What's up guys! Lew here back with another video.
And this is a follow up to the previous video,
The top 5 reasons to choose over-ear headphones.
when compared to in-ear
This one is dedicated to the top 5 reasons that
you might choose in-ear headphones
Instead of over-ear,
In front of me I have some
exclusives once again from Massdrop
also from HiFiMAN
these are a re-release they're called the
RE-00
essentially what we're looking at just like over-ear
model is a heavily
reduced price to go
along with the influx of demand
in orders that'll come in from you guys
so this is all metal construction
9mm driver
you've got a braided style cable
couple of different eartips
if you wanna check that out link in the description
you can go ahead and participate
5 reasons you wanna choose in-ear headphones
when compared to over-ear
Number one
Travel. These are tiny, alright
This might seem obvious to you but
This is gonna go in anything
A pocket, a bag. It's gonna go with you
with you and you're not even gonna notice it BUT
The other reason travelwise
I've been on certain airlines where when you're about to take off they're like
"Hey dude with the big over-ear headphones! You're obnoxious, this is dangerous"
God knows what their reasoning is but often they force me to switch
to in-ear style headphones.
So if you're on the move and you want something that can fit in your pocket
purse or bag, in-ear is the way to go.
Number two
Smaller drivers, smaller speaker units
That fit closer to your eardrum
Don't require as much power to be amplified
So in general, in-ear headphones are gonna be easier to drive
you won't necessarily need a
outboard amplifier or any kind of fancy gear just plug these babies into your
smartphone and experience what they were designed to do
reproduce sound from a tiny little headphone jack and amplifier number
three
exercise activity
jogging lifting weights Jack doing the BodyPump obviously these are going to be
more convenient for most people don't have to be as worried about them falling
off of your head on over ear headphones get heated up you're sweatin'
it's covering I hate being hot, i keep the AC in here on freeze mode jack hates it number four...
Price these guys here as I said are about 35 bucks just over $30 and in exchange for
quite surprising sound quality at least in the case of this particular model
usually when you step into the realm of over years you're gonna pay a little bit
more so if you're looking to getting at a low price point generally speaking in
ears will deliver more for less
point number five is an interesting word isn't even a word inconspicuousness
yeah sure why not
this is like stealth mode you're walking around your grocery store maybe you're
in class I didn't tell you to do it you know have your little secret agent like
style while you listen to your tunes some people just don't like the style of
having giant headphones on and i can understand that these just blend in
better so there you have it the top five reasons to choose in ear headphones but
I will say in conclusion is no perfect headphone obviously and if your guy like
me or a guy like you if you're an enthusiast chances are you probably
want to have a pair of each this happens to be an awesome opportunity to get two
cool pairs of headphones, some in-ears and some over-ears from HiFiMan the
quantities are limited as I said before special collaboration between mass drop
HiFiMan and unbox therapy if you want to learn more
the links are in the description I think you guys are gonna get great value out of these 2
headphone options for an open back over-ear and an in-ear
there you have it
