In my possession are among other things also the following models: Westone UM2, Westone W3, Shure SE530, Sony MDR-EX90, Sennheiser HD650, Sennheiser PX100 and the Koss Porta Pro. This list is not intended to limbers, but legiglich illustrate that I "really" possessed Compare Products and quite capable am a more than professional assessment to give.
To evaluate the fi 100
I hear at night before going to bed always plays and audio books. Since I sometimes quite like to change the position and I like to put on the page, ie to the ear, must be in Ears particularly small and convenient. Therefore I ordered the fi 100 because you should replace my shaky MDR-EX71.
So we come down to business, the sound: are in direct comparison to the competitors, the 100 fi the most honest, even if the sound comes across something loudnessmäßig. The fi 100 have a great bass response, with my Iriver H120 tested the bass was even a bit too violent. With normal MP3 players are there but no problems. Hip Hop, Drum n Bass, House and Friends of all electronic music is pleased the. The sound is very spatially and airy. The highs are accurate and not as intrusive as in the Sony MDR-EX71. The centers are fine, but a little bit in the background. Overall, the headphone is lots of fun and you get a great deal on offer for the money. It's amazing how many details resist giving the Ultimate. The Sony MDR-EX35 are against scrap and too dull. The Sony MDR-EX90 it does not hit, however. Sonically, the dwarf so full points and therefore gets 5 stars.
More Details: The Ultimate come factory with 3 different ear tips. The fi 100 sit comfortably and cause no pain even after hours. The efficiency is very high. This means you have to go down the volume knob a bit. However, this means that according to sources, a clear permanent intrinsic noise can be heard, although the music still goes on at all. Disturbing but it is only in very quiet passages.
The cables are the hammer. Toll processed and made really thick woven material that seems like fabric. The advantage is aware of a later date. I have not yet managed the cable, as usual to tangle, or knot. Great. But this seems to be an Achilles' heel. In motion transmitted nevertheless clear cable noise to the listener. The cables are arranged symmetrically absolutely what a holding apart between right and left complicates clear zumahl no markings or colors are attached. Only a small L and R in white on silver base reveals the stereo position. This is annoying when it's dark or to be quick. Here, Sony's nose have a clear lead. Here you can position the blind listener, because the cables are run asymmetrically and also behind the head.
Something negative a lot to me on a distinct odor when listening. The source was or is the Kunsstoffummantelung the earphones themselves. This simply stink penetrant, like you know it from cheap Chinese toys forth. This is especially annoying because the much more affordable cost make Ears here no problems. Well.
Conclusion: The Ultimate fi 100 are sonically top, but similar to other In Ears to recommend only limited, as you can with you do not jog and go for and exercise are only conditionally suitable, since then often fall out or the cable transmit noise. For someone who is looking for cheap In-Ear with top sound and is in a non-moving environment such as subway, train, couch or bed, you are but ideal. Since here but the sound is crucial there still full 5 stars.
