If you are looking for a pair of premium earphones that deliver rich sound with great battery life, there are several options in the market now – the <keyword id="1591488" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Klipsch">Klipsch</keyword> T5 <keyword id="8177839" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="true-wireless-earphones">True Wireless earphones</keyword> is one on the list.<br /><br />The Klipsch T5 True Wireless earphones shine when it comes to the three most important aspects of an audio product – rich sound, build quality and battery life. They also feature an offbeat yet simple design, and its case is unlike most others in the market. It’s heavy and it screams premium, despite its simplicity.<br /><br />The Klipsch T5 True Wireless earphones are priced at ₹22,900 and they are available exclusively at Cinebels stores.<br /><br /><strong>Design<br /></strong><br />There are plenty of true wireless earphones out there that draw inspiration from the AirPods or are just boring to look at. The Klipsch T5 True Wireless avoids this conundrum with a little tweak here and there to offer a slightly different experience.<br /><br />The first thing you will notice about the Klipsch T5 is the aluminum case. It is heavy and sports a brushed look, which sets it apart from most other cases which are made of glossy plastic. Its weight makes it feel substantial when you’re holding it in your hand. This also makes it fun to flip it open like you would a zippo lighter.<br /><br />        <div type="image" title="Klipsch T5 True Wireless" msid="75010905" hostid="261"></div><br />The case has a USB Type-C port for charging and also has three LED lights to indicate the charge level.<br /><br />Flipping the case open reveals the two earbuds, both secured inside using magnets. This ensures that the earbuds don’t fall out on their own.<br /><br />The earbuds are simple when it comes to design – they have a black finish with branding on the front. The sound tube is long which allows it to go deep enough to filter out a lot of external noise. Klipsch bundles three ear tips in the box – small, medium and large. The overall fit was good, although there is some scope for improvement in this area.<br /><br />Both the earbuds also have a button so you can control the music playback, receive/end calls or activate the voice assistant.<br /><br /><strong>Performance<br /></strong><br />The Klipsch T5 True Wireless earphones deliver excellent performance when it comes to sound. They are never harsh. The bass is punchy, natural and well defined.<br /><br />        <div type="image" title="Klipsch T5 True Wireless" msid="75010921" hostid="261"></div><br />Overall, the Klipsch T5 delivers a well-rounded experience across genres, so even if you are picky about earphones, you will like them.<br /><br />In terms of battery life, the Klipsch T5 easily last an entire day of calls and music, which is approximately around 7-8 hours of usage. The case adds an additional 24 hours of battery life, and it also supports fast charging, so you’re up and running really quickly.<br /><br />The call quality and connectivity are also excellent, but we experienced a couple of hiccups initially while pairing the earphones. Beyond that, the Klipsch T5 was reliable.<br /><br /><strong>Verdict<br /></strong><br />The Klipsch T5 True Wireless don’t come cheap, but they also deliver excellent performance and that aluminum case really stands out. Whether you are an audio enthusiast or just a regular user who wants a great pair of truly wireless earphones, the Klipsch T5 are worth considering.<br /><br /><strong>See also:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/poco-x2-review-poco-makes-a-super-smooth-comeback/articleshow/74186187.cms">Poco X2 review: Poco makes a super-smooth comeback</a><br /><br /></strong><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/article/poco-x2-vs-realme-x2-phone-battle-for-the-best-budget-smartphone-in-india/articleshow/73935927.cms"><strong>Poco X2 vs Realme X2 Phone: Battle for the best budget smartphone in India</strong></a><br />

<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image on-image"><a title_source="Steve Kovach/Business Insider" title_caption="The OnePlus One" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/54452ed5eab8ea2d0610fec5-960/oneplus-one-android-phone-6.jpg"><span class="sprites click-to-enlarge-icon" title="Click to enlarge"></span></a><p class="source"><span>Steve Kovach/Business Insider</span></p><p class="caption">The OnePlus One</p></div><p></p></div></div></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/oneplus-one-review-2014-6">OnePlus One</a> caught the tech industry's attention when it launched earlier this year, primarily for two reasons: it's an excellent value for the price, and it's extremely hard to get your hands on. Now, however, the Chinese startup is rolling out a broader preorder system for a limited time.</p>
