Packing
Visually see the packaging really beautiful. However, if one tries to get the headset, you have a quick idea why Amazon has invented the Frustration-Free Packaging. Sennheiser goes exactly the opposite way. Rarely have I felt so struggled to unpack something. To make matters worse that Sennheiser has the blister still glued to the cardboard. The result of my efforts is a rather unsightly Wrap the rest of the garbage value. But you have to unpack only once yes, so that's now true but not enumerated flows really significant in my judgment a.
The fit in the ear
Right away perfectly. So how come they fit me perfectly in his ear. The enclosed two other sizes for in-ear padding I do not need and the pull-out function of the bracket also I do not need. The headphones will fit very well in a 10km run they were stuck properly, nothing wobbled or has slipped. Actually, up to this point full marks, but please note the next chapter.
The Sound
First I tested at home on the sofa headphones. And I was very surprised by the sound. Really great, both bass and treble are well reproduced. I have taken as my comparison more expensive Bose sound True-In Ear and only marginal differences out belongs. Sonically therefore really more than satisfactory.
Sports
Now comes the big BUT: When I move a little thing, the cable transmits clearly audible sounds dull. Any contact with the cable is transferred. As bad as I was still at germinate in-ear.
The whole leads me naturally to the fact that sport with the headphones really makes no joy. I'm so gone through a round of 10km and at every step a muffled noise I know that Sennheiser headphones even for indoor sports, for. Example fitness workout recommends thought but the sun only at the fairly good noise shielding the while running there is of course a certain danger. But the dull contact noises I naturally also with movements in buildings. The slightest touch of the cable is passed through a dull rumble to the ears ...
When I read the description of Sennheiser read that they gave university studies in order so exactly that should not happen, I am surprised but arg. Are my ears because so different? The fact that there are already many positive reviews and no one seems to have the problem surprised me.
Smartphone
With my Samsung Galaxy S5 control blends well. Volume up, volume, pause or answer. Everything easily. Even with my Nokia Lumia 730 works to control perfectly. There are no discernible differences from Samsung. Other devices are not available to me, however, to test.
Conclusion
I will like to use the headphones further: but not in motion. For me, making the ideal for vacation at the beach, since they are protected from the weather and a generally solid impression. The noise insulation is quite good. But I will never use in sporting activities.
Because sport is however emphasized in the product description, I can forgive only 3 star and strongly recommended before exercise to test the headset itself times.
