First, each must be clear for what purpose he gets a pair of headphones. Quiet handset that brings relaxed ruminate lying of analytical sound and transparent middle on the couch there is nothing to clamp a tool for DJs on the head, which is designed insanely loud to drown out thumping bass cabinets. Then I hear myself exclusively electronic sound seemed the TMA-1, however, very interesting.
I was looking for a robust and stylish headset with neat depth and volume on iPod classic and mobile phone, the outside noise keeps completely in the street, at work, he should still be comfortable enough to be able to use them to listen 1-2 hours of music.
However, the outer shield is in my opinion very mediocre. You get a surprising amount of noise of the city with (phone ringing, loud chatter etc with what surprise for a DJ headphones. The even more astonishing that at the same time cushion despite rather small head circumference with enormous printing presses to me on the ears, which is pretty painful very soon.
The cushion loose headband is constructed so that it can be extremely twist, which DJs can pinch an ear between head and shoulder. Unintentional plan setting he should thus withstand without damage.
At the sound (after adequate settling time!) Not quite fulfilled the handset a second time my expectations. Positive I values the level stability, as even masochists would never dare to find out when it starts to distort. On mobile players he also plays excellent. It sounds enormously directly, as I have not heard before it, an incredible punch, extremely controlled, but without deep bass! He has bass without end, there really gets under your world, but by no means the lowest frequencies, but so far the fact that it felt until the middle ranges, whereby the sound acts strangely inflated. Drum & Bass deep bass sound orgies thus rather annoying throbbing and uninteresting.
At the same time strikingly reticent is the high range, so that the ears do not hurt themselves at loud listening. This, however, "normal" music with vocals seemed a bit lifeless. Voices or guitars lack the brilliance, which I personally do not really care that metalheads will interfere with you, however.
The TMA-1 is in my eyes an unemotional imaging transducer, the resist is quite technical music. Somehow still me doing the fun on the track, from wearing comfort can be no question, and it is expensive for Gebotete also why I want to forgive no more than three stars. So I stay still with my Philips Fidelio L1 / 00, which for the same money offers everything what is important to me!
PS: There is a more expensive option with iPhone control including Micro. This damn cable but you can not reorder how the manufacturer has assured me.
