Style:
When Adidas Originals is a variant of the rather successful HD218, so a very slight closed headphones.
Adidas Originals has given this handset its own blue radiant touch. So even the upholstery and the cable in the typical blue are kept. The actual listeners are tightened and thus easier to transport.
Included is for a "sports bag" where you can stow the handset. This is really funny and lovingly designed. You can tell the product is that it was not simply labeled but that a lot of effort put into the design. Here are two traditional German companies have worked together and the result is impressive.
However, it must be a clear, that you notice with this handset ... even in Berlin, where everything is pretty much used).
Sound:
The design is ever good, but he is also a good headphones?
The headphones disappointed certainly not. In its price range, it offers a good sound and turns out to be an all-rounder if he did something difficult doing well with classical music.
How many Sennheiser models he is very well matched. Nothing is overemphasized. Unlike its larger brother, the HD238 he makes more pressure also due to the enclosed design. But precisely, however, the closed design also means that is so many details not quite accurate rübergebracht. That would be but in this class also really an exception. In his balance is certainly its strength, it makes listening fun with him. It is ideal for electronic, rock and pop. More complex genres not lie to him so, here would require more details in the picture. Nevertheless, a clear appreciation for iPhone / iPod. The sound the way I test always without the equalizer of the iPhone, which I personally think is awful. The files are compressed with 256 or 320.
A great weakness of these headphones but unfortunately with all Senn hoarse previously tested together: He does not play loud enough on iPhone. Especially with old tracks which is annoying. Even an increase in volume in iTunes to 100% is not much there. Here Sennheiser should definitely make improvements.
Comfort:
A clear advantage. The handset you hardly notice it sits very comfortably, the cable is out long enough and one-sided.
Ideal for prolonged use or on the road. The insulation is good despite the limited space, it is also in the noisy Berlin subway with his music largely alone.
Conclusion:
The Adidas Originals handset looks good, sounds good, is comfortable to wear and thus a stylish companion on the road. Due to its sonic qualities, he is more than just a fashion accessory but certainly just that too. A little more detail and volume, however, would be good for him. Priced he is just barely above the identical HD218 which is very fair, because you he is a much better design and an original and very well processed as pocket plus erhält.Zudem to designate in the league of design headphones quite as inexpensive. However, one gets the (also tested) Panasonic HTX-7 also a very good design handset, which is noisier and dynamic plays for the same price. Because of the size, however, this is less portable.
