Audio quality
To gauge the audio quality of the headphone, I dug out my iPod 5G and a set of Philips in-ear headset ($25 usd). I use a couple of songs I really enjoy: Desperado (Live), Hotel California (Live) by The Eagles (Hell Freezes Over album).
Here is what I did to compare. I played the songs from my iMac, with the Philips and BH-905 plugged-in. I then tried the same with the iPod 5G and finally, the E71 (with the supplied converter plug). I found the Philips provides a cleaner sound whereas the BH-905 seems to be softer as if there is a cloth covering it. The Philips also gives more detail, has a more punchy base and comes across as crispier. To ensure I am not biased, I had my wife tried, she also confirms this observation. I am somewhat disappointed with the result as I had set my expectation with Nokia’s marketing material.
More to come…
