| Category: Audio Recently Apple released their In-Ear Headphones and I was looking forward to getting a pair. Whilst it is true they sound much better than what ship as standard with their iPod offerings, and have a really cool UI featuring FF, RW, Volume and microphone -- I reckon they're rubbish! There you go, not a patch on my existing Sennheiser MX 560 for bass response. At my age, bass response is important. FWIW my benchmark was run using the standard DB audio test suite: Pet Sounds, Graceland, a random podcast and a random movie (in retrospect, poor choice of movie I suspect but I felt like watching it). Price comparisom (approximate RRP): Apple Standard = $A50; Apple IEH = $A110; Sennheiser MX560= $A50 Your mileage may vary. |
