Review: Philips CitiScape Uptown (Updated Sept 18, 2012) - Page 18

Has anybody tried to open the controller? (I'm guessing one would have to pry open it)
Maybe it would be possible to just disconnect the volume controller and then solder new wires to bypass it entirely.
This is my only annoyance, I really don't understand why Philips didn't opt for two buttons instead (IE. it would send signals to the source to adjust its own volume).

Hey guys, not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but I'm in a huge dilemma :-)

 

I have recently bought the Shure SE215 In-Ears (about two or three months ago), and I am in love with them. The sound is very nice and I really like them. My only complaint is regarding the difficulty that it is to put them on :-)

 

After buying an over-ear headphone for my girlfriend, I noticed how I miss being able to just put up some over-ears and how comfortable they are.

 

So, I am here to ask if I should buy the Phillips Uptown. They are on sale for £56, and I think it is a reasonable price.

My main question is if its sound quality is on the same standard as the SE215, as I don't want to get a really better headphone (I still want to come back to hearing my SE215s!). The Uptown is really pretty and classy, and according to all the reviews, it looks like it is a good deal.

 

I know that we can't quite compare between in-ears and over-ears, but do you guys *think* it would be a good buy, given the conditions that I mentioned? What would be the main advantages and disadvantages?

 

Thank you very much for all your comments and advice!
