BassBeGood « Disappointing »
Published on 06/14/11 at 05:48I had the Philips SHL 8800, but the cable failed at me, after 3 months (much too thin and not very intensive at the jack, and a day bed, over his left). I rather liked the sound, good bass without drooling (I listen all the grindcore than house and it was pretty nickel) treble well rendered, etc..
I went to the store and I could exchange it against the JVC HA-S360 in the same price, a little disgusted by the fragility of the Philips. It is quite nice, quite sober.
It is comfortable to wear, the headphones are quite comfortable. But he has one little problem: sound.
In fact, I was very disappointed by the lack of bass and very (too) strong mid presence. Anyone snare becomes unbearable, bass disappears, and a crash cymbal a little stronger you file tinnitus. Moreover, in public transport is pretty horrible as long as you ride a little sound.
For example, I mostly listened to the latest Devin Townsend, and the sound does not scale, it's rough. As a fan of Kyuss, I dare not even try to listen to one of their albums with this headset.
So if we must judge the value for money for the sound that Opeth would go for guys who have been rehearsing in a basement with 20W amp kit for a beginner, I would say it pretty bad.
I'm finally back in my store to exchange it against the Philips SHL 8800 I had previously owned.
