--Zum SHE 9800--
>> Packaging / Accessories:
The 9800 comes in a nice box with good "storage space" for users. Has the advantage that you do not return brings the usual cardboard Slaughter with it.
Included are three pairs of ear plugs of different sizes, the usual paperwork is also included. Furthermore, the user gets a chance to pack the 9800 in a chic bag. Further information on this in "processing".
>> Processing:
The earphone is very well made and fits therefore optically well in its price class. Metal and plastic look solid and not cheap. The cable is sent back admitted to headphones in a very flexible envelope that has to mean that both stable and flexible maintenance is given. Cable breaks are thus unlikely. The transition of this holder to the housing is fluid, so you always have the feeling that the listener sitting with flexible mount perfectly, no matter how the cable runs along the body.
The plugs for the inner ear are very well thought out: In the "supersonic corridor" they have hardened, outside but soft. This has felt the best compromise between comfort and the transfer of sound waves. The plugs are almost perfectly fixed in Übringen the handset, so that a possible transport in a pocket or similar may cause no loss of small silicone cones.
The cable is very flexible, which ensures good sound insulation in contact and light pull. However, it should be noted that in-ear technology of stethoscope effect never completely disappears.
>> Technology / sound (test with Samsung YP-P3; sound-technically on level of iPods, subjectively rather better):
SHE 9800 is distinguished by its special design. As a hybrid between regular handset and ear he intended to give both support and sound volume. The former works equally well, the soft plug I feel personally at all. I can Dennon tighten the cable that the handset from slipping out immediately without. The second option can be confirmed with a few limitations:
The 9800 to compensate for the much-discussed problem bass thanks to its shape. Many want decent booming, others say the bass is too much, there should be less please. It can be noted that a compromise has been received. Email to explain why:
Often the same handset the pressure difference in the membrane movement directed outwards from. The 9800 passes this back pressure inward on its "listener-part", past the plugs. Bass shares look very clean, not boomy and pleasantly low in this case. Especially the timbre deep male voices or the low frequency energy of guitar and piano are very well done.
However, notwithstanding, in order to come to speak to the limitations: The sound, which is described here only applies to the optimum coordination of the player to the receiver. So here the bass was raised by equalizer by 2dB, lowered heights above the 2 kHz to 1 dB. To reach the 9800 in this combination its best performance.
Concerning high levels of 9800 stands out particularly. The ears protectively, then do not come out the combination at maximum volume too much over the limit of health reasonable force. At the highest value of 980 sounds but still wonderfully clear and voluminous as soft sounds. Tip for sound-music listeners: All lowering from 1Khz again by 1dB, then it does not sting so .. at the eardrum
Because the YP-P3 offers neat storage, was here with MP3 (320kbit / s) tested with WMA (lossless) formats. Here, the 9800 stands well represents the difference between compressed and losslessly transmitted pieces of music so it is recommended for sound lovers (do not just want to spend more money on the listener as for the player) in any case, to hear WMA files where possible (eg.: CD copy via Media Player Converter).
A possible negative point is the sound insulation to the outside and inwards. The listeners do not act as earplugs, taking the environment at gringer volume marginally true. But this is to be considered subjective and therefore not influenced the rating. Even at high levels can listen on the train sitting next. However, one must not turn up vastly different in presence. The threshold for perceiving the listener from outside is acceptable highly settled.
Conclusion:
For his money the SHE9800 is an investment you will not regret. Who does not fit the plug, let him use the return function of Amazon but please, rather than complain. In "reviews" are not pimped usually also too tight underpants.
Sonically captivates the listener with high precision, deep bass, round warm mid-tones and a good high-frequency range. An agreement with the player using equalizer but is always recommended.
Personal Opinion:
Unfortunately, I had the honor to have already buy many headphones and can therefore rely on a certain experience. I have so far heard anything better. For the price, I think the benefits, both phonetically and in the maintenance and the optical appearance of the series more than adequate. I would buy it again.
