fry Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Fit should be your first concern especially if you're looking for earphones or IEMs (in-ear monitors). It's more of an issue with IEMs because if you can't get a good fit and seal, they won't sound their best. Sadly there's no such thing as a "standard" ear. For the longest time I've avoided earphones because I know they never fit in my ears properly without pain. The new IEMs are making me think differently though. I managed to fit demo units of the Shure E2c and E4c and they fit me very well! They're VERY expensive though...the cheapest of the line (E2c) costs PhP4500, and the price climbs to a peak of PhP14500 You're right. A lot of people complain of weak bass when their problem really is that they're not wearing the headphones properly. The rubber, foam, or whateveritis must have a tight seal around the ear canal. Btw, they let you fit IEMs in the store? Gross. Quote Link to comment
Gideon Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 "One issue that's especially important for portable headphones is impedance. The higher the impedance, the more electrical energy is required to drive the headphones' tiny speakers. Because of the limited power available from a portable player, headphones for portable use should have a maximum impedance of 64 ohms — the lower the impedance, the more efficient the 'phones, and the more volume you'll get out of them." - crutchfield.com Thanks Dude!

boogernights Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 any1 knows kung nu brand may bluetooth headfones that can be used both for celfone and ipod or any audio device w/ 3.5 mm jack? i use the motorola ht820 (requires a2dp), which isnt at all bad (has enough oomph but not enough to please an audiophile), has a 3.5mm cord for the times when you just have to have it wired or when your device doesnt support a2dp, and has rather good telephony. it doesnt have a bluetooth dongle so you cant just jack it up to any ipod or zen unless you have the good luck of finding the optional motorola dongle. motorola also has the s9, which, even though having an in-ear form factor, provides a somewhat better audio output than the ht820, even in terms of bass. the ht820 will set you back 2.5k clams and the s9 costs about 4.5k clams. does harman kardon sell ear/headphones too? yes they do. in fact, im looking for some, the bluetooth variety of course. if im not mistaken, the JBL reference 610 with BT (which looks like a pair of jbl creature II satellites glued to a neck band) is manufactured by HK. ** question: if anyone chances upon these bluetooth stereo headsets while at the mall, please PM me where you saw them and how much. would really appreciate the info. am looking to upgrade from my motorolas and want some definite punch.

boogernights Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hows tha sound of a BT headgear compared to a wired one? Any noticeable audio loss? my ht820 isnt bad, but i'm afraid it might crack up when i decide to try and play lossless format audio. there is some notable hissing when treble extends to the upper notes (mostly due to packet loss). The S9 can probably take lossless audio format. regarding high-end BT gear, the sony and plantronics in my wishlist are noted to be comparable to high-end wired sets. none that i have tried employ active noise-cancellation, which would betray the fact that i have really tried too few pairs.
