We previously reviewed the JBL S100 and S200 in-ear monitors from JBL and found them decent but a bit expensive for the sound quality that they offer. Now we have the other IEM line which happens to be a bit cheaper but how does it sound compared to the previous earphone line? We will know in this review.
We love the Beyerdynamic DT1350 and feel it’s still one of the best portable headphones available around. The street price has dropped due to a release of a newer “facelift version” (as they call it) but nonetheless, the old version is still one of the best as it’s able to do a lot of things that a portable headphone must do.
Here at Headphone.ph, we love reviewing headphones and other audio equipment. How much you may ask? We love it that we’re willing to pay for your headphone to get them reviewed here! Yes, you heard that right but there are going to be some guidelines that we need to lay here first before we can begin.
If you think we’re done with JBL headphones and earphones then you are definitely not correct. 🙂 When we reviewed our first IEM from JBL last week, we were just getting started. The S100 is definitely not a bad in-ear monitor and in this review, we will see how far of an improvement the S200 is from the S100.
Oppo Electronics is more known for making LCD TVs, portable media players and of course high-end mobile devices. It is therefore surprising that they’ve released their first headphone recently but it’s not the typical consumer-end type of product. Having it priced at over $1,000, the Oppo PM-1 certainly raised some eyebrows.
JBL’s entry into the consumer headphone market is not to be understated. The number of headphones and earphones (plus variations) that they produced in the past year or so speak volumes of how serious they are into getting their names out again for this market. We are fortunate to be offered some of them for review purposes and currently we have their IEMs at hand. For starters, we have the JBL S100.
Sony sent us three headphones some time ago. One was the MDR-1R, the other one was the basshead XB920, and the last one is this headphone, the V55. We instantly figured out that this headphone is the less celebrated among the three based on how it looked. But how does it fare sound-wise? We’ll find out in this review.
V-Moda M80 was a big hit when it was released and is still considered as one of top on-ear headphones available today (it’s even recommended by us here!). It was therefore not surprising that V-Moda attempted to improve on it even more and they do so by making sure that their customers’ feedback are considered.