<p>While OnePlus usually requires an invite to purchase its phone, the company will allow anyone to order the One<span> on Oct. 27,</span> regardless of whether they have an invite. The catch is that you only have a one-hour window to actually place your order.</p>
<p>Here's what <a href="http://oneplus.net/blog/2014/10/get-ready-for-pre-orders/">OnePlus wrote on its blog</a>:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Pre-orders will officially open on October 27 at 15:00 GMT (08:00 PST, 11:00 EST). During a one hour time window, anyone can place an order for the OnePlus One. All of our accessories will be sold at celebratory sale prices when added to your order. In fact, for this week only our latest collaboration the JBL E1+ Earphones will be available for $24.99 and will revert back to full price once pre-orders have ended. </p>
<p>This won't replace the current invite system. Rather, it'll give more people a chance to use the phone, as OnePlus works to expand its availability. OnePlus also says shoppers can log in to its online store now and set up an order so that you'd only need to press the checkout button during that one-hour window.</p>
<p>The OnePlus costs $300 off-contract, which is insanely cheap compared to most popular Android phones. It comes with a large 5.5-inch 1080p screen, a 13-megapixel camera, and a quad-core processor, which means it's well-equipped to offer a similar experience as its much more expensive competitors. </p>
<p>Most popular Android phones, such as the Galaxy S5 for example, cost between $500 and $600 without a two-year contract. And, phones that are as large as the OnePlus are usually even more expensive. The 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus, for example, starts at $300 on a two-year contact, which is the same price as the unsubsidized OnePlus One. </p>

The Best, Hardest-To-Find Android Phone Is Available For Preorder Next Week

<p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div><p>Despite the tech world's sudden aversion to headphone jacks, traditional 3.5mm headphones are still the best source of value. Bluetooth and USB-C will eventually be the norm, but for now, taking the jack away mostly gives audio companies a way to drive more revenue. It also gives them less incentive to build those affordable diamonds in the rough.</p><p>I was reminded of this after spending a few weeks with the <a href="http://www.mi.com/en/headphonesprohd/" target="_blank">latest in-ear headphones</a> from Chinese tech firm Xiaomi, the Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro HD. They've got a terrible name, and they only work with the old headphone jack. But in both sound and design, they are way better than their $40 price tag suggests.</p><p>Though Xiaomi is best known for making smartphones, it's built a bit of a reputation for producing these sort of quality earphones on the cheap. Its "Piston" line is <a href="http://www.head-fi.org/t/735775/the-xiaomi-pistons-thread-2-0" target="_blank">well-known</a> among cheapie audiophiles, and its <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/best-cheap-in-ear-headphones-xiaomi-2016-4" target="_blank">Mi Hybrid earphones</a> were a nice little travel pair for bass lovers.</p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>Like all of those predecessors, the Mi Pro HD neither looks nor feels like it costs less than $40. They've got this silver, aluminum finish that's handsome, but not showy. There's a handy three-button remote for taking calls, pausing and skipping tracks, and changing volume, though the skipping and volume features only seem to work on Android. And while I can't guarantee the longevity of any pair of budget headphones, the rubbery cable here has shown no signs of fraying in the two months I've spent taking it in and out of my pockets.<p>It's all very comfortable, too. Though the Mi Pro HD are made of metal, they don't drag on the ears. The speakers themselves are angled, so they slide in and stay in without much effort. To put it anecdotally, the low weight and soft rubber tips allowed me to wear them for a whole five-hour flight without issue.</p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>The downside is that they don't block out much external noise. It's not the worst if you play things at a louder volume, but in a noisy environment, bits of the outside world will creep their way in. They're not sweatproof, either, so don't expect to take them running.<p>Plus, these being in-ear headphones, there's always a chance that the fit might not jive with you as easily as they did with me. Xiaomi puts four different-sized eartips in the box, which is great, but some people may have to tinker to find a sound and fit they enjoy.