Prije nekoliko tjedana nabavili smo si slušalice za uši od Monstera^(Monster) . Zovu se Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear slušalice^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} i njihov proizvođač obećava da su napravljene da traju, da su udobne i da je isporučeno audio iskustvo vrhunsko. No, čak i ako proizvođač hvali svoj proizvod, ne možete mu uvijek vjerovati. A najbolji način da saznate je li uređaj dovoljno dobar da ispuni vaša očekivanja jest da ga testirate. Zato, planirate li kupiti ovaj set slušalica, prvo pročitajte našu recenziju kako biste utvrdili je li dobar za vas ili ne.

Raspakiravanje slušalica za umetanje u uho Monster Clarity HD visoke razlučivosti^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)}

Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear slušalice^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} dolaze u djelomično prozirnoj, pravokutnoj kutiji. Ovaj izbor dizajna omogućuje vam da vidite slušalice iznutra, bez otvaranja stvarnog pakiranja.

Unutar pakiranja pronaći ćete slušalice, knjižicu s priručnikom i jamstvom te dva seta slušalica različitih veličina (pored onih koje su već montirane na slušalice).

Do sada, Monster Clarity HD slušalice za umetanje u uho visoke razlučivosti izgledaju kao proizvod dobre kvalitete, isporučeni u pažljivo dizajniranom pakiranju.^{(Up until now, the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones look like a product of good quality, delivered in a carefully designed package.)}

Specifikacije hardvera

Monster ne navodi točne specifikacije hardvera na svojoj web stranici. I, nažalost, nismo ih mogli pronaći nigdje drugdje na internetu^(Internet) .

Međutim, službena stranica navodi neke informacije o ovim slušalicama. Između ostalog, Monster nam kaže da Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear slušalice^{(Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} imaju pojačane točke stresa koje čine proizvod otpornijim na trganje, napravljene su da izoliraju buku i uključuju kontrole Universal ControlTalk .

Napravili smo vlastito mjerenje i otkrili da je kabel slušalica za umetanje u uho Monster Clarity HD visoke razlučivosti^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} dugačak 1,20 metara (3,93 stope), što je prilično standardna duljina kada su u pitanju slušalice za stavljanje u uho.

Ostale stvari koje vrijedi spomenuti u pogledu hardverskih specifikacija su činjenica da ove slušalice imaju niskoprofilni pravokutni konektor od 3,5 mm i da su kabeli ravni pa bi ih, barem teoretski, trebalo biti malo teže zaplesti od klasičnih.

Nažalost, ne možemo puno reći o hardverskim specifikacijama Clarity HD In-Ear slušalica, budući da ih Monster ne daje na svojoj službenoj web stranici.^{(Unfortunately, we can't say much about the hardware specs of the Clarity HD In-Ear headphones, as Monster doesn't provide any on their official website.)}

Korištenje slušalica za umetanje u uho Monster Clarity HD visoke razlučivosti^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)}

Odmah nakon što smo raspakirali Clarity HD In-Ear slušalice, svidio nam se njihov dizajn. Srebrnasti umetci izgledaju jako lijepo na crnoj mat boji modela koji smo testirali. Još jedan lijep dodir je minimalistički logotip Monster otisnut na tipki ^(Monster)ControlTalk i na zvučnicima u ušima.

Ranije smo spomenuli da Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear slušalice^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} dolaze s tri slušalice različite veličine. To je dobra stvar, jer to znači da možete koristiti par koji vam pristaje, bez obzira imate li velike ili vrlo male uši.

Isprva smo isprobali slušalice bez uključivanja u bilo koji uređaj. To smo učinili kako bismo vidjeli (ili bolje rečeno: čuli) nude li slušalice doista ikakvu izolaciju buke. Sa zadovoljstvom smo otkrili da slušalice rade prilično dobro za ovo: većina vanjske buke je trenutno smanjena. Nemojte misliti da nam nikakav zvuk nije dopirao do ušiju, ali rekli bismo da slušalice blokiraju negdje oko 50 posto vanjskih zvukova.

Zatim smo htjeli provjeriti kako slušalice zvuče kada slušate glazbu. Priključili smo Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear slušalice^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} u nekoliko različitih uređaja i slušali nekoliko različitih vrsta glazbe. Slušalice smo koristili na Nokia Lumia 930 , Kindle Fire HDX i starijem pametnom telefonu - Samsung Galaxy S. Na svakom od ovih uređaja puštali smo pjesme iz Mozarta^(Mozart) , Pink Floyda^{(Pink Floyd)} , Skrillexa^(Skrillex) i Iggyja Azalee^{(Iggy Azalea)} .

Moramo priznati da je kvaliteta glazbe zaista dobra. Bez obzira^(Regardless) na glazbeni žanr koji svirate, slušalice za umetanje u uho Monster Clarity HD visoke razlučivosti^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} daju dobre rezultate: dubok bas, jasne glasove i točne visoke tonove. Jedini mogući nedostatak koji smo primijetili je činjenica da se ponekad čini da je bas malo previše istaknut, čak i u audio zapisima koji nemaju toliko niske razine.

