This will not be a technical review. In that time, I have gone through 3 or 4 pairs of somewhat expensive earbuds. It is December, and they are still in good condition and work perfectly. Then again, if you cared about technical specs in audio equipment, then you would not be looking at these headphones, anyway. Here is my review: I bought these headphones this May for my 5 year old. The sound on these headphones is fine, not great, not terrible, just fine, but the durability is amazing.
Only in track 9 did the bass demonstrate itself only because it wasn't "clouded" by the other frequencies. I also have Sony 100's (for mini headphones). Michael Hutchence the lead singer sounded a bit boxed and not as natural. Don't let me make you think that these are anywhere near as good as those more expensive headphones.
I can't imagine these reproducing sound below that without trailing off significantly. I'll try to update it with use. So it is possible that it takes a lot to drive them and once YOU get them to the level you want they COULD distort. I didn't test their power handling either.
These are no Sony 7506's mind you, but maybe imaging as good as Sennheiser's HD 280's without a deep of a bass or overall flat of a response. Lastly these aren't very sensitive and will probably eat up your batteries or test the small amplifier in whatever miniature device you plug them into. The Rachmaninov sounded good as the orchestral playing of the Symphonic Dances sometimes demonstrated the bass and midrange seperately. I listened to two recordings with these headphones. These Philips Headphones are the only other pair that I own. The treble was there also don't get me wrong.
To me the bass can be felt in the ear if the volume is right and the right material is playing, but I wonder how deep that actually is.100hz.80hz. One classical CD with Rachmaninov Symphonic Dances with Svetlanov on a Russian Label and INX's Shabooh Shoobah.
I am probably exaggerating a little to make a point. The midbass, midrange,and lower treble were all prominent above the extreme highs and lows.
The imaging is fine and probably better than most full size units. But then again these are mini headphones for less than $15.00.
The INXS sounded worse. The specs on these headphones say 18hz is the lower limit I wonder if that isn't the lower limit period and not the usual -3dB measurement.
This is my early review.
I have tinnitus and cannot use earbuds, which if you turn the wrong way.get imbedded in your ear canal.Downside.this activity eventually will destroy the cabling at the connection to the headset. I have been using these headphones for the past 8 years as I have a tendency to fall asleep listing to my mp3.currently a Zune. These are the flattest most comfortable headphones for this purpose.much more reasonable than specialty items.I also toss and turn and like the fact that they disengage on their own.wrap arounds would not work for me. Current phones have lasted almost 9 months.I am hoping there was a prod mod to improve the termination.Please do not ever take these out of production
very weak, doesnt cancel out any noice. sound is kind of quiet. but you get what you pay for.
They are not perfect, but if you want a very cheap, comfortable set of headphones these are very good. I love how light they are, and I can wear them for hours. The sounds quality is very decent.
