Sony MDR-E 818 LP Headphones (Electronics)

Customer Review

The following headphones in the price range of 10-20 I tested:
AKG K 312 P / AKG K 314 P (but identical with volume control)
Sony MDR-E 818 LP / MDR-E 829 V (but identical with volume control)
Sennheiser MX 500 (with volume control)
(The protective pad I have used in any headphones)

=========
ERGONOMICS
=========

1.AKG
Even if the AKG are easy and pleasant to the ear while one has a super sound and but without earache.
But it is by the loose fit is no problem when you laugh times or other grimaces cuts.
For me, the earphones do not fall out anyway, even if sometimes the cord is too short, but I'm so not even jogged ...
For me personally Auserd the fine metal mesh makes (instead of a plastic cover) a very pleasant and high-quality impression.

2.Sony
The Sony wears very well and feels light, but causes at least for me after a long time earache.
Presumably this is because because the headphones are not round but slightly oval shaped.
But I definitely have no "standard ears" because with me start almost all earphones to press after a short time.
For Sony, the sound is quieter and a lot of good bass goes away when the plugs sit relaxed.

3.Sennheiser
From Sennheiser I expect much of me.
But if the logo were not on it, I would estimate the value of headphones from the purely optical impression here rather on 5.
The blue color makes it not better undbedingt :-)
To wear the headset but are then actually quite good, but it followed, at least in my "non-standard ears" after a long time earache.
Even with the Sennheiser sound is much quieter and the bass goes away once the plugs sit loose!

========================
EQUIPMENT / PROCESSING
========================

1.AKG
The AKG is not only the longest but also the highest quality cables in my opinion.
The fact that the cable is quite stiff, you get pure no knots and times when they are tangled leaves of clutter dissolve much easier again!
The winding case I find very convenient as it is quick and easy to use and you can transport nodes the free Earphones not only,
but so also when pulling out of his pocket the stopper nowhere more may stick.
The volume control (only for the model K 314 P) is indeed very small, but this also falls not on and can easily be operated anyway.

2.Sony
The cheapest in the test has no winding case, but it makes for 10 euros a really good impression, even after more than one year, he looks like new!
The MDR-E 829 V is identical according to Sony, but with a volume control.

3.Sennheiser
Delivered in the same winding case and with the same volume control as the AKG (see above), but with slightly shorter cable.
The cable is auserdem "Standard" and knotted therefore also easier than in the AKG.

SOUND
=====

1.AKG
The great advantage of the AKG: you can hear the music always identical and well, no matter how "deep" pressing the cap ear.
The bass is not overly stressed, with appropriate equalizer setting but quite audible and warm.
For the AKG has very clear mids and highs that do not rattle so beautiful, it's really not here sonic details lost!
Some genres of sound tends perhaps to be slightly tinny but the overall picture is the best in this price range.
By the way, they are 16 Ohm relatively loud. If the player is designed for 32 Ohm headphones at loud Bassequenzen the power can go out the same times.

2.Sony
Really a very nice, pleasant and loud bass, even at neutral equalizer setting!
That's it then but already, the centers are großtenteils swallowed and the heights you have to tease out even with the equalizer.
Still my absolute recommendation for all who like to hear boom-boom music for 10 euro, none of the other brings even close this power in the bass range and so bad the rest of the sound is then also not again.

3.Sennheiser
Between the Sennheiser MX 500 and the AKG K 312/314 P I had really little longer Pre-listening until I could make a decision.
Sonically, the two are very similar, the Sennheiser has slightly less middle which sounds partly pleasant, but the strong presence heights tend easy to jangle and should not necessarily be raised additionally from the equalizer.
The bass holds also here under, must if necessary so also be raised with an equalizer, but then do the same as for AKG quite well.

=====
CONCLUSION
=====

Who favorable just want to hear boom-boom music is best advised with the Sony. One point I must deduct, however, because:
Sonically in a higher class and a good overall picture of confident AKG K 312/314 P: The cables, the design and processing are even slightly better managed than the Sennheiser MX 500th

Since all 3 tested listeners are quite good, I would recommend the personal favorites compare themselves.
But be careful: The local Eletrohändlern listeners are indeed to have cheaper than at Amazon,
but run for it under sanitary items and therefore can not often be exchanged!