Još jedna stvar koju smatramo važnom pri ocjenjivanju audio uređaja je kvaliteta zvuka pri reprodukciji videozapisa. Da bismo to testirali, gledali smo film koristeći Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear slušalice^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} . Sretni smo što možemo reći da ove slušalice zaslužuju svoje Clarity HD ime: glumački glasovi su jasni i lako razumljivi.

Zatim smo provjerili kako se ove slušalice snalaze u telefonskim razgovorima. Koristili smo ih za telefonske pozive na Nokia Lumia 930 spojenoj na 4G mobilnu mrežu. Telefonsko iskustvo je bilo jako dobro, na obje strane linije. Ljudi s kojima smo razgovarali čuli su nas vrlo jasno, što je dokazalo da je mikrofon postavljen na kabel slušalica kvalitetan.

Konačno, moramo malo popričati o značajci Universal ControlTalk koju nude slušalice za umetanje u uho Monster Clarity HD visoke razlučivosti^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} . Ovo je skup funkcija pametnog telefona koji vam omogućuju upravljanje stvarima kao što su odgovaranje na telefonski poziv ili završetak telefonskog poziva, odbijanje telefonskog poziva, reprodukcija ili pauziranje glazbe ili videozapisa, preskakanje na sljedeću ili prethodnu pjesmu ili pokretanje glasovne kontrole. Sve ove radnje pokreću se jednim ili više pritiska na tipku na slušalicama, u različitim redoslijedom.

Problem je u tome što svi oni ne rade na svakom uređaju. Na primjer, na našoj Lumii 930^{(Lumia 930)} nismo mogli preskočiti na prethodnu pjesmu s našeg popisa za reprodukciju glazbe. Međutim, mogli bismo izvršiti sve druge radnje koje smo gore naveli. Posebno nam se svidjela funkcija glasovnog upravljanja, što zapravo znači pokretanje Cortane^(Cortana) (ako ste na Windows Phoneu^{(Windows Phone)} ), Siri (ako koristite iPhone) ili Google Nowa (ako ste korisnik Androida^(Android) ).

Još jedan nedostatak koji moramo spomenuti je činjenica da Monster ne pruža nikakvu dokumentaciju o značajci Universal ControlTalk . Provjerili smo priručnik od korice do korice, ali ne – nema ništa. Ako želite saznati više o tome, trebali biste provjeriti Kako radi ControlTalk? ^{(How does the ControlTalk work?)}odjeljak s ove web stranice: Slušalice - Često postavljana pitanja^{(Headphones - Frequently Asked Questions)} .

Nakon što ih koristimo u raznim situacijama, poput slušanja glazbe, gledanja videa ili telefonskih poziva, više smo nego zadovoljni kvalitetom zvuka koju nude Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear slušalice. Međutim, postoji nekoliko stvari koje smatramo nedostacima: bas je ponekad previše istaknut, čak i kada ne bi trebao biti, a značajka Universal ControlTalk je nedokumentirana, čak i ako se reklamira kao jača strana ovih slušalica.^{(After using them in various situations, like listening to music, watching videos or having phone calls, we are more than satisfied with the sound quality offered by the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones. However, there are a few things we consider to be downsides: the bass is sometimes too prominent, even when it should not be, and the Universal ControlTalk feature is undocumented, even if it's marketed as a strong point of this headset.)}

Presuda

Svidjela nam se kvaliteta zvuka koju nude slušalice za umetanje u uho Monster Clarity HD visoke razlučivosti^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)} . Razlučivost zvuka je dobra bez obzira na to što slušate, bilo da se radi o glazbenoj numeri ili filmu. Telefonski razgovori su jasni, i za vas i za osobu s kojom razgovarate. A ControlTalk je značajka koja vam zaista može olakšati život kada koristite slušalice u pokretu, kao kada sjednete na bicikl. S druge strane, nisu nam se svidjeli neželjeni basovi u nekim pjesmama u kojima nisu trebali biti prisutni. Također nismo cijenili potpuni nedostatak dokumentacije za značajku ControlTalk . Čak i ako ima svojih nedostataka, s obzirom na sve pozitivne aspekte i njegov cjenovni rang, preporučujemo Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear slušalice^{(Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones)}za svakoga.

Reviewing Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones

A few weeks ago, we got ourѕеlves an in-ear headphone set from Monster. They are called Monster Clarity HD Hіgh Definition In-Εar Headphones and their manufаcturer promises that they are built to last, that they аre comfortable and that the audio experiencе delivered is top notch. However, even if thе manufacturer praises his product, you can't always trust it. And the best way tо know if a devicе is good enough to meet your expectationѕ is to test it. That's why, if you plan on buying this headphones set, you should first read our review in order to find if it's good for you or not.