</p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>Whatever the case, that sound is very good. It's a mildly "<a href="https://medium.com/@Xander51/audio-dictionary-warm-vs-neutral-vs-bright-and-the-role-your-brain-plays-in-all-this-2ec761759f7b#.j2zzrkg67" target="_blank">bright</a>" signature, so the upper midrange and lower treble are usually pushed a little more than usual. That means things like guitar leads, cymbal crashes, and vocals are most prominent, but they stay clear and energetic throughout. There's a surprising amount of width to it, too, so you can separate the different parts of a song. I find it particularly fun with rock - a punk track like PUP's "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVuB1ZASrGw" target="_blank">DVP</a>" just explodes, but the instrumentation doesn't bleed into itself.<p>All that said, there's usually <em>enough</em> low-end if a song calls for it. When the bass blasts through the door on Run the Jewels' "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Jl-BeR4M4c" target="_blank">Hey Kids</a>," it's not earth-shattering, but it still hits you. While this may be a no-go for Beats-loving bassheads, it's not sloppy, and it's not so weak as to make the whole sound unbalanced.</p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>They still cost $40, though, so there are blemishes. The earphones themselves are actually built by another firm, 1More, whose <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/1more-triple-driver-review-best-in-ear-headphones-under-100-2016-9" target="_blank">Triple Driver in-ears</a> are a similarly excellent value. Compared to those, the Mi Pro HD don't have the same level of depth or sharpness. They also get harsh if you crank the volume to the max, as "ess" sounds get too piercing for comfort. This is when that poor sound isolation becomes a problem.<p>The Triple Driver headphones cost $100, though. For less than half of that, the Mi Pro HD are at least comparable in terms of clarity, crispness, and comfort.</p><p>There's a question of whether or not you should buy <em>any</em> 3.5mm headphone in an increasingly <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-iphone-7-headphone-dongle-review-2016-9" target="_blank">dongle-infested</a> world, and these may not be the absolute best you can buy for $40, but value like this just doesn't exist with Lightning, USB-C, or Bluetooth pairs yet. All of those have some extra cost attached today - Apple's <a href="https://mfi.apple.com/MFiWeb/getFAQ.action#1-7" target="_blank">licensing fees</a> drive up Lightning pairs slightly, the USB-C market is nascent, and good wireless tech is <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-iphone-7-wireless-headphones-sales-chart-2016-9" target="_blank">still sold at a premium</a>.</p><p>3.5mm headphones may be fading away, but they're a commodity. As such, they make it easier to find value for money. The Mi Pro HD are a late reminder of that. If you're looking to upgrade your basic earbuds, or you need a secondary pair for the road, give them a look.</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/7-gadgets-coming-in-2017-gadgets-apple-tesla-microsoft-2016-12">7 gadgets we're looking forward to in 2017</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="QwMjRlODE6R4VdZ61yGTlButF5Wl1X8U" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>

These $40 in-ear headphones sound miles better than their price tag suggests

<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table lead-image-large"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Sennheiser</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><ul class="summary-list"><li>Sennheiser's $300 Ambeo Smart Headset is a pair of earphones that also has a powerful binaural mic - meaning it can capture 3D sound through a microphone in each ear. In other words, the audio capture is in stereo, reproducing exactly where the sound was coming from. </li><li>Sennheiser teamed up with director Roxanne Benjamin to produce a thriller short film called "Final Stop," which was recorded using an iPhone and Sennheiser's Ambeo Smart Headset. </li><li>When viewed with a pair of stereo headphones, the film is a great example of how you can get professional-quality film and audio on a consumer-level budget - you don't need to spend thousands of dollars on video and audio equipment to produce a thrilling and immersive experience. </li></ul><p>If you've ever jumped into the <a href="https://www.vox.com/2015/7/15/8965393/asmr-video-youtube-autonomous-sensory-meridian-response?">weird world of ASMR</a> on YouTube, you've probably come across someone using a binaural microphone. Put simply, it's a microphone that can record 3D audio - sound that really seems to be coming from anywhere around you when you play it back. </p><p>However, recording and reproducing spacial, binaural audio can be expensive and difficult. If you want to give the viewer/listener the feeling of <em>being </em>in a room, you