For et par uger siden fik vi os et in-ear høretelefonsæt fra Monster . De hedder Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones og deres producent lover, at de er bygget til at holde, at de er komfortable, og at den leverede lydoplevelse er i top. Men selvom producenten roser sit produkt, kan man ikke altid stole på det. Og den bedste måde at vide, om en enhed er god nok til at opfylde dine forventninger, er at teste den. Det er derfor, hvis du planlægger at købe dette hovedtelefonsæt, bør du først læse vores anmeldelse for at finde ud af, om det er godt for dig eller ej.

Udpakning af Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear-hovedtelefoner^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)}

Monster Clarity HD High Definition In -Ear-hovedtelefonerne^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} kommer i en delvist gennemsigtig, rektangulær æske. Dette designvalg lader dig se hovedtelefonerne indeni uden at åbne selve pakken.

Inde i pakken finder du høretelefonerne, et hæfte, der indeholder manualen og garantien, og to forskellige størrelses sæt øretelefoner (udover dem, der allerede er monteret på høretelefonerne).

Indtil nu ligner Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear-hovedtelefonerne et produkt af god kvalitet, leveret i en omhyggeligt designet pakke.^{(Up until now, the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones look like a product of good quality, delivered in a carefully designed package.)}

Hardware specifikationer

Monster angiver ikke de nøjagtige hardwarespecifikationer på deres hjemmeside. Og desværre kunne vi ikke finde dem andre steder på internettet^(Internet) .

Den officielle hjemmeside viser dog nogle oplysninger om disse hovedtelefoner. Monster fortæller os blandt andet, at Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear-hovedtelefonerne^{(Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} har forstærkede stresspunkter, der gør produktet mere modstandsdygtigt over for rivning, de er bygget til at isolere støj, og de inkluderer Universal ControlTalk - kontroller.

Vi foretog vores egen måling og fandt ud af, at kablet til Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear-hovedtelefonerne^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} er 1,20 meter (3,93 fod) langt, hvilket er en ret standardlængde, når det kommer til in-ear-hovedtelefoner.

Andre ting, der er værd at nævne med hensyn til hardware specifikationer, er det faktum, at disse hovedtelefoner har et lavprofil retvinklet 3,5 mm stik, og kablerne er flade, så i det mindste teoretisk burde de være en smule sværere at vikle end klassiske.

Desværre kan vi ikke sige meget om hardwarespecifikationerne for Clarity HD In-Ear-hovedtelefonerne, da Monster ikke leverer nogen på deres officielle hjemmeside.^{(Unfortunately, we can't say much about the hardware specs of the Clarity HD In-Ear headphones, as Monster doesn't provide any on their official website.)}

Brug af Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear-hovedtelefoner^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)}

Umiddelbart efter at have pakket Clarity HD In-Ear- hovedtelefonerne ud, elskede vi deres design. De sølvagtige indsatser ser rigtig flotte ud på den sorte matte farve på den model, vi har testet. En anden fin touch er det minimalistiske Monster - logo trykt på ControlTalk -knappen og på in-ear-højttalerne.

Vi nævnte tidligere, at Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear-hovedtelefonerne^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} kommer med tre forskellige størrelser øretelefoner. Det er en god ting, da det betyder, at du kan bruge et par, der passer til dig, uanset om du har store eller meget små ører.

Først prøvede vi hovedtelefonerne uden at tilslutte dem til nogen enhed. Det gjorde vi for at se (eller bedre sagt: høre), om hovedtelefonerne virkelig tilbyder nogen støjisolering. Vi var glade for at opdage, at øretelefonerne fungerer ganske godt til dette: det meste af den eksterne støj blev øjeblikkeligt reduceret. Tro nu ikke, at ingen lyd nåede vores ører, men vi vil sige, at hovedtelefonerne blokerer et sted omkring 50 procent af de eksterne lyde.

Derefter ville vi tjekke, hvordan hovedtelefonerne lyder, når vi lytter til musik. Vi sluttede Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear-hovedtelefonerne^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} til et par forskellige enheder og lyttede til et par forskellige typer musik. Vi brugte hovedtelefonerne på en Nokia Lumia 930 , en Kindle Fire HDX og en ældre smartphone - en Samsung Galaxy S. På hver af disse enheder spillede vi numre fra Mozart , Pink Floyd , Skrillex og Iggy Azalea .

Vi må indrømme, at musikkvaliteten er rigtig god. Uanset^(Regardless) hvilken musikgenre du spiller, leverer Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear-hovedtelefoner^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} gode resultater: dyb bas, klare stemmer og præcise høje toner. Den eneste mulige ulempe, vi har bemærket, er det faktum, at bassen nogle gange ser ud til at være lidt for fremtrædende, selv i lydspor, der ikke har så meget lave niveauer.

