Customer Review: Relatively Expensive But Quality, Need Power To Drive Them
Summary: 5 Stars

These Philips Headphones are the only other pair that I own. I also have Sony 100's (for mini headphones). I listened to two recordings with these headphones. One classical CD with Rachmaninov Symphonic Dances with Svetlanov on a Russian Label and INX's Shabooh Shoobah. The Rachmaninov sounded good as the orchestral playing of the Symphonic Dances sometimes demonstrated the bass and midrange seperately. The treble was there also don't get me wrong. The INXS sounded worse. The midbass, midrange,and lower treble were all prominent above the extreme highs and lows. Only in track 9 did the bass demonstrate itself only because it wasn't "clouded" by the other frequencies. Michael Hutchence the lead singer sounded a bit boxed and not as natural. But then again these are mini headphones for less than $15.00. The specs on these headphones say 18hz is the lower limit I wonder if that isn't the lower limit period and not the usual -3dB measurement. To me the bass can be felt in the ear if the volume is right and the right material is playing, but I wonder how deep that actually is...100hz...80hz. I can't imagine these reproducing sound below that without trailing off significantly. The imaging is fine and probably better than most full size units. These are no Sony 7506's mind you, but maybe imaging as good as Sennheiser's HD 280's without a deep of a bass or overall flat of a response. Don't let me make you think that these are anywhere near as good as those more expensive headphones. I am probably exaggerating a little to make a point. Lastly these aren't very sensitive and will probably eat up your batteries or test the small amplifier in whatever miniature device you plug them into. I didn't test their power handling either. So it is possible that it takes a lot to drive them and once YOU get them to the level you want they COULD distort. This is my early review. I'll try to update it with use.
