Philips SHE7000 / 10 In-Ear Headphones with exchangeable caps (Electronics)

Customer Review

I own the SHE7000 since now about 3.5 months. Bought I had actually short for a ride, because I have lost my Sony and me in-ears have desired with more bass. In this regard, the earphones are overshot unfortunately the goal, but more on that later.
As a player, I use a Samsung Galaxy S2 on the go with the PowerAmp Player, on the PC I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium with very good sound. As a reference I use the AKG K-271 Pro II on the PC for about 120, very passable circumaural headphones with extremely neutral frequency response.

Processing [3/5]
====
The cables are ok, cable noises occur so on as well as not. The 3.5mm jack is angled and very compact, so far I have no complaints here. A sliding clip shortens the separation of the two capsules and allows largely verknotungsfreies winding, but the move could eventually wear out the cable insulation. The handset capsules are ok, at my SHE7000 is the end cap of metallic-chrome plastic has been executed, there is the surface has been partially peeled like cheap shower fittings, including comes transparent yellow plastic to light - ugly! After all, they still work and considering the price I will not complain now, however, this is only the state by 3.5 months when used especially on the road without sporting activities.

Comfort [4/5]
====
Unfortunately, the supplied pad for me as rather large man have failed quite large, the small fit just now, already the middle are unpleasantly large and generate strong pressure. For this they seal the ear canal from almost optimal, ambient noise can then hardly notice. The cable is a little too long, a Aufwickelmöglichkeit to adjust the cable as with Sony One looks in vain for the transport of the player in the pants / jacket pocket. The left earpiece is to feel blind by pins - virtually.

Sound [2/5]
====
In the most important discipline is unfortunately also the greatest weakness of the in-ear headphones, I can not understand why this has so far hardly bitched. Even considering the low price this handset are an insult to the ears. I tested the headphones with very different music (Metal, Rock, Pop, Classical, Soundtracks) and audio books.
The frequency response is very uneven, bass dominate all other sounds, which mainly rather than roar "kick" and sound according mushy. In contrast, just the important for guitar sounds and vocals / voice average frequency part drops off sharply, with peak heights in turn act unpleasantly pungent. I once looked at the frequency response with the program "RoomEQ" and a calibrated microphone closer, this confirmed my subjective impressions. This is, unfortunately, both the smartphone as well as the reference to the PC.
Due to the low impedance they must be generated from conventional connections very loud, the PC I had to turn down to 1-2%, so do not liquefy my eardrums.

Even with an equalizer or DSP, as exist in Poweramp player or various DSP apps on both Android phone and the PC, you can the SHE7000 their extreme Basslastigkeit not take.
I am far from being a freak and Audio I already expected at this price is not much, but this performance is inexcusable - set, six.

CONCLUSION [2/5]
====
All in all, I can only advise against the SHE7000 even the most price-conscious buyers. The underground sound disappointed even most modest contemporaries. The shelf life after 3.5 months can in the near future also do not expect much, even now there are clear signs of wear. Only the small amount of cable noise could convince one or the other athletes.

Pro:
+ Clip avoids nodes in the cable
+ Little cable noise
+ Price
+ Blind tactile left listeners

Neutral
o cable slightly long for mobile use
o low impedance => high volume (Caution hearing damage!)
o already middle ear pads too wide for me

Cons:
- Sound miserable! (S. Above)
- Wear on the average use
