from Circuit City Summary:
This is my second pair of A-34's...the first had to be replaced when the cord connection in one ear went bad. The dual cord attachments mean these frequently get tangled when I'm wearing them at my desk on on the train, and it doesn't take much tugging to ruin the earpiece connections.
That aside, the sound from these is pretty darn good from such a tiny driver, and with the folding mechanism, they're much easier to carry around than any other phones I've used.
There's a definite lack of bass on these, probably due in equal parts from the small driver size, and from the way they sit partly in and partly out of the ear canal. If you press the earpiece hard against your ear while they're playing, you can hear a noticeable bass boost, but that's not a practical way to listen.
Anyway, for commuting, exercising, or at work, these phones are ideal. When the cord separates on this pair, I'll either buy another set, or look into the type that insert directly in the ear canal. Strengths:
Light, comfortable, decent sound, allows outside sounds in (that's a good thing for this type of phone) Weaknesses:
Lack of bass, flimsy cord attachment Similar Products Used:
Koss Porta-Pro, Koss Sporta-Pro, various other Sony Walkman phones
