these are the bear dynamic DX 160 ie and DX 120 ie in-ear headphones that retail for 115 dollars and 89 dollars respectively hi I'm David Connelly and welcome to another CNET video review of a pair of headphones in this case it really is a pair as these bear dynamics shares so much in common that doesn't seem worth doing two separate video shoots for them in case you've never heard of bear dynamic it's a German headphone company that makes some very good sounding headphones some of which are very expensive the models you see here represent the company's attempt at serving up more mainstream headphones at more affordable price points and indeed both are up there with the best in years we've heard in their price range these two bear dynamic sounds similar but there's a bit more life in detail with the DX 160 ie sound so he's naturally spent more time with that model both come with seven different sizes of silicon tips one pair of comply tips and carrying cases the more expensive DX 160 comes with a hard carrying case while the DX 120 comes with more of a pouch style case unfortunately neither features a mic or phone controls which is too bad the cables are a little unusual the headphones have two part flat cables the Y top part termites in a 3.5 millimeter plug and there's an extension cable the Y cable is just 14 inches long where's the extension adds another 35 inches these guys feature black all-metal earpieces with 10 millimeter drivers and impedance is rated at 47 ohms comfort and sound isolation were average for this type of design pretty good but not great the DX 160 IE delivers a lot of bass but it's not thick or muddy definition is excellent and this headphone sound click with rock jazz electronic and classical music mid rage detailing is excellent but treble clarity somewhat lacking the DX 120 meanwhile is a tad more laid-back and that's a plus if you listen to a lot of less-than-stellar mp3s and streaming sources compared to another $100 in your audio file favorite the hi-fi man re 400 that models a little bit more but doesn't have as much base it's a matter of taste which one you prefer but bass FedEx should be quite happy with the DX 160 though as with all in ears the quality of that bass is dependent on how tight a seal you can get I'm David Conroy and those are the bear dynamic DX 160 ie & DX 120 ie a pair of bona fide audiophile in your headphones for around a hundred bucks thanks for watching
