«  Good and bad surprises »

A pleasant surprise:
- Comfort: a little tricky at first, but you get used, and comfort is very good, no gene in the auricle, no volume swings when you walk, no wind noise on the hull, ...
- Insulation: I had a Sony NWZ-845b to active isolation. The Shure (in my case with the silicone tips) is only marginally worse in the insulation of serious, but better in the acute isolation, and without the feeling of pressure on the eardrum due to active isolation.
- Sound: a balance amount slightly, with a finesse and a beautiful full color quality mids and treble, never aggressive. on the other hand, the bass is very deep as they descend very low, but lack of impact, which seems characteristic of all listeners bra (I had the Jays Q-Jays-for a week, and it was much worse) and they do not favor the midrange. Mediums, for cons, are very dynamic, which is very pleasant style of music Clapton, Knopfler, acoustic rock, jazz, ... On the other hand, we quickly get used to the slight lack of bass and can be easily corrected with an equalizer, especially since unlike most headphones, the bass are audible when there is ambient noise.
- Looks: beautiful, impeccable build quality.
The bad surprise:
- Many Internet users believe that the weak point of all this is the earphone cable, but as it is interchangeable and the rest seems very solid, ... I even saw a site in English: "... build like a tank ...".
- In fact, after less than a year, due to an error handling, mine fell from a height of fifty centimeters on a plastic floor, and the outlet tube of headphones snapped , like glass, flush with the hull, despite the presence of silicone tips to cushion the "shock". I am still very confused and very disappointed. Obviously, the manufacturer's warranty is not made to cover such damage.
In the end:
- My disappointment is the height of my hopes, and the problem is that now I have trouble listening to music with something else. In any case, the a priori superior strength inspired by these headphones do not seem justified, and can not be a selection criterion for determining the purchase.
The rest, on the other hand, is fine.
