Sound explained

Sound pressure, decibel and Hz

Sound is an invisible vibration composed of frequencies which travel in undulations known as sound waves. The amplitude of vibration produced by an object such as a speaker driver is proportional to the change of pressure generated as the wave moves through the medium which surrounds it (such as air). Therefore, the amplitude of a sound wave is commonly measured by its pressure level.

The decibel is a non-dimensional, logarithmic scale to denote a relative change in the strength of a signal or wave. When placed in the context of sound pressure level; it measures the nominal threshold of human hearing, relative to the quietest sound audible to the human ear.

The frequency of instances where a sound wave reaches its peak during a period of time is measured in Hz (hertz). This is the number of complete cycles per second. Human hearing is limited to frequencies between about 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz.

Sensitivity and impedance

Earphone sensitivity is measured in Sound Pressure Level (SPL). This is essentially a measurement of how loud or easily driven a pair of earphones is. The sensitivity is also influenced by the drivers’ coil impedance which varies over the frequency range. The higher the SPL and the lower the impedance the more easily driven your earphones will be.

2.0 out of 5 stars Would be great if they lasted... 26 Jun 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Love the sound, the fit, and the tangle-free cable, but the (strangely large) connector to the 3.5mm jack is the weak point. Mine lasted 7 months of regular use (with no rough treatment) before the sound started to drop in one ear. Looking at other reviews this seems to be common.

The manufacturer really needs to address this issue - they have a great product that simply doesn't last long enough.

I'll be trying to return mine under the warranty, but don't hold out much hope that replacements will last longer...

These are some very good earphones - in principle. The sound is excellent for the price, the tangle-free cable really works, they're very comfortable and come with a large number of silicon adapters for ears of all sorts. They also stop working after about six month's use.

I first bought a pair of these in December 2010, and was very pleased with them, and used them every day until May. At this point, the sound started to fail in one of earpieces. Playing with them, the weak spot appears to be where the 3.5mm jack meets the cable. There's a picture in the product gallery. Eventually, through everyday use, strains on this joint cause the internal wiring to break and stop working.

I had these replaced under the warranty in May 2011, and as of yesterday (Oct 2011) the replacement pair have started to fail in the same way. I still have a month left on the warranty, but at this point I think it's better to invest in something more sturdily constructed.

As much as I want to love these, electronics should really last more than six months. A shame.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good 'Phones 10 May 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
To start with, the case these earphones arrive in would probably survive a house falling on it. It's that solid. For me personally, the phones themselves are a big step up in comfort from the Apple jobbies supplied with my ipod touch and the sound is better too. A good selection of rubber earpieces is supplied to ensure you get a decent fit. The flat tangle-free cable is also a nice touch. For the money, these earphones are great value.
