Sennheiser MX 170 reviews

Evaluation 5
Advantages: Great sound, low price.
Disadvantages: not found
Comment: Headphones are great. I have been using it for a month and a half, I bought them after reading reviews on the Yandex market for different budget models. I never thought that the usual budget "earbuds" can sound like that, there are basses, the sound is "transparent" - when you listen to music, you can hear individual instruments perfectly, you can sit comfortably in your ears, there is no discomfort for 4-5 hours. At a price of 290 rubles must have unequivocally.

EDIT: After 8 months of tough use, the sound in the left earpiece disappeared. Used every day on the street, wore in his pocket, slept in headphones, etc. - I think the result is wonderful. I got used to these headphones very much, I tried different headphones from different manufacturers, none of them liked either the sound, the convenience or the price. Today again bought the same.

Advantages: GOOD sounding headphones for your price. For those who want and love to listen to background music.
Disadvantages: a little stupid middle, in the region of 600 Hz. flat and harmonics.
Comment: In general, better than these headphones in the category of "liners" is only the MX375 West. Here is a normal (I emphasize - normal, but not a tuts-Kats-tuts-Kats with a bouncing brain) sound, an infinitely low price. Suitable for anyone who prefers to listen to background music on the street, in the subway, and more. Particularly happy will be those who do not fit in-channel (vacuum) headphones for various reasons. Everything is heard, not hypertrophied, without obvious failures. In general, it is normal. The main definition is that nothing interferes with or annoys the sound of these headphones. Just go with the sound in your head.

Advantages: Reliable and durable. Half a year of neat but vigorous exploitation several hours a day is still no problem, and looks like it just came from the store.

The wire is thick and harsh, but it's rather good, not so inclined to get confused.

Equal frequency response, even the equalizer does not need to align anything.

The bass at the very bottom of the range is good. The sound is as if you are sitting in a concert hall, or near a good music center. Really REAL sound, when I listen to the radio on the street and the DJs start a dialogue, sometimes it seems that someone nearby has said something nearby. I didn’t have such presence effect in any other headphones!

They do not isolate from extraneous sounds, who like me and I consider it a plus, it is safer to walk down the street.
Disadvantages: In the mid and high frequencies there is still some promiscuity. Electric guitars do not sound clearly, rock and metal are better to listen to in something else, Philips SHE 2550 for example.

The wire in the cold dubeet.
Comment: After six months of operation, decided to rewrite the review. During this time, compared these headphones with Philips, Sony, Koss - these are the best! Others are sometimes superior in some ways, but in terms of the sum of the characteristics, Sennheiser is the best. You can't confuse this volume sound with anything else!

Impressed by the Sennheiser MX 170, I bought the monitor Sennheiser HD 180 and the plugs Sennheiser CX 200.

Advantages: Sound, bass, in the lower part of the connected wire, do not get confused. Zbs ears, one of the best budget models.
Disadvantages: alas, they are not
Comment: I bought the ears of the Explay MPH-520 model, I listened for 1 day, my ears ached after them, the low frequencies were not heard at all ... the sound was kind of muffled, came to the store and hung them noodles on the ears that the sound in the left earpiece disappears and was exchanged for these, Right now, I am satisfied

Advantages: Headphones, as written on the package, allow you to FEEL the music: sing all voices, all basses, etc.
do not jam. those. you can safely walk down the street and not be afraid that you will be shot down)))
And finally, BASES. I never thought that headphones for such a price can play so powerfully!

Advantages: This is a supper! We put mp3 Bitrate 320kbits and go, or when I have not heard such sound in the phones, even the radio plays differently. I use it in conjunction with lg A290, after listening to music, it seems that the other expensive models are already a marketing move, before listening to my ears for 700 rubles. and it was worse, but here all that 280rub is cheap and angry! Where is even better, for a mere mortal ?!)
Disadvantages: not
Comment: Everything is clear and clean: the bottom is shot as it should be, the middle is gorgeous - the voices are distinct, the top is juicy, but they do not whistle up, you can make out many sounds during the performance of songs, especially this model can be recommended for devices that do not have an equalizer, for example, as in my case because - this is a balance!

Advantages: Deep bass (sound at a height), price, workmanship.
Disadvantages: For the price? : D
Comment: Experience using 2 days. If honestly it was bought as a "temporary" gag. But I think that I will leave these surprised.)
Before that, I used the standard samsung u5 headphones from the kit. Compared with them, heaven and earth. I did not expect from headphones for such a price such a wonderful sound!
Headphones sit firmly in the ear, the surrounding sounds are almost not audible. The ears do not get tired after 2 hours of listening. By design, everything is okay, pleased. The wire is quite thick.
I recommend it to everyone, great ears.
PS Not too critical, but the l-shaped plug is not a very wise decision. In your pocket constantly bends over in this place.

Advantages: -excellent sound, exceptionally strong bass (for open);
- reliability, durability;
-Y-off pin;
- parolonnovy overlays.
Disadvantages: -Just for a tick, the clip would not interfere.
Comment: Somehow in 2010 I chose the neighboring model mx160. Since there was an opportunity to listen to all the headphones available in the store, the choice immediately fell on these. The myth of the absence of good bass in the overhead headphones turned out to be completely dispelled, in addition, they sounded objectively more pleasant and cleaner than everyone, including the closed and plug-in ones. In addition, my player has a side socket, and the usual pin in my pocket would just break off. In the future, the headphones did not cease to amaze me. Compared to expensive full-size ones, they were only slightly inferior in the bass area, the service life was nearly two years (one earphone contact disappeared near the pin), which in four covers the average lifetimes of my previous headphones (there were quite a few).
Therefore, in the choice of the following headphones, the question did not arise, especially since the mx170 does not differ from anything except the finished bass and the presence of password-coated overlays (now they will not fall out).

Advantages: Good sound
Comfortably seated in the ears
Disadvantages: not found
Comment: Before that, there were "Fischer Audio" thought that there is a good sound. But having broken them (when getting up from the table they caught on him and one “ear” came off), I bought myself the MX 170.Here the sound is really good! No, if you compare with large headphones, then of course they are inferior, but for its class - just a class! Later Ipod appeared, his native headphones are not much better! I only listen to Sennheiser! They even seem to have quite decent low frequencies! Highs are also good as on all in-ear headphones. Middle frequencies complete the picture))). The sound hardly loses detail! In general, I advise everyone!

Advantages: Sound. I really liked. Testing on different styles, everything transmits sufficiently high quality, clean, rich.
The design is quite interesting, stylish. The combination of matte plastic cover with glossy gives a solid look.
Already talked about the label on the left speaker, it is +
I personally like the L-shaped plug more, since it is more convenient in my pocket and the wire does not bend over.
The cord is of normal thickness, not thin, probably strong.
The quality of the material and assembly is excellent.
Disadvantages: I do not like symmetrical. It is more convenient when you lay one wire behind the neck.
I see no more flaws.
Comment: I bought a familiar girlfriend as a gift. I chose a long time, as for myself. But I did not want to buy these, but some colored ones and on a string. I did not find what I was looking for, but I saw these by chance, I recalled the favorable reviews about this company, I was surprised at the price and took them. I tested it at home, I was very pleased, but the girl is unlikely to appreciate them, which is a pity ...
If you need a sound, and within 350r. - take them, you will not regret.