need to position the microphone (or microphones) in the correct fashion, and you might need some pretty expensive recording equipment. </p><p>Sennheiser's <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-AMBEO-Smart-Headset-iOS/dp/B0744PC5J8">$300 Ambeo Smart Headset</a> is an attempt to alleviate the issues that come with 3D recording. The headphones double as a binaural recording device. Each earbud has a microphone that picks up audio all around the wearer - which means when you listen back to the recording, it sounds like you're standing right where the audio was recorded, and you hear things right where they happened. </p><p>After briefly testing out the headset in an 'experience' room that Sennheiser set up, I was impressed with how accurately the device was able to replicate the sound of what I had just experienced in person with my own two ears. </p><p>As long as you keep the phone's camera pointed in the direction you're looking, the audio comes out sounding spot-on. The headset also has active noise cancelation, and an amplification feature that provides real-time sound monitoring and amplified audio of what's happening around you. While these features can be a fun novelty in daily use, there's a very promising real-world application that Sennheiser recently showed off: amateur filmmaking. </p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Sennheiser</span></p><p class="caption">Sennheiser's Ambeo Smart Headset features active noise cancelation, noise amplification, and records 3D audio around the wearer.</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>The German audio company teamed up with director Roxanne Benjamin to produce a short film, titled "Final Stop." Watch the full film by Roxanne Benjamin <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQhqvVqxlEE&amp;lc=z23qjjhhykbvxxf4g04t1aokgqjfoo4teowypovagzyark0h00410">here</a>. It's best (and recommended) to wear stereo headphones while watching. </p><p>The short thriller was recording using an iPhone, and the audio was captured through an Ambeo Smart Headset that was worn by the cameraman. The result is a film shot with gear you can carry with you in a backpack, but that has truly immersive sound. </p><p>Throughout "Final Stop," viewers are subjected to various creepy sounds that, when coupled with the positional audio, sound like you're really experiencing them. Stereo audio is able to provide an enjoyable listening experience when it comes to music, and is perfectly fine for watching films and TV, but true binaural audio is on a whole different level of immersion. Things that happen behind, above, or next to the cameraman are reproduced exactly as he would have heard them. </p><p>The fact that the film was made on an iPhone is also impressive. It's long been said in filmmaking that who's behind the camera matters more than what kind of camera you use, and mobile cinematography has started to grow a following  in recent years as phone cameras have improved.</p><p>But this film has effectively shown that by coupling a smartphone you probably already have, and a $300 audio device from Sennheiser, you could have the tools - if not the cast and crew - to make a reasonably immersive film on the cheap. </p><p>While the price point might be a bit high for someone who just wants a pair of quality headphones, and the market for 3D audio might not quite be there yet, I came away seriously impressed by this headset. The Ambeo Smart Headset certainly isn't for everyone - and it's not marketed for everyone. But if you want a portable, discreet, and easy way to record 3D audio of what's happening around you, it gets the job done - and impressively so. </p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-foldable-phone-galaxy-x-f-winner-2018-9">Everything we know about Samsung's foldable phone</a></h3>        <div>                    </div>    </div>

These $300 Sennheiser headphones are the perfect gadget to help you make movies with your smartphone

<br />
Fiery monsoons are just round the corner. While it’s fun to lounge around indoors, enjoying the view with some Coffee, it poses health risks, both for you and your gadgets.<br />
<br />
As Mumbai struggles to travel between work and home with knee-deep water spelling disaster, here are your weapons to battle the rain gods if and when your turn comes:<br />
<br />
<strong>Smartphone:</strong><br />
<br />
A phone is one of the most essential devices one uses, and there is a lot of variety to choose from here.<br />
<br />
Samsung offers waterproof smartphones, but they are slightly pricey. Samsung Galaxy S4 Active and Samsung Galaxy S5 are some of the best waterproof phones in the market. These can bear depths of up to 1mts for 30 minutes.<br />
<br />
Sony’s Xperia Z, Z1, Z1 Compact, Z2, and ZR boast of the capacity of clicking underwater pictures and videos. These can definitely turn heads at the next pool party.<br />
