Arctic Sound E352

Zitat: The Arctic Cooling E352 headphones can be found for ~$50 and are hands down a better choice than spending half that much on a pair of economic headphones that you´ll end up not using because they hurt to wear and sound like garbage.

Zitat: Silver bear award Pros: + Very nice sound + Wooden body looks classy (and is suppose to warm the sound)   + Gold-plated 90 degree stereo plug + Two Year Warranty   + Good value. Cons: - No identification of L or R channel. - No cleaning Kit. - Cable length could have been longer. - First set had issues with its mechanical assembly. -  As of this writing, it is difficult to find availability to purchase. The E352 ear buds from Arctic Cooling sound great, making the price justifiable. If you are budgeting to spend between $50 and $99, these ear buds should be on your short list. MSRP is $69.95 US.

Zitat: Pros: + Good-looking, sturdy wooden plugs + Artic Cooling storage case + Multiple silicon caps + Manual in 10 languages Cons: - No left / right indicator - Highpitched sound tends to get shrill - Cable length short with 1.3m - Available only through ArticCooling.com These are a high quality product that will easily compete with other ear phones out there, but in terms of comfort and clarity, I´ll have to say I´m still a headphone guy.

Zitat: The E352s pack just as much punch as the E361`s that came onto the test bench before them. However, this pair of earphones carries a few different characteristics to their sonic signature this time around thanks to wood being used to make the enclosure chassis rather than aluminum as we saw last month. For a price of around $70-$80AUS, the Arctic Sound E352`s are a strong performer as I would have expected after my results in testing the E361`s. The microphone while not included in this model, is not missed much personally, but I do have several vendettas against these types of ‘quasi’ microphones, so perhaps some will wish it was. So, to offer a conclusion here, the audio quality from the E352`s is top notch. It takes the impressive performance already proven in the E361`s and makes it better. Anybody with a love of audio will appreciate the use of wood for the enclosure chassis and until now i have not personally seen it before. The performance of the low end is great, creating some of the most impressive omni-directional bass I’ve heard that literally fills your head. The asking price is pretty good considering what’s on offer and hopefully they will be available soon. Keep an eye peeled for Arctic Sound in the future; I hope they can expand on this impressive start with some speaker systems before too long.

Zitat: The Arctic Cooling Arctic Sound E352 earbuds present an interesting question. Are you willing to give up some audio quality over other comparative Arctic Sound models in order to have some of the most stylish earbuds on the market? At nearly $70, the E352 series is also nearly $20 more expensive than the base model E361 series, and $30 more expensive than the functionally similar E351 series. Even though the earbuds clearly target the style conscientious (rather than the performance crowd), the price and performance drawbacks are enough for ASE Labs to not recommend the Arctic Sound E352 series. The price is simply too high and the performance isn´t really there. That being said, the styling of the earbuds is quite fantastic. Arctic Cooling´s dedication to the design of the Arctic Sound E352 series has to be commended. We applaud them for making such a interesting approach to product style.
