Do the betron bs-10s isolate as well as they advertise it does?
its sad that these are available only on amazon here in india they cost 2913 INRThe Betron BS-10 is so good I bought a back up pair in black, my original ones are white
I understand, so how much of a comfort difference is there a big one? And how light is the bass, is it as light as the etymotic er4? BEcause i find that one quit light on bass.
comparing the ER4XR to the B5+, the B5 is bassier and have fatter overall tone, but still commendably clear in details
a development from my short impression that i wrote on another thread: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/chi...hones-and-iems.820747/page-1092#post-14341964
i swapped the stock cables with a balanced one and use ortofon tips on them. to be truthful, the first couple of days i got it i was disappointed, because the sound has a splashy, unnatural low bitrate feel to them, especially on mids and cymbals, while frustratingly clear and detailed.. it makes me think there's something wrong with my unit (because reading other reviews, no one mention this problem). so in a last ditch effort, i put them playing all night with a bit louder volume than i use listen, but not too loud).
and the weird splashy cymbals are gone...
I'm not an advocate of burn in school especially with BA drivers, but there's definitely changes.
and I'm sure this is not brain burn in, because i didn't listen to them at all while it was burned (because i can't stand the splashy cymbals sound) , and every time i listened to it i always use other earphones as benchmark.
I'm glad i took more time with it. for the price i got more than i paid.

...or addiction.
Sound leaking in from the environment.When you say isolate are you talking sound leaking in from the environment, or sound leaking out and bothering others around you?
Sound leaking in from the environment.
On the amazon page they describe it as:
"Noise Isolation technology keeps it personal- it’s just you and the music. There’s no need to take measures to drown out outside noise; the BS10 earphones have you covered."

Yeah, wasn't expecting too much for the price but was keeping an open mind ThanksWell, here’s the deal. They have an oval nozzle and a shallow fit that will fit some better than others. Because of the shallow fit, I switched to Auvios instead of the stock tips. The Auvios are a little longer than the stock tips. But even then, they are not a super deep fit (at least in me). They seal awesome on the right side but just barely on the left side. And as you know, seal affects isolation.
So for me (which may be totally different than someone else), if I have no music playing I can hear outside environmental noises fine. Compare that with something like the KZ ZS3 or some other IEMs, that may as well be earplugs in your ears with no music playing.
However, with music playing (even at a low volume), it drowns out the outside noises.
So, would I hear road worker was using a jackhammer to break up the road 10 feet away (and I was listening to music at a normal volume)? Absolutely.
If someone else in my relatively quiet house was watching TV in the same room (and I was listening to music), would I hear that? No.
Would I use these to mow the lawn? Nope.
But on you they could be totally different.
I wouldn’t buy them or not buy them based on isolation. I would buy them for the great sound for a cheap price.