<br />
At a budget, Motorola’s Moto E, Moto G, and Moto X models come with a special water resistant 'nano' coating. This protects it from minor splashes of water. Mind, these can’t survive an underwater dip. However, you can brave the monsoon more confidently with one of these babies in your pocket.<br />
<br />
<strong>Laptop:</strong><br />
<br />
It’s a shame there is not a lot of option to choose from when it comes to rugged laptops. The Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 is the sole torch bearer. This bad boy boasts of vibration and shock resistance, and a solid IP65 water and dust resistance.<br />
<br />
This 13.1’’ Windows 8 laptop has Intel Core i5-520M vPro CPU with 3G, LAN, 3G, and WIMAX connectivity. The ports are covered by a flap and the display has polarization for better visibility outdoors.<br />
<br />
<strong>Camera:</strong><br />
<br />
Waterproof cameras have been around for a while. They are cheap and perfect for those looking for wildlife or nature photography.<br />
<br />
Nikon Coolpix S32 is the common man’s rugged camera at a mere Rs. 6,950. It is freeze-proof at -10°C, shockproof at 5ft/1.5m, and waterproof till 10m.<br />
<br />
There are also Pentax WG10, Nikon Coolpix AW110, Coolpix AW120, and Olympus Stylus TG-2 in the sub Rs. 20,000 category. All these can record Full HD videos and come with built-in GPS. AW120 even has Wi-Fi capabilities!<br />
<br />
<strong>Earphones:</strong><br />
<br />
(Image credit: Buyt)<br />
Want to dance in the rain? Whip out one of these and you’re good to go.<br />
<br />
The water resistant Bose SIE2i is great if you want quality. Sennheiser has a handful of water-resistant earphones. The cheapest is MX685 at Rs. 3,790, followed by CX685 at Rs. 5,490 and the PX685i, PMX685i, OCX685i at Rs. 5,990.<br />
<br />
For those on a tight budget there is Philips SHQ3000 at Rs. 1,999 and Audio Technica ATH-CKP200 at Rs. 1,799.<br />
<br />
<strong>Tablet:</strong><br />
<br />
When your smartphone can be water-resistant, why can’t your tablet! Sadly there is only one real contender to the throne here - the Xperia Z2 tablet. It boasts of water and weather proofing, and there are flaps to seal off the ports.<br />
<br />
This 10.1 inches tablet boasts of Quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400 processor with 16 GB internal memory and 3 GB RAM. Unfortunately at a price of Rs. 49,990, you might want to get some water to douse the damage it’ll inflict on your pocket.<br />
<br />
<strong>Others:</strong><br />
<br />
The market is currently littered with a lot of waterproof devices. Take hard drives and pen drives. Adata's Dashdrive Durable HD710 has a rubberized exterior that makes it shockproof and waterproof. Same with the Transcend JetFlash 810 pen drive.<br />
<br />
If you are a music buff there is always Sony’s NWZ-W273 Walkman. You can even take it swimming, or out for a jog when it’s raining.<br />
<br />
Last but not the least, while there are a lot of waterproof devices, there are also waterproof covers that you might want to invest in – a cheap and sensible option at that. Scout the markets, get one, and relax, your devices are safe from the clutches of the rain gods.<br />

5 gadgets to brave Indian monsoons with

<br /> In line with the converging world of laptops, tablets and smartphones, there has been growing demand for <keyword id="1591358" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Portable-Audio">portable audio</keyword> devices. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Creative">Creative</a> has answered the call with the Outlier <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Bluetooth+headphones">Bluetooth headphones</a>.<br />
<br />
Made for the urban commuter and health enthusiast, at Rs. 6499, the Outlier charges a premium over rivals like the JBL T400 BT, Philips SHB4000BK or Skullcandy Uproar <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Bluetooth+headphones">Bluetooth headphones</a> that are available for as cheap as Rs. 3.5k.<br />
<br /> Since the Outlier stands for everything you (the BI reader) and I (22, urban, fat) would want, I used the <keyword id="3293018" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Creative-Outlier">Creative Outlier</keyword> <a href="http://Creative Outlier">Bluetooth headphones</a> for a week. Here’s what I found out.<br />
<br />
<strong><em>Note: </em></strong><em>This is nothing like a conventional review. If you’re the geek looking for tech jargons, run!</em><br />
<br />
<strong>Looks Cool</strong><br />
<br />
Behind the padding is a slot to place what <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Creative">Creative</a> calls ‘Acoustic rings’. They apparently have an effect on balancing the audio. Without these rings, the headphones will offer more bass. No idea how that works #TooTechy.<br />
<br />
