Advantages: Sound quality, 3D wing comfort, build quality. Disadvantages: Large for outside.. Could fall off if heavy headbanger
After looking up for the best headphones to use on my computer mainly to play the game Counter Strike: Source and reading many forums I decided on these.
Not only do these look great, but they offer THE BEST sound quality without using a external amp which can be expensive.
These are low impendence headphones and can be powered by almost anything including all MP3 players to the same volume as a standard in ear bud would allow.
The comfort of these things is great, they use AudioTechnica's 3D wing system which is amazing you can hardly feel these on your head. One problem is though if you like to move your head around a lot or you headbang to music they can become loose. But if you move the headphones back I've found that it stays on your head better almost to the point where it can't fall off.
I've got them on now ...
Advantages: Sound Quality, Noise-Cancelling, (Lack of - ) Weight, Nifty Design. Disadvantages: Occasional Mobile interference if you're not careful.
cancelling "quiet-point" feature is awesome. There is no other word for it. The difference in clarity and general extraneous sound is simply mind blowing. I would say that they effectively eliminate (at a rough guess) at least 90% of road noise in cars. The only negative point that I can think of is that, if you lay the input cable very close to a mobile phone then the active amplifier will pick up interference from the phone whenever a call is made or message sent/received. Having said that, this is easily solvable by simply moving the phone/cable.
Other than that they are simply faultless! ...
Advantages: great consistency Disadvantages: erm none really
Go Audio Made Up Stories
Go Audio have a great talent which they clearly show in this album, I personally am in love with their material.
Made Up Stories *****
This is a brilliant start to this album and obviously is the album title. This i would say is just a taster to this album because if you listen to it you would know that the tracks just keep getting better. The vocals in this track are brilliant and it has a simple but effective bass line which i like jamming along to.
So Quiet You Were ****
I'm only giving this a four because nearly every other track is a five atleast. It is a brilliant track which has amazing memorizable lyrics to it and it is worth taking the time to listen to.
Brake! Brake! *****
I love the rhythm and drum beat to this track they get your foot tapping or fingers ...
