Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Able Planet Clear Harmony Over the Head Stereo Headphones
Customer Review: For $7.99, these are just amazing. 5 stars.
Summary: 5 Stars
As I sit at my computer listening to classical music while I type, I'm still wondering at the price of these headphones. These are far, far better than the cheap stock earbuds and headphones you'd get with most mp3 or CD players; they're more substantial, they have a balanced and smooth, rich sound that at first seems a bit muffled (but when turned up, never distorts -- even at higher volumes, sound effects, etc.), and the cord includes a volume control.
These are on-ear 'phones and so the sound tends to be more 'outdoors' rather than the cup or earbud styles. In addition to being safer for your hearing, I prefer this kind of open sound -- likely helped by the mesh on the cans themselves (see picture) rather than a closed design. The point of contact is foam and while I initially thought they were a bit tight (my skull is wide), they feel fine and don't slide at all. Able Planet has struck a good balance of form and function. The cord has a removable, gold adapter to allow for the two sizes of headphones inputs and it fits snugly.
These headphones feature what Able Planet calls its "Linx Audio" technology. Basically, it reduces the main frequency we hear and increases the harmonic frequencies, thus reducing distortion, cleaning the sound by reducing unwanted noise such as boom and hiss, and being safer for the listener's hearing. I'm not a sound engineer, but my ears tell me it appears to work as advertised. I can hear every instrument in a symphony orchestra clearly no matter the range.
Everything about these headphones speaks of a quality product, especially the sound. I have a pair of Sennheiser supra-aural headphones that are perhaps only minimally better, but cost about 4 times this price (and that was on sale). For $7.99, I intend to buy at least one more pair.
Very highly recommended.
(These look almost identical to the Koss KTXpro1 headphones.)
Description of Able Planet Clear Harmony Over the Head Stereo Headphones
"Words and music are composed to be heard by everyone, and the ideal performance for high end audio is the accurate reproduction of the Live experience. Current audio technologies struggle to replicate this experience, because fuller sounds can mask high tones making speech and music sound muddled. Additionally, people with hearing loss need specialized designs to enhance sounds that are difficult to hear. Able Planet is the first company to design innovative audio and communication products For All Levels of HearingT. Linx AudioT creates a live experience with full rich base sounds, clear high tones and intelligible speech. Clear Harmony Stereo Headphones provide Fuller and Richer Sounds for individuals with normal hearing to those with mild to moderate loss. Able Planet headphones can be used with or without hearing aids and do not require a switching system, making it possible for individuals with all levels of hearing to use the same headphones.
