ADVANCED SOUND GROUP ADV. Model 2 Stage in-Ear Monitor Earphones Musician IEM Recording Performance Headphones Memory Wire Sweatproof Secure-Fit [Mobile Edition]

My order somehow got lost, unfortunately. However, I reached out to the guys at Advanced and they quickly sent me another set right away. Kudos to their customer service for resolving issues in a timely manner. Hard to find great customer service these days.Now let's get into the S2000. It comes with extra ear-gels and a pouch in a nice small package. Love the balanced sound output these ear-phones have. It's not too bassy nor does it have that weird tinny sounds you get from other similar earphones at this price range. I especially liked how it sounds with electronica and dark progressive music. It picks up the synth, vocals, ​and background sound very crisp and sharp. I didn't notice any distortion at high volume which is impressive for an earphone at this price point. You are getting a bang for the buck. If I had a complaint, I would just want a little more thump when hearing the drum tracks whether it be HIP-HOP or electronica music. Just a preference of mine. Otherwise, these ear-phones are legit.The fitting is another bonus for me. These are gentle and fit snugly around my ear without moving. I do a log of jogging and found the earphones in place without loosening during my run. The in-line mic is pretty clear so far when I tried it. Still, have to try it in different environments, I'll post updates when I get to it.People were able to hear me without having me scream into the mic. I find the mic placement interesting on the right side as it doesn't get stuck on my collar when turning my head while driving. Most ear-phones have the mic on the left side much lower than when you move around, it picks up the sounds of movement distracting the person on the other end. I didn't encounter these problems with my S2000.For now, I am a fan of these guys and hope to see what they have in store for us. Keep up the great products, prices, and customer service.

The media could not be loaded.  I was in need of a new set of headphones and was looking for the best value I could get in this price-range so I thought I would give these a try. Now that I have had a chance to use them I think these fit the bill perfectly!When buying headphones, it's important for me that they sound great, are of high quality and will last a long time, and also that they are comfortable even under extreme conditions such as when working out.PROS:-Hi quality construction! These definitely are of higher quality than other headphones in this price-range. The multi-cord construction makes it very flexible while maintaining structural integrity. Durable enough for daily use in hot/humid environments.-Sound quality! I tested these headphones with all different types of music and the parts always came through clearly with distinct vocals. Bass was sufficient and better than expected for headphones of this price-range. Did not sound "tinny" as many headphones can, but was quite balanced.-Microphone feature - these headphones have a microphone for use with a cellphone.-Over-ear ergonomics - these headphones fit perfectly and the ear-buds remain in place even during extreme use. The over-ear and bud portions are extremely light-weight but due to the shape of the over-ear portion, they stay securely in place while jogging or exercising.-Include a variety of ear pieces to fit any sized ear.Cons: NoneIf you are looking for the best earphones in this price-range for sound quality and durability, I would definitely buy these!

