Phiaton PS 210

Phiaton PS 210 Review

We review Phiaton's award winning PS 210 open-ear style buds which claim to combine outstanding bass and crystal clear highs.We’ve enjoyed reviewing Phiaton’s personal audio products in the past. They have a dedication to style and comfort that we think most headphone wearers really appreciate. So when the PS210 in-ear headphones came across our desk, we looked forward to the opportunity to give them a good test drive. At $79.00, the Phiaton PS210 “half in-ear” headphones enter an arena thick with competitors promising to offer great in-ear sound for less than $100.00. In our review, we thoroughly test the PS210 to see how they stack up.The PS 210 are very simply packaged in a small, plastic box. Inside you’ll find a pair of the PS210 and a cylindrical leather carrying pouch and 4 different sizes of soft rubber ear-tips.The PS210 design is strikingly unique; in fact, their new approach to head gear won the Red Dot design award for 2010. Unlike traditional in-ear headphones that direct sound at your ear canal, the PS210 provide an oval piece that occupies the large opening of the ear, with an additional piece that extends down the ear canal.
