Bowers & Wilkins C5 Serie 2 in-ear headphones
Wrote the following about Bowers & Wilkins C5 Serie 2 in-ear headphones
Geweldige In-Ear head-set!

Ik heb deze oordoppen nu een half jaar, hiervoor had ik de Bose SoundTrue en daarvoor de Bose Triport IE, maar deze gingen stuk en omdat ik toch niet tevreden was over de hoge frequenties, ben ik overgestapt naar deze B&W's.
Deze oordoppen zijn ietsje duurder dan ik had, maar ze zijn die extra centen ook zeker waard! Zelfs de Bass (welke bij de Bose's ook zeer goed was) overtreft dit setje gemakkelijk. Uit de doos klinken ze prachtig vlak en nu heb ik ze met de EQ van Spotify naar mijn smaak ingesteld.
Ook het hoesje dat bijgeleverd wordt is niet alleen erg praktisch, ook is het erg mooi.
Dit is gewoon niet te vergelijken met de Beats Mixr die ik gehad heb. Ze zitten na een aantal uur gedragen te hebben erg fijn en als je de goede plugs hebt gevonden klinken ze echt fantastisch.

Ze zijn zeker aan te raden. Ze zijn voor iedereen die het geld ervoor over heeft (en een iPhone heeft, met Samsung tablet heb ik ze getest en hierbij werkten ze gewoon niet. Ook met Samsung telefoons werkt de afstand bediending niet) geschikt.


Pluspunten;

- Geweldige geluidskwaliteit
- Zit goed in het oor dankzij de Secure Loop
- Solide metalen behuizing
- Lange garantie welke ook kabelbreuk dekt
- Elegant en praktisch hoesje

Minpunten

- De kabel is dun, ik heb liever een iets dikkere en robuustere kabel
- De jack is recht, ik heb liever eentje met een rechte hoek, omdat je dan kabelbreuk grotendeels voorkomt - Je moet de goede plugs erbij zoeken om de beste bass reflex te krijgen
- Werkt alleen optimaal met Apple producten (voor mij geen probleem, maar misschien voor een ander)

Fender Introduces Their Very First Series of In-Ear Monitors

Friday 12 February 2016 By Lizanne

Ever since Fender sold their very first guitar in 1946, the company has focused purely on guitars, amplifiers and the like. As providers of some of the best on-stage audio products on the market, in-ear monitors are not too far from Fender's area of expertise, but are a surprise nonetheless. Fender didn't create the DXA1, FXA2, FXA5, FXA6 and FXA7 from scratch though. Instead, Fender bought Aurisonics, a company that specialises in headphones and is revered by audio lovers around the world. This series of in-ear headphones is pure quality; the result of years of experience and research.
