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

iDont think they should be falling apart!?

Advantages: Very very good sound quality
Disadvantages: After constant use, they stop working

...I have used the included apple earphones that you get with the iPod for listening to my music on the computer and on the iPod. Out of all the earphones I have used, these are probably the best for sound quality. They have good bass and treble and all songs sound very, very clear. I liked the style of the earphones, with them being white, and they are incredibly comfy to use. They fitted in my ears very well, and even if i used them when i was walking ...
...anyyyyyy mp3 player or ipod or headphone port (apart from those is quite a few phones, where the port is smaller) Although... after about 8 months of constant use, i noticed one of the earphones starting to cut out or get quieter when i tilted or moved my head. It was also starting to fall apart with the rubber around the earphone. I decided to bin that set of earphones but did not want to pay 20 pound for some new ones. I got a new iPod for christmas ...

Review of Apple iPod Earphones

Sony's hook

Advantages: neat and tidy with good sound production
Disadvantages: the retractor can sometimes be annoyingly in the way

...The Manufacturer Sony was founded by Akio Morita and Masaru Ibuka in 1946. They were always designing and manufacturing new electronics. One of their first innovations was the automatic rice cooker that was successful. Morita and Ibuka earned a living by repairing radios and manufacturing voltmeters. They were originally called Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo, which is interpreted as Tokyo Telecommunication Engineering Company. Now they are called the by the ...
...For many years now, Sony is a household name, everywhere you go, Sony is there. CD player in the living room, television in the bedroom, DVD player in the car, mobile phones in your pocket and more. The Design This is basically an in-ear design; the earphone goes in the ear rather than covering the ears. The earphones is pushed a few millimetres into the ear canal, this helps prevents external noise coming in whilst listen to the sound coming from ...

Review of Sony MDR-KX70LWW

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, ...
