Samsung Electronics EO-IA500 3.5mm Earphone, Black - EO-IA500BBEGUS

WARNING - READ THIS FIRST: Before anything else, it is important to note that at this extremely low price point, quality control and unit variation are likely the main limiting factors. Some users have reported issues such as channel imbalance, and if a unit suffers from this, it can severely compromise the listening experience and understandably lead to disappointment or mistrust. Under ideal conditions, meaning a properly balanced unit with no channel imbalance and a good seal using well fitting ear tips, there is no obvious reason these should fail to perform at the level described below. Now, for my original review: As a music lover, I simply cannot contain my excitement and feel compelled to share this with others who may benefit. I mean every word of everything I am about to say here. With the specific unit I received, my music listening experience has been nothing short of profound. I genuinely cannot imagine that music could get better than this. Based on everything I have been seeing and reading, I think at this point it cannot really get much better than this. Perhaps at the highest levels of performance, the main determining factors for why one might choose one over another simply come down to personal taste. With that said, I think these could possibly be the ultimate reference point for authentic sound reproduction, at least in an in ear format. Of course, I say this as someone who is not an audiophile and I do not have extensive academic experience in the field of audio. I can only be honest about my subjective experience as a long time music lover and musician who has developed a very discerning ear over many years of attentive, critical listening. That is likely the main reason these have completely blown me away rather than merely sounding good to me. I have owned Sennheiser HD598 headphones for 15 years and 1MORE Quad Driver IEMs for about 5 years, both of which cost roughly twenty times more than these. In comparison, they are practically junk. The bass here is punchy, deep, clear, and well defined, without any muddiness whatsoever. It sits perfectly in the mix. The mids are excellent. The highs are heavenly and angelic. Nothing is masked, to the best of my ability to discern. I honestly do not have the vocabulary to fully explain what I am experiencing, but it is incredible. I cannot think of a single thing I do not like about them. There is nothing I would change. One caveat I will add, to give more insight into my listening process and hopefully help others get similar results, is fit and acclimation. I recommend using ear tips that are comfortable, create no pressure, and eventually become unnoticeable in your ears. You do not want them to feel like earplugs, but you do want them seated deep enough to form a proper seal for good bass. I will also note that while I immediately knew they sounded good and was happy with the purchase within the first few minutes, it was not until about an hour of listening and revisiting familiar music that my ears and brain fully acclimated and I realized how incredible what I was hearing truly was. So if they do not sound profound within 30 seconds, give them time. Listen to familiar reference tracks in a quiet room for an hour or so, and you may have the same experience I did. Make sure your source material is high quality. They have taken records I have known for 20 years and turned them into three dimensional soundscapes. It feels like jumping out of Pac Man straight into a high end virtual reality video game. They sound unbelievable to me even without EQ, simply plugged straight into my iPod. This has genuinely been my experience. That could be due to the geometry of my ear canal working perfectly with how everything resonates, or it could be that I simply received a perfect pair. I do not know. I hope I do not give anyone false hope, and I sincerely hope others receive a pair just as good as the one I did. For me, I would be completely satisfied if music never sounds better than this, because I truly cannot imagine it. Yes, it sounds absolutely crazy, but these ten dollar earbuds are genuinely godlike to me. It has been so mind boggling that for the past three days I have been questioning my sanity over whether this is really happening or if I somehow psyched myself out. But I am truly hearing this, and I am absolutely blown away. I do not know what else to say. Thanks to Sharur on YouTube for his video titled “The Best IEMs in the World Are Just $8.” I was fortunate enough to stumble upon it and was intrigued. I took the ten dollar gamble and won far bigger than I ever could have imagined.

It works fine , sound clear , no issues so far. It worth the price

Excelente sonido, se nota la resistencia en lo grueso del cable y no se enreda para nada, debido al modelo un poco más grande de los habituales, puede en ocasiones desacomodarse de la oreja al correr.

Ótimo produto. Graves, médios e agudos, muito bons. É o melhor fone intra-auricular que já tive com uma excelente resposta no grave (profundo)

تماما كما في الوصف
