Previously using a set of headphones that although sounding very good I could not get on with the earbuds provided even though there were 6 sets plus one Memory Foam set?! These were AiAiAi Y Connects and I recently walked into a cash converters and saw a pair of earphones that had been on my Amazon wish list for about a year.
More curiously is the fact that these are very unusual headphones and even one brother who knows all about this stuff had not seen them before nor even heard of them when I showed them to him?!
These are Atomic Floyd Airjax Titanium 2s and normally retailing for way over £100 and closer to £150 odd I managed to acquire these for £50 after knocking them down on the price?!
I should not have done it but I though god knows when I will ever again be in a position to buy something like this?! It was these of Shure SE535, err or 525s cannot remember now. As I cannot seem to find ones that seal in the ear that do not drive me crazy, a shame as the sound is great, when I saw these ones I thought they would be perfect and so far they are. That is apart for the fact that my Sweex Optimuo player was already a pain in the rear in either refusing to read its own NAND memory OR the micro SDCARD and not turning the volume down two levels every time you touch a button, or its annoying user interface which was nothing like the pictures suggested. I digress ... oh wait it not only does it not play FLAC files but it is now refusing to play half my OGG files too?!
I digress.
The other thing is that despite what they say about playing music on a smart phone I will let you into a little secret, they are CRAP. Although I have not tried the HTC Beats Audio ones and I had wanted one of these in the hope that what inflictions previous ones had would not be the case for the HTC's. But I do not know and had I bought them and they suffered from the same thing then I would come to the conclusion that the rumours that the European Union is forcing them to turn the volumes down must be true and I would take the EU to court over it. Yes you heard me correct, what a bunch of halfwits and money wasters that came up with that ruling?! Piss off and mind your own fecking business you morons! Oh well that last statement is only meant in the event that this is the case and these companies are just making shoddy products they are charging you over the top money for and trying to lay the blame at someone elses door. Hmm why do I say that? Well this is what is claimed for Sony's musics players. UMM HELLOOOO THEY ARE MUSIC PLAYERS ITS WHAT THEY DO AND YOU ARE STOPPING THEM FROM DOING THAT?!?! Oh off topic again I DO apologise, yes many people complain about Sony's players being muted by the EU and if this is the case then why does my crappy little Sweex Optimuo sound a great deal louder then my Motorola Smartphone?!
How can it be that a huge company like Sony get their players stifled and Sweex does not? Anyone care to think money is behind this?!
So I am now searching high and low for an affordable music player that can handle all my FLAC files and has a SDCARD slot, now huge touch screen using up the battery rapidly and sounds good and not muted and that I do not need to take a mortgage out for and will not break down the first time it is breathed upon and does not use iTunes?!?!?!
Yes well i have already been looking for that one for a year now, now looking at over brands I have not heard of, like Coby and Energy Sistem (how its spelt) and I can tell you there is nothing I have EVER shopped for in my ENTIRE life that is this frustrating and it is an absolute joke.
If they all had SDCARD slots in it would be a great deal easier but I would end up with another brand I used to adore but have gone off, and admitted to me on the phone were rigging the games machines in not so many words, and that is Sony?! Except the one I like they now no longer do and a butt ugly one has taken its place?!
GOD HELP ME BEFORE I GO INSANE?!?! LMAO!!!
This also applies to headphones as even the biggest brands I read horror stories of one side, always ONE SIDE, of the headphones packing up. I have even read it about these and I am talking about headphones costing £80 to over £250 and ask myself how in the hell this can be possible?! I first wanted to try out the Beats Headphones by Monster Cable until I started reading this. Mind you could be fakes going around or reviewers could be fake and from rival manufacturers even?!
I should add that I have owned TWO Sennheiser products, used to love their stuff, and BOTH were brand new, expensive and both failed after awhile with one after three weeks and the other after three months. The first was CX-400 IIs and the other a gorgeously designed bluetooth headset for phone conversations. Both were great until they ... FAILED. I contacted Sennheiser about these a couple of times but never received an answer. My answer, however, is to NEVER touch Sennheiser products ever again.
I have had the same difficulties with Freeview TV boxes too. Never had one that worked properly to this day!
Turn a blind eye for money and it inevitably becomes a god awful mess!
Anyway the headphones...
They are Titanium and you do not notice they are on, they are not sticking inside your ears either.
Braided leads are the only downside as they do tend to tangle easily, took me 5 minutes just to get them circled like that and not correctly!
A clever hard case but honestly needed to be slightly bigger. Clever in that you squeeze the sides to open it.
The box that caused a double take when I recognised the phones on the other side of the clear plastic!
They are good and for rock, pop, classical and the like but if you want them for bass, as I suspect the owner of these did, do not buy them!
Goodies... two large jack adaptors, not entirely sure why, airplane adaptor rubber sleeves for ear hooks I for one do not need and on the right is un-screwable allen key as the headphones can be adjusted up and down the titanium shaft for perfect fit?! Oh a membership card thing inside too.
