Customer Review

I had long the Cal 1 and have now the Cal 2 (and some other headphones) and rate the headphones as follows:

positive:

- Bigger stage and better instrument separation as the Cal 1; also bit more detail; better quality bass (a bit more accurate and has more punch) and also in terms of quantity carries the CAL bit more on (could audiophiles, the strong value a neutral as possible playback slightly be too much); being really really deep bass does not go down as the CAL1

- At the very beginning, the differences for CAL1 fall not so much on but the longer you listen, the more you can hear them out

- The most comfortable headphones this size I've ever had on his head: you do not feel the weight; (!) The ear cushions are ultra comfortable; Heat buildup during extended wear längrem remains limited

- As a headset for my Android smartphone super, good micro

neutral:

- Similar characteristic sound as in CAL1 (Fostex biocellulose membrane), can be described very difficult

- Acts not very stable and I neither during CAL1 had 2 problems with defects

negative:

- Mediocre insulation, you can hear sometimes too much of the outside noise; as the headset is advertised as a model among other things for unterwges should make improvements here Creative

Because of the isolation I subtract a star. Would not that be, the CAL 2 would be mainly due to the comfort an absolute top KH go.

Tested on: Xonar Essence II, Cowon Z2, Motorola Moto E
