«  Very suitable for the mp3 »

Published on 10/09/10 at 06:16
Value For Money : Excellent
For how long have you been using it?

One week

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

Little choice made on the Internet with well defined objectives following the failure of my headphones.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
It is perfectly suited for listening to mp3 player or laptop.
Comfort and quality of hearing well balanced for this type of program.
Its value for money is good today in 2010, well below its launch price in 2006.
Of course, while folding, it does not fit in the pocket but the sound is at that price. It is a headset and not headphones.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

Listening to the source to the ear through a chain that must be balanced. The UR40 does not pretend to be a Stereo headset salon which is located in a different price range, itself very broad and balanced with the quality of the channel in question. Having a link in an unbalanced way or another is detrimental either to listen or to the wallet.
For listening on my channel I have a headphone (Koos for that matter) that is designed for that.
For listening to music on an mp3 compressed sound card or portable laptop, the UR40 is in what we can expect more especially in relation to money 201O

For all the foregoing reasons, I do not regret my choice.

In absolute terms, compared to a real salon Stereo headset, it lacks a lot of precise definition for listening to classical works complex and rich harmonic sound back, for balance against the width of the spectrum is convincing and maintains sound quite natural.
