Look and feel
Product packaging is laconic, headphones are in the box, throw away its not worth it, he can quickly pull up the cable and tidy Thing in my pocket when it is not necessary. There is one etui, it neatly stacked silicon tips, in addition, you can fasten this box on headphones, protecting them from the damp, moss, dust and so on. Headphones are made of smooth white plastic, the cable light gray over the entire length, in the slot it in white. No asymmetry, all in the spirit of the company. Alas, they do not hang around his neck, if only to throw a t-shirt, jacket and so on. Interesting tips, inside they have a sort of tag, depending on the size of this S (small), M (medium) or Large (ogromennye) - small, medium, large. Pleasing solution that allows you to accurately choose a pair of headphones and a combined size of attachments.
Together with the MacBook
Along with the new "cast" of notebooks, this headset is very well find a common language, the only thing I can see - it is not fully inserted into the headphone jack, a couple of millimeters does not reach the end. On playback, the work is not affected. I remember a recent Apple enthusiasts in the community is actively discussing the lack of new laptops, namely the 3,5 mm jack on the left side. So, there are some oddities here. Let's say you accidentally yank the cord, and headphones slightly out of the nest, the sound immediately goes to the speakers.You insert the connector into place, but the sound is still in the headphones do not go. Need to remove them and insert again. And the best way to put music on pause, and then press Play again. And this is the only negative thing that could be found. But the positives are many. Run iTunes, click on the remote control button, the music starts. Powered rewind and fast forward, Play, Pause, microphone with headset can chat in Skype and other similar programs. This thing works with QuickTime, of course, volume is there. The sound quality is good (for the headset by Apple), music stands at half-volume notebook, or becomes ill. Looking ahead, we note that it is a laptop unleashes the full potential of these headphones, I listened to them a lot of different music ranging from classical to weird songs from DJ Krush and other performers. Sound easy, well-developed, when compared with the old In-ear, they share the abyss, here a completely different experience ... In general, the solid molecules.
However, it has already finished writing this paragraph, I decided to delve in detail, sat in a quiet dark room and listened to music, turn on Shuffle. The result was this: after all, these headphones are interesting. No, no, I'm not in any degree do not justify the money spent to defend not very good thing. These are good headphones, but incredibly naughty. Listen album SCSI-9 (DJ Kubikoff), and the right grace. Although he has a completely normal quality, and has been "ripped off" from the disk. Listen to downloaded from Recordings `and mixes - disgusting. Given that all of the same music I heard on the Sony A-726, other players (including Cowon S9), to understand where the truth and blatant lie, I can easily. And so, the findings here may be as follows: before buying, I would highly recommend you get a consultant raspatronit packaging and test headphones for a number of tracks that are in your iPhone, iPod or MacBook. It is desirable to try on different styles. I honestly feel sorry about the amount spent, but on the other hand, will try next. While it turns out that more than sixty percent of the tracks on my laptop to listen to is not particularly pleasant. Terrible sound electronics, but then the same cubes - also electronics, but plays great ... In general, it is strange it all.
Together with the iPhone
I really do not know where the rumor went about that with the iPhone 3G these headphones do not work, it is not. I is the latest firmware for the device, you can make a call by pressing a button or reject it, the microphone works and works by feel, much better than previous solutions. For example, you can not move up closer to his mouth, the interlocutor, and so you can hear perfectly.Works normally and everything else control, except for volume control, then why not. About the sound quality I can say exactly the same as in the work with your MacBook. Equalizers are not saved.
Together with the iPod Classic
Since generally these headphones are designed for players, it was very curious to try them out with the coolest "iPods" in the world.Oh, that's me - the fact is the steep Touch with the maximum amount of memory on board ... But when it comes to traditional players, then Claccis, in my opinion, ahead of the rest - not least because a lot of memory. I did not fill it completely, the Gulf of eighty gigabytes of music, himself said "stop." Before you connect the headphones to the iPod, is to connect it to your computer and check the firmware version, the latter is just support these headphones. After checking safely insert them into your player and listen to music. And, you can record voice memos or use your iPod as a voice recorder, you only need to keep the microphone close to the one you're writing. Solution is not the best, but it works. The recording quality can be regulated, in principle, very sensitive microphone, for those who are used to write down their thoughts on the run, the solution is even enjoyable. For example, I often do so, and then, over time, it is nice sometimes to refresh your memory convulsive record - to buy bread, pay for an apartment, quarreled with N and so on. As for the remote control and adjust the volume - everything works, the mechanism described above.
Together with other devices
Outcome fit in a couple of suggestions: headphones do not work with any Blackberry Bold, nor SE XPERIA X1. First they just can not see, the second does not insert earphones to the end. Accordingly, if you expect to buy this model and use it with players and phones are not from Apple, you do not need.Conclusions
About the price I said above, about the compatibility and work too. Well, the owners of technology from Apple, on the one hand, received yet another addition to the corporate style, with an extremely multifunctional. With the iPhone and MacBook, this thing works like a headset, along with the iPod Classic and Nano, it allows you to use the recorder, if we talk about the use, without affecting the sound, then all sensibly, clearly and correctly. No need to pull the little hands to the keyboard to stop playback or make loud, already for this new headset is worth loving.But here's what the sound, then, as I wrote above, the solid whim. For movies that thing is very good, but that's to find good music, her only lowly consumers who filed the new "stuff" from Apple, and then the deluge. In this connection, I can not safely recommend it for purchase, and laptop users generally recommended to spend the same four-odd thousand for a license iWork, especially if there is a lot of work with the "office" all the time. By the way, let's talk about it this week.
PS Especially did not dwell on the various technical issues, designs, deciding to leave it to the end. Thus, the characteristics of the model:
- Frequency Response: 5 Hz to 20 kHz
- Impedance (at 100 Hz): 23 ohms
- Sensitivity (100 Hz): 109 dB volume / mW
- Drivers: Custom set of bilateral structures (bass speaker and tweeter in each earpiece)
