Altec Lansing UHP336 Headphonews Review

Design and Construction
Altec Lansing UHP336The Altec Lansing UHP336 is very discreet, all-gray design. The cable is four meters long and has a gold connector directly to the end and ends in a Y-type to another. The cable is detachable speakers, at the end, so that the cable is damaged, it can be changed without the new headphones.

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

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

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


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

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


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

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

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


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

Altec Lansing BackBeat 903 Bluetooth headphones Review

Altec Lansing BackBeat 903 Bluetooth headphonesWe all want to get rid of the wires when it comes to music on the road, but the  Altec Lansing Backbeat 903 Bluetooth headphones how to do this? We have come to listen and talk to find out.


While these wireless headsets are inclined in the music lover in you, it is important to note that the headset and the phone manufacturer Altec Lansing Plantronics. As you can imagine much of this technology can be found here at Backbeat 903s.


Out of the box and the headphones and you get a simple USB charger (not micro mini). Headphones with a headset in the ear canal of silicon, and thus receive large units will depend on both ears. Glass is not liable to be happy. Both headsets have a thickness of about cable fits the back of the neck.


The headphones are very discreet and not only when it comes to design. On the right side has a button, Play / Pause, and then a multi-functional switch, the band, back and forth and jump the tracks, depending on how. In the accident, there is a call / end call button, so you can answer a call when you use wireless headsets for mobile phones without diving into a bag. All the buttons are easy to manage the transition is not surprisingly difficult to tackle.
The last element of the project is that the height of the ear of settlement, presumably for people with big ears (who would have thought).


Press "ON" button for the first time and was asked to pair with any Bluetooth device that is above and around. We opted for a BlackBerry Bold and within seconds we were up and running.


Provided that you have a device enabled with A2DP (stereo Bluetooth) and then was fine and dandy. Those who can not opt for a 'more expensive Backbeat 906, in conjunction with a key that can connect your MP3 player (iPod for example) through the headphone jack, so you can experience the magic there.


Once connected, you can make your heart desires, provided they do not deviate more than 10 meters (30 feet) away from the source device. Of course, most of the phone in your pocket or on the desktop, but it also means that if you have a Hi-Fi, Bluetooth, you can sit on the sofa and know you're in the area.


If connected to the mobile phone rings music stops, you get a warning beep and you can call. When you are finished with the music again. Who has spoken to the headset through loud and clear with a complaint that does not sound cool as a package (usually the headset is rubbish).


Battery life is already in 7 hours and up to now, so we managed to live up to that claim.


Disadvantages? Now there are some, especially in design and style of headphones: it is not just sexy. Yes, I am comfortable and do not refer to a term, but it will be like an extra from Star Wars Empire Strikes Back (The type of fog in the city, but not so difficult) or some Stargate.


If it is not style, is the design. We found that surround the cable uncomfortable when wearing a shirt, just because it is fairly low at the top of our series. Perhaps not using a T-shirt (with the children and all that) but there is something to consider if this is the kind of person you are.

Altec Lansing BackBeat Pro UHP606 Headphones Review

Altec Lansing is now made up of four headphone BACKBEAT: the classic 106, 206 Titanium, 326, and the most recent addition to the line, the pro UHP606. All are designed to provide you the ball good and professional "musician of the class relation of good quality for much less than the most expensive helmets such as Etymotic, monsters, Shure and promise the same thing. Although not a great success in this area, PrBackbattere or headphones are a good value in general.

Altec Lansing BackBeat Pro UHP606 Headphones Review 1

UnOur professionals are somewhat "different BACKBEAT brothers. First of all, and young son, while the cables seem to be in the fabric are covered with a layer of translucent plastic. Attention, because one of our complaints, with the mesh, the only other BACKBEAT helmet is that the document contains sounds when rubbed against her clothes. Pro 'cable alleviates this problem, the mioè long term, for the plastic might crack, above all, if you have headphones long timeoutdoors in the cold. However, the combination of cloth and plastic-child seems to be a step forward in terms of sustainability - always a plus.

BACKBEAT also elbow pro forma form, which is in a better time, and if you accidentally bang Veces many (or drops voessere audio). In addition, the package contains a simple neoprene case for the conservation of ions and the protection of earphque when not in use.

These are not the onlyen things that professionals have for them. With one of the four games, including silicon ear tips to find a warm and cozy, which allows you to block a lot of noise. (However, this criticism of the preferred foam ear tips are not included in this helmet.) These guys must be very strong press for the closure of the ears, if someone does not like the sensazione to hear a piece in the ear plug abonera are probably not them.

But enough about the design - to check and the law that the alleged musicians from the category of reference for the quality of their products Altec courtesy to say that it is a "balanced reinforcement" speaker. (See specifications, with a frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz, Chee is the norm.) Unfortunately, it is not only very professional Altec fulfillment of promises, but the people. Darund more clarity than the titanium-326s are lower, but they are very aggressive helmet. You can also say that I  your face - come to us (in other words, are the opposite of heat and balanced). It will be interesting for some users, but this experience was an analyst fatigue after applying about 25 minutes with underground work.

The reference to quality, and the Etymotic Hf5s Monstre turbines and experts are not in the same league. Of course, other helmet costs about $ 150, but that is where prices begin to fall into the category of musicians from the reference KlangqUALITY.

The long and short of Altec is that probably has promised more than a little "with the pros. But we still offer the palla hits very well and good in the rest of the line BACKBEAT. At about $ 80, not homerun, but a solid double.

All the hugging and pinching in the month of May seems dull, but the 903 f Backbeat one of the most lightweight and discreet stereo, we tested before. They do notsonmás or less invisible, like the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800, but at half the price, the difference is negligible. Moreover, unlike Sony Ericsson handset, the advice to the ear Backbeat deliberately designed to filter out ambient sound, making them safe for outdoor use and disposal of low-frequency rumble that can be heard when walking through oe headphones attached ear canal.

Precisely because they are not designedBackbeatspara you seal off your ears against the sounds of Altec Lansing does not mean less time spent on designing a better fit.

Although we are aware of every nuance of Backbeat cesign of 903, there are some elements that some people will not be happy.

But while the aurisellado special ear design, Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 offers a robust and more dramatic private Backbeat 903 is a better choice for users who prefer not to cut the wave sore.
