They are small enough to put in your pocket yet have big enough sound to blow you away. These E3C's do that, with a decent bass response, good mids, and good treble without... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324354018948 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:40:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324354018948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324353625732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - Canalphones are a good pick for your iPod or other portable device. They have good sound in a small package. But unfortunately, Ultimate Ears's super.fi 5 Pro does not have good sound and have way to thick of a sound. Too much bass, recessed mids, and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324353625732 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:34:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324353625732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324353298052?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - Canalphones are this in a nut shell -- good sound in a small size. I've tried some Shure models and have been impressed with theirs, but Ultimate Ears I'm not so. Especially this superfi.5EB model. The sound quality is absoultely horrible, overbassed,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324353298052 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:26:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324353298052?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324352839300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - Canalphones are the latest in hi-fi sound -- great sound quality in a small size. And that pretty much sums up the E2C by Shure in one sentence. Great sound quality in a small size. There's plenty of bass for me, the mids are completely flat, and the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324352839300 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:19:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324352839300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324352380548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - Canalphones have recently been the "new technology" in hi-fi sound. They are small so you don't have to carry around two speakers on a headband, and they still give hi-fi sound. These canalphones aren't too bad, but I think you can do better. They have... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324352380548 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:11:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324352380548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324297592452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - Sennheiser is a quality company that makes solid headphones. But unfortunately, they have one really bad line. The HD 4... line. This review would also include the HD410, 435, 465, and this one, the 485, as all have similar poor sound quality. The bass... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324297592452 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 21:47:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324297592452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324297264772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - Grado is a very good headphones company. As a matter of fact, some of their headphones go up to $500+, even names like Koss and Sennheiser don't have headphones above $300-400. Anyhow, these are the entry-level Grado headphones, and this price range is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324297264772 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 21:40:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324297264772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324296674948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - Beyerdynamic is a company much like Sennheiser, only Beyerdynamic headphones are higher priced, and this is one of their entry-level headphones, the DT231. Sound quality is very good for this price, maybe a bit bass-light for the picky, but very good... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324296674948 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 21:30:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324296674948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324296019588?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - The Koss Porta Pro is almost the trademark portable headphone from the company. And I can hear why, these have good sound quality and are very well-rounded. They do sound slightly bass heavy, much like its little cousin Sporta Pros, but have much more... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324296019588 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 21:18:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324296019588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324295757444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - Sennheiser is the king of audiophile headphones, most of the time. Unfortunately, that time does not appear with the EH150, a good looking and comfortable headphone with poor sound quality. The problem is that they are very, very warm, to the point where... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324295757444 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 21:09:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324295757444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324279570052?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - Koss is a company that excels in inexpensive headphones, most notably the UR21 or the Porta Pros. Unfortunately, UR29 is a whole different story. They do look cool, but their sound quality is actually horrid. They lack in bass tones, have "hilly" mids,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324279570052 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 21:01:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324279570052?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324279438980?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - Koss is a very well-known company in inexpensive headphones. Every once in awhile they'll dish out something bad like the awful UR29, but most of their headphones are good value, like the Sporta Pro. The sound quality isn't the best you'll find for this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324279438980 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 20:55:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324279438980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324278193796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - Sennheiser is a very well-respected company that makes audiophile qulity products. More leaning towards headphones. And it's no doubt the HD202 showcases not only the company's low end headphones but the low end headphones market in general. The bass and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324278193796 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 20:44:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324278193796?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324277669508?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - Sennheiser is a champ in audio products, especially headphones. Many seem to rave about the HD201. Unfortunately, I'd have to disagree with most, and say I was more impressed with the similar-priced HD202. Even if it costs three more bucks, the HD202 is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324277669508 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 20:37:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324277669508?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324276752004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - Sealed cans at the $20-$40 range usually sound pretty horrid. This is because they are often used with average speakers, and sealing them makes the sound very muddy. The Koss UR20 is not very amazing sounding, and there are better pairs for the price,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324276752004 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 20:26:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324276752004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324276162180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - Most of the time finding large headphones below even $50 is very hard to find. The HD202 by Sennheiser is a solid contender, and so are select pairs from Sony, but very spotty. Luckily, the Koss UR21 is one of those spots. Better than the similar-priced... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324276162180 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 20:16:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324276162180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324259909252?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - I could be possible my location is an odd-ball, since most people find this an amazing restaurant. El Pollo Loco is a Mexican owned fst food restaurant where their main ingredient is chicken. Much like KFC and Church's, neither of those two were I'm... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324259909252 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 20:11:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324259909252?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_321540034180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - These PX100s are designed for those who want a portable headphone that is comfortable, comes with a folding action and does not care to play music loudly. If you want more you may want to look elsewhere. The sound quality is poor for the asking price... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~321540034180 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 20:11:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_321540034180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_321538592388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author audio-freak - The Panasonic RPHS5 headphones take the modern design of earbuds yet slip on the traditional ear hook that makes them stay in place. That is what Panasonic claims for the RPHS5. And that's what they do. For the most part these would stay on my ears and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~321538592388 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 20:11:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_321538592388?linkin_id=8003929
