Review on 🎧 SAMSUNG Corded Type-C Earphones: Enhanced Audio Experience in White (EO-IC100BWEGUS) by Soo Chang ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

Even with all their flaws, I've become accustomed to these headphones' sound and find that others in their price range now seem "muddy" in comparison. Even in the most banal of the pieces, subtleties that had never been heard before were audible. Listen to them at home, away from the distractions of the street or the train, to fully appreciate what they have to offer. By using the kit's largest nozzles, the sound quality was vastly enhanced, as if an equalization had been used to increase midrange and bass. It could be that my perception has changed, but I noticed an improvement in the toppers' sound quality after a couple of months (either that, or my hearing has deteriorated).

Pros
  • Excellent quality braided wire. Well-designed in terms of user comfort. They fit comfortably under a hat, so you won't wake up with sore ears from sleeping in them. The sound is noticeably more detailed than through the 3.5 mm jack (the company claims this is because of the included digital to analog converter; DAC).
Cons
  • Strong high-frequency distortions ruin the experience, but fans of hearing the pick strike the strings and the magnetic tape hiss will appreciate the tops. Pop and rock songs, in contrast to jazz and acoustic music, are like a saw of sibilants, cutting through the ear canal. There is a lack of "meat," or low- to mid-level bass. Highs predominate over lows, creating what we'll call "an amateur" sound. The headset does not work for phone calls or instant messaging on the Samsung A30 and A50. There's still hope that Samsung's first-generation phones will be improved at some point in the future.
