Apple in-ear headphones with remote and mic

September 10, 2008 @ 12:36 am

I’m waiting for reviews of these in-ear headphones to come through. I want to know if the “two drivers in each earpiece” makes any difference to sound quality.

Do normal in-ear headphones have two drivers, one that serves as a woofer and the other as a tweeter? I’m hoping that these sound really good, because if they do, then $79 is a great price.

    higher end earphones have 2 drivers. most budget-priced earphones just have one. i think norman has had 2-driver hearphones. it should make a difference.

    no black???

    oh, and i’m noticing that silicon piece of some in-ear headphones these days are starting to have a tighter-sized hole.

    and i know you have no control of this, but your ads have been a little R-rated today. not a good thing when 6 women sit behind me.

    si-mongchacha, i guess goofing off at work is OK… as long as you’re not browsing sites w/ R-rated ads?!

    this will be the lowest priced earphone with 2 drivers. technically, 2 should sound better than 1, but if they pick low quality drivers, then a good quality 1 driver earphone will sound better.

    Even if they have 2 drivers, the sound will be pretty much the same. the only difference would be that you will obtain a wider frequency range of sound than the standard 1 driver earphones, which means that you’ll hear the treble more sharp, and the bass more deep, whereas the midrange vocals will be less clear. so technically if your looking for either louder sound or deeper bass, i’d say buy the 2 driver earphones.
