Costumer Reviews
I received these in December as part of the Amazon Vine program. I typically use these types of headphones, because they don't hurt my ears and noise isolation is pretty essential to me, as I use my iPod mostly in a loud gym and on a noisy public transportation system.
First, the good news: These are the best at noise reduction of any headphones I've ever tried. I literally could not hear anything outside of the music/podcast playing. They were almost too good -- if I didn't have my metro stop memorized, I could easily miss it because I truly could not hear the stops being announced.
Next, the bad news: They appear to have broken already. I keep having to twist and turn the input jack to get adequate sound; otherwise it's prone to funky audio. And today I had an issue with static/interference on the right ear. It seemed to go away later - maybe because I was manipulating the jack to otherwise correct the audio - but I'm not counting on it staying away.
Maybe I just got a weird pair? I don't know -- but I'd definitely look to other reviews to see if there are similar problems being reported before I pay the $75+ for these. 6 weeks is not enough time to justify having these kinds of issues.
If you haven't already done so, read the first review of these earphones by Andrew Lawrence for the most comprehensive and definitive review. Read the others for confirmation or development of a consensus.
I like how Logitech packages their earphones, They're wrapped carefully in a soft enclosure so that the cords come out tangle free. An attractive, hard plastic storage case is included as are extra ear pieces in five sizes and two sets of foam tips to block out maximum noise.
At first I wasn't very impressed with these earphones. I used them on my desktop and laptop computers, comparing them over and over to the speakers and a pair of twenty dollar earphones. Try as I might I couldn't tell if the Logitech earphones were that much better. Then I read the first review here and remembered that I had to "burn in" my other pair of earbuds also. I hooked up the Logitechs to my desktop, clicked play all on my music folder, turned up the volume, and walked away.
I tried my comparison tests again. This time I could hear noticeable differences. With the Logitech I could hear a quality and subtleness not evident with my small Bose shelftop speakers or two other pairs of earphones. The clarity of instruments and background sounds is remarkable; sounds that weren't even evident before are now prominent.
Especially appealing to me is the noise-isolating feature. Sitting next to the kitchen television, I couldn't make out any of the muffled words from the television characters, words that seemed to be coming from the next room.
Mrs. Spudman was speaking to me during my sound experiment. I could see her lips moving but could't hear her. I just waved to her and smiled. Nice! Very nice!
If you are a dedicated audiophile, you may not mind spending 80 to a hundred dollars for a pair of quality earphones and will probably be very happy with these. I, on the other hand, though I can appreciate the quality and nuances of these Logitech phones would be just as content with a pair of middling earphones.
As good as the sound produced from these Logitechs may be, it is not so outstanding as to make this a must have product. For me at least.
I tested the Logitech ultimate ears on my top of the line HP notebook, an HP desktop, and my daughter's Ipod.
