Wireless is obviously the future but when it comes to sound quality and connection speed having a hardwired connection is the best way to go for now that's where these come in the Odyssey I sign time why is your phone coming these are plain or magnetic in-ear headphones which quanti looks and it's a price tag so they want the money let's find out don't forget to Like comment and subscribe so if you're not an audiophile then you might not know about the company Odyssey in short they make high fidelity headphones for people who want to get the best sound quality one day listen to music so that's why these wide in-ear headphones cost a whopping $400 and the Odyssey I sign 20 which are slightly upgraded version of the eyesight 10 go for $600 let's go over what comes inside the box cuz there's a lot to cover you get your headphones and you'll notice they don't have any wires attached to them you also get a softshell carrying case that's made out of weave nylon and what I'm assuming is faux leather inside the carrying case you'll find a few things first you'll notice there are two cables one those in a minute there's a USB Drive that has the instruction manual stay down to it you get a total of three silicon ear tips three silicon ribbed ear tips two ear hooks two pairs of ear locks and a cleaning tool and a cable management clip both of these cables are flat and half soft so it's rubber on them but they have different connectors on them you'll notice the audio jack cable is pretty standard and there's no in like controller or mic on it the other cable is where things get very interesting this cable has a lightning jack on it and also really big in my controller on it as well there are three volumes volume up volume down in a multi-purpose button in the center and doesn't mic as well but this thing is much more than an inline controller it's also a deck or a digital to analog converter basically what it does is that it amplifies the signal from the iPhone and converts it from a digital to an analog signal this gives you a much better signal and as a result better sound quality at this point you might be wondering wait so can I only use these headphones with Apple products well remember you get two cables you get one with the auxiliary jack and one galanga although you can use these headphones with any other product using the unzila Jack's you get a much better listen in your experience what's the Lightning jack cable that built-in deck they sound better and/or much louder with the language a cable unless you're going to be using your own deck with the other cable but the deck isn't the reason why the oddity I signed ten or so special these headphones are special because they use planar magnetic technology in traditional earphones they use a traditional dynamic driver which basically is a cone-shaped diaphragm and voice coil with the magnet behind them this technology has been around for very long time and it's cheap to make so what's the problem the cone-shaped speaker will produce very inconsistent sound in various frequencies this is what causes poor sound quality models bass and blown out highs when the volume is turned up high also the style of speaker will deteriorate over time when you use them planar magnetic headphones on the other hand are much more detailed and they give you consistently good sound quality no matter at what volume you're using them and in the past having planar magnetic headphones meant large over-the-ear headphones attached to an and cuz they required a lot of politic the sound going but now Odyssey managed to shrink down the technology to what it is today and thanks to advancements in technology they don't require as much power so you can use them with your phone now so here's the million dollar question or at least for another question how do these earphones sound well to put it simple sound amazing for starters if you're going to be using these headphones you really shouldn't be streaming your music you should have your music stored locally on your phone in the highest quality setting look I did this is something where you truly have to try it out for yourself to see how amazing our Odyssey also has an app for these headphones you can't do much except for updating the firmware and you being able to set you equalizer setups I really wish they took the j-bert approach with this app and have multiple EQ profiles set up and let you download community generally the EQ profiles as well but keep in mind the EQ updates directly through these headphones like the Jaybirds so your EQ settings will follow you from device to device like the zebra next three do although the Odyssey eyesight can sound like nothing I've ever heard before when it comes to comfort there so so first the portion actually goes into your ear canal is a little bigger than other ear phones on the market I actually had to use the smallest ear tips with these earphones when I usually use mediums with others on the market they also cause me sore spots from time to time after our them for long periods although the I sign 10 are huge they're very lightweight and when you put them on they aren't very noticeable one big disappointment though are the ear hooks they do a great job of keeping the earphones in place but they're very stiff and constantly worried that they're going to snap I just wish we got silicone ear hooks like the powerbeats or silicone infants like the beats X and J but X 3 because I wasn't able to get the helix to agree with me either also even though these are in your headphones they don't really block out much ambient noise if any and there's a lot of sound leakage so if there are people around you they'll be able to hear what you're listening to also do you remember that built in back on the Lightning jack cable well it's heavy and it has a tendency to pull out your headphones as you're moving up thankfully Odyssey included a cable management clip and what I did was attach it to the bottom of the deck and I clip it to my shirt and you had it an easy fix so are the artists II I sang 10 worth $400 absolutely making planer magnetic in your headphones is no easy feat but should you get them well unless you're somebody who needs to have the best sound then no remember although these headphones sound incredible they score very so so in the comfort department and they don't really do well when it comes to noise isolation and there's a lot of sound Likud's but they're designed that way so you'll want to listen to these in a private environment and they're now waterproof so it's not like you can work out with them the oddity I sign 10 is a very precise piece of hardware there's a very specific time and place for it hey if you enjoyed the
