My New Favorite
on October 8, 2014
Posted by: KevinW
I was looking for something with some sound isolation that had more bass than the IE2 and more mids and highs than the B&W C5. These fit the bill perfectly. They extend just as low as the C5 but the bass isn't as overpowering so you can hear the mids and highs great. It's also got a really wide sound stage, almost surround sound like. When I first put these on the bass was really weak. Once I got a good seal the bass was strong and powerful but not overpowering. Also at first it seemed like the 60-120Hz region wasn't quite meshing right but after some burn-in that is no longer an issue and the bass has gotten stronger. Overall if you can get a good seal with these they are great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

TONS of bass

I've got Bose IE2, Bowers & Wilkins C5, and a bunch of other ones. I was looking for something with a bit more bass than the IE2 and something with more mids & highs than the C5. These win in both respects but the bass is too powerful for my liking. It extends lower than the IE2 but because the bass is so overpowering the mids and highs are overshadowed but they are still better than the C5. The bass is big and powerful but doesn't have quite the sub-bass quality of the C5. I love BestBuy's return policy - I ended up taking these back and picking up the Sony XBAH1 which are my new favorite earphones.

Get into the game with the Razer ManO'War headset. It has 2.4GHz wireless technology, letting you enjoy high-quality audio without wires, and a battery life of up to 14 hours of continuous game play on a single charge. The 7.1 surround sound of the Razer ManO'War headset immerses you in your gaming sessions, hearing every sound.

I think this headset is super great. It goes farther than I expected, but that's natural because of the wireless 2.4ghz. It stays crystal clear and just beeps a little bit when you're going too far from your little wifi dongle. I wish there was a mute button, but other than that, it's pretty awesome.
