Customer Review: Athletic Audiophile's Assessment
Summary: 5 Stars
For all intents and purposes, I could consider myself somewhat of the audiophile type when it comes to enjoying music, and to a lesser extent, movies and video games. Now why would I be interested in cheap headphones like these when I have far more accurate, immersive, and expensive means of listening to music at my disposal? Obviously for the fact that I can't wear big cans over my ears while I head out for a run or hit the gym.
These headphones are great for active, strenuous workout purposes for several reasons.
They are cheap. This basically means that they are easy to initially get and if they get ruined en route to the gym or during a workout its not a big deal.
The fit - is really not all that comfortable, however they stay on your ears rather firmly. I never have to adjust them mid way through a run, which is something I can't say for other earbud type of headphones I have tried. They are also very lightweight along with the cord. I'd rather have a flimsy light cable jostling around while running than something heavier smacking against the side of my face.
Lower impedance of 16ohms. Basically this means that they manage a full and loud reproduction of sound when paired with a lower powered device that one would be likely to use while working out. I doubt anyone uses their iPod Touch while working out, and these headphones pair nicely with the smaller devices one would wear on say an armband or the like.
16hz -20khz frequency response. Definitely a nice plus to have headphones that at least nominally cover the spectrum of human hearing. The extreme high range gives these headphones surprising crispness and there is a definite bass presence as well - albeit nothing out of this world. The midrange is lacking but that is expected in the price range. The sound reproduction is surprisingly decent after all and is best suited for electronica, hip hop, techno, most newer pop music, and drum and bass type of music. Basically anything that relies heavily on boomy bass and strong transient attack.
My complaints really just focus on the cord length. 4ft is really too long for workout purposes. You could always tie it with cable ties to effectively shorten it, but overall this is a design fault in my opinion. People complaining about the comfort are just sissies or unclear as to how these headphones should be purposed. They are not for prolonged use on your next trip, and while working out I'm too focused on finishing that last quarter mile real strong while my legs pump lactic acid to notice the slight minimal tinge of discomfort in my ear canal.
Overall, I'd strongly recommend these. Thus far I have been been quite satisfied with these and plan to buy another pair if these fail or are misplaced. If you are realistic about the sound quality you will be getting for this price, then I doubt these headphones will disappoint. I would not be surprised if these are a best in price range sort of buy.
