Pioneer SE-CH3T(R) Hi-Res Audio In-Ear Headphones (Aluminium body, Control panel, Microphone, light-compact-comfort, for iPhone, Android Smartphones, minimalist design), Red

Good sound! Good bass and clear sound! Thin cable, ok with me, but probably for teens would be critically thin 😂 highly recommended 👍🏻

Under the same conditions, a random song "Go" "Snarky Puppy"; when listening-to this song via the Pioneer CH3T's was truly underwhelming, and then listening-to the same track via some Denon AH-D1100's transformed the listening experience. I could finally hear the bass-line, I could hear all of the instrument’s converging, I could hear the highs and lows of the full frequency range despite the fact that 20hz to 20khz is all that the human ear can hear; to the point that it sounded as if I was listening-to it ‘live’ with the Denon’s, as opposed-to hearing-it battered flat in a recording studio behind a set of semi-soundproofed double-doors.It's like having a fast car to travel across Germany in the early hours of a morning along an empty, unrestricted Autobahn, and where all of the components of the car have been uprated to allow for breathtaking speed; but for some reason, the car has been limited to 30mph.All of that time, effort and expense to create the fastest, loudest and most exciting car; and you're no quicker than the slowest, quietest and most uneventful of mopeds. That's what these earphones represent.There's no punch, no excitement, no real range in these Pioneers, even when listening to very accurate bass in over-polished dance tracks; for which, having explored every genre of music, is where these 'balanced', but otherwise poor sounding and the 'thinnest' of permanently wired earphones works best. It’s presumed sound destination.I know that the Denon's are headphones (32ohms) and these are earphones, (16ohms) but the Pioneer’s are still at that ‘lower-end’ of the bland spectrum, despite the Denon's have a similar frequency response (5hz to 37,000hz) compared-to these CH3T's 8hz to 40,000hz. And, as I say, for whatever the reason, I’m hearing much more of the 20hz to 20khz range, and none of the so-called marketed improvements have made any improvement to my listening experience, and as you’ll read next; for some other unexplained reasons, have seemed to have given these earphones unlistenable qualities compared to nearly every set of earphones that I’ve purchased.The graphene coated diaphragm doesn't seem to assist or make a difference with regards-to vibration as it’s supposed-to, (where others without; don't have this issue) and none of the other so-called high-performance parts seem to compensate for the 'low volume' level distortion levels, which didn't affect any of my earphones, and even the 'free' ones supplied with a basic Nokia mobile phone. (I don’t own a smartphone.) And yet, despite using a variety of audible sources, ranging from a high-quality amplifier to the lowest quality source such as that basic Nokia phone, I quickly tested everything equally and the outcome was painfully poor on the Pioneer's, to the extent that every existing set of earphones that I own, (apart from one) was remarkably better than these earphones.The Pioneer's do feel fairly stable, balanced and flat, and that’s all the positives that a usually positive person can say in their favour.But even if they did have a worthwhile sound, they’re not durable, and I am as protective of everything as it gets, (I have a 2003 Canon A3+ printer that still looks brand-new and has the protective film over the function buttons, and gets re-boxed and covered in protective film when not in use) but nothing really prepares you for just how 'thin' this supposed "hi-res" wired product really is; and I feel that just 'one' wrong move (as my impaired vision cannot judge distances) will translate into the failure of one or both of the wires, that's just a failure waiting to imminently happen.They are not the worst that I've tried, but the second worst; after a poor set of 'supposedly' high quality Sony's turned-out to be abysmal. But having said that, the quality of these is probably closer-to 'another' set of Sony earphones; the Sony MDR-EX110AP wired earphones at around £13, so, considerably less than these earphones, but better in many ways including against the Pioneer’s low volume distortion problems, and they are of a significantly lesser quality than the slightly higher priced (£38 at the time of writing) Sony MDR-EX650AP's. Note: My Denon AH-D1100's were only £35, down from £125 at Sainsburys, some years ago; so, you don't always have-to spend a lot to hear high-quality sound that's also been reliable when it’s been well cared-for.But I tried these Pioneer CH3T’s against everything from Senheiser to Audio Technica, JVC, Sony, Philips and Sound-Magic, and all were better than these Pioneer earphones because I could listen to them a reasonable levels without distortion, and also that whatever their stated frequency response range, I could hear more from the music played with nearly ‘all’ of the other earphones than these, and where the volume could reach higher levels because they weren’t thwarted at every possible opportunity like the CH3T’s have been, and all of that despite ‘all but one’ being significantly less to purchase than these Pioneer’s.All my earphones have been either purchased from a reputable store, direct from the manufacturers or dispatched and sold by Amazon; apart from this purchase.But, irrespective of price, there still doesn't appear to be any good quality 'wired' earphones for a reasonable price; with the possible exception of the Sound-Magic E10 or E11's getting close on first impressions, but then failing miserably soon after when developing longer-term reliability issues, so, there's currently really nothing that's of high-quality or reliable in the £50 or less category, as it's all designed to fail (planned obsolescence) after the 30 day or one year warranty has expired, or that warranty just