Digital camera reviews of Altec Lansing inMotion iM716 Headphones
Digital camera Review: Very Clear Headphones
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been shopping for a pair of headphones with the ability to block out background noise for sometime now since I work in a loud environment. I had been really shy about buying this pair or any for that matter because some reviews weren't favorable. I was nervous. However, I bought these because of the name Altec Lansing has in audio. I was shocked when I first listened to them. I had to replace the rubber tips and use the foam ones because the rubber ones were just not that comfortable. But wow! The clarity of these phones are incredible. No matter what others said about these, I found the bass to be tight, but not booming. If someone wants booming bass like what would be heard in nightclubs, then they need to stay away from headphones period. If you are searching for a pair of IEMs, then if I were you, I would seriously consider this pair. Just make sure the seal is tight and they are in all the way, which I never really found that to be an issue. I don't really understand what others were doing wrong with that. If you bought these, I highly recommend it, you would not be sorry. I am thouroughly impressed with mine.Digital camera Review: Well worth the money
Summary: 5 Stars
One thing you will read in reviews when people first use the IM716 headphones is a complaint about how they hurt the listeners ears while running. Had this customer read the manual they would read a passage explicitly stating how they are NOT reccomended to use while running, bycycling or driving a car.
I use them for long airplane flights, long walks between classes and relaxing at home, and these headphones are fantastic. Once you get it situated in your ear correctly, it takes a few tries to figure it out, you won't want to take them off. They are comfortable and the sound quality is incredible; this is assuming that you have your music encoded in a higher quality format. If all of your music is encoded in .mp3 at 128kbs you arn't doing yourself justice. I have some songs in apple losses and some in ACC 192kbs (w/ vbr) and I am very happy with the sound quality.
The clip, located about 6-8 inches below the actually earphones lets you manually adjust volume and select two different types of pla, Bass and High Definition. The Bass will boost the lower range and that volume quite significantly (for those who complain that the earphones aren't loud enough) and the High Definition gives the listener a crisp tone that is a little bit more flat.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the product and would advise anyone who loves music to promptly go out and purchase them. They are worth MUCH more than the 67.00 I paid for them.
Digital camera Review: Well-balanced and detailed headphones
Summary: 5 Stars
These headphones have a great well-balanced sound, and detail resolution is just awesome. However, you NEED to get a good seal. They have to be inserted quite deep. I have a feeling all the bad reviews about tinny/bass-shy sound or poor isolation have to do with people not understanding how to insert these.Digital camera Review: Wrong info given by Daniel Fortin
Summary: 4 Stars
I have not listened to IM716 but I have Etymotic ER6 (plus Weston UM2) and Etymotic IEMs are of excellent quality. IM716 is based on Etymotic ER4P which is highly rated in head-fi. IM716 is significantly cheaper than ER4P (infact its cheaper than ER6)
The point I want to make is IEM(In Ear Monitor) does not have Active Noise cancellation. They provide isolation from outside noise if inserted properly into ear canal.
IEM's are not for everyone. If you are comfortable with one this is a great deal.
Digital camera Review: dont waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
Grossly over-priced and useless - Sony's $10 headphones sounded just as good. The headphone fit in the ear s uncomfortable at best.
