Incase has several sets of headphones additionally to their substantial line of iPhone and iPad cases. The company went ahead and slipped these poor boys into all of the Apple Shops, which is where I saw it. I believed, damn that is a good headphone box, I wonder what the headphones sound like.
With memory foam wrapped faux-suede padding on the ear cups and head band Monster Headphones, the Incase Sonic Over Ear Headphones have a very comfortable fit. Actually, I fell asleep with them twice and didn't wake up. Generally with my Bose quiet comforts I get a sore ear or the cord wraps about my neck Beats By Dr Dre, something crazy like that.That didn't happen with the Sonic. I could even sleep on them sideways with my ear towards the pillow, that is how soft the memory foam is.The other good thing about it is being in this god forsaken frozen land recognized as Calgary Dre Beats, the faux-suede does maintain you a little warm. I'd envision this could get rather hot and uncomfortable within the beating sun of California.
Of course, becoming within the Apple Shop you will find particular specifications. I believe one of them is utilizing that fingerprint loving matte plastic finish to create you're product appear esthetically boardroom prototype pleasing to the Apple store buyers club. The other requirement seems to become going overboard on packaging. If I had been to guess Dre Beats, these boxes most likely cost the business a fairly penny. Total overkill if you ask me, and I'm not particularly keen on the entire environmental implications of everyone getting to have the best damn box out there. Make you're product great and wrap that thing in something biodegradable. You'll get much more green points with me.
Sound high quality I would say is almost excellent.They're noticeably various than what I am used to Dr Dre Headphones, but the warm richness of the sound is nice and they do sound clean and clear. Its not going to blast your hip hop bass, I think this is due to the faux-suede once more not creating that air tight seal on your head. However the titanium drivers are very tight and warm at the same time.
The 3.5mm input jack on the left ear cup is brilliant. I'm the type of guy who trips on his headphones, i've resoldered my Bose Triports about 5 occasions now.If they had been clever enough to complete something like this I'd have by no means had that issue. It just disconnects and most likely saves me from suffocation within the middle from the night too.Incase provides you 2 sets of these good cables, they are both exactly the same length, just various colors and made of some silicon rubber compound.They provide you with 1 blue and 1 grey, I would have preferred 1 longer set and a shorter set for my pocket as I don't care much for what color my headphone cable is. Apart from that, you get a 1/4 adapter as well for your guitar amp or whatever else.
Bottom Line
Incase is not an audiophile business, however they did a great job creating the Sonic headphones sound worthy. The elongated ear cups give you a clear, crisp studio sound, with warm wealthy tones.The inline iPhone controller and microphone is usually a bonus to help keep the radiation beast away from our skulls. The cost is right at $150, but I would prefer to see the company ease up on packaging. Certain it looks good on the shelf, but that's not what counts, I do not care what Apple says or has carried out with their wreckless use of packaging material, just focus on goods and save a couple of trees.
