I have owned three pairs of earbuds in the last several years... a pair of Shure e2s, which cost (if my recollection is correct) in the neighborhood of $100 and still work, a pair of Monster Turbine Golds, which I believe cost approximately $350 and lasted about three years before one bud lost volume, and now these Sennheiser I60s which almost tickle the $200 price point. The Shures are a fine earphone for their price but they are simply not in the same league as the Monsters, which offer a significantly more open, natural, smooth and well-defined sound. Well, sure, the Monsters cost more than three times as much! But they are discontinued now.
With the Sennheisers I thought I might save some jack but still get an audiophile-pleasing sound. I use these earphones principally in the gym, where there is a lot of ambient noise (including my own heavy breathing and tromping) and the ever present possibility of earbud abuse. So spending a lot of money seemed like maybe not the best idea. Now that I've tried them I'm not so sure.
First, I wish all manufacturers of higher end earbuds would use non-tangling cords. These products should be made for people on the go. The Sennheiser does not have them, although the wire coating is very slick and therefore easier to detangle.
As far as the sound goes... the IE60s do NOT have the natural, clearly defined and open sound of the Monsters. They do not deliver the same degree of high end extension or clarity, nor are they as deep and tight in the bass. They seem to be mid-range forward, including the lower mid-range which can give the impression of better bass response without actually delivering. They sound as though Sennheiser has tried to create an exciting, live sound to please folks raised on Beats and Bose. I prefer them to the Shure e2s but they are inferior to the Monster Turbine Golds. The sound reminds me of the "vivid" setting on a flat panel TV... yes, it excites the eyes in the store but it is not realistic. And that's fine... right in line with the different price points. You get what you pay for. And many people will prefer the forward sound of the IE60s to the Monsters. You should buy what you like. They are certain to be a big improvement over the buds that came with your device.
The thing with bass response is that I use them in the gym, so while I start out with a good seal (necessary to deliver bass with earbuds) all the activity tends to loosen them in my ears and I spend most of my time bass-deficient, no matter how good the buds are. Here's where the Sennheisers performed very well: the buds are surprisingly small and they nestled comfortably and securely in the well of my outer ear canal, which tended to keep them from slipping. Thus I did not suffer any diminished sound quality as I exercised. Good ergometrics! The Sennheiser IE60 comes with three different size earbuds, as well as two slightly different shapes.
Someone commented that the buds don't seem very robust. True, they give that impression. The wires are thin and the buds are plastic and small. However, as I said the small buds are actually a positive, and as for the wires... time will tell.
Bottom line: These earbuds have their flaws but for the price they deliver good value and a sound that many will find pleasing. Audiophiles with big enough wallets may want a more refined sound.
Addendum: I have owned these now for over a year and am still enjoying them. I questioned the durability but have had no problems -- they've stood up fine to abuse I've given them. The price as I'm writing this has dropped to around $120 which makes them an excellent value.
Just bought Comply memory foam tips. Enjoying greatly improved comfort, external sound isolation, and much better bass response and detail. It's possible to get a more air tight fit with the memory foam and that's what improves the bass.
Oops, the Comply tips have had an unexpected negative side effect. They are sticky and tight and that means that levering them in and out of my ears stressed the plastic stem on the buds and one of them just broke. I was able to superglue it back. I will continue to use the Complys but with much greater care taking them in and out of my ears.
These babies survived 2 washer and dryer cycles and still worked. I used them every day for about 2 and a half years, and they finally broke. To those who have had ear buds before, 2 and a half years with regular to extreme use is commendable.
Sound quality is very smooth and clear. Base isn't AMAZING BASE BLASTING but its very much present and not overwhelming as bass should be. You feel the bass on the top of your spine. They are also high end DAC friendly.
Could have a non-tangle cord, removable buds, a volume adjuster, but it doesn't. They're $90 and that's mid range ear buds and you get what you pay for.
I respect these earbuds and bought them again because they well outlasted the warranty.
As for the sound quality it is pretty decent. It's a little bit bass heavy but not distorted so I don't mind too much. The mids are a little bit lackluster but not overly so.
They're pretty comfortable once you get used to them. The first week my ears hurt from the plastic drum piece sitting in there. Now I can wear them for hours without a problem.
Noise cancellation is decent but not great. Even tried them with the comply noise cancellation tips (I actually prefer the olives that come with them) but you still have to crank your volume up on the subway. Something I didn't have to do with my Thinksound earbuds.
I have also been noticing lately that one of the channels goes our (or perhaps just gets muffled) when I shift around a lot. Still trying to figure out the source. It's probably either a faulty wire connection or it's the position of the olive tips. They have such a narrow cone that it could be that when I shift the cone gets blocked by another part of my ear. Will update if I find out more.

Was die Robustheit bzw. Haltbarkeit angeht, bin ich immer mehr erstaunt. Ich habe das Produkt vor fast dreieinhalb Jahren (!) gekauft, vor gut einem Jahr habe ich versehentlich mein Arbeitsmesser nicht in seine Schutzhülle gesteckt und es hat während des Arbeitstages an mehreren Stellen Bekanntschaft mit der Ummantelung der Kabel gemacht. Noch dazu habe ich danach die Kopfhörer mittlerweile mindestens zwei mal versehentlich mitgewaschen (in der Waschmaschine bei 30°C und 40°C)!
KEINE Auswirkungen. Kein Wackelkontakt, keine Minderung der Klangqualität, keine (zusätzlichen...) äußeren Beschädigungen, auch nicht nach weiterer mechanischer Belastung wie das Fallenlassen des Smartphones, während die Kophörer angesteckt waren usw.. Zwar sehen die Kabel jetzt mitleiderregend aus, jedoch funktionieren sie noch eben so gut wie direkt nach dem Kauf.
Uneingeschränkte Kaufempfehlung meinerseits...
舞台用の音響設備が良かったので、惹かれて今まで2代続けてboseを使用していましたが、コードが溶け落ちるなど材質が悪すぎる(1代目)、タッチノイズが大きすぎて使用に耐えられない(2代目)など散々でした。
購入はAKGかゼンハイザーかを迷ったのですが、これに決めました。音質や再現性や使用感などは、好みの問題なのでグダグダ書きませんが、良い品だと思います。
