Awesome Earphones That Cost More Than Actual Phones by donlyone(m): 12:38pm On Dec 23, 2014 |
Some people (Audiophiles that is) want nothing but the best when it comes to the quality of sound produced by musical equipments and they are willing to pay for it. If you are an audiophile, here is a list of earphones designed for you. In no particular order: Ultimate Ears UE900s ($400) When it comes to getting the sound you paid for with in-ear headphones, achieving a perfect ear tip seal is absolutely crucial. The seal also more effectively blocks external noise, so to that end Ultimate Ears includes the biggest selection of tip types and sizes than any other in-ear we know. The UE900s sound is also beautifully balanced and highly transparent. Aurisonics Rockets ($249) This is easily the most transparent sounding in-ear headphone I've heard for this kind of money. It's also super-comfortable, solidly built and comes with possibly the longest headphone warranty extant, it runs a full 5 years (review to come). Sennheiser IE 800 ($800) These tiny, universal fit in-ears are super-comfy, and the bass-midrange-treble balance is perfect, says the Audiophiliac. This is one of the very best sounding universal-fit in-ears, on par with much more expensive custom molded in-ear designs. There's only one downside, the IE 800 doesn't block external noise as well as the customs. 1964 Ears V6 Stage ($699) The custom-molded 1964 Ears V6-Stage is a "three-way" design with six balanced armature drivers (dual bass, dual midrange, and dual treble). Each pair of 1964 Ears V6 Stages are made to order, so custom colors, finishes, and artwork can be used to personalize your headphones. This headphone digs deep into the more subtle elements of a recording, so I heard stuff like the singers' breaths and the instruments' textures. NuForce Primo 8 ($499) The NuForce Primo 8 is a true audiophile headphone, and while it's expensive, you'd have to spend a lot more to get something better. Westone ES60 ($1,300) The Westone ES60 custom molded in-ear is the "quietest" headphone we've heard. Superior noise-blocking makes a huge difference when you're in a plane, bus, train, office, park, or any noisy environment. Unlike noise-canceling headphones that use battery-powered electronics, the ES60 hushes noise by creating a tight seal in your ear canal. The treble detailing is incredible, so percussion instruments really come alive. Bass is flat-out amazing; when a drummer really hammers his kick drum you feel it. The bass' taut definition, texture, and shading is ahead of the pack. The Westone ES60 is the best sounding in-ear headphone on the planet. Each ES60 is hand-built in Colorado Springs, Colo. Would you like to have one of these? http://www.cnet.com/pictures/this-is-it-the-audiophiliacs-top-in-ear-headphones-of-2014-pictures/

Unless they used a high grade titanium alloy to coat the wires of the earpiece.... Then I'll know it's well worth the money.... Why buy an earpiece for N300,000 that will still break as easily as a N200 earpiece ? 1 Like |

Am an ear peice/head phone addict. Thers one earpiece am using now, to be sincere, i bought it for 350 naira wen i was trecking one lonely evening, the production on power AMP is massive. I just wonder, what will the production of earpiece costing 1300$(over 200,000naira) be like? Excuse me mr producer, can this earpiece change Terryg/Timaya/jaywon's voice to that of john ledgend? Because i hate noise. 6 Likes |

macklef: The earphones are for AUDIOPHILES. I think they are a kind of eccentric people who are obsessed with quality sounds. If not that I am CHEAP I would have considered myself an audiophile. Lol
