Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I own many kinds of headphones ranging from the Sennhieser HD 650 (which I listen to using a Nuforce Icon HDP amp) to the out of the box ones like the apple ear duds. Not to brag, but to say that I know a bit about high end audio equipment. I personally like warm music, not a big fan of the higher frequencies. The Symphonized NRG Premium Genuine Wood In-ear Noise-isolating Headphones with mic (white) is a pair of headphones (or earphones) which makes you want to listen to your music more and more. There is something about certain musical equipment which makes them naturally musical (if there is a such a word for something like that). I have expected these to be warmer, as they are made of wood (dummy). But, somehow, they have managed to make them sound brighter as well (along with the warm tones which the wooden headphones naturally have). The main area where this headphone shines is the mid range, which is where the crucial tones lie, making us like the music more. This headphone also enhances the music, like some equalizer has been applied, therefore does not sound flat, which is a good thing if you are a music lover. But if you are expecting very low bass tones, you may be slightly disappointed with this one (you are better off with Denon or maybe Sony, if you want noticeable but jarring bass).. More bass is not a good thing according to me, it is tighter bass which people like (which you get with the Senn HD 650), which is kind of difficult to get with smaller drivers like the ones you find in earphones. So, this headphone is doing its best, given the size. Same thing applies if you are expecting accuracy in the reproduction of music. You wont get it with this one. But I was not and so are many normal listeners here. We all want to listen to good music, not accurate tones. Also this one is very loud, people wouldn't need to or want to listen to this at the max volume, as it might get a bit bright (surprisingly for a wooden headphone) when the volume increases. If you are wondering what bright means, it is the high end, or screechy sort of noise, which occurs at the higher frequencies (near the upper hearing limits), hence the name high end. Overall, this headphone makes the music sound more natural and musical (repeating this to emphasize this), with its fantastic mid range, bringing out the vocals and the upper end of the bass tones. The one button remote works with voice control commands of my iPhone. it is used to toggle pause and play (with single tap) and even go to the next tract (double tap). Long press invokes the voice control. three taps make the song play from the beginning. You have to use the phone buttons to toggle volume, you cant do that with the headphone button. I can't stop listening to my fav. tracks as of now.Didn't feel like this for sometime now, as I was using a crappy earphone earlier (got it with a nokia phone, was using it, as it was portable). A worthy buy. The quality to price ratio of this one beats all its competitors and maybe even beats the ones which are priced much higher.
