Listening with Carrefour  !! earbuds  (Ipod compatible /EAR 23 )




You know  my interest in using low priced earphones . Most of the older mentioned  earphones   I found were on the range  to Eu 20 (USD 24 ) mostly from the best  committed  earphones companies (as AKG , Sennheiser  etc) Nowadays , not due mainly to crisis but  for low budget reasons I prefer to look into earphones of even lower cost.

Several months ago while shopping in Carrefour, I found  one budget priced earphone that immediately bought  It is priced only €4.5 (ca $5.7) under their brand name ,and thought  that  it could be just of low quality one . But I was wrong !!

Several months later , ie recently  I took the interest to check it .

As you see from the above photo this has been made in a nice plastic case that is very hard be open . I have to use a knife! to open its case and remove the lid over the cable




And here is the S/N number. You can  seldom find a prodict of Chinese origin  having a serial number




Once the  case is opened you can find a short instructions guide on the bottom  part togethe rwith th remain cabling



The earphones  are inside a nice plastic frame with very nice design . You need a tool in order to remove the cable from its base

As you see the earphones  have a nice  design and are made with the lightweight  plastic. The plug is a bit thicker than the normal as in  several stereo sockets is quite difficult to connect.

And now about the  sound: IN contrast to what I ‘expected’  the sound is very nice with rich audio

Tested  with my other top earphones  I found:

Above is the set test.  I Used the Bolong radio  in order to make serial (each stereo set separately )or parallel listening (using one from the one and one form the other set ) Don't forget to look at the 1:2  audio splitter in the bottom left part of the radio (near to its loudpeaker ) that connects to two earphone plugs

Using in parallel and serial  with AKG 315 . It has about 2 db lower audio.  Less bass but same treble . In parallel , all sound is on the middle. But the bass is  spilled towards the AKG  buds.

Using it in parallel and serial with the Sony MDR Earphones ..The Carrefour earphone  has lower audio than  the Sony counterpart. In order to parallel  test  I had to put the ear bud outwards  a little outside fr having a centered sound. And here  the results are nearly the  same but in reverse ! The basses are spilled  towards the C/four ear buds while all other sounds are in the middle

Tested  in Muvi 18  I found the level to be 4 steps higher

As in result  the earphones  are great with rich sound , though a bit of lower audio  level . recommended for their price at least for this set. I m thinking now to check a second set

There are also several more pictures ,that are in the open.