En anden ting, vi anser for vigtig, når vi vurderer en lydenhed, er lydkvaliteten, når du afspiller videoer. For at teste det så vi en film med Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear-hovedtelefonerne^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} . Vi er glade for at kunne sige, at disse hovedtelefoner fortjener deres Clarity HD- navn: Skuespillerstemmer er klare og nemme at forstå.

Derefter tjekkede vi, hvordan disse hovedtelefoner klarer sig i telefonsamtaler. Vi brugte dem til at foretage telefonopkald på en Nokia Lumia 930 forbundet til et 4G-mobilnetværk. Telefonoplevelsen var rigtig god i begge ender af linjen. De mennesker, vi talte med, hørte os meget tydeligt, hvilket beviste, at mikrofonen monteret på hovedtelefonernes kabel er af god kvalitet.

Til sidst skal vi tale lidt om Universal ControlTalk -funktionen, der tilbydes af Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear-hovedtelefonerne^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} . Dette er et sæt smartphone-funktioner, der giver dig mulighed for at kontrollere ting som at besvare eller afslutte et telefonopkald, afvise et telefonopkald, afspille eller sætte musik eller videoer på pause, springe til næste eller forrige nummer eller starte stemmestyring. Alle disse handlinger startes med et eller flere tryk på hovedtelefonernes knap i forskellige sekvenser.

Problemet er, at ikke alle disse fungerer på alle enheder. For eksempel kunne vi på vores Lumia 930 ikke springe til det forrige nummer fra vores musikafspilningsliste. Vi kunne dog udføre alle de andre handlinger, vi har nævnt ovenfor. Vi kunne især godt lide stemmestyringsfunktionen, som virkelig betyder at starte Cortana (hvis du er på Windows Phone ), Siri (hvis du bruger en iPhone) eller Google Now (hvis du er Android -bruger).

En anden ulempe, vi skal nævne, er det faktum, at Monster ikke leverer nogen form for dokumentation om Universal ControlTalk -funktionen. Vi tjekkede manualen fra ende til anden, men nej – der er ingenting. Hvis du vil finde mere om det, bør du tjekke Hvordan virker ControlTalk? ^{(How does the ControlTalk work?)}afsnit fra denne webside: Hovedtelefoner - Ofte stillede spørgsmål^{(Headphones - Frequently Asked Questions)} .

Efter at have brugt dem i forskellige situationer, som at lytte til musik, se videoer eller have telefonopkald, er vi mere end tilfredse med den lydkvalitet, som Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear-hovedtelefonerne tilbyder. Der er dog et par ting, som vi anser for at være ulemper: Bassen er nogle gange for fremtrædende, selv når den ikke burde være det, og Universal ControlTalk-funktionen er udokumenteret, selvom den er markedsført som et stærkt punkt ved dette headset.^{(After using them in various situations, like listening to music, watching videos or having phone calls, we are more than satisfied with the sound quality offered by the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones. However, there are a few things we consider to be downsides: the bass is sometimes too prominent, even when it should not be, and the Universal ControlTalk feature is undocumented, even if it's marketed as a strong point of this headset.)}

Dom

Vi kunne godt lide lydkvaliteten fra Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear-hovedtelefonerne^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} . Lydopløsningen er god, uanset hvad du lytter til, det være sig et musiknummer eller en film. Telefonsamtaler er klare, både for dig og den, du taler med. Og ControlTalk er en funktion, der virkelig kan lette dit liv, når du bruger hovedtelefonerne på farten, som når du stiger op på din cykel. På den anden side kunne vi ikke lide de uønskede baslyde i nogle sange, hvor de ikke skulle have været til stede. Og vi satte heller ikke pris på den totale mangel på dokumentation for ControlTalk -funktionen. Selvom det har sine mangler, i betragtning af alle de positive aspekter og dets prisklasse, anbefaler vi Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear-hovedtelefonerne^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)}for alle.

Reviewing Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones

A few weeks ago, wе got ourselves an in-ear headphone set from Monster. They are called Monster Clarity HD Hіgh Definition In-Ear Headphones and their manufacturer promises that they are bυilt to last, that they are comfortable and thаt the audio experіence delivered is top notch. However, even if the manufacturer praіses his product, you cаn't always trust it. And the best way to know if a device is good enough to meet yоur expectations is to test it. That's why, if you plan on buyіng thiѕ headphoneѕ set, you should first read our review in order to find if it's good fоr you or not.

Unboxing The Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones

The Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones come in a partially transparent, rectangular box. This design choice lets you see the headphones inside, without opening the actual package.

