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.

Phiaton Primal PS 200 Headphone Review

Nothing says quality at first glance like the metal, and the use of many PS 200 The conductor cylindrical aluminum housing has been crushed - much on the outside, then tapered thin plastic, which is in the ear of the silicon tips. The exterior is a black piece of plastic in the form of a turbine eng. A small metal along the west side, where the cable. The whole package is very strong, and to some extent.

Despite the use of metal objects, the headphones are still relatively easy, and operates the cable resistance, without being too heavy. A plastic slider allows the cable to each ear splitting.


Phiaton offers three types of ear tips in PS-200: small, medium and large. All three use the same rounded shape hive. We've found that fit comfortably, with ambient noise seal very well, and felt relatively comfortable for a long time of listening. But our large, medium sized ears fit perfectly in small batches, we must ask whether listeners with small ears had some difficulty in finding the right format.


PS 200 Primal Phiaton During the event complained Phiaton Modern MS400 provides its headsets, including the case of PS 200 is one of the best in the industry. True to the series Primal style pocket format is enabled wrapped in black leather with false rigid sewing, and coated with black velvet. A strong magnet holds the lid closed higher authority, which opens to a block of plastic storage segmented. Delete the elements in the silicon ear tips, an airplane adapter, and headphones that are perfect in and then wrap around the outside, and also a notch to prevent fray. In short, these guys thought of everything. It may be the case in most, but to protect his $ 249 investment than any you've ever seen and use before.

 

Testing
Since each EarBud is basically like a giant cone (and has a clearly marked with an L or R), the PS 200 is easy to pop into your ears and sat down, without a lot of finagling. They sit very superficial in the ear compared to other species, so that they are comfortable, but not as reliable as some models of use "on the fly."


Unlike most low-end headphones, the PS 200 with a dual-driver, with the different drivers for different frequencies in the same manner as in a full-size speakers. In theory, so that a better response because every driver can more closely to a particular area.


The results show clearly at the top, which sounded Phiatons airy, transparent and comprehensive solution. Also conveniently stacked in comparison to other headsets and stellar quality over the ear headphones. With the PS-200, we heard the old songs they have not heard before, and by the clear voice on some issues, such as the singers were in the same room.


But the bass, not very bright, like the brightness of a number of other models, specifically to replace what is lost, often in the headset, such as the Klipsch Image S4. Even after playing with the equalizer, are very difficult, under PS 200 coax. It can not be outrageous by any means, but also for the music is about - and the price of these things - the 200 hp is not very difficult to drive.

Conclusion
Top Industrial Design, where a perfect fit and healthy all the recommended maximum PS-200. But how much high-end audio equipment, be aware that the price is definitely overshadowed strictly the quality of the sound. In addition, we are after Bowler, by a little more authority to the price. PS 200 to recommend to the style, but pointed out that the discerning music lovers have a few models in this price category first ruling on the PS-200.

Phiaton Moderna MS 400 Headphones Review

Phiaton Moderna MS 400 Headphones Do not go so far as to say that the copper is directly Phiaton style monster rhythm by Dre headphones a few months ago, but ultimately there are some similarities between the two - particularly the red accents. Phiaton wrapped their heads in the earpieces and headphones on a lot of silk, leather, plush, and each additional inch is drenched in red. It is too hard for the large deposits of coal outside the enclosed driver. Bright colors have destroyed all the designs, but the charm of this high-end material, but we must still admit that his form is very authentic, as in Phiatons: in a thick layer of epoxy resin, the material come to life in from three dimensions.


Like most studio-style headphones with adjustable straps with Phiatons Ratchet rotating U-shaped earpieces media, allowing them to be the head. Two other hinges portability: Turn your head 180 degrees, the less space, and rotate it 90 degrees to the inside to determine flat.The difficult side zipper case with the MS-400 is a nice touch, but we want the headset is easily folded into its borders. We felt like we are packing the suitcase designed for the use of a case. No clear, it takes some finagling to understand how the package, and also in the right position, it is hardly enough space to liquidate.


Just four meter cable felt good, the MS 400 in any location with an MP3 player, but stay at home is far below the comfortable, even with a pair of computer speakers with a built in headphones. Because it is clear that for home and portable, it would be prudent Phiaton an extension to Jay and his V-Jays headphones - especially given the price of $ 250. Fortunately, you will receive a ¼-inch mini-headphone adapter 3.5 mm to use the MS-400 with full-size stereo system (if not mind sitting feet away from your equipment rack).

