JBL C100SI

JBL C100SI — vacuum headphones with a dynamic driver, ultra-light, comfortable. Each uses a 9mm driver that delivers incredibly deep bass without losing emphasis on other frequencies, delivering pure JBL signature sound. Very comfortable for everyday wear. A microphone with a universal remote control allows you to make phone calls, control music on devices running Android and IOS, unlike the Sennheiser MX 170, which does not have this feature. Headphones work with a reproducible frequency range from 20 to 20,000 Hz, a sensitivity of 103 dB and an impedance of 16 ohms. The wire is shorter than that of the Sennheiser MX 170 — 1.1 m, at the other end there is a standard mini jack 3.5 mm plug. The kit includes 3 pairs of interchangeable ear pads.

Advantages:

• Beautiful view.
• Good sound quality.
• Universal control panel.
• Speaker.
• Do not fall out of the ears.

Flaws:

• Thin wire.
• Short wire — only 1.1 m.
• The wire gets tangled all the time.
• Poor quality microphone.

A good model for only 500 rubles. But when compared with the previous one (Sennheiser MX 170), the difference in sound quality is immediately noticeable — here it is better. There is a speaker, even if it is not of the best quality, a control panel. I have the most complaints about the wire: it is short, constantly tangled, very often breaks. On the Yandex. Market 87% of buyers recommend this product.

Panasonic RP-HJE125

Panasonic RP-HJE125 in-ear headphones with ergonomic Ergofit design, comfortable for listening to music. The speaker is not placed exactly in the center. This allows you to conveniently position the earpiece near the ear canal. The special design of the OctaRib speaker covers a frequency range of 10Hz-24kHz. Headphones are connected via a 3.5 mm mini-jack connector, which fits most phones. The case, wires and ear pads are made in the same color, which emphasizes the unity of the design. The set includes 3 pairs of ear pads of different sizes for maximum user comfort. Supplied in 9 colors. The cable length is 1.1m, same as JBL C100SI.

Advantages:

• Low price.
• They fit perfectly in the ears. They don’t fall out.
• Good sound.
• 9 colors.

Flaws:

• Fragile, thin wire.
• No microphone, no volume control.
• At sub-zero temperatures, the cord becomes too hard.
• Short cord.

Good, affordable Panasonic vacuum headphones with high-quality sound, moderate bass. For this price, you can hardly expect anything outstanding, but I think that they do their job perfectly. Among the minuses are a thin fragile wire that often breaks, the lack of a control panel and a conversational speaker, which are in the JBL C100SI. The price is 530 rubles. On the Yandex. Market 87% of buyers recommend this product.

Huawei AM115

The in-ear headphones of the Chinese company Huawei do not stand out from the many other models. The frequency response range is from 20 to 20,000 Hz with a sensitivity of 98 dB / mW at a resistance of 32 ohms. This model has a remote control, a microphone, unlike the Panasonic RP-HJE125 and Sennheiser MX 170, and this is already a big plus. The microphone in them is clearly better than in the JBL C100SI. Wire length — 1.1 m, as in Panasonic RP-HJE125. At the other end is a standard mini jack 3.5 mm plug.

Advantages:

• Quality sound.
• The wire is thin, but does not break.
• Good conversational speaker.
• Beautiful view.

Flaws:

• Not suitable for all types of ears, some users fall out when walking.
• Weak bass.
• They get very dirty.

To my surprise, this model performed very well. The headset and remote control are better than in the JBL C100SI, the sound from the microphone is clearer and louder. I was pleased with the wire — not as thin as in the listed rating models, more resistant to damage. I do not recommend this model to fans of powerful bass: here it is almost at a minimum. The price is 630 rubles. On the Yandex. Market 83% of buyers recommend this product.

Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Headphones Basic (Xiaomi Piston Fresh)

Externally, the model looks very nice. The headphones are made using metal anodizing technology, so the case is very comfortable and light. The surface is not scratched, has an anti-slip effect. The edges are neatly smoothed, which makes the headphones even more beautiful and comfortable. With the 3rd generation damping balance system, the sound is more pure, balanced due to the chamber, which allows airflow to pass through, improving the performance of the damping system. The speakers support a frequency response of 20-20,000 Hz with a sensitivity of 93 dB and an impedance of 32 ohms. The design of the cable does not allow it to twist and tangle. The wire is more durable, prevents stretching and breakage of internal contacts. On the cable itself there is a control panel: you can answer calls, turn on music. On the back of it is a conversational speaker. The cable is 1.25 m, which is 15 cm longer than in Huawei AM115.

Advantages:

• Attractive design.
• High quality component materials.
• 5 colors.
• damping system.
• Good sound quality and earpiece.

Flaws:

• After a couple of months, one of the headphones fails.
• The ear pads do not hold tightly on the headphones themselves, they are constantly removed.
• Very low bass.

In terms of sound quality and microphone, this model suits me. I want to note their fragility, the box says that their service life is only 6 months, but they fail earlier, the right earpiece or microphone just stops working. Due to poor quality, I would recommend taking Huawei AM115, they will last longer, and the sound quality is not inferior at all. The price is 700 rubles. On the Yandex. Market 77% of buyers recommend this product.