These elastic rings can be changed easily. Might be a fad, but the young crowd would love it. You can wear a different color every day. If neon colors aren’t your thing, stick to the white or the black bands. I liked the white set.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ears don’t hurt!</strong><br />
<br />
The soft-feel leatherette ear pads are ideal for prolonged use. I wore it for hours in the Delhi metro, and my ears never hurt. However, the full-enclosure patterns means you can hear s**t if you wore it on the streets. I almost got run over several times (don’t tell my Mom).<br />
<br />
As the cups are almost the same size as your ears, you can comfortably wear your glasses, and the padding won’t push your specs off your face.<br />
At 100 grams, the Outlier is extremely light. Personally, I expected better build quality for Rs. 6,499. Remember, you can have Bose earphones for less than Rs. 6k.<br />
<br />
<strong>Audio is OK</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Creative">Creative</a> have a solid record when it comes to audio.<br />
<br />
I expected average sound at best, thanks to the compact size. However, clarity and sound balance would surprise you. The 32-mm Neodymium drivers offer quality that’ll satisfy most light users.<br />
<br />
The acoustic rings offer you two performance modes - with the rings there is a more balanced music. Take them off, and it boosts bass.<br />
<br />
Is it best in class? No. If quality is your sole focus, go for the wired <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Sennheiser">Sennheiser</a> in the same price range.<br />
<br />
<strong>Playback options galore</strong><br />
<br /> The <keyword id="6411970" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="creative">Creative</keyword> Outlier comes with NFC-Enabled Bluetooth 4.1. There is also an integrated MP3 player. Major audio file formats can be played via the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=MicroSD+card">MicroSD card</a>.<br />
<br />
The Outlier also features a 3.5-mm aux input in case you want to connect it to your non-Bluetooth sources.<br />
<br />
The more options, the better.<br />
<br />
<strong>Feature rich</strong><br />
Creative has added some nifty features to the Outlier.<br />
<br />
The hands-free calling function works perfectly. My callers were pleasantly surprised at the results while using the microphone. This is due to the HD Voice and ClearSpeech Engine. It blocks external noises and enhances clarity.<br />
<br />
The Outlier can also read messages to you, thanks to Buddy, a free message-reading app. Creative have released a free app for Android. The app integrates Google’s Text-to-Speech engine to read messages from your phone directly to the Outlier.<br />
<br />
You also have a Pacer Mode that allows active users to record and announce lap times and total elapsed time. There is also a built-in lap timer which is designed to provide voice prompts about your laps and the total time.<br />
<br />
<strong>Final Word</strong><br />
I can confidently say the nifty, compact style and colorful acoustic rings will appeal to the young generation. The music playback is also generous at 10 hours, with up to eight hours of talk time.<br />
<br />
However, the huge price gap tells me it’ll be an impulsive buy, and not the most sensible choice.<br />

But there are lots of ways to make your listening experience even better.</p><p>I purchased a <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005HJWWW8">FiiO e05, which is a cheap, £20.99 headphone amplifier</a>, on Amazon to see if it would make any difference to how I enjoy music.</p><p>What you may not know is that every smartphone and laptop has an amp in it already.<span> In fact, you probably own several headphone amplifiers without realising it. </span></p><p>But some music fans buy specialist headphone amps because they're designed to make your music sound great. Laptop and phone manufacturers have to cram amps into a tiny section of their product, so the sound quality and power isn't the best that it could be. But you can buy external ones for a better experience.</p><p><strong>I paired my little headphone amp with a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 PRO headphones. Here's what my listening setup looked like:</strong></p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Business Insider/James Cook</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>The first thing you'll notice when you plug in a specialist headphone amp is how loud it can get. If you've ever tried to listen to music through headphones connected to a laptop, you'll know that it's easy to hit maximum volume and still not have it loud enough for you. But the tiny FiiO headphone amp is super loud, and there's no way you're going to hit the limit.