isn't honoured by the manufacturer, or it's not economically viable to pay to send something that they claim will be due-to your apparent neglect, no matter how untrue that may be.You might want to try other earphones that have I've suggested 'may' be better than these Pioneer's, but this is only my opinion and you should consider what type of genre you like to listen-to; because as I say, these Pioneer’s would suit dance music best if they didn’t distort. Listen-to one specific track on one 'high-quality' set of headphones, (Beyerdynamic DT240 Pro's for around £60 is an example, despite being wrongly described as 'over ear' instead of 'on ear' which does make a difference to both sound and comfort) and then 'try' and listen to the same track on a variety of earphones to see which comes closest, but that could prove expensive and not entirely feasible due-to health restrictions. I want to go to a store with my own universal silicone earphone covers and listen to everything that’s available, and to feel the quality prior-to making a purchase, but more of that later.I pay particular attention to where the earphone sits within the ear canal, how comfortable they are for long periods of time, and if pressing them whilst in makes any difference to the sound quality or makes you deaf.They should sit perfectly, not fall-out, and pressing them in any further should not make the 'quality' any better, but make you deaf to the sound being emitted. Likewise, any headphones that you have to press closer, are not seated correctly, and having-to hold and press both headphones or earphones to make the sound experience better is both tiresome and inconvenient.As there maybe something above that price that will save me time, money and all of this inconvenience in the longer-term, as the more expensive earphones 'mostly' appear to be a selection of ‘very’ expensive and nearly all 'wireless' earphone options that I cannot use unless I update an already perfect amplifier.I also feel that some of these wireless earphones seem to lose some of the power and excitement that good quality headphones give me, and actually make me happy listen to 'more of the poor excuses for music' that I'm forced to listen-to for a second job, but listening is not only one of the few employment options that I have left since losing more of my sight, but it's also one of the few pleasures left in life that I can enjoy.I purchased this from "Magic Discounts", and if this really is the genuine article as it appears to be from the feel of them, then this product should be avoided. I’ve done everything pre-purchase to try and avoid a return by listening to a lot of text to speech reviews, which are either all wrong, or I have defective pair. But either way, informing a retailer up-front about what I cannot do by-way of a return, is everything that they then ‘tell me to do’, and unless we find a compromise, I realise that as a partially sighted person on their own, these are yet another set of earphones for the drawer.As I say, I’ve listened (using text to speech translation) to all of the professional hi-fi reviews of everything that I've subsequently purchased, including these Pioneer CH3T's, and I still haven't gotten anywhere near finding a good enough set of earphones, but in-order to carry-on working after head surgery; I am going to have-to find 'something' very soon, unless I can’t recoup my funds (because testing them makes them used and unfit for resale) and it’s also worth remembering that the wired earphone is sadly becoming a 'dying breed’ and finding anything with some long-term reliability is slowly becoming harder for everyone.When I really need something, I don’t know what to buy.Unfortunately, I don't know of a place where you could try all of the earphones and headphones in one place, eliminating 'excess carbon into the atmosphere' as a result-of all of the seemingly countless wasted purchases and possible returns of the full list of earphones and headphones just to satisfy your basic needs, let-alone seeking and endlessly searching for that quality "non -planned obsolescence" earphone which is out there for a 'price' that you won't know how perfect it is unless you try it; and doing that online voids your possible return. But, if you were able to visit a store, and you found a pair that gave you the comfort, joy and excitement and long-term reliability that you crave in a set of earphones or headphones; then they are probably worth purchasing or saving-up for in the longer-term, as will therefore get used every day, week or month, rather than an assortment of wasted items that (until they're thrown-out) will forever stay in a drawer until there's a mislaid earphone/headphone emergency.Unfortunate also, is that this review has had to be dictated to a machine (so, apologies for the mistakes that I cannot see that I'm making) and without the 'current' ability to return this product, on the grounds that it's 'not faulty' and 'merely doesn't suit my needs'; that this is just 'another' one of those earphones that is not worth polluting the atmosphere further, just to get my hard-earned money back, and because they’ve been used for a few minutes; they are less likely to be ‘able’ to be returned.I'm both ridiculously angry and painfully sad with this unfortunate purchase due-to worry about future operations affecting my ability to work, and because this purchase was not the solution that I was almost promised.As I had very limited funds and one opportunity not to waste what little I had on a pair of earphones to continue working whilst my head is operated upon, and will take at least six months to fully repair.I can't find any earphones that meet both quality and reliability that don't require charging or anything but being plugged-in to my amplifier.In my situation, I'm angry because I've run-out of time to resolve the matter, and if you're also searching for a high-quality sound; just don't purchase the Pioneer SE-CHT3 in-ear headphones.

