Sony MDR-EX300/BLK Vertical In-the-Ear Style EX Style Headphones (Black)

Despite their bulbous shape - a consequence of the sizeable, 13.5mm driver squeezed inside each one - these in-ear phones are lightweight and comfortable to wear. Their reasonable price belies their class, too. While they can't match the bone-shaking output of Sennheiser IE8s, they do not supply a decent dose of distortion-free bass, with crisp treble, making them ideal for everything from rock to hip hop to electronica.
These are an absolute steal - the best value here by far and a great alternative to the big ticket options here.

Technical Details :
* New hybrid silicone type earbuds for better sound, more comfort, and secure fit - three sizes(S, M, L).
* Carrying case
* Cord adjuster.
* Cord: 1.2m, Neck-chain type.



CUSTOMER FEEDBACK :
I have had the Sony MDR-EX-300/BLK for about 2-weeks and very happy with them. I got them at Best Buy on sale for $56. My cat chewed up my V-moda ear buds right before a long plane flight. The Sony buds had a few good reviews and I had to have my music for the flight. For ear buds they are very comfortable. I use sound reducing ear muffs to reduce the plane noise over my ear buds. This is a cheap way to get noise reduction. The problem is they are not very comfortable. I found the MDR-EX-300 did a good job of noise reduction and I did not have to use sound ear muffs.
One thing I have found with my V-moda and other ear buds I have used, the rubber piece that goes in your ear falls off easy and I have lost several. On the Sony's they have a very tight fit and will not fall off. They are actually a little hard to change for a different size - but that is better than too loose.
My ears are a little burned out with too much load Rock & Roll. But I find the sound to be very good for the price. When listening to a high quality recording they sound great. They also bring out the defect on lesser quality MP3's. They are best ear buds I have used so far. The carrying case is very well design and protects them from my cat. Highly recommended.

Shure SE210 Sound Isolating Earphone - Black

Evolved from personal monitor technology road-tested by pro musicians and perfected by Shure engineers, the lightweight and stylish SE210 delivers full range audio that?s free from outside noise.

Product Features
* Hi-Definition sound with bright highs and extra detail.
* Hi-Definition MicroSpeaker delivers wider range and more clarity and detail than standard earbuds.
* Sound Isolation Technology reduces background noise better than noise-cancelling headphones, without batteries or added hiss.
* Deluxe Fit Kit including a selection of interchangeable sleeves for personalized, comfortable fit; 3' extension cable; carrying case.
* Modular Cable Design lets users choose different cable lengths to suit different music player locations (armband, pocket etc.)



The SE210s from in-ear pioneer Shure come with a variety of earbuds to ensure a snug fit, blocking out external noise and keeping your tunes in your ears rather than drifting through the train carriage. The SE210s are reasonably priced by Shure's standards, but although they produce a highly detailed sound, it's almost too clinical times, especially with lower quality MP3s. It's a thin, tightly controlled timbre that works best with cleanly produced music. Noisy rock fans should probably look elsewhere.

PROS:
- Accurate audio.
- Good noise canceling.

CONS:
- The bass feels underwhelming.
- Cable is stiff when it fits around the ear.

So when we heard that XMI the company responsible for the X-Mini was launching a new version we were suitably excited!

Retaining all of the best features from the groundbreaking first generation unit the second generation comes with a number of innovations that combine to create a greater audio experience for the user.

The X-Mini II now boasts a 40mm driver that delivers an even richer and fuller sound. Longer Battery Life. The X-Mini II now boasts an improved battery life a staggering 11 hours of continuous playback from just one charge. Buddy Jack Design. A brand new feature to the X-Mini II is the Buddy Jack system.

Combine your X-Mini II with your friend's for quite simply jaw dropping audio! Built In 3.5mm Audio Connection. The refinement of the original X-Mini continues with the inclusion of an inbuilt 3.5mm audio connection cable. No more running the risk of forgetting to pack the charging/connection lead when you leave... the connection cable is always in reach. The audio cable neatly slips away underneath the speaker when not in use. Features.

Technical Details :
* Small Compact Design, Maximum Sound.
* 11hour Battery Life.