Test and use
Delete "left" and "right" in each earcup brands (even the word!) For the implementation of Member States and the adaptation of a simple case of the 400 - and the slight angle of the jaw-word immediately say whether it is back. We had hoped to make a place cheaper than the quality of the skin on these things, but the old is also suitable, then we say that is soft as a baby in the background. Soft feathers. Enough to almost disappear in the head and ears. However, like most circumaural (ear closed) headphones, which tend to warm the ears with some "extended wear.

Phiaton Moderna MS 400 Headphones


Even if the upper part of the way, we were skeptical that these phones could actually disguised the aspirations of their prices, just a few minutes of listening to our questions to rest quickly.


E 'un po' di couple cans by the door, not with toys groped an equalizer only to elicit the sound, but seemed nice MS 400, out of the box. Bass is insistent and the freight powerful, driving rock songs, songs move ears ringing like floods flabbiness cheap imitators do. But there is a clear voice, strong and high enough to seem to float and hover in the air.


The MS400 also features the image: Each instrument seems to occupy its place in space. Click tambourines expected, Radiohead's In Rainbows sounded like a couple of meters, and long percussive instruments clanga quietly in the distance, Thom Yorke crooner in the middle of traffic fatalities and serious injuries rose from below. If you are ever a pair of headphones with eyes closed and the place is dead in the middle of the study or the phase in which the song was recorded, the Phiatons is it.

Conclusion
Fifty years of experience of the parent company Cresyn brightness through the 400 Member States. Are rare headphones, the sound as alluring good looks to every problem associated with the innovative style, breathtaking sound. You need for the privilege, but we feel only € 250, if a little high price for entry into the world of superlative audio unlock these doses. Of course, as any audiophile products, be aware that the law of diminishing returns, are in full force, and a pair of sub-$ 100 phones in your vicinity. One in the fields of transport and other accessories (like a headphone extension) is also much more than the price to justify, and that the little-known in line with the big ones. Phiaton not have won praise for implementation in the Hall of Fame with the desire of headphones Sennheiser, AKG and Grado, but is on the right track.

Phiaton PS 300NC

Phiaton PS 300NC Headphons When we last checked with Phiaton, this new competitor in the high market caps powerful and deep MS-400. While Dr. Dre headphones Monster which expire, and it also seems a little 'like them. With its latest model, the PS 300NC ($ 299 list) takes Phiaton icon noise suppression of Bose, the Phiaton PS 300NC QuietComfort 3. In addition to cost less than the QC3, PS managed respectable 300NC Noise Cancellation and strong (if not brilliant) performance audio, and comes with lots of accessories. However, prices at about $ 300, our Editors' Choice, Creative Aurvana X-Fi Noise Canceling Headphones, is even higher.

Light (5 ounces) PS 300NC is a po 'like the QC3. Both couples are supra-aural, meaning that the rest of the ear instead of blocking and any sealing. The cans are black metallic platinum / gold (as opposed to the QC3, whose coffers are mainly silver) and black on the outside of the house is real leather. The pads look almost identical to the impression that QC3 and plush, but the QC3 is a lot more comfortable and lighter in the head for long periods of time. A reversing switch is in the accident, and is easy to activate and deactivate the ignition. A surprising choice of design: Bass Boost switch on each ear. It 'good to be able to add or subtract the low end, but because two switches? Anyone can grow under the left ear, but to give up right?

Phiaton PS 300NC Headphons
With PS 300NC has a lot of accessories: a second rechargeable battery, adapter quarter inch helmet, detachable audio cable terminating in a 3.5-mm, various power supplies, a charger base with a USB cable and a dual plug adapter for aircraft. All this together with the helmet in the shape of a sturdy black seems that comes with the QC3.

PS 300NC and QC3 is doing a good job of noise suppression, although in different ways. Each pair of large blocks of frequency bands, but in different ranges. Sometimes the QC3 might seem as if the introduction of a number of very thin high-frequency whistle, however, the PS 300NC cut a little 'less ambient noise outside, but does not hiss. The Aurvana X-Fi sounds like a couple of Bose, a little 'less hiss.


