Sennheiser: Very balanced sound. No ohrenbetäumbender Bass (like him nowadays many headphones offer), what I find very positive, as we better also highs and mids perceives what is very pleasant especially in rock and pop music. The separation of instruments is terrific! I hear some things and nuances that I have never noticed so with the other headphones!
It is an extremely pleasant sound. I am absolutely testifies about. Only the distance on the SOL Republic in-ears is so enormous that it corresponds to the price level. The SOL offer my opinion of 40 the best sound I've ever heard so in the field to 60 and are thus by far the price \ performance winner. Clear the Sennheiser are processed fine in sound and better yet that never justifies the 60 difference in price !! Compared to the Skullcandy and certainly the Samsung headset the difference falls out already greater. The just do not come close to the level of the first two, which of course is also due to the price. The Samsung headset you can always immediately forget (An Apple customer: This is the Apple headset similar to also know the sound of the new Apple iPhone 5. The apple earbuds on, you can forget the same.).
Conclusion: If you want to make a real price \ performance bargain, should try out the SOL Republic Jax, which are in the price range unique and offer for 40 great sound for which you pay well and she loves doing this over 60 other manufacturers.
But who is really looking for the ausgewogendsten and is differentiated sound, does here with the Sennheiser nothing wrong. Only for 100 MSRP they are somewhat overpriced (but the price should fall over time). The last 2 in-ears I can thoroughly recommend it to people that sound is not very important, or who do not want to spend 40 (What I each put forth ans However, since the distinction is already enormous).
Sound: 1st place: Sennheiser. 2 .: SOL Republic. 3 .: Skullcandy. 4 .: Samsung \ Apple
Processing: 1st place: Sennheiser, 2 .: SOL Republic, 3 .: Apple, 4 .: Skullcandy, 5 .: Samsung
Value for money: 1st place: SOL Republic 2 .: 3 .: Samsung Sennheiser Skullcandy .: 4 5 .: Apple apple earbuds