Inside the package, you will find the headphones, a booklet containing the manual and the warranty, and two different size sets of earbuds (in addition to the ones already mounted on the headphones).

Up until now, the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones look like a product of good quality, delivered in a carefully designed package.

Hardware Specifications

Monster doesn't list the exact hardware specifications on their website. And, unfortunately, we couldn't find them anywhere else on the Internet.

However, the official website lists some information about these headphones. Among others, Monster tells us that the Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones have reinforced stress points that make the product more resistant to tearing, they are built to isolate noises and they include Universal ControlTalk controls.

We did our own measuring, and found that the cable of the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones is 1.20 meter (3.93 feet) long, which is a rather standard length when it comes to in-ear headphones.

Other things worthy of mentioning in terms of hardware specs are the fact that these headphones feature a low profile right angle 3.5mm connector and the cables are flat so, at least theoretically, they should be a bit more difficult to entangle than classic ones.

Unfortunately, we can't say much about the hardware specs of the Clarity HD In-Ear headphones, as Monster doesn't provide any on their official website.

Using The Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones

Immediately after unpacking the Clarity HD In-Ear headphones, we loved their design. The silverish inserts look really nice on the black matte color of the model we've tested. Another nice touch is the minimalistic Monster logo printed on the ControlTalk button and on the in-ear speakers.

We mentioned earlier that the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones come with three different sized earbuds. That is a good thing, as that means you can use a pair that fits you, regardless if you have large or very small ears.

At first, we tried out the headphones without plugging them into any device. We did that to see (or better said: hear) if the headphones really do offer any noise isolation. We were pleased to find that the earbuds work quite well for this: most of the external noise was instantly reduced. Now don't think that no sound was reaching our ears, but we would say that the headphones block somewhere around 50 percents of the external sounds.

Then, we wanted to check how the headphones sound when listening to music. We plugged the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones into a few different devices and listened to a few different types of music. We used the headphones on a Nokia Lumia 930, a Kindle Fire HDX and an older smartphone - a Samsung Galaxy S. On each of these devices, we played tracks from Mozart, Pink Floyd, Skrillex and Iggy Azalea.

We must admit that the music quality is really good. Regardless of the music genre you play, Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones deliver good results: deep bass, clear voices and accurate high tones. The only possible downside we noticed is the fact that sometimes the bass seems to be a little too prominent, even in audio tracks that don't have so much low levels.

Another thing we consider important when assessing an audio device is the sound quality when playing videos. To test that, we watched a movie using the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones. We're happy to say that these headphones deserve their Clarity HD name: acting voices are clear and easy to understand.

Then, we checked how these headphones fare in phone conversations. We used them to make phone calls on a Nokia Lumia 930 connected to a 4G cellular network. The phone experience was really good, on both ends of the line. The people we talked to heard us very clearly, proving that the microphone mounted on the headphones' cable is of good quality.

Finally, we need to talk a bit about the Universal ControlTalk feature offered by the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones. This is a set of smartphone functions that allow you to control things like answering or ending a phone call, declining a phone call, play or pause music or videos, skip to the next or previous track or launch voice control. All these actions are initiated with one or more presses on the headphones' button, in various sequences.

The problem is that not all of these work on every device. For example, on our Lumia 930, we couldn't skip to the previous track from our music playlist. However, we could perform all the other actions we listed above. We especially liked the voice control function, which really means launching Cortana (if you're on Windows Phone), Siri (if you're using an iPhone) or Google Now (if you're an Android user).

Another downside we must mention is the fact that Monster doesn't provide any kind of documentation about the Universal ControlTalk feature. We checked the manual from cover to cover, but no - there's nothing. If you want to find more about it, you should check the How does the ControlTalk work? section from this webpage: Headphones - Frequently Asked Questions.

After using them in various situations, like listening to music, watching videos or having phone calls, we are more than satisfied with the sound quality offered by the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones. However, there are a few things we consider to be downsides: the bass is sometimes too prominent, even when it should not be, and the Universal ControlTalk feature is undocumented, even if it's marketed as a strong point of this headset.

Verdict

We liked the sound quality offered by the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones. The audio resolution is good regardless of what you listen to, be it a music track or a movie. Phone conversations are clear, for both you and the person you speak with. And the ControlTalk is a feature that can really ease your life when using the headphones on the go, like when you get on your bike. On the other side, we didn't like the unwanted bass sounds in some songs where they shouldn't have been present. And we also didn't appreciate the total lack of documentation for the ControlTalk feature. Even if it has its flaws, considering all the positive aspects and its price range, we recommend the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones for everyone.