First of all, this is a good, lightweight wired earbud design you can effortlessly tweak around the back of your head, in front, or whatever your requirement would be. Then you just lightly squeeze the over-ear adjustment back so it's resting on your ear - and then you can run many kilometers with them comfortably without constant adjustment after. There are several different ways to attach a clip to the wires, or the plastic welds, if you require that, but since the wire is sticky without being very heavy, you don't actually need it. The wire coil over your ear won't dig into your ears from the top, it doesn't turn into a wavy mess after bending it around a bit, and the earbud won't squeeze your auricle out and at some point feel like a bad earplug and things of that sort. Already here, you're getting more worth than $25 dollars.So it's a very thoughtful design, and they would be easy to recommend for training -- except for the fact that without an amp with effect that can drive a small model train for at least a few meters at a time, the sound is something akin to listening to a kitchen radio with bad reception, with a sheet of tinfoil draped over the speaker.Try playing it on your average phone dac, and it will produce a treble so sharp it can very likely actually cut rock, the middle range will essentially die, and the lower range will be gone save for a few grumbles once in a while. I've listened to under-amped speakers, headphones and even earbuds before, but this is something on an entirely new scale. Normally you would expect to get quiet sound with bad frequency response, and some lost mapping in the sound picture. But here you just get horrible sound, or loss of entire frequency ranges (presumably because there's one driver, or at least one large one). So you can't expect to get decent, or frankly even listenable sound in these on a low effect amp.With an amp, however, interesting things start to happen. The treble can certainly still cut rock eventually - but as you turn the sound up towards and probably over the pain treshold, the treble is slowly and warmly enveloped by the rest of the frequency spectrum. And you end up with something that neither strikes you as comfortable or particularly accurate - but that nevertheless is a sound picture that in the end is quite complete. Note as well that you need to run the model train for a good few hours before the rattling and grinding noises stop, and before you're left with a more even train track pressure, like tons of metal softly squishing the tracks at very high speed. Not comfortable, as explained, at least compared to walking in the forest - but comfortable as far as speedy train rides are concerned.Add that these are a closed design, that don't use trickery with a softer back to get a better holography, and it's all very mystifying. It's an unbelievably curious design. I've listened to many types of earbuds from all kinds of price ranges that are both more comfortable and that deliver a more complete sound picture in certain areas (and conditions - both earbuds and earclogs that leak, over small oversights or in truth conscious design flaws, can nevertheless be very accurate and complete if you wear them just the right way, and shade your ears on the right sunny monday, etc). On low volume, you can certainly also pick just about anything else from any bin, and you'll have better sound (including putting a bluetooth speaker in your pocket - it really is that bad).And yet - when you turn the volume up sufficiently high enough, and throw enough watts at these, they do light up in a very unexpected way. I have regretted expensive hifi purchases bitterly before - but getting this out of $25 dollars is ridiculous. Just that they exist makes a lot of recognized "hi-fi" brands pathetically laughable. Because - although it is in a very specific context - these earbuds do deliver accuracy and completeness to a level that would make anyone with a weakness for buying too many audio accessories say, with a pained grin, and very high skepticism and regret about their last purchase: "200 dollars?". And they would know they're understating that number.So in short: you need an amplifier that can reliably serve at least a 100 ohm headphone, and it has to deliver over long bursts (presumably because of the single driver design - I don't know how much effect that is in mW, but it's significantly higher than your typical phone or mp3 player dac. And it is also higher than what is listed in the manufacturer's website, if you want something more than just marginally listenable). And you do need to turn the volume up to a point where musicians - of the kind that like cozy music and quiet jazz, rock and roll from a distance, and things of that sort - would scream in pain, hide, and cover their ears. These are not for that kind of musician.But. If you can get past this somehow, run them in without destroying your ears, and somehow come to a compromise between hearing loss and a rattling inner ear. Then the completeness of the sound-picture is actually quite high, and allows for high density source playback without losing any definition at all (which is not possible on any earbud you can wear outside the house without worrying about the weather destroying them and your next paycheck). There are a few gaps, sure. And certain areas of the sound-picture is more analytical and frankly dry than I would have liked (specially since it disagrees with the lower frequency spectrum approach, giving it a disjointed, shearing holography, which also adds to the uncomfortable aggressiveness). There is also no lower range foundation, and.. well I already regret even typing down any of this on a review for a 25 dollar pair of earbuds. Or with any earbuds.In short: to at all be complaining about things like this for a $25 dollar purchase is comical. This is not the range where you can have these kinds of criticisms. It's a plastic bit with metal wire on it around your ear, they should not sound that way. The criticism would be completely appropriate for a $500-$1000 headset, not for something you can just toss in your pocket on the way to the gym. So get a pair of these now, if for no other reason to have something to compare with when you are considering spending 500 dollars on something portable next time. Take them with you an astound and terrify your local hi-fi snob, and enjoy the sight as their blood drains from their faces and their life falls apart. Because although these earbuds have certain weaknesses (and would not work as monitor headphones, let's just be completely clear on that. The gaps in certain areas are vast chasms, relatively speaking, that I wouldn't accept in either expensive headphones or a floor setup - which again, is not really something you can compare with here) - but in spite of those gaps, and of course the effect threshold issues, they do deliver in certain areas that suggest a laughably higher price-range. This sound picture shouldn't be possible to get out of a plastic bit like this.

The headphones are awesome for the price. They come with 6 different tips for all size of ear. 3 rubber and 3 foam that seal great. I use them playing live in a band and they're great.

Very good on stage. Im happy to have gotten it

Très bon produit, super rapport qualité prix !

Prodotto che vale davvero la pena acquistare. Costo contenuto e prestazioni discrete.

Sonido muy mediocre
