Headphones, earphones news and discussion thread

I i didn't like the build quality of cowon em1. looks cheap and also doesn't looks like it can provide sufficient isolation.

I used Soundmagic ES 18 for about an ear. In one line you can pick it up eyes closed but from what I grasp better options exist..

no never dnt pick up those headphones they worked dine for me for 1-2 months then one ear piece got broken (unusual sound) and there is no existence of any warranty claim..........

Are sony's extra bass series of headphones worth buying? I am talking especially about their lower priced models like xb 400/450 etc which are actually pretty cheap. Do they provide good, balanced sound across all frequecies?

They are great for bass but will require more time for burning if you want it to perform well on overall scenario.

quit whining dude.

just because one piece was defective doesnt mean all of the pieces would be defective.

many FMs are using this earphone without any issues at all.

[Chaitanya]

Sound sonic is certainly great for the cost at which they can be bought.

If for going with a Gaming Headset is this good for a budget under 1.5k

Under 1.5k, IMO, Senheisser HD 202-II is the best .. Only Cons is no Microphone

Sony MDR-XB450 @ 1.5k

Are these good enough for I want crystal clarity and extra bass as well.

 

[Nerevarine]

Never used it, but if I were to compare HD 202-II to ES 18 , HD 202-II has slightly less volume but better treble than ES -18 .. Its not an upgrade over ES 18 but for someone looking for a full ear headphones, its good..
That sony headphone could be good, but I have no idea...also look at some higher end phillips models

PS: I got ES 18 for Rs 450 from ebay via coupon, the bestest best deal I have made :S

If you guy use the amplifier the difference with the sound will be unbelievable.

Guys I need some suggestion on good In-Ear phones in the range of 3-5k. Primary preference is great bass.

Still waiting.
