Sennheiser Ambeo/Apogee earbuds
Let me start by saying that I am 70 years old. I started playing in rock bands in jr high school in 1966 at the height of the Beatles/British Invasion and kept it up through 2012. Did a pro stint from 69-74 on the road every weekend playing clubs and frat parties. Got married and got a real job but kept it up on a part time basis. So I’ve heard a lot of and performed a lot of music. And in the last 10 years, since stopping performing (I did everything I ever wanted to do in performing with some studio work as well) I’ve been very involved in home stereo. When living in a house suitable for loud speakers I had it cranked up with speakers from just about every manufacturer in the less than $2000 range. Buying and selling and returning with all the 30-60 day “magic” return policies nowadays. Bowers and Wilkins, focal, elac, Jbl, Klipsch, wharfedale, revel just to name a few. Favorite? Magnapan. For its stark realism, soundstage and lack of distortion (clarity). Right now my main system consists of Magnapan lrs, SVS 3000 13” sub, Peachtree audio 700wpc class d amp with matching preamp/headphone amp/dac. Sounds phenomenal. Total - $6,000. All this to say that these earbuds that I paid less than $100, when broken in and with tips that seal properly, sound so close to the $6000 set up it scares me?!?!? And upsets me a bit too! The soundstage and real air experience is missing (somewhat) but the realism and detail of textures is very very close. Created in concert with Apogee (look em up) the simple, perfect length lightning cable hooked to an iPhone creates a solid connection that destroys Bluetooth (and Bluetooth has gotten pretty good). “Audiophile “ reproduction of sound is there in spades (instrument textures, overhangs, minute detail) The control app for these is dedicated just to this set and is genius in its simplicity and precision and flexibility. Bass is phenomenal. Voices and guitars are perfect. Cymbals and bells and tingling things, a joy. The problem seems to lie in the microphone for recording, which is not a problem if you’re recording I’m sure, but since I don’t do that which is probably the case with 98% of users, they have been overlooked. If you’re looking for solid connectivity that gives stunning studio/audiophile quality for dirt cheap you better grab a pair before they vanish. Note: I have a very nice pair of hifiman Ananda’s that retail for $999 that are very good when attached to my $1500 Peachtree Audio headphone/dac/preamp as I have to sit on my sofa cause I can’t carry the PA in my pocket. The senny Ambeo/Apogee set gives me near Ananda performance as I rip through the glory days of my retirement.

High quality from Senheiser!
I was very excited to test and review the Senheiser Ambeo smart headset. I had heard a lot of good things about the Ambeo so I was pretty sure they would be good. I unpackaged the headphones when they arrived, plugged them into my iPhone and played a song. They were the worst sounding headphones I’ve ever heard! I thought maybe the eartips were too small even though they felt like they fit pretty well so I changed them to the large eartips. BOOM! Excellent amazing sound! It’s very important that if they don’t sound like you think they should that you go up to the next size eartip! They sounded superb but the highs were just a little to,prevalent for me. I adjusted my EQ. On my phone and much better after that. You see, all music will sound different depending on the source. Through a phone will sound different than a home stereo and you must find the right EQ combination. Once I did that I was very pleased with how they sounded. One thing I noticed right away is how loud the Ambeo headset is. And I like that! I want to be able to jam sometimes. I hate it when headphones just don’t go loud enough. Not the issue with these. They are very comfortable and the ear hooks feel great and really keep things in place. I love the noise cancelling. I love the noise amplification as well. If you are at work or driving and need to be able to hear what’s going on around you just kick in the amplification mode and you’ve got music and surrounding noise. Or, kick in the noise canceling to shut out the world. One thing I didn’t like was how big the controls are. In the pictures the controls look small but in reality they are pretty big. The whole control module fits in the palm of your hand. I was hoping they would be smaller and less in the way. Not a huge deal though. That’s why I gave them 4 stars instead of 5. The dual mics on each earpiece record video in natural 3D sound which makes it sound way more realistic. The Ambeo’s Are great for V logging or just general video recording. It’s nice to be able to record in stereo! The headset is stored in a small nylon bag. I was hoping for a small crush proof box that I can throw in my pocket and not have to worry about them being damaged but in reality I don’t travel with them that much and a bag is fine. The Sennheiser app has an equalizer so you can adjust the settings and that is important. Once you equalize you have total control over the sound. If you are serious about video I really think you would love these! Senheiser usually does it right and they did pretty well with these.

Bad reviews from those, who not understand how it works…
-“No bass” - use Senh SmartHeadset App for update & set up (extra bass is in EQ there)
-“Only for Iphone” - It very good that its made specially for Iphone! It tuned specially for Iphone thats why it works great!
-“Mics not good” - It has 3 mics. 2pc 3D mics in earphones & 1pc mic on the wire for voice calls. With 3D mics you can make amazing 3D recordings. If you want to make high quality voice recording, you should place the 3D mics in front of your face. If you will make recording with wire mic - it will be low quality. Because high-speed voice transmission over the Internet does not require high quality recording. A high-quality microphone for voice calls will slow down the Internet during such calls…
1. Use Senh SmartHeadset App for update & set up (extra bass is in EQ there)
2. Fit it properly in ears. If its not fit - you will not get
3. If its new - play any active music for 50 hours on 80% volume. Just put music for night time. All such quality sound system needs to be "heated" after unboxing. Sound will change
4. Switch on Lossless quality in Apple music properties
5. Listen. Close eyes and feel music plays in you... Enjoy :)
You will hear the new sounds in old songs. You will hear the vibrations of voice and strings. You will hear everything high/mid/bass
- Sound quality is amazing. Hardly find the same quality/price in small size. HD 599 sounds better, but not small size. I enjoy both of them
- About 3D mics. That, what you record on it, is the same on any other system, not only Iphone. Mics are very sensetive and recording is very high quality, very natural
- Active noise cancellation works good, but ive nothing to compare with
- Transperent hearing also perfect. Set it up via App
🙏
