REVIEW:
I have been burning them in for about 50hrs altogether now, and as soon as I put the headphones on, the sound was fantastic!
I won't be able to do as good a review as Ishi
, but I will try my best.Sound:
I mostly listen to Brass Band, Trombone, POP, Jazz, songs, so sound clarity was a main concern for me when purchasing these headphones.
The sound quality is really good, and the bass is excellent. I have heard background instruments in recordings with these phones that I have never heard before!
The phones are Hi-Fi headphones, which means that they are really mean for linking up to an amplifier, but I find them quite loud enough.
On my MZ-NH1, with the volume set to 20, they are quite loud, and then at 30, it sounds like you are right there in the song!
Comfort:
I was told by some in the Hi-Fi forums that the 200's were very uncomfortable to wear, but I have not found this to be the case at all.
Once you have adjusted the head straps, you put the cans basically on the very top of your head, and they don't bother you at all. They are very light to wear, and look a little plastic, but the overall comfort is very good.
Test to hear the difference:
My whole family was very eager to see if I had spent my money wisely, so I got them all to listen to a 20 seconds clip my the old headphones, and then I would reply that clip again using the 200's.
My mother who is a piano teacher could tell the difference straight away, and was stunned at the difference.
All other family members could tell that the 200's were a lot clearer, and the clarity was much better.
If you want to know anything else about these, feel free to ask me.
Never written a review before, so didn’t really know what to include. Let me know if I missed anything out!
