than that, the pressure may cause the cartilage hurt a bit. "
Frankly, when it was a helmet of this price, we have learned not to expect too much in terms of duration, and EB510 kicker stereo headphones are no exception. The ultra-thin cable is shared thinner than Y, and is reinforced at points of connection for headphones. However, we have the slider to reduce the confusion resulting from this incident know and appreciate that the connector housing has a little rubber "around more. The cable is 47 inches in all, and ends in nickel 3.5 mm plated straight plug.
What is the sound quality is nothing special, once again, expecting not very different from a bag lasts for about $ 20. That said, beating the EB51 headphones do not seem so bad and maybe a small step in most stores "Epidemics, although the difference was not so extraordinary, as with many games that we tested ear. In particular, the low EB51 the absence of a typical problem with ear plugs are the headphones. In addition, music in general seems pretty thin.
However, no background noise or distortion with clear sound, making it even worse. And the lack of sound insulation is a passive solution for those who need to hear about them. In fact, this headphone can add some "color correction and audio experience provides secure access to the bearings, but the noise alone is not sufficient that one reason for an update.

Urbanears Plattan headphones Review

urbanears-plattan-headphones There is nothing new, but the inclination of the crop of mobile phone manufacturers ahead "Fashion Forward" model has experienced a strong resurgence in recent times. Urbanears Newcomer offers several examples, with three rows of portable headphones designed to catch eyes and turn heads. One is the Platte, a model in the ear, which appears in a choice of 14 colors. Unfortunately, these headphones are not the clearest sound quality, but low pump and all 60 are relatively cheap.

 
In case you're wondering if it was above 14, an error is not - Platten Urbanears headphones are available in colors for every taste, including a salad of Nice colors, two shades of gray blue and three shades. Color Bridge padded fabric band varies from round ears, and also filling rigid. cushier this definitely could be like the headphones tend to have an unpleasant pressure in my ears after an hour of use. But Platten grinding look good in all cases, headphones, with its matte finish and metal coping.


Urbanears even if it does not contain much of all kinds - not exactly a surprise in this price range - the headphones are very portable Platten. Measuring only 2.5 cm in diameter and headset folds for easy transport. Scarf single cable 45 inches long fall from his left ear and ends in nickel-plated straight plug. The cable is impressively thick, not very likely to tangle and its two ends, which says a lot more potential for life. It also contains a module with a microphone and call button for use with mobile music to the iPhone and others, an interesting feature in this price range. (Urbanears Package, a dual-band could have an adapter for headphones for audio sources, the problem with three male band.)


Platten are headphones quality is more impressive - a surprising result, given the price. Clarity is the real loser. Music in general, it seems that the water or a wall - it is very boring. If she bites a crisp, detailed high end, look elsewhere. Similarly, a trend of mid-range is lost in the fog. On the positive side, there are plenty of bass, but it is muddy for most titles (Scissor Sisters terrible noise) during the test. In addition, the headphones go, according to our tests Walkman had no problem leading to the desired volume for less than half. If you listen to mostly hip-hop, and with low volume, the style is concerned, and the price, it might be appropriate. Otherwise, the headphones are not Platten.

Beats by Dr. Dre Solo Headphones from Monster

592496Beats by Dr. Dre Solo Headphones from Monster When the monsters that cross your toes in the market for headphones, not to interrupt the cable manufacturer to issue a set of headphones in the ignorant masses. In-ear ear to ear, you should adjust the difficulty of finding a pair of headphones Monster undeniable talent to your needs. The latest offering is the Beats by Dr. Dre solo, one for the ear model construction includes a discussion of control, the iPod is actually the language of luxury for a line and a microphone for the controls. The $ 200 is available to all low, we expect that the first two Dr. Dre headphones in a sleek and compact. Unfortunately, while waving the area below the ear is good, but also tends to obscure the entire space of sound.


The Beats headphones headphones tradition by Dr. Dre Monster other brands, the color options black and white. This set is very similar to the original model with headphones in its actual size, except the overall size of everything is much lower, as the concept of 'ear. Earphones that provide the usual b red logo in a small circular area style brushed chrome circular and measures only 2.2 cm in diameter. Swing a little "on the base unit for a comfortable fit and specific for the rest of" the ear. While the helmet comfortably we are only one or two hours, a little pressure unpleasant experience in the design, since we are after a few hours.


Since the band helmet that affects only a nice quality feel to them. The adjustable band of metal covered with a flexible plastic, opaque and has a small top padding and Dr. Dre logo installed outside. A unique detachable cable for the signature of the Beats "thin and red, in the left ear with a gold-plated straight plug. After 50 inches at the other end will mean enhanced L uber-connector, gold-plated your Audio files in the home in September. The cable seems to be especially resistant and will not be any clutter of cables and better defined in our book.


Beats is one of a couple of features that should be mentioned. The first is that control of talc, which refers to a small area of one module a few inches above the cable, which took over the microphone button and answer the call for use with music Mobile, was included. This button also functions as a control playback from your iPod or iPhone with a simple click to play or pause music, two clicks, while still a trace, and three in the back. The module also includes a volume rocker that seems to work only with these devices Apple. Finally, the time of helmet in a compact form for storage and transport, and the monsters are a case for such purposes as well.

While the original Dr. Dre Beats headphones more disappointed with us in the low range, putting things sometimes just take a whole other direction. In fact, the lower end can be quite overwhelming, at first mainly used. While pillows thumpiness after the headphones are "a little burnt, there are several tracks that suffer from turbidity, exhibited" Afghanistan Five Deez Skating Dan "just an example. So if you're used to hearing many beat-heavy electro, dance-pop, or even (as Scissor Sisters), will probably be disappointed with the audio here.

On the positive side, all the songs do not sound too broad. We have had great luck with the dance of age (Cobra Starship, 3OH! 3), clean, old punk (No Doubt), some rap (MC Solaar, 50 cents), and popular music (Dan Hicks). Offers by this title, beating his solos very clear definition of low and high end and good midrange. And yet, was beaten and lost: IT tends to muddy clay, for example, Journey and "Do not Stop Believing lack of" a clear answer. We want more than a helmet kind easy to predict, given the $ 200. The design is only sufficient for a conviction for certain, though.
