Audio Technica ATH IM03 Sound Quality.

Audio Technica ATH IM03 provide very pleased with the audio quality and comfort for me. I have no experience with Triple Balanced Armature drivers which have low or subwoofer, mid and high.

Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 Hi-End Earphones for audiophile.

Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 Hi-End Earphones

Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 is the best IEM Headphones

Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10, With three speakers in each side of the headphones, the audio filters. And components of a circuit to extract the high frequency sounds, middle and lower apart. So this headphones will provide you all the details, including the mood of the singer out to you. You may discover the voice you never know what it was before of your favorite songs.


Package of Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 will not change as fi5 which is now turned to the paper package. body, it is plump than all others (larger than the Shure SE535) because the driver must be packed down to 3 per side, which at first I have come, I have problems and troubles in wearing it enough. If you wear it often and feel familiar with it, it is not difficult anymore. Before Burn, I say that it terrible sound quality, it is not appropriate to the price of two hundred dollars. The only thing I can do is wait until it's a full hour to burn (about 300 hr.). I found time to go through every hour.


The sound of it was gradually changed each hour as well. It is headphones that have burned a lot of fun. After burning for 2-300 hours. I can not deny it, the sound quality is noticeably better than the original. I will explain below. Soundstage width, can distinguish the details of the instrument was most obvious in the family IEM I've ever heard. Also, hear the sound I had never heard of the other IEM such as the microphone picks up sound in the concert. Stretching frequency sound, especially the treble tone of voice that made ​​it resonate with charm. The highs, I could tell that this was a settler of this headphones.

Do not feel too screechy that will accelerate 'equalizer' or even accelerate up- the sound is more spread out but not screechy. The midrange, I could tell you that this is a weakness of this headphones. Due to the influence of the sound stage is wider, making it sound off in the middle tone 'Dark'. The advantage is that we can listen to music in a long time, without the pain, disadvantage is the sweet voice of a singer is not good. The Low, I think it's a bass for those who "do not like bass". Bass of Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 is very tight and the Deep bass is very good. But it will not be compressed into the ear. Bass, it goes as far ear, the listener does not feel Headache. Those who like bass of 'turbine' and would not like the TF10. Of course, it is ideal to listen to the sound of music like bossa that be soft, but has a lot of mass.

Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 is very good sound, You should try it yourself.

Overall: It has beautiful colors, luxurious and rare. In addition, it was also a pretty package, sturdy box. Preliminary hearing as compared to the E500, I think that Sound stage the TripleFi10 slightly better, is expected to be more comfortable listening than E500 but Comfortable to wear, I like the E500. Finally, it is featured the format of 3D sound is good. Sound will be spread around to the back of the head such as applause or sound to touch the microphone.

What makes ‘Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10′ the best sound quality, I think the iPod Classic, Sony x series or not, it is because these two are the mass density and not too sharp. In addition, if you listen to mp3 to the resolution 128 kbps, you will feel the pain. This is a sound file through compression or recorded is not good enough, which makes a lot of noise. The result is a swelling on vocals, bass swelling. It is considered very bad, when TF10 transmitted the sound quality of this is very bad out completely. So mp3 is so good it should be up to 192 kbps or should be. wav file. Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 its good for the music lover, rather than who wants a more honest or listen to the critic (you can go with sony XBA-4).

Review AKG N20 Unibody Aluminum In-Ear headphone.

AKG N20 In-Ear Headphone with 3-button compatibility for iOS and Android. 

AKG N20 In-Ear the Mid-End Headphone from AKG.

The first impression in AKG N20 in-ear is housing made of "Unibody Aluminum" , which has a production quality standards, are completed, lightweight and comfortable to wear. Cables are medium size, not too big or small, make handling easy, and tangle. Divided into two parts, that is poles apart from Jack to be covered with fine woven rope and another part is covered with synthetic material that provides flexibility and durability. If I remember right, it is similar to work on the flagship model as K3003i.

Sure AKG N20 in-ear comes with microphone, and more specifically is a cross between the Iphone and Android. Very easy, just chop the Selector at the controller. Moreover, it works as a full-function like answer the phone, play, pause or increase / decrease the volume (some Android models have a button to increase / decrease volume or possibly change the music).

AKG N20 in-ear headphone simply sounded more "high-end" than its price tag.

Sound style of AKG N20, Personality is the same gentleman, but it is a bad boy, too. It also provides details on all the sound very impressive and additives perfectly. When I try to listen, I will touch the flesh tones look thicker, shape and disproportionate voice. That was a clear clarity of tone, do not feel itchy ears.