* Connect many together for maximum Sound.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK :
These babies are great. The sound they produce is amazing and the bass produce is quite impressive for the speakers. You have to yell to be heard if you play two of the speakers at the same time. Although you lose a little quality when the source of the music and the speaker are turned all the way up, but then again, what speaker doesn't. I do believe the loss of the quality is from the rattling sound as the speakers vibrate across the table from it's own bass. I am highly satisfied with this product and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for portable speakers.

Sennheiser HD800 Premier Headphone

The Sennheiser HD-800 is the headphone that has been specifically engineered in replicating the basic acoustic conditions of natural hearing.The HD-800 is the ultimate headphone to deliver nature.
The impression of spatial listening is created by a minute time lapse with which one and the same sound wave arrives at the inner ear. Ideally, the sound waves produced by a hi-fi sound system reach the listener at an angle of 60 degrees. The sound waves do not reach the ear straight on, but through a slightly angled sound front. This causes some of the sound impulses to reach the nerve ends of the inner ear earlier than others. The resulting time lapse is a matter of split seconds, but it is exactly this phenomenon that gives the impression of spatial listening.

Technical Details
* Natural hearing experience - realistic and natural sound field with minimal resonance.
* Biggest transducers ever used in headphones up to today - new innovative dynamic transducer design.
* Uncovered ear cups for acoustic and stylistic reasons.
* Metal headband with inner damping element.
* Specially tuned symmetrical, impedance matching cable with low capacitance.

Technical Specifications
# Frequency Response: 6–51,000 Hz (-10 dB); 14–44,100 Hz (-3 dB)
# Nominal impedance: 300 Ohms
# Sound pressure level at 1 kHz: 102 dB (1 Vrms)
# Max. nominal long-term input power: 500 mW in acc. with EN 60-268-7
# Harmonic distortion: <_ 0.02% (1 kHz, 1 Vrms)
# Contact pressure: approx. 3.4 N ± 0.3 N
# Weight (without cable): approx. 330 g
# Jack plug: ¼" (6.3 mm) stereo
# Connecting cable: silver-plated, oxygen-free (OFC) copper cable, symmetrical, Kevlar reinforced, 3 m
# Operating temperature: –10 °C to +55 °C



The transducer is designed in the shape of a ring. Basically, the larger the surface of the transducer the purer the sound—particularly when it comes to the low notes. A large surface area, however, also generates disruptive spurious oscillation at higher frequencies, so-called eigenmodes. This is primarily due to the fact that conventional-sized transducers do not have a satisfactory way of controlling high-frequency oscillations. The ringed shape of the new transducer effectively solves this dilemma: Its broad area oscillates in an extremely controlled way due to the large coil and the two supporting surfaces. This results in a previously unheard-of degree of freedom from distortion and thus the greatest purity and brilliance of sound.
The ring-shaped transducer utilized in the HD 800 greatly enhances the control of the oscillating surface. This results in a more voluminous sound wave and thus far greater clarity. In a conventional transducer, unwanted spurious oscillation can occur due to eigenmodes. Even improvements such as increasingly sophisticated Duofol laminations are unable to completely negate these physical limitations.
The symmetrical cords are designed with twin-core, high-performance, Teflon-insulated connections on each side. They are additionally covered with high-quality material for better shielding from oscillations caused by ambient noise. The jacks are exclusively produced for the HD 800 in Switzerland and feature gold-plated bunches. Gold has the highly positive property of having a very low transfer resistance, thus guaranteeing excellent contact without interference.
The headband consists of a sandwich design in which a metal layer is covered with several layers of plastic. The high-tech plastic possesses incredible attenuation characteristics and ensures that oscillations are not transmitted to the headphone mountings.The headphones of the HD 800 are only mounted on one side, to make sure they fit optimally over the ear. The relocation of their point of balance towards the back of the head also enhances comfort for the wearer.

Alarm2 will only overwrite the volume setting of alarm1 if it is active.
* There is a short buzz sound whenever you turn the speakers on. This also happens if the alarm starts the device. So that sounds is most likely the sound that wakes me up before the play list kicks in.
* There is a shuffle on/off button on the device and the the remote. However pressing the button the device will not tell you, you just turned it on or off.
