Cream in the ears.

I satisfaisais a small pair of Logitech / Ultimate Ears 200 so far. Damage to the cord thereof following a kink made me reconsider the matter and consider the matter. They sounded correctly, anyway were not shocking though not extraordinary. They made up for their lack of finesse by a wide spectrum convincing. But the grinding noises ride made me replace the ear rubbers by models from Sony ITE.

Always in search of ITE that isolate and reproduce the most ready source of the signal and the eardrum, so I quêtais looking for successors of those good markets but unfulfilled headphones.

There were in the high range plethora of candidates and especially of candidates not hesitating to charge a high price for their hypothetical performance (often overturned by the forums or customers review) and for delusional rates can exceed 300.

Seeing this, I was relying on had the ear of the musicians who was already facing previous Ultimate Ears not without displeasure given the modest investment.

So how have better by paying reasonable amounts? After Shure, Sony high-end, Focal, Bowers & Wilkins, Jays and other competitors that have not been lunanimité, my mind sailed towards sound protectors manufacturers and Returns Etymotic scene.

So yes, the product is absolutely perfect in view of some critics, but it is in my opinion more a misunderstanding or misuse of the product from some users that real defects. Reliability is also another question that sadly reveal the time and care given to these nuggets of ears, but I will make sure to use the cover provided as soon as possible to store the move.

Knowing these reproaches and after hesitating on the lower MC5 model of the brand, much less music, I flip on me HF5 declared as successors references of the genre ER-4 and ER-6. Note that these models are available in kits phone with Mic for iPhone or Android smartphone for drug addicts (beware references MC2-MC3-HF2 HF3 before buying). This microphone can be used to return a portion of the surrounding sound to compensate for the extreme isolation of these headphones through Etymotic app for the 2 types of apparatus mentioned above.

I command and patient to receive the Grail? At the reception, the set is small but well equipped with 4 types of fittings adapted as ears varying morphologies among each other.

1 tip set default hurts to inserting recommended very deep and swivel the manufacturer's website, video neuneute in support. Convinced that another will be better, I pass the 2nd pus comfortable, but the sound is warm, especially at low which will prove that with a tip exactly adapted to the ear canal, like all intras elsewhere. I continue with the 3 fringes large model and there it sits securely in the ear and it insulates well (too?) From outside. It's confirmed, I have great esgourdes!

The sound is then revealed on all frequency ranges after the 2 atria adjusted equally. To have the heart net I end with the 4th foam that is comfortable, but more cottony in sound reproduction. I retain the large fringes.

The sound is detailed in all registers and reproduces hitherto unknown elements on the discs I listen recent months (even MP3 generous flow). This may be due to the excellent insulation and low measured but present with a firm foundation only when needed (that is to say, when are present in the mix and not to put to mask the absence of other sound reproduction registers).

It is a small revolution for my modest Sansa Clip + tweaked with the comprehensive software suite Rockbox. The multiband EQ is to forget and I turn off the early, just accentuating the bass and treble register as I often have the annoying habit.

The evolution can be compared to the passage of the SACD and CD amplification Class A to Class D in my living room to compare.

I did also want to leave my headphones as I write this column.

I just wonder how other manufacturers are to design and sell as many mediocre products in the rest of the market.

PS: Many users seem to complain of poor sound reproduction, because they certainly have not tried all the tips provided. Others lament the fall of his or malfunction after one year. If they had read the manual or the manufacturer had visited the site, they would have discovered that there are supplies on this helmet, called filters. These pieces of plastic microphones are designed to protect the membranes of cerumen lifts and can become clogged over time. A tool and a pair of replacement filters is provided. To last will have to purchase these accessories.

Well I leave you, I have music to listen to me!
