I'm trying to get the best deal on new headphones, so I figure I should ask here. Mainly what I'm looking for is a pair of earbuds, but other sugestions are welcome.
Seinnheiser MX-550's.
What really impresses me are the tech specs.
Impedance 16 Ohm
Cable length 1 m
Frequency response 18Hz - 21kHz
Sound pressure level (SPL) 123dB(SPL)/1mW
Ear coupling intraaural
Jack plug 3,5 mm stereo
Transducer principle dynamic, open
Okay, do I have a good deal here or what? Pricing is about 25$. Alternatives would be much appreciated, however, I have compared the 550's to the 500's, and I'm getting mixed messages from reviews about their sound quality as far as bass response is concerned. Which is truly the better earbud?
550: http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser...sf/root/500231
500: http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser...nsf/root/04854
I already know that the sound is great, but my main concern is bass...
EDIT: Reading more about it, bass seems to be lacking in the 500's, and there are no reviews of the 550's.... maybe I should consider another type of headphone?