Unboxing The Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones

The Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones come in a partially transparent, rectangular box. This design choice lets you see the headphones inside, without opening the actual package.

Inside the package, you will find the headphones, a booklet containing the manual and the warranty, and two different size sets of earbuds (in addition to the ones already mounted on the headphones).

Up until now, the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones look like a product of good quality, delivered in a carefully designed package.

Hardware Specifications

Monster doesn't list the exact hardware specifications on their website. And, unfortunately, we couldn't find them anywhere else on the Internet.

However, the official website lists some information about these headphones. Among others, Monster tells us that the Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones have reinforced stress points that make the product more resistant to tearing, they are built to isolate noises and they include Universal ControlTalk controls.

We did our own measuring, and found that the cable of the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones is 1.20 meter (3.93 feet) long, which is a rather standard length when it comes to in-ear headphones.

Other things worthy of mentioning in terms of hardware specs are the fact that these headphones feature a low profile right angle 3.5mm connector and the cables are flat so, at least theoretically, they should be a bit more difficult to entangle than classic ones.

Unfortunately, we can't say much about the hardware specs of the Clarity HD In-Ear headphones, as Monster doesn't provide any on their official website.

Using The Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones

Immediately after unpacking the Clarity HD In-Ear headphones, we loved their design. The silverish inserts look really nice on the black matte color of the model we've tested. Another nice touch is the minimalistic Monster logo printed on the ControlTalk button and on the in-ear speakers.

We mentioned earlier that the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones come with three different sized earbuds. That is a good thing, as that means you can use a pair that fits you, regardless if you have large or very small ears.

At first, we tried out the headphones without plugging them into any device. We did that to see (or better said: hear) if the headphones really do offer any noise isolation. We were pleased to find that the earbuds work quite well for this: most of the external noise was instantly reduced. Now don't think that no sound was reaching our ears, but we would say that the headphones block somewhere around 50 percents of the external sounds.

Then, we wanted to check how the headphones sound when listening to music. We plugged the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones into a few different devices and listened to a few different types of music. We used the headphones on a Nokia Lumia 930, a Kindle Fire HDX and an older smartphone - a Samsung Galaxy S. On each of these devices, we played tracks from Mozart, Pink Floyd, Skrillex and Iggy Azalea.

We must admit that the music quality is really good. Regardless of the music genre you play, Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones deliver good results: deep bass, clear voices and accurate high tones. The only possible downside we noticed is the fact that sometimes the bass seems to be a little too prominent, even in audio tracks that don't have so much low levels.

Another thing we consider important when assessing an audio device is the sound quality when playing videos. To test that, we watched a movie using the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones. We're happy to say that these headphones deserve their Clarity HD name: acting voices are clear and easy to understand.

Then, we checked how these headphones fare in phone conversations. We used them to make phone calls on a Nokia Lumia 930 connected to a 4G cellular network. The phone experience was really good, on both ends of the line. The people we talked to heard us very clearly, proving that the microphone mounted on the headphones' cable is of good quality.

Finally, we need to talk a bit about the Universal ControlTalk feature offered by the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones. This is a set of smartphone functions that allow you to control things like answering or ending a phone call, declining a phone call, play or pause music or videos, skip to the next or previous track or launch voice control. All these actions are initiated with one or more presses on the headphones' button, in various sequences.

The problem is that not all of these work on every device. For example, on our Lumia 930, we couldn't skip to the previous track from our music playlist. However, we could perform all the other actions we listed above. We especially liked the voice control function, which really means launching Cortana (if you're on Windows Phone), Siri (if you're using an iPhone) or Google Now (if you're an Android user).

Another downside we must mention is the fact that Monster doesn't provide any kind of documentation about the Universal ControlTalk feature. We checked the manual from cover to cover, but no - there's nothing. If you want to find more about it, you should check the How does the ControlTalk work? section from this webpage: Headphones - Frequently Asked Questions.

After using them in various situations, like listening to music, watching videos or having phone calls, we are more than satisfied with the sound quality offered by the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones. However, there are a few things we consider to be downsides: the bass is sometimes too prominent, even when it should not be, and the Universal ControlTalk feature is undocumented, even if it's marketed as a strong point of this headset.

Verdict

We liked the sound quality offered by the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones. The audio resolution is good regardless of what you listen to, be it a music track or a movie. Phone conversations are clear, for both you and the person you speak with. And the ControlTalk is a feature that can really ease your life when using the headphones on the go, like when you get on your bike. On the other side, we didn't like the unwanted bass sounds in some songs where they shouldn't have been present. And we also didn't appreciate the total lack of documentation for the ControlTalk feature. Even if it has its flaws, considering all the positive aspects and its price range, we recommend the Monster Clarity HD High Definition In-Ear Headphones for everyone.
