Ratings & Reviews

  • Worth the extra $$$

    5.0 out of 5 stars

    I was in an Apple store and the associate was nice enough to take both of $99 and these out of the box to let me listen. The acous tically enhanced are very good and worth the extra money. You get a little bit nicer finish, better sound quality and an overall better body of work with these. The sound is great as I mentioned and the fit, controls, everything about these is fantastic. Very pleased.

    I love the Apple three button remote. It's so easy to adjust the volume and say, listen to what the captain or flight attendants a re saying mid-flight, rather than fumble for your phone, enter the password, and hit pause (that takes forever). The sound and fit are awesome. I really like these

    5.0 out of 5 stars

    I've compared headphones extensively, comparing these to Sony, Bose, Klipsch, Skullcandy and more and I can tell you that with the features you get, the sound quality, crisp highs and boom-boom bass, these are the best in price point. Sure you can go up and spend $300 and get slightly better sound, but audio is all about the law of diminishing returns. These are a great set that will suffice, more than suffice for 95% of the population.

  • muddy and over-compressed for the price

    1.0 out of 5 stars

    these earbuds look and feel great, and are built to be very sturdy. unfortunately, that's where the benefits end. i use a lot of d ifferent mid- and high-end earbuds to check mixes of recordings i've produced to get an idea of how most people will be hearing my tunes, and these just sound like garbage. very muddy low-mids, muffled highs and some sort of internal compression that absolutely kills the dynamics of any music (not just mine). they sound like my skull candy buds. for the price, don't buy these. the apple in-ears are much more realistic (though build quality isn't great; same thin cabling and joinders as ipod earbuds), and the shures are breathtaking.

  • Amazingly! Perfect!

    5.0 out of 5 stars

    I first bought the HK CL. Amazing set of cans. Sound is perfect. Unfortunately i had to return it as it was overly uncomfortable. I tried to adapt for a week as i really didn't want to return but it became unbearable.

    I then exchanged it for the bowers & wilkins c5. Nothing compared to the HL. Burned them in for a couple of days, still didn't sound half as good. For the price tag,i found it so disappointing.

    Came back a third time to the store & took the HK AE. Fell in love the moment i tried them on. I used comfy tips & sounded heavenly right off the box. Sound is crisp & balanced. Bass doesn't explode in your ears but doesn't sound flat either. I highly recommend. HK sound rules! Perfectly priced too.

    I purchased these to replace a pair of Klipsch that had failed for the second time. I like the way they fit and acoustically, they 're very good.

    The bad part is that after less than 4 months, the volume control's failed. I've requested a replacement, but it hasn't arrived yet.

    From the spec sheet, it looks like these headphones have a longer cable, come with foam tips in addi tion to the standard silicone tips, and most importantly, use balanced armature drivers compared to dynamic ones in the NI's. I'm assuming there's just one driver per ear, but so far, that's been more than adequate for producing a nice, full sound unlike the bass-lacking apple in-ears I traded up from.
