Zero Audio-ear stereo headphone carbo Tenore ZH-DX200-CT

Sound quality is really good and the plugs do a great job of blocking outside noises...BUT, I'm not sure if it's a manufacturing issue, these cables seem sensitive and tend to make my earphones imbalanced/lose their power from one side or both. If I wiggle my earphones slightly they might not work at all. This is a big issue seeing as I've paid £35 for these, but then again I might be the fool to have taken the gamble.Mind you, from the date of my purchase (not even a week) and I'm already experiencing these issues. Durability is disappointing over all.Buy at your own risk.

Really great sound for the price. I found these from a review on The Verge, coupled with some rave reviews from some people I trust on Twitter, and was not disappointed. The headphone jack in particular has a really high quality feel, and is probably the smallest jack I've ever seen. It's a 90 degree connector, but doesn't feel like it'll fall apart with lots of use, like my old Sennheiser jack did.

There are really only two things you need to know about the earphones.The first is that my pair died after just over a year of moderate-to-heavy use. One of the buds just doesn't produce sound any more; I can get it to flicker back on a bit by wiggling the cable, but have been unable to properly fix it.The second is that, despite this rather short lifespan and the high cost, I'm still planning to get another pair.True, it's not great value for money, but the quality of sound and ear-comfort on these is hard to overstate for someone who's only ever used cheap/device-included earbuds before. Decent sound quality on my headphones is something that I never realised I needed until I tried it, and as someone who wears them for multiple hours daily, I think it's worth the money purely as a QoL investment. Yes, you can get an alternative for a tenth of the price, but these are genuinely worth the extra cost if you use them a lot.So, a cautious recommendation from me, the generic disclaimers regarding personal circumstances and use-cases notwithstanding.

They work great while it lasts.The sound is great and well defined. Great bass and well balanced overall soundThe cable went after 6 months and can't be fixed.So this has become another item in the bin.Used it on my phone while at work so was a 5 days/week use with no great stress to the cable that could justify the cable to get damaged. Just get real and make it properly lasting.

-Great product at this price range!Feels great to wear and they feel sturdy despite the fact that they are made solely from plastic.The phones sounds to bright for professional use, but the separation is excellent.You guys should make professional headphones for mixing engineers and for Hifi nerds.I think you could make a difference and grab a peace of the market place with your fine products and price range.Good luck with your company and in inventing new products.All the best!/Lasse

Sound quality: Wonderful earphones with incredibly responsive bass.Durability: I have been using them for about 6 months now, without any issues in terms of durability however, I cannot imagine they would survive any particularly stressful incidents.Other factors: These earphones have a slightly shorter than average cable length - enough to go from my trouser / jeans' pocket to my ears, but without much slack to spare.

Glad I followed recommendations on these, they're significantly better than the old SoundMagic E50s I was using. One issue I had is that the filters do not cope very well with moisture and may become clogged up; I had to remove the filters upon realising that one side was significantly quieter than the other.Don't pay attention to the extreme hype, they aren't going to replace vastly more expensive enthusiast or professional gear, but these are still great value.

Bought in April and the left earphone was broken by September. Used these earphones for around an hour and a half three days a week at the gym. The sound quality was okay, never anything special but produced a neutral sound which I like. Really annoyed that they've broken after five months. Will be requesting a refund.