Bought these when they were on sale for £15 on the strength of reviews and the fact my over ear Pioneer headphones are good. I've taken them for about 10 runs and they're finished already, can't get enough sound out of them. When my feet hit the ground while I run the shock sound goes through the cable and overrides the music. No good for running

Hi Res Quality,excellent

Absolutely phenomenal for the price, comfort 10/10 sound 10/10. I have 500 dollar earphones that don't perform as well as these. Warm sound signature with no harshness and the most natural timbre.

Spitze! Hochaufgelöster klang mit breitem frequenzband guten mitten und vollem bass. Geheimtip für musikliebhaber die keine lust haben noch mehr akkus mit sich rumschleppen zu müssen. Eignet sich super für sport, da die Ohrstöpsel federleicht im ohr liegen und im gegensatz zu Airpods wirklich stundenlang im Ohr stecken können ohne schwer zu wiegen oder jemals aufgeladen werden zu müssen.

Ottima qualità del suono. Devo dire inaspettata qualità del suono. Sono di buona fattura proporzionati al prezzo. Superiori ad altre di pari fascia a mio parere.Sono dichiarate Hi-Res per le caratteristiche tecniche. E dato che avevo bisogno di auricolari leggeri da poter portare sempre con me ho trovato questi. Sinceramente i primi giorni di utilizzo sembravano troppo esagerati sulle alte frequenze. Però dopo giorni di utilizzo il suono e più morbido e molto dettagliato. Considerando che ho provato con diversi generi tutti in Hi-Res e le ho provate anche con il Fiio q1 torchiandole un bel po, ritengo di essere soddisfatto per il prodotto. La consiglio a chi non vuol spendere una fortuna ma ascolta musica in alta risoluzione. L'unica cosa che mi sembra poco robusta è il tasto del microfono. Ma per il resto è ottima.

Sound quality :- 5/5, the sound is very balanced If you look at the response frequency it is just flat with a roll off at the bass and sub bass, compared to my AKG K712 this sounds just as balanced but not the same sound qaulity (but pretty good) as the K712 are open back HEADPHONES you require an amplifier just to run them, now if you are a fan of a lot of bass this ain't the one for you but if you just want to be a audiophile and on the cheap it doesn't get better than this.And if you sit for some time and EQ it to your liking, The vocals get crystal clear, the mids got even more detail, the bass got Tighter and trust me if you buy good audio gear and don't EQ it, you are missing out (Some headphones do sound their best out of the box)And don't get turned off by the 5.5mm driver size, these drivers are better than most of the 10 & 12mm drivers that I've heard from.Build quality :- 4/5, The cable feels fragile but it isn't, it's good but you have to take care of it like every other earphone everThe actual drivers/buds part is made fully out of metal even the black part that I thought was made of rubber was made up of steelTo sum it up the build quality is nice.Comfort :- 4.7/5 they are light, very light which is another stong point, I've worn them for almost 6.5 hours without any discomfort to my ears so why a 4.7, the cable is a bit long but that is your personal preferenceMic :- 3.8/5, It is clear, very good call qualityOverall rating :- 4.5/5,(not calculated using the given fields) Go for it

Muy buena calidad de sonido en general, buenos graves y medios, aunque los agudos desde mi punto de vista son un poco estridentes, pero se puede corregir con ecualización, son comodos y ligeros excelente relación calidad precio.

Better than expected
