I have the ear Pöppel now for two weeks and am so far very pleased with it. I will now, however - as we read here for the first time dog is - losing in the sound characteristics of the listener, because first of all I am not a hi-fi expert and secondly, I can not distinguish so much clear from unclear levels, etc. anyway. So never mind that. The Pöppel transfer music and sounds and how can I find in absolutely satisfactorily. (There may be more than satisfactory, but I can not judge.) But what I can tell the following points:
- Attenuation of ambient noise. I use the EP300 for Archos Gmini XS202s MP3 Player. This French brand is in accordance with French law Lautstärkegedrosselt what was a nightmare with the supplied earphones. I had at normal ambient noise (such as city or train) to go to 80 to 90% power to some extent what mitzukriegen of the music. With the EP300 60 to 70% volume ranging from easy, because of the environment you get virtually nothing in common with. The seal parts so well that you can get a slight overpressure ear even, but more is not bad and can be remedied by a slight shaking at Höhrer quickly.
- Body sounds. A much discussed topic here. I must say that there are definitely sounds. Food, chew gum, sing, whistle or talk is absolutely not popular with these Pöppel. But I think this is less of a drawback of this special, but the in-ear principle generally. On the other hand, who is speaking, whistles, eating, singing, etc. already when he runs with these things around the city ... For me, a negligible penalty.
- Cable noise. Even this noise there is definitely. But this is just as it did with the body sounds a disadvantage of in-ear technology in general. The cable noise can be reduced or eliminated if one takes the freedom of movement of the cable, ie it can run under the jacket for example. Once it sits quietly namely, it does not create friction and therefore no stöhr noises more. How do these things, however, in sport (eg jogging) are, in addition I can not say anything.
- Carrying Case. Also sometimes a controversial issue among Rezensionisten. I myself has been the function of those little plastic jars and boar mystery that Höhrer remain on the player, finished. Unlike with the EP300. Here, although no case is there, but just the silicone plugs are real dust and Fusselfänger and could have a small housing need. Especially since it is already for example from Panasonic are elegant solutions that enclose only the plug itself, while the cable further remains free on the player.
- Processing. As far as I can tell, the parts are processed top. You make a very strong impression. The silver part is made of aluminum, not plastic! The connector is gold plated and thus produces no scratching noises. Five Stars.
- Comfort. For me some getting used to, because it's just a funny feeling so nen Pfröpfen in the ear to have. After a while you get used to it and then but they are actually very comfortable to wear. A real long-term test still missing like it, so far I have had but to suffer no pain or other symptoms. Were they once inserted correctly and the cable allowed a minimum of freedom of movement, then they sit Bombenfest and not slip even when turning the head.
Conclusion. My so far best bud. Above all, the good sound insulation and thus undisturbed sound of Höhrer be highlighted. Likewise, the small required from the player volume performance, as well as the one-A processing and, ultimately, the comparatively low price.
My recommendation therefore: safe to buy If you are interested,.