JBL T110

The JBL T110 are black and white vacuum headphones with a modern design. The model provides special liners made of soft and body-friendly material, which guarantee impeccable comfort when using the device. The ear pads are ideally placed in the ear, so the device will not cause discomfort and discomfort while wearing. The JBL T110 earphones fit snugly in the auricle, do not fall out even when jogging or strong vibrations when riding in public transport, while playing sports. Reproducible frequency range — 20-20000 Hz with a sensitivity of 100 dB at a resistance of 16 ohms. JBL T110 is a device with the highest sound quality. The model is equipped with a powerful speaker that provides excellent high and medium frequencies, powerful bass. One-button remote control on the wire can control the playback and stop of songs, answer calls or reject incoming calls. Flat cable 1.1 m long, on the other end there is a standard mini jack 3.5 mm plug.

Advantages:

• Flat cable that won’t tangle.
• Good sound level and bass.
• Good audibility through the speaker.
• Do not fall out of the ears. There is no discomfort from long wearing.

Flaws:

• Often one earpiece fails.
• There is no volume control. Just «stop» and «continue».
• The rustle of the wire on the clothes is transmitted to the earpiece.
• Often the plug itself breaks.

Another model from JBL, which differs from the JBL C100SI in a better microphone, a flat wide wire that does not get tangled, does not break so easily. But in the JBL T110 model, the right earpiece very often fails — this is a factory defect that has not yet been eliminated. I consider the lack of volume control on the control panel to be a big minus: for example, in the Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Headphones Basic model, this possibility exists. The price is 830 rubles. On the Yandex. Market 79% of buyers recommend this product.

Sony MDR-EX155

Sony budget headphones in 8 colors — none of the competitive models has such a list of colors. High-sensitivity 9mm drivers in a compact package deliver crisp highs and powerful bass. Frequency response — 5-24000 Hz with a sensitivity of 103 dB at a resistance of 16 ohms. The tangle-resistant and twist-resistant corrugated cable provides comfort when using headphones. It has a length of 1.2 m, unlike, for example, JBL T110 and Huawei AM115 (1.1 m), at the other end of the wire there is a standard mini jack 3.5 mm plug. The package includes 4 sets of ear pads in SS, S, M and L sizes.

Advantages:

• Large selection of body and wire colors.
• Large range of reproducible frequencies.
• Non-twisting corrugated cable.
• Powerful sound and bass.
• Do not fall out of the ears.

Flaws:

• Lack of conversational speaker, control panel.
• Often the mini jack 3.5 mm plug fails, you have to solder it.
• Insufficient soundproofing.

Sony again pleased us with a good model of headphones, but they do not have a speaker, as in the Panasonic RP-HJE125 model. For me, this is a significant minus when choosing headphones. I was pleased with the quality cable, which is resistant to damage, does not get tangled, unlike the JBL C100SI. Often the plug itself breaks, which then has to be soldered. The price is 890 rubles. On the Yandex. Market 82% of buyers recommend this product.

Samsung EO-EG920 Fit

The EO-EG920 Fit in-ear headphones have a comfortable fit due to their unusual shape, which allows them to be used when playing sports. They have an attractive design and are available in 4 colors. The frequency response range is 20–20000 Hz with a sensitivity of 101 dB/mW and an impedance of 32 ohms. These figures are identical to the Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro, but slightly worse than the Sony MDR-EX155. The cable length is 1.2 m, which is a little more than most of the previously mentioned models. They have a control panel with the ability to receive calls, turn on / switch tracks, like Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro, but the Sony MDR-EX155 does not have a remote control and a microphone at all. The other end of the cable has a standard 3.5 mm mini jack plug.

Advantages:

• Volume control.
• Microphone.
• Good soundproofing.
• Quality cord.
• The ability to switch tracks with the remote control.

Flaws:

• Outwardly, they look unattractive.
• Often the left earpiece fails.

Very comfortable, suitable for sports, everyday needs. There are volume and microphone controls. Panasonic RP-HJE125 and Sony MDR-EX155 cannot boast of this. But the headphones have a more attractive design, they are available in 9 colors, and not 4, like the EO-EG920 Fit. During operation (usually after 3-4 months), the left earpiece fails, less often the right one. The price is 999 rubles. On the Yandex. Market 83% of buyers recommend this product.

Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro

Outwardly, like most Xiaomi models, they are beautiful. In Mi In-Ear Headphone Pro, a soft dynamic emitter is responsible for low frequencies and percussion, and a reinforcing one is responsible for detailing the main melody at medium and high frequencies. The speaker membrane is made of graphite composite, which provides high-quality sound in a wide range. The headphone cord has a fabric braid, so it is durable even with frequent or strong bends. Reproducible frequency range — 20-20000 Hz, sensitivity — 101 dB / mW, impedance — 32 ohms. The package includes 3 pairs of ear pads of different sizes for maximum user comfort. The cable length is 1.25 m, it has a call and music control panel. There are buttons for switching audio tracks; this feature is not available in Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Headphones Basic and JBL T110.

Advantages:

• High quality materials.
• Durable and long cord — 1.25 m.
• Very good sound.
• Case included.
• The ability to switch music with a remote control.

Flaws:

• No soundproofing.
• The ear pads rub your ears a lot.
• Heavy metal earpiece.
• Inconvenient buttons on the panel.

The model from Xiaomi has a high-quality sound due to the armature-dynamic type of speakers, which most competitors do not have. The sound is very clear, loud, with a moderate level of bass. But the supplied ear pads rub your ears a lot, and the durable wire is constantly tangled. I have no complaints about the sound, but there are drawbacks in terms of practicality of use. The model has a remote control with buttons for switching music, and this is a big plus. The price is 1050 rubles. On the Yandex. Market 78% of buyers recommend this product.