Treble, from the first time it will be a little dark. When a 50-hour burn it, I recognize it as a fresh and vibrant sound better than the first. Sure, it is a style of akg. And when I burn it indefinitely until 100 hours, the sound is better than ever. And I was surprised; it was a deep bass which is very deep, powerful. Mid Bass; it is fully dynamic, impact and realistic. Until I feel the heavy and light of sound. Thus it is ideal for all types of music that are variety of colors, fun and emotion. The Fun that I mentioned, it is how to choose the eartips for headphones to get the sound we wanted. I use the stock medium tips and find the seal and sub-bass just right. It is a hard iem for me to describe as it is almost bass heavy and brightly transparent with a sweet non recessed mid

The AKG N20 in-ear good works for my iPad mini, Note 2 and my HTC One (m7) with its switch. The buttons are easy to use and easily identifiable. Very nice bonus and practical feature for me who uses both platforms.

Sennheiser HD201 Affordable and cost effective full-size headphones

Sennheiser HD201 is best budget hi-fi stereo headphones

Sennheiser HD201 Good cheap full-size headphones

Sennheiser HD201 headphone out style is brilliant, I was comfortable in every song, but if it is bass may have to surrender some other models, Suitable for sweet music. And when we put the Sennheiser HD201 to connect with Headphone Amplifier, the headphones can be made to sound better than ever. Especially in the mids and the bass is the rhythmic surge more, about 20%. If you are starting to use headphones or earphones for an affordable option for casual listening, Sennheiser HD201 is the model to be in the top of the option. Because the price of less than $30 budget will be comparable to other options difficult.

Sennheiser HD201 review

Sennheiser headphones brand is one of the best products in the market. If we mention the headphone 'Full Size' or cover ear, many people would first think of headphones, expensive, large, and heavy that suit for audiophile only. But if you try to study it seriously, and there are several models of headphones, many brands that are affordable and sound quality is not lost.

Sennheiser HD201 is one of the products to be called 'cost-saving', and the differences with the other Sennheiser headphones are very pretty. The box contains the Sennheiser HD201 headphones that came in the pack with foam Adapter 1/8 "-1 / 4" jack or from small 3.5mm to 6.35mm jack. The plus to this It is a normal jack, which is different to the expensive headphones that we will have a rotating screw. Jack is gold plated hollow. Cable lengths up to 3 meters, enough to sit and listen to the TV in the living room was comfortable.

Ear Muff is PU foam that is durable, flexible, not collapses easily and does not absorb sweat or bacteria accumulation. We can use a damp cloth to clean it. Lifetime is estimated to be two to three years if there is no sun or humidity. The next 'Ear Muff' with flannel lining layer of the particle filter. Rod headset is plastic ABS, we may say that 'HD201' does not contain any metal that is visible from the outside, except for a small nut only. Initial tests, we use 'CD AUDIO' to give better sound quality that MP3 player.

When we start new job with CD player, the sound that comes out is bright. Unlike other models of Sennheiser headphones to Dark, Bass is quite thin and other details that are not clear. Because the resistance is 24 Ohm, so it can be driven by portable players easily. When changing from a CD to MP3, it provides the same effect, which concluded that the sound is not 100%, we need to take some burn-in which we have set at 100 hours.

After burn-in, we can get all the sound quality has changed in a better way whether the exposed treble, midrange is clear, the bass more clearly, but less than the Sennheiser HD202. Overall, it was worth the price. When used with the MP3, the sound quality may not be good enough, even though the files with Bitrate to 192kbps already. Clear, resonate lost empirically obvious. It makes us more satisfied with the rhythm of the bass, midrange similar to retreat to the rear of the stage. These are comfortable and good sound quality. In case you are not thinking about paying over $100 for high tech headphones, these are a great, An excellent option for a average user.

Test HiFiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Full Size Reference Headphones.

HiFiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Dynamic response is clear without ambiguity.

HiFiMAN HE-6 is a headphones that has a very low sensitivity to most that unit driver was developed using a new 'gold' as a conductor to be plastered on the 'membrane' instead of the original version with an aluminum coating. Highlights of Planar Magnetic is the moving mass to low mass, making a 'bandwidth' is very wide, especially in the high frequency signal response was immediate and has less inertia than piston-type.

Addition, the shifting of the membrane or diaphragm are consistent throughout the whole record came out, so there is less distortion of the waveform. The advantage of gold is that it can be coated onto the membrane is very thin. The gold is a metal which resists oxidation better than other metals, making it lighter than the original membrane. The new version of the HiFiMAN headphones have a frequency response of 10Hz-60kHz than ever in the HE-5LE to 8Hz-65kHz in the HiFiMAN HE-6, the distortion can be reduced to it. In addition, unit driver using expensive materials like gold to 'moving mass' has been aerated.

HiFiMAN HE-6 headphones also switch to the OCC, single-crystal copper instead of copper OFC, has designed the layout to maximize the intensity of the magnetic field that allows for greater sensitivity, have better performance. Including improved structural design to wear and use it better. HiFiMAN HE-6 has a frequency response 8Hz-65kHz Impedance 50 Ohm Sensitivity 83.5 dB efficiency, weight 502 grams.

