Customer Review: Great Bang for the Buck
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The Altec Lansing 326s (alternately known as the Backbeat Pro or Backbeat Titanium) are a new and worthwhile set of low-priced inner ear monitors (IEMs). These will work very well as a pair of earphones for on-the-go use.
When testing these IEMs I compared them to an older pair of low-priced Sennheiser CX300-B Earbuds and also to premium offerings like the Denon AHC751K In-ear Headphones and Ultimate Ears 700 Noise Isolating Earphones. When appropriate below I will compare the 326s to these popular IEMs.
Build quality - fine for the price. The phones are made of plastic, mainly black except for gold-colored tips. They don't approach premium IEMs in build quality, but they are adequate for the price. The cord is covered in a sturdy fabric, which I appreciate because it is not "sticky" like many current rubbery headphone cords. The cords for the left and right ears are the same length, with a total cord length of about 45".
Sound - If fitted properly (this is *essential* for any IEM), the bass is deep; there is a bit of an emphasis on mid-bass, but not enough to be objectionable. The midrange and treble are nicely balanced. These IEMs don't go quite as low as the Denons or have highs as detailed as the UEs, but again they do great for the price.
Fit - The Altec Lansing 326s come with four sets of neoprene tips (S, M, L, dual flange). I was able to use the medium or large tips without problem. Altec Lansing states that the dual flange tips can be used for extra noise reduction, but unfortunately I couldn't get these to fit my ears properly.
Other stuff - The 326s come with a small zippered case to store your IEMs and extra tips. Microphonics are present as others have noted - but you can reduce the effect dramatically by looping the cord over your ear (see attached photo) or by using a clip to tie down the cord somewhere high on your shirt. As for noise isolation, the 326s seems to reduce outside noise about as well as other IEMs with rubber / neoprene tips.
Conclusion - highly recommended, and a superb value in noise isolating IEMs.
