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.
