Quality Matters

Now,to keep track of the technical names such as 'core','cone' or 'driver',please read the previous post.

Most of you must have used these Chinese earphones,that come in a variety of colours and designs. Perhaps you must have thought they are worth your money...hmmm..?

Unfortunately,the answer is a strict NO!

Apart from the sound quality,you also tend to make yourself prone to hearing loss.Shocking,but true.Why is that so?Read on..

the picture you see on the left is a cheap chinese fake of the well renowned brand Aiwa.

For the sake of  learning

 what this little devil can do to our

 ears,we'll break it apart and explore what's inside.We'll also compare it to one of the premium Earphones making brand - Sony.

Now,the one you see on the right,is a middle range walkman headset from Sony.We'll dismantle this too to see what's inside..

Now,we have the driver from the Chinese fake here:

And the one from Sony,here:

Now,if you closely look into both of the pictures and start comparing,you'll notice these:

• Sony's driver has a larger coil-diameter
• Sony has alloted plenty of holes for sound to pass through
• The Chinese fake's cone's plastic quality is poor
• Sony's coil is precisely positioned
• The chinese fake's coil is attacked by fungus and has'nt been positioned accurately
  
• The chinese driver uses cheap ferrite Magnets,whereas Sony uses Powerful Neodymium Magnets 

Now,as seen above,the factors I've mentioned,only explain why the chinese  drivers dont sound clear enough.

The last two factors are the most critical factors that stand out in determining the

quality difference between Sony and the Chinese Fake. 

Coming to the health hazards,we need to have a look at the backside of both these drivers.
