I've only had mine for a day so far, so I can't comment on build quality (though compared to the J2s they seem to be of much better build quality).
I can tell you that they do work with a non-mic device. Right now I'm listening to them (as well as for about 9 hours earlier today) using my Sansa c240 without any problems.
Also a suggestion: if you find that you either need more tips for them (or if one or both of the tips doesn't fit your ears right - their tips didn't fit in my left ear properly and started to become uncomfortable after about an hour of use) the J2 tips fit perfectly on them. I just swapped mine out about 30 minutes ago
Originally Posted by InspireD /img/forum/go_quote.gif Hi NE-7 owners, My pair of J2's just broke and I was looking at these Nuforce's to take their place as an iem to take with me while I'm out and about. While I have no question that their sound quality will be significantly better, I did have some questions regarding their build quality. Unfortunately, this thread is too large to navigate for single answers. And most of the comments are regarding their sound. So would the ne-7's work fine as a work out iem? Has anyone had problems with their build quality? Obviously I will treat them with a lot of care, but should I have any concerns if I'm bringing them around with me and using them everyday? Oh, and just to make sure: the larger plug due to the mic will work fine with a non-mic compatible device right? I will use these with a First Gen iPod touch. And while the controls won't work, it should fit fine? Looking forward to some answers... Thanks guys |
