Sennheiser MX370 review

 

I've never touched earphones for a long long time now, but since i've got my hands on a new pair of Sennheiser MX370 earphones i mind as well be writing something about it. This earphone probably cost peanuts to buy, and i think i saw it at a departmental store for around 19 pounds.

This earphone might be cheap, but if you want good music at low price, is suggest getting a headphone or an in ear earphone instead. I've abandoned earphones ever since i got my first headphone which is a philips, and i've never went back ever since.

For starters, this earphone is not properly shaped to fit into my ears which means lots of sound leakage and incomplete sealing. Bass wise was OK, as it was deep enough and it handled the low end bass without much distortions UNTIL you turn up the volume where it lost its OK-ness.

Higher pitch sounds were OK, not as clear as you would expect but still somewhere around the acceptable region. When the volume goes up, the treble will overtake the bass which at that point its cheapness starts to show.

The bottomline is, if you're going looking for cheap and cheerful earphone, you're not listening too loud (less than 40% volume), likes to listen to pop, and want to listen to music and have a conversation at the same time, then you will find this quite suitable, but if you are the type who wants trance,disco,metal, DO NOT get this even though it suits your budget.

Do you think you know music?

You may laugh at what i want to say in this post here. Let me ask you, how loud do you listen to your favorite track?. 20-40% volume?.

If that's the average volume that you're so used to listen to your favourite track, chances are you've never EXPERIENCED music!. Music is not only something that you listen while commuting on your way home, it' not something that you play just to keep you companied...No no no...it's not only that..

If you're listening to low volumes all this while, you may have missed out the details background effect that some songs had. First of all, you need something that is powerful enough to uncompress your MP3, then you need some kick ass listening device such as a speaker or earphone.

If you've got that checked, then it's time to pump it up!!!!. I've compiled some classical and trance music to start our tutorial with....lol!!!.


Biography of Yundi Li

Yundi Li was born in Chongquing in central China. As with many musicians, his penchant for music became apparent in early childhood.  One day, when he was three years old, he was so fascinated by a man playing an accordion in a shopping mall that he refused to leave the mall.
At the age of four,  he started learning to play the accordion. When he was seven, he asked his parents to let him have piano lessons. At the age of twelve, Li gave the best performance in a fiercely competitive selection process and thus earned himself a place at the top music school in Sichuan province.
About a year later, when Li's teacher decided to take up a post at the School of Arts in Shenzhen, southern China, Li's family moved in order to allow the young prodigy to continue his studies in Shenzhen. The tuition at this school was expensive, and Li's mother had already given up her job in order to supervise the boy's education. However, Li had  won numerous scholarships and awards which enabled him to afford the fees.
At thirteen, Li won the Stravinsky Competition in the United States.  He went on to take First Prize at the Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition in the United States and Third Prize at the Franz Liszt Piano Competition in the Netherlands, as well as being a major winner in the Second China International Piano Competition in Beijing.
At just eighteen, Yundi Li won the first prize at the Frederic Chopin Competition held in Warsaw in October 2000.
He has recently announced that he will never compete again. He is currently on the roster of  Deutsche Grammophon (DG). His first recording for DG was an all-Chopin recital album, released in early 2002. Meanwhile, he continues his musical studies in Germany.

His music

Ohh dear..... tertiary education is stressing isn't it?, fret not as i have some of the best pieces to relieve off some stress. 

These pieces had been playing over and over in mind for years, and whenever i feel stressed, i just plonk my in-ear phones into my phone and crank up these tracks all the way up to 70% volume.


After all these years of listening, i believe my taste for music is quite UP THERE!!!. Personally i feel that in ear phones are best for classics and sentimental instruments, and 60%-70% volume is quite at the sweet spot of listening to these tracks. NEVER go too loud on classics as the high pitched notes made by the piano or Sax will give you headache as your eardrum vibrates violently. 


As for trance music, a closed up headphone is the best, and the sweet spot should be at 85-90% volume. Close your eyes, listen to the background music, immerse yourself into the music, and let your imaginations runs deep into whatever song you're listening to. When you're calm and relaxed you could feel your body starts to slow down, and starts to enter a subconscious realm where you're half asleep but still conscious. Might be what they called "A state of trance". Its a little bit difficult to describe what feeling or sensation, unless you experience it yourself. Try it by picking up a very nice track that you loved.


At 80% volume, i suggest you do not exceed an hour on listening as it may make you dizzy.


That's what I recommend you noobs out there, so if you already had a pair of sweet phones, you might want to pick it out and listen to some of your old forgotten track. 


I'd recommend these track if you're looking some relaxing music:

I'm in an emotional heaven now

Yea, its the a peice from Ryuichi sakamoto - merry christmas mr. lawrence, and its one of the most popular themes around, and this version is the original one. Its an old song, but because of the various version i heard, i was not impressed then. But after listening to this original one.....Awh,beautifull.

I had been trying to play this song ever since this week, but can't really hit the right tone. I mean its easy to just read the scores and play it on the piano, but to FEEL it is difficult....and boy oh boy, i can't EMO... maybe i should reserve this song for my future heartbreak moments.
