Testurteil: "4 out of 5"
Test: Einzeltest: TDK ST-800
Zitat: The good: + There is no faulting the construction of these headphones. Made from sturdy plastic and metal with real leather covering and a head strap that is big and comfortable without being restrictive, the build quality justifies the TDK asking price.
+ The graphic equaliser has a ten-step approach allowing you to fine tune the Bass and Tremble and you can really hear the difference when it’s activated. However, the winning piece of design for us has to be the nifty volume control built into the right-hand earphone. It’s a simple thing but it means you don’t need to be leaning fiddling with your player to get the sound balance just right.
+ When it comes to sound quality, these headphones speak volumes. With a rich warm sound that is pretty immersive you won’t find any harsh top-end or troublesome bottom range. Even cranked up we found the 50mm drivers stayed faithful with no signs of distortion.
The bad: - Weighing in at just under 420g, these aren’t the lightest headphones out there, so better suited to home use than out on the move. The inline EQ works but we have to admit it’s something of a gimmick and we’re not convinced that simply using the tone settings on your iPod or smartphone aren’t simply just as effective.
The look may give the TDK ST-800 a dated look but the tech inside is state-of-the art. If you like your music to speak volumes but not necessary at volume then you’ll love the spacious mid-tones and rounded bass these headphones have to offer.
