Headphones > Vivanco Headphones

Hearing is believing!!

Advantages: fantastic tonal quality
Disadvantages: slightly uncomfortable ear pads, pricey

I was a bit apprehensive at spending this sort of money on a pair of headphones, especially since I hardly use them. All I can say is my fears were swept away as soon as I slipped those mildly uncomfortable ear pads on my bonce. The sound coming from those tiny speakers is unbelievable. So clear and detailed, and the bass is so taught and strong. Trust me, these are superb. Unless you live alone in the middle of the country in a detached house you ...
...I would thoroughly recommend these for their top quality sound and extraordinary detail. Now if only full size reasonably priced speakers sounded this good we'd all be laughing. Summary: I've had these for some time now, I haveto say that these are one set of amazing headphones! Bought them for £200. Used to listen with Sennheisser headphones but after listening to these for the first time, I was blown away by the sound reproduced. The Senns were ...

Review of Vivanco SR 80

HP 400

Advantages: design, price, sound isaolation, bass-line
Disadvantages: materials, a lot of plastic, no volume controller, not competely packable

...(exeption is leather head cover), have much less weight and look much cheaper- in design and materials. But still, compared to similar headphones from other companies, Philips still has pretty good sound for the price (mine cost only 20£), though it seems that Philips is cutting off on quality. ...

Review of Philips SBC-HP 400

Wow. ATH-ANC7s are difficult to put down.

Advantages: Sound Quality, Noise-Cancelling, (Lack of - ) Weight, Nifty Design.
Disadvantages: Occasional Mobile interference if you're not careful.

Wow. The only way I can describe using these headphones is to say that wearing them is like stepping into a very comfortable, almost entirely soundproof bubble, where you can sit back and relax in virtually any environment. I purchased these headphones mainly for using on the train to and from work, but I've ended up using them almost every time I listen to music/watch a film. As I mentioned above, they are extremely comfortable. The build quality ...
...cans feel soft, but durable. One thing worth mentioning here is the weight, or rather lack of weight! I have happily worn these headphones for hours (literally) without them feeling uncomfortable or heavy. When folded they are virtually un-noticeable in a bag - I carry mine with me everywhere! In fact I'm wearing them at the moment. As a tool for listening to music, I have yet to hear anything better whilst out and about in the real world. Sure, ...

Review of Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7

EP-630, Good Quality - Cheap Price

Advantages: Cheap and Brilliant Quality Sound
Disadvantages: Common problem with sound going in one of the earphones.

I bought these Creative EP-630 earphones after I had the Sony MDR-EX71SLB Fontopia earphones for about 2 years and was really impressed by them apart from the rubber on the wire. It felt very flimsy and cheap and if you rolled the cable in your fingers you could feel the wire moving about. When they were about 18 months old the rubber started breaking and exposed bare wire. These earphones were £26 when I bought them and for only 2 years worth I ...
...earphones, people were recommending the Creative EP-630 as a brilliant all rounder with great sound and good quality for a brilliant price. In the end I bought some for around £6-7, this price is available from a few online shops. I have now owned these earphones for over a year and there is no sign of breakage. The cable feels strong and if you roll it in your fingers it doesn't feel like it will break. The correct way to put these earphones into ...
