- Also a good in-ear earphones can and never will sound as good as a good headset. Point. Somewhere just needs to be closed a compromise between balanced, punchy sound and ultra compact design. Before buying you should have so well considered whether you really earphones or maybe a (compact) headphones on the go want.
- The sound of the earphone can be reasonably objectively evaluate only if you times All "earpads" has each tested a few days or even weeks, precisely because change the sound of an earphone depending on the position of the earphone in the ear dramatically. The best sound's the best matching ear pads.
I have struggled through to the end, the issue almost 100 for the Beats DNA. Actually, an opponent of the brand Monster Cable, who is better known for her successful design as for its exemplary sound (especially for musicians / DJs) (see Beats Solo), I allowed myself to finally convince them that it between different brands at home Ear range no miles wide differences are (from the monitor in-ears aside times).
I mainly listen to House, drum'n'bass, dubstep and now and then a little hip-hop. My "sound profile" accordingly looked like this: a lot, but defined bass and unobtrusive heights.
When I had found the best ear cushions for my ear, I've been amazed: for what raushauen those little things to clean, dry bass, is really impressive. The mids and highs come across very clean and obtrusive to really no point. All in all, very, very pleasant to listen to.
The processing of DNA's can actually nothing to be desired. The selected plastic looks robust and the small aluminum "blindness" are the things a valued look. The (incidentally, very practical) flat cable and the included carrying bag going absolutely fine.
The only problem that strikes me so far, is the relatively high weight of the earphones and cable. So the earphones are run at grade, constantly pulled down slightly and thus out of the ear out. Thus, the earphones slip during run often times in the ear and at the same time is not noticeable from the punchy bass. Maybe I'll even time to try the larger cushion.
Conclusion: Very well-made earphones that deliver impressive sound for its size. About the price can argue with certainty, because that it pays here neatly for the name, is no secret. Who is looking for a good sound, and yet are not too keen "readjust" the ear, perhaps should be more like ordinary headphones look (hint: Klipsch Image One!).
