• Not always, when buying high-quality in-ear plugs, the user can count on perfect sound. As a rule, such models need appropriate full-fledged sound sources (amplifier, sound card, player).
• High-quality headphone models need to be "warmed up". This term is understood as the process of sound change, and simply "pumping" in the first 100-200 hours after removal from the package.

Expensive new items will satisfy the most discerning music lovers, they open up vast opportunities both for listening to classical music and for rock songs in high quality.