Equipment provided in the package contains the Leather storage box, OCC (single crystal copper) 4pin XLR cable length 2 meters, OCC XLR to 6.5mm headphone plug adapter 1 meter length, Leather earpad 1 pair attached to the headphones, and the Velour earpad as a backup device.

HiFiMAN HE-6 has a neutral balance of the sound, Almost no weaknesses!

The HiFiMAN said amplifier to drive the HE-6 headphones should have a greater capacity like HiFiMAN EF5 amp with 2 watts power per side. Or 'HiFiMAN EF6' powerful drive up to 5 watts per side, impedance 50 Ohm. This testing headphones, I have to use three brand headphone amp including Burson Soloist with the power of 4 watts, 16 ohms. Schiit LYR version with 6 watts RMS per side at 32 ohms. And the Mjolnir, which is a true balance amp. Power up to 8 W, 32 ohm (5 W at 50 ohms). Soloist with LYR is considered a very good amp. And a very strong performance that can drive very low sensitivity headphones as HiFiMAN HE-6 have no doubt.

Amp Burson Soloist, when used at high gain levels. It can be driven out of the profile HE-6 levels of volume. It can have a wide range of music. But may not be suitable at the time of the input signal like the players from the iPod directly. Because of the expansion of the amplifier may be insufficient to drive HE-6 out well. If you play with the amp Soloist, source output should be out at least 2 V RMS, such as the DAC Ayre QB-9 is considered to be sufficient for the application. The both brand Schiit headphone amplifiers seem to have a more comfortable driving the HiFiMAN HE-6.

The HE-6 headphones cable were made ​​with a removable or replaceable, you can detachable or can be converted to new cable. I will say that at first I worried that this heavy headphones. I can wear it for a long time or not. I was surprised that it was more comfortable than expected, you can adjust the width of the head, adjustable headband to top it up against the head enough, has good weight distribution, it is hardly a problem at all. Try and feel firmer than Audeze LCD2 I've used.  

HiFiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic offer good sound quality.

Who ever heard conventional dynamic headphones before, if you have to hear the good quality planar magnetic. We guarantee that you will be excited with dimension of sound airy and very comfortable headphones. I think the HE-6 is neutral balanced sound over headphones LCD2. I'm not trying to say that Audeze LCD2 sounds bad or not listening. If you choose this time, I think that HE-6 more interesting.

When we change the amp or the music indefinitely, this headphones will take you to visit in the world of music, which do not worry the sound of headphones will be. The frequency response is very wide and the large unit driver allows HE-6 is virtually no real weakness. It provides deep bass, clean sound. Mid-range and treble is vibrant transparent. The details are quite good, although the sound is very faint. And the sound is a beautiful, dynamic response clearly without ambiguity. This minute I saw that no one more interesting than 'HiFiMAN HE-6'

SONY MDR-1R over-ear headphones excellent sound quality.

Review SONY MDR-1R Deliver clear sound, eye-catching headphones.

SONY MDR-1R best performance studio headphones

SONY MDR-1R is a full size over ear headphone of Sony. These headphones Sony has also announced that it has joined with the Sony Music Entertainment. A headset is "Closed-back" design with High Definition Driver size 40 mm voice coil wire wrapped with copper OFC impedance 24 Ohm, sensitivity 105 dB / mW Maximum Power 1,500 mW. Important parts of the diaphragm made ​​of liquid crystal polymer film, which is very lightweight. Sony claims that it is pitched up to a level 80kHz. Wow ... this is Super Sonic Headphones.

He said that the low frequency down to a depth of up to 4Hz. That is unbelievable! but if Sony would dare to claim. We would have to say that it is not common. Furthermore, the details of the drivers that have contributed directly to the sound quality. Sony also intends to design MDR-1R is headphones that have the fewest weaknesses in applications such as 'silence joints' to the design of the joint 'headband' and 'earcup' is a silicone ring for mechanical parts, no excess noise to listen. More interesting is that these headphones design intended users to feel comfortable when worn with a compact but lightweight (Weighs only 240 grams) and not strangulation.

SONY MDR-1R is a full size over ear headphone with a relatively compact size. The headphone cable is detachable mini jack connector is 3.5mm. I see the shape of it, I must say that it looks beautiful and eye-catching, sleek and unique look different from headphones or even the majority of Sony headphones themselves. This version of the best headphones available in two colors, one is that you see in this review is mostly silver aluminum frame. Ear pad and light brown leather head band, which looks like a watch with a leather strap or car seat from Italy. Another is black, red lines are inserted at some point look sporty, sleek, very hot and appropriate for teens.