</p><h2>I could hear the difference</h2><p>I decided to start off with a song I knew very well: "Big Pimpin'" by Jay Z. I had a 256 kbps AAC version of it on my iTunes, which is an average recording. The first thing I noticed was the bass: it sounded much louder than normal. This was unexpected. I assumed that a headphone amplifier would generally intensify the entire song, but the bass was the only thing I could hear that was different. </p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"><p class="source"><span>iTunes</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>I decided to try out a 320 kbps file, which is the maximum quality that iTunes can support. I fired up a Dr. Dre classic.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"><p class="source"><span>iTunes</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>I could hear a slight difference in quality, and the track sounded clearer with a deeper bass. It's tricky to describe the effect of half-decent headphones and a headphone amp, but in general it helped me to concentrate on different parts of the music more. Instruments in the background sounded clearer than when I listened without the headphone amp.</p><h2>Going deep into the rabbit hole</h2><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image"><p class="source"><span><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bravo-AUDIO-V2-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B00AQAO398">Amazon</a></span></p><p class="caption">This tube amp is more expensive but will sound better.</p></div><p></p></div></div>Trying out the headphone amp got me thinking: what would happen if I try to listen to really good quality music? The music you listen to on iTunes goes up to 320 kbps, which is an OK quality for music. But it's not the best. I searched around the internet and found a release of "Thriller" by Michael Jackson which claimed to be ultra high-definition.</p><p>The files downloaded in .dff format. I didn't know what that was. I fired up trusty media player VLC and waited for them to load.</p><p>I waited a long time. It turns out that VLC can't play .dff files, which was a first (it can pretty much open anything). I looked around online and found out that the album was in DSD format. Direct Stream Digital is a niche file format supported by Sony and Philips which is used for really good quality audio records. I downloaded <a href="http://coppertino.com/vox/mac">a specialist program called VOX</a> and used it to open "Billie Jean."</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>VOX</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>Can you spot what shocked me? 5645 kbps! The music I had been listening to was only 320 kbps. This album was over 17 times bigger. That explains the insane file size for the album: 1.66 GB. A standard MP3 copy was around 100MB. </p><p>I stuck my headphones on, skeptical of whether it could make a difference. After five minutes of listening to DSD files I walked into the kitchen, grabbed my flatmate, and told him all about them. The difference was startling. Tracks were incredibly clear, and it felt like I was in the recording studio with MJ.</p><p>I even noticed something in "Billie Jean" that I'd never heard before: Jackson clicks his fingers a lot. Sure, I'd heard the obvious ones over the quieter parts of the song, but now I could hear him clicking his fingers along with the chorus and the rest of the song.</p><p>I downloaded a high-definition recording of Chopin's Nocturnes. I already knew the tracks well, so this would be a good comparison. The piano sounded clearer, and I could hear the pianist breathing as he played. It was unnerving.</p><h2>A different way to listen to music</h2><p>Combine a decent headphone and amp setup with ridiculously high-resolution music and the experience of listening to music changes. It wasn't something to do in the background anymore, instead it became more like watching a movie. I could concentrate on the music and notice lots of different things: Michael Jackson clicking his fingers, the pianist breathing, the drums on Dr. Dre tracks. It sounded clear, and I could focus and listen to different instruments pretty easily. If I stopped concentrating then I'd miss all those little things - just like I used to when listening to MP3s. </p><p>The headphone amp certainly made a difference to the quality of the music I heard. Things sounded clearer, louder, and bassier. That made me think about how I listened to music. I used to just fire up iTunes and Spotify and press play. Now I seek out high-resolution files where possible, and make sure that I concentrate on the music I listen to.</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-read-receipts-texting-etiquette-apple-2015-7">Stop making the biggest mistake when it comes to texting etiquette</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="U5eDFkdjp7f9evTl8u2fWmV19kBCwmNA" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>
