everyone this is Jimmy with Jim's review room today I want to give a try to some in-ear earphones as I love the passive noise isolation the ease of portability and the sound you get when you place this inside your ear canal now we're looking at the Eph M to hundreds priced at one hundred and forty nine dollars as of this video and we'll see if they are high performance earphones as Yamaha claims so I'm here to help you make your purchase decision welcome everyone to jim's preview burns coming in three different colors red white and the black version that I have here all features a nice glossy black finish and each with the Yamaha logo and silver now regarding my testing with all earphones and earbuds pulling and vetting the wires on these did impose any issues now there's not a separate rubber guard to compensate for accidental movement but I do appreciate the side of the earphones extending quite a bit offering an alternative form of protection you can say now going back up here if you were to take apart these earphones this unconventional bulge here is really the huge driver inside five eighths to be exact by going one step further in being unique taking off the ear tips here Yamaha is claiming these are the world's first to offer a titanium tube and I'll be honest and thought they were a marketing gimmick at first here but ever so slightly you can see each tube slightly flex in turn providing a more natural fit inside the ear canal and even sound distribution but more my sound test a little bit later but now regarding comforts Yamaha provides a nice assortment of sizes five and total actually so you shouldn't worry about fitment now I tested the audio technica CTR is the other week and they were a snug fit which I personally like for that added sense of security but these here still holds in the ear canal as well and testing is walking around the city and around the house never did these earphones fall out or become loose now if you think in ear earphones are uncomfortable it's possible with this being less aggressive you can say these actually might work out for you now in addition to the ear tips llaman includes a three and a half millimeter two quarter inch adapter any very nice but more importantly functional hard carrying case inside offering pockets on either side to hold all of your goods here and while the m2 hundreds are protected in this case pulling them out later they barely tangle with the design Yamaha has chosen now I'm pulling these straight apart here provides your standard length like most quoted earphones at four feet or 1.2 meters enough to have your phone in your pockets or leaving your device nearby on your desk now the only concern that I had is with the wires themselves the rubber jacket used to protect the wires inside does feel slightly thin thinner than other earbuds or earphones that I've used in the past and to be fair nothing has gone wrong with these and it's one of those cases where time will only tell and as you can see in the video here there is a built-in controller for use with Apple devices to adjust volume pain skip songs and although this isn't made for Android devices I'm still able to pause and play songs with the controller and answer in disconnect phone calls I can't skip or forward songs in general and speaking of phone calls here here's a quick test hello hey I'm doing a test on the phone again I just wanna make sure you can hear me so I just going to do some random test here and just let me know if you hear any window if you hear anything in the background right now me clearly any background noises any cars driving by I'm outside right now you're a little bit of rustling I'm not sure what that is exactly but it doesn't sound specifically like a car or anything like that okay there is a light breeze out here so you do hear a little bit something may sound like a little bit of a breeze or maybe some wind and look yeah that's what it sounds like a little bit okay above my voices sound loud and clear or do I saw a muffled do I sound faraway like I'm on a speakerphone by any chance nope you sound pretty clear like you're on the phone sound good and one last that I'm going to walk back and forth real quick here and I want let you know tell me if you hear any rustling with the cord if it's rustling against the shirt let me know if you hear anything whoops sorry about that you hear anything oh definitely it was pretty clear pretty clear with me walking around yeah I didn't really hear much of anything a little tiny bit but not even really remotely close to sounding like static or anything okay sounds good alright thanks for your time all right bye and there you go folks I hope you enjoyed that small little segment there for you now moving on to the probably the most important part here is how do they sound now using FLAC files or lossless audio to test since streaming services provides some low quality bit rates it's the only way to test earphones to see its true potential now first up is bass and it is strong if you love bass these are no question going to fulfill your needs it's not as deep as the Beats products I believe but it's a nice full bodied sound especially with bass dominant music of rap and hip-hop of today the great thing although it's bass focus is not obscene in my opinion but rather it accompanies most generous and most other sound fields for today's music that is from Nicki Minaj to EDM music of Cascade and Avicii let's say the beats will get you nodding now those who do tend or fare closer to a more natural non bass boosted sound I honestly will no question you can say we'll have to look elsewhere now as for the mid-range in vocals surprisingly these are mid Ford I personally like speakers on these somewhat brighter side as I do interpret the sound as being clearer and more distinct vocals you can say with minor nuances even being heard these are very much so and I believe because the mid-range is pushed a bit forward it prevents the bass from being 100% dominant and or having the mid-range eventually become muddy and weak overall I am pleased with this area now as for the high hats and high notes in general nothing at the norm as being ear ringing or tinny which is a good thing but being very much based focused the top end does lose some of its sharpness and bite almost down sounding and you can't really get too excited about it now as for the soundstage is not as open as I hope for as well offering deeper immersion into the music left on the right auto separation is clearly present when offered but having a 3d experience wasn't much there despite having these huge drivers mentioned earlier and last for loudness oh yes these will definitely get loud keeping these around 50 to 60 percent was definitely enough for me so despite some of the lacking components like soundstage at the highs it's almost to be expected when you want bass focus headphones and earphones but if you do like bass these are for sure a consideration and alternative to the beats products more ford mids and vocals deep and full sounding bass yet still clean and not to mention the variety of ear tips and comfort you get with these so this review helped you in some way if you like my work add me Jim's review room to Facebook Twitter Instagram or Google+ you can ask questions and see behind the scenes out what I do daily again this is Jimmy with Jim's review room you guys take care and I'll see you in the next one bye
