Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lift Audio Groove Series Noise-Isolating In-Ear Headphones (Black)Customer Review: Realistic, Natural, Well-Defined Sound at a Great Price Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I gave these Lift Audio "in-ear headphones" a somewhat brutal test - the seventh track ("Mombasa"), on the soundtrack to Hans Zimmer's "Inception," and the fifth track ("Ain't No Son"), an excellent, rocking track on the new Court Yard Hounds' self-titled CD. Both tracks have highs, lows, booming bass and bright treble, and either track will put ANY headphones or earbuds through a serious test.
I've lost over 20% of my high-end (treble) hearing over the years, so I tend to like a somewhat higher than normal brighter sound, but appreciate deep, rich, natural-sounding (not shallow), bass as well. I have to say I was more than pleasantly surprised with the sound of these earbuds - though the driver is only 9mm, they have a rich, clean and most importantly NATURAL sounding low bass, but not booming or excessive, to bright, but not excessive treble. VERY good, clean, overall natural sound!
I could not find any left or right designation, and I noticed that to appreciate the sound these can truly deliver, they must be placed and sealed in your ears very well (not a hard task to accomplish with the enclosed kit and a little common sense), or you will lose much of the quality sound these are more than capable of delivering. The noise-isolation was impressive. I had my TV with built-in surround sound and external Klipsch speakers on moderate volume in the background, and these did a very good job of isolating the noise, even when the buds were at a lower volume.
All in all, a terrific, natural-sounding, quality product that one might expect to pay close to $100.00 for, but be warned - some people DON'T prefer a natural sound. They prefer more booming bass or brighter treble, and if you are looking for either or both of those, you might be disappointed with the well-balanced, natural sound these offer. I have a pair of Etymotic ER-4S ear canal headphones that cost close to $200.00, and a top PC mag said the following about them in April 2009:
"The ER-4S is an industry standard for consumer-level flat-response earphones, offering a pure, unaffected listening experience."
An excellent review, and for these Lift Audio earbuds to even sound CLOSE to the Etymotics is high praise indeed. Well worth the price (which varies), and highly recommended... 4 1/2 stars.
Last but not least, these also come with a somewhat inexpensive looking vinyl case (with a key ring) on it. I liked the case on the 6mm Lift Audio phones much better, but this is purely cosmetic and does not detract from either earphone being an excellent value for your money.
(Please see my Lift Audio Noise-Isolating Earphone 6mm review.)