You can use the PS 300NC when the noise cancellation does not become a feature of Bose has not yet adopted. With the removal of the noise off, the lower switches do a good job to compensate for the driver is activated and an increase in power with low noise, when the cancellation is active, but the effect is more subtle. Paradoxically, the best on a headset without noise cancellation, which should not be the case: When the noise cancellation is activated, the depth of the bass tends to distort at high volume.


The PS provides 300NC respectable bass and clarity in the midrange and above. But it can not handle lower deeper in large volumes and, unfortunately, you may want to listen at high volume, because these headphones are quieter than others in general. The distortion is not unbearable, but marked, it is necessary to reduce the volume a little 'when you hear. While the QC3 does not suffer from these problems of distortion or volume, the frequency response and nasal sounds metallic Phiaton wins pair in this account. However, the superior sound, a little 'nice balanced Creative Aurvana X-Fi won two couples.


If your priority is comfort, it's easy to choose the Phiaton PS 300NC on Creative Aurvana X-Fi is the best comparable Phiaton and noise reduction to offer the same price ($ 300), but the pair of Creative offers a better quality sound in general. (The two pairs of its good enough for the  350 Bose QuietComfort 3 seem overpriced.) Any person wishing to obtain a true audio excellence, however, waive the cancellation of noise or be prepared to drop about $ 450 from Sennheiser PXC 450 NoiseGard.

Phiaton PS 320 Primal Series headphones

With the number of people who listen to music on the street, it is not surprising that the laptop headphone shelves. For those looking for extreme portability, is the obvious choice, headphones, but some users do not keep what is happening in their ears. For them, there are compact models like the ear Phiaton Primal Series PS 320 headset, a light that can be used for long periods of time without embarrassment. The $ 199 headphones ETS is a good choice for travelers undHunde travel in search of an agenative to standard headphones, but it is relatively easy on the features.

  Phiaton PS 320 Primal Series headphones

Phiaton The PS 320 is a helmet, similar to a Bose in-ear headphone design. Two small oval-shaped pillows measure 2.7 inch by 2.2 inches wide, is designed for use in the ear cupping. Like the Bose, it falls into the headphone cable (left), although in the case of PS-320, the cable is not - is not removable. This is a slight influence, such as detachable cables are easier to ersetzen in the event of a break (and less messy to shrink), but not for breaking an agreement.

The style of 320 hp Phiaton helmet varies slightly from Bose, but we are interested in her. The emphasis that the bright ring gunmetal auricles are cut, not money, eal outside the scope of the helmet is a black leather. This is a high-end, as a rule, and we are not diembarazzati to carry. Thanks to the padded, adjustable and super comfortable Pad, the 320 PS Bose phones rivals together comfortably. Of course, as with any model in your ear, you want to be aware that this model can overheat the ears after a while, but at least you will not have to stick something in them.

When it comes to supplements Operativions and Phiaton has worked hard to PS-320. The headphones fold flat for compact storage and a thick leather case with two Departments tque package. In addition, there is not much to  say that something "disappointing all the accessories from PS Phiaton NC 300 headphones. For 100 U.S. dollars more, you can use the function of the noise, low pulse options cable line with a mute button, a rigid carriage, an airplane adapter, quarter-inch adapter and a new battery with the charger for more cards. In comparison, 320 hp is not too ch and the good of a value.

However, the 320 hp headphones offer a very clear and detailed audio -Play and in general, the sound quality on par with what we expect from models in this price class. The Poinconvénient only possible for some listeners is that the CEouteurs error on the side of the bright, clear reproduction of sound, ie the lowest is not enough, in some cases. For example, Ice Cube's "Good Morning" sounds relatively low, obwohlnicht missing, for example. The Hip-Hop quererpara can telephones. Surprisingly, Consumer Electronics, whe Skeewiff "Coming Home Baby" résultatsrésultats better, perhaps because the soil is less progress on this path. However, we tend to the PS are not the best solution for Music and Dance 320th Lovers of classical music, is very satisfied with the clarity of sound.

In the final analysis, the 320 hp Phiaton helmet is not a man (or Every Woman) model, but is suitable for users who prefer a super-bright CRISP audio response. I bis also very easy to use, but we want a few extra $ 199 offered for the price.
