Testurteil: "3 out of 5"
Test: Einzeltest: TDK ST-700 On-Ear Headphones
Zitat: The good: + In terms of design, the TDK ST-700 nicely bridge the gap between the youth market and TDK’s more traditional, more mature, high-end market. The simple look, with matte-black surface of rubber and plastic feels high-quality and will certainly live up to heavy use both around the house and out on the streets.
TDK has done a great job of getting a nice balanced sound from these headphones. Sure, it tends towards the bassy but not at the sacrifice of overall sound. There are boomier headphones out there but we really liked the vibrancy on offer here.
We tested the TDK ST-700 headphones on our iPhone 4S as well as Windows 7 laptop and even when turning the volume to full, found there was no distortion of sound.
A black cloth carry bag is included, as is a 6.25-inch (quarter inch) headphone jack, which is a neat nod to the serious music fan, which is TDK’s core audience.
The bad: - The TDK ST-700 comes with quite a short cable from the cans, ending in a 3.5mm audio jack. This is great if you like to keep cable wires to a minimum but if you keep your music player in your jeans pocket, for example, you’ll need to use the bundled extension cord.
The biggest problem with the TDK ST-700 headphones is that once you’ve worn them for a short period you’ll find them to start feeling a little uncomfortable. The main reason for this seems to be the rather small size of the padded cans themselves, which tend to push onto the ear instead of resting comfortably on or over.
The TDK ST-700 are compact and lightweight on-ear headphones that a great look and a booming but balanced sound. However, in a market that seems to be getting more over-crowded by the day there is little here to differentiate itself.