Sony MDR-1R Show Best Performance for me

The primary applications for the iPhone and iPod original accessories without the DAC or AMP. First used these headphones are the perfect tone for the fuller, thicker. Burns over 10 hours to allow the sound is clear and clean up.

Treble is clear, magnates, sparkling sound clearer. In terms of wear, the Sony MDR-1R over the SR60 and K619 Blue explicitly. Whether it is in terms of the sound or comfort in wearing it for a long time. Compare the sound of the same music at the same volume, MDR-1R over the sound out loud. I was surprised as well that it is larger than the headphones. They show that the driver easier.   Although it will work with portable devices is not a problem.

However, increasing AMP, DAC or DAC / AMP is involved with the MDR-1R sounds more clearly and I would advise you to do so. Especially with DAC / AMP generation PHA-1 of Sony. Added to the PHA-1 with Sony MDR-1R whether only the AMP or DAC and AMP, it makes this headphones a much more lively.

The grain is much more smooth. The sharp tone of voice is not sibilance excess mixture out. It is romantic enough and far from the drought. Makes sense to listen. And often it makes me secretly enchanted with the guitar sounds sweet and clear as well as the brilliant sound with percussion. Do not feel stressed as easy as opening the driver amplifier with built-in iPhone or iPad itself.

The first impression is that Sony used a good grade the material. Whether it is a piece of plastic, aluminum or other metals as well as leather. It is a very neat product. Assembly is tight and strong. Edge of the ear cup openings that Sony has said that the beat response control or ventilation to tune in to the sound of the headphones have a full, deeper and more firmly. It is designed for devices that are not necessarily big and rarely have a problem with the little player.

SONY MDR-1R is a over-ear headphone that sounds in the warm tones and not losing the little details. It can be connected to a mobile phone or player, when connected to AMP or DAC / AMP, it will offer a more complete sound. I guarantee that Sony MDR-1R headphones will not let you down.  

AKG K3003 best in-end inear headphone.

AKG K3003 True 3 ways the best quality Headphones

AKG K3003 is a high-quality in-ear headphone of the year 2012.

The AKG K3003 is the first in ear headphones from AKG who dare to come out full, full power and intention to create the name for it is the flagship. First AKG claiming that it is True 3 ways, this is a True that not a fake or deadpan claim that this is the third way. The strength of the housing (Stainless Steel), we must say that it is very durable; it can stay with you forever long. It is a hybrid headphone that is each side of the headphone driver is a dynamic one and the Balanced Armature driver is holding the two pieces together.

 BA greatest advantage is that it requires RMS power a little bit unlike dynamic dive that to use a little more power. BA, it is the filling in a small coil, intertwined with tiny magnets uttering a loud sound better than dynamic. They provide drivers 2 BA serves middle and treble sound because the advantages of BA are small but precise voice and very low distortion. Dynamic drivers so popular that it filled the bass sound due to the larger size and provide the bass that BA is unable to provide. 

The third harmonic power emitted music we listen to smooth it. It is a Hybrid system, which AKG confidence that it is the best of the best in time. Jack is gold plated Rose Gold or 'Pink Gold’, AKG is the importance of the material to be used, including a wired headset that is coated cloth oil well. Not decompose easily. AKG K3003 has no problem playing with the Player in any way. It can be played with an ordinary player, the small or the standard such as iPhone compatibility is very good. I took the AKG 3003 with many devices such as players from the 'Source' from the iMac through the line, good quality, and good quality power cord to the DAC Auido GD REF7.1 and amp, the Roc my favorite amp. This headphone has no problem playing with the device in any way.

AKG K3003 is very suitable for those hypercritical.

If you work as a sound engineer, these headphones are the most suitable for your work. It will tell you all the details of the instrument, as a sound stage or even audio files. When I was listening to it the first time, I was surprised by the sound stage of these headphones differ from typical headphones I've ever owned. Sound stage of AKG K3003, There is a piece of music that is close, so close you can touch it and pieces that are rolling out. It was placed farther than normal in-ear. I was listening to 'Rhythm Basket by Brent Lewis.

It very impressive, Sound of Percussion Drums that K3003 indicates the direction and the position very well. Echoing sound of the drum, drumhead, it has reflective details surfaced in the distance, there was a lot sound that we never heard before but to hear clearly from the AKG K3003. If you rate the details of the micro detail, I think AKG K3003 has the most points. Bass of 3003, it is the larger bass, more depth as a big round ball like Full-size headphones.

The midrange or the voice of the singer, It provides an open sound, light and elegant singing. It is headphones that sound be considered straightforward, indicating complete details. We wish to emphasize that you need to listen to it with a good quality file. It uncompromising listens to regular music files, or the lack of meticulous original. I do not regret the money paid to it, as opposed to the sound I heard and listened to, touched of AKG K3003, It was a great experience for me. Finally, do not believe what I said, because I am not a sound expert. The best thing is to try to listen to it.
