A lot of money for headphones

"Quite a lot of money for headphones" that's what I thought before I tried the headphones. Before that I was really been of the opinion that one for 100 - already gets high-class headphone 150 euros, where there is nothing to complain on. Why am I now disagree, to now more:

Shipping and handling:
The first impressive detail on this headset was the packaging. Admittedly this is not even remotely critical to a product whose performance is the music playback, but we already expected at this price an appropriate appearance. The UE 900 is delivered in a small black box, to a common cover surrounds a product picture. Inside the boxes there is the two in-ear speakers, two audio cables (with a remote control and microphone for portable devices and one without), various silicones and some foam ear pads. In addition, the lid of the box an envelope, in which the guide and a brochure about the Ultimate Ears found row. Adequate detail is also the enclosed transport box can be transported safely by these high-quality headphones. However, the box has a glossy finish and is therefore prone to scratches and fingerprints. All the better that also beiligt a protective bags, in which also fits the box. So the use of the headphone mutated into a ceremony of unpacking what the premium quality of the headphones will do justice. I felt it every time as something special.
The actual speakers are from the first impression is relatively large, but not surprising when you consider that there are 4 drivers for bass, middle and treble inside. The build quality is impeccable and the lateral imprints UE emphasizes the origin of the headphones. Is really great that the cable is detachable and thus replaceable on Speaker himself. It is mostly the cables make after a certain time of use by breaking the speakers useless and so can be replaced without the cable. The cables themselves are also different from what one would expect from favorable representatives ago. They consist of twisted individual cables and are a few centimeters behind the jack for the Speaker of reinforced construction. This gain is used for the fixation of the headset, when the cable is guided over the ear. Logitech calls this though as memory wire, but you will have no choice but to adapt the fixation again, if you had stored the speaker. Most "adjusted" the Memory Wire nevertheless. The procedure of adjusting is very easy, however, to that later. The plug at the other end of the headphone cable is angled design, which is likely the most connectivity and wearing habits lead to good.

Comfort:
Even as regards the application of the headset, you have to rethink. Firstly, it requires some experiments to select the right ear pads, because only a perfect fit, there are also the perfect sound. On the other hand, the movable cable attachment to the Speaker himself and the leadership of the cable over the ears is unusual. The cable is fed from behind over her ears, introduced the speaker in the ear canal and then fixed the cable by slight train. It takes some practice, to the headphones also sits in the ear canal so that a) the ear canal is closed properly and b) also a tight fit is ensured. Incidentally not the cable used with the microphone and the control buttons, the cable will be merged at the back and thus additionally fixed. If one has the right to be earpads found, the actual wearing of the headset is even after prolonged use quite pleasant and in no way disturbing. If this is not the case with the use of silicone pads, you should try the foam pad, here arose in me an even better wearing comfort. Regarding the cable with remote control has to be said that the operating unit has been very widely applied on top of the cable, since it also includes the microphone. One must therefore operate almost blindly, which thanks to two existing keys is but trouble. The control by the way did not work with the existing Android phones in the household, but only the iPod.

Acoustic:
The main criterion of a headphone and as I said at the beginning, has me these headphones really opened my eyes. I really do not exaggerate or sound too enthusiastic, but music sounded with the headphones just different. Sonically the UE 900 can Details of the music showcase that I have not taken previously true even on my relative quality system.
This Logitech has avoided in this headphone, just too much to emphasize the bass, as I experienced it in various other headphones. The UE 900 sounds very balanced across all areas. The bass is clear and precise, without playing in the foreground, the middle seamlessly take up and hold their own even with bass-heavy passages and the ups promote details on days that are usually ignored in the music or perceives differently. An example of letzters include the basin of a drum set that listen for these headphones is when you really stood next to a drum. It is no matter what genre you choose from the headphones, and even if, for example because Bass lifts in electronic music in the equalizer to the stop, the headphones remain stable levels and still generates sound concise bass. I was certainly impressed by the truly balanced sound of the headphones, even if I set a slight Bass boost at most tracks.
As with other types of headphones even transfer the cable UE900 sounds to the ear and thus disturb the listening. The corrugated surface of the cable produced partially while also friction noises. In order to keep the whole thing in tolerable, should pay attention to a possible fixed cable guide, then let the noise on the road to a minimum. While jogging would likely to be disruptive influence but here, for the UE900 is not even made in the first place.
A word for "Noise Isolation". Unlike some other modern headphones, the noise cancellation works in the UE900 passive and not by means of a microphone and counter-sound. The passive method certainly has its limits, works extremely well in UE900, the foreclosure against noise with me better managed with the foam pads. Noise can perceive only very muted when switched music and when once running music, it is as good as non-accessible.

Conclusion:
It's unbelievable what Logitech here brings out from In Ear headphones. I had previously never thought that a purchase is worthwhile in this price range. The result is a very balanced sound, who knows how to impress with detail and naturalness. The UE900 master all genres of music without problems and also provide in the bass enough reserves to survive even the most extreme equalizer settings. I can recommend the UE 900 without hesitation, even if the price certainly does not make the buying decision easy.
