AIAIAI Y-CONNECTS
Crap name but great sound!!
Well I have referred to them several times and probably had many readers, not that have many, wondering that in the world I was on about...
Well due to a curious thing in that my new Sony Walkman has transformed these and they were already damn good anyway I thought I might cover them here.
Oddly I have had a problem with these which I initially thought was something to do with the earphones but I am now 99% convinced, and I NEVER end up wrong when I am THAT convinced, that this is down to my left ear having some kind of problem. Rather bizarrely I have been well aware of a problem in my right ear for years and the sensitivity is less so than the left. However when I got these particular in ear headphones whenever I used the large and long ear-buds in the picture my hearing would go down by half or more. Rather like when you ears pop through air pressure and everything goes dull! This is what takes place when I try to use these on my left ear whereas the right has no issues. In an attempt to correct this I pierced many holes with a sewing needle in the silicone and even made a small cut and now though they still make my ears pop I can wiggle them around and this stops. However the monitor is still so loosely placed in my ear that if used while out it starts to slip out every ten minutes or so.
Now they sound better than the Atomic Floyds, which are not In-Ear headphones and need more power, hence an upcoming series of testable theories I have in mind. Certainly going out these AiAiAi's are fabulous. Normally retails around £65 I believe and made in Belgium.
They come in a fantastic container that really caught my eye and I spotted these in TK Maxx for £25 around a year ago! There were other colours but a bot loud and gaudy, not to mention girly, for my taste! They do a smaller model too and a number of other headphones besides.
They have certainly made me wonder now what pairs of £130 to £250 Shure headphones sound like.
These are utterly durable and I have never had any other problems other than one which is my own anyway.
A shock to hear that good a sound quality from an otherwise unknown brand and they were leagues ahead of my Sennheiser CX-400 II which failed after 3 weeks. Oddly a Bluetooth headset of theirs broke down after 3 months and Sennheiser do not like the number 3 that is for sure.
Better still they come with 7 sets of ear-buds and a bright yellow memory foam set. The only problem being is that the memory foam set are way too large and fiddly to get in and uncomfortable. Odd as they only included one set and I have not found smaller ones available by this company?! This is even more strange when I can tell you my ear holes are somewhere between a medium and a large so I reckon the used Marvel's Hulk as a test dummy for the memory foams?! LMAO!
