flux in ear prob

   Some of you may wonder how a tiny earset can compare to a full sized closed type headset and to be honest with all of you that were our initial response too, however after testing the FLUX In-Ear headset for the past 11 days our opinion has really changed for the best. I need only to say that thanks to the superior audio clarity (highs and mids are almost excellent) and depth offered by the FLUX In-Ear Pro Headset i was able to "spot" extra instruments used in various pop/rock/heavy metal songs with ease something that i usually have a hard time doing with the majority of the headsets and earsets I’ve used to date. Bass is more than sufficient for such a solution but naturally a small driver like the one used here can't compete in that aspect with larger closed type headsets so if you cherish bass above everything else then in general i wouldn't suggest choosing an earset. Positioning effects in games and movies were also not as good as the ones we get from closed type headsets but I would be lying if I said I was expecting something else, we are talking about a set of tiny earphones after all. Perhaps the only thing that did "annoy" us a bit was the weight of the headset so i really suggest using the over the ear attachments instead of using it as is (of course this comes down to personal preference).

 

   Since the FLUX In-Ear Pro Headset is the high-end in-ear solution by SteelSeries we did expect its price tag to reflect that and at USD129.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 132.89Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) it really does. Personally i don't think that the price tag is way more than it should be but that being said i do think that SteelSeries should slightly lower it to make the FLUX In-Ear Pro Headset more affordable for people who don't really want to spend over USD100/100Euros for a headset (especially for an earset). That aside with the FLUX In-Ear Pro Headset you are getting a high quality headset with superior audio clarity, near-excellent highs/mids and sufficient bass along with several extras including a carrying case, 3 extra sets of tips (including a memory foam one) and two different detachable ends so we can't think of something more we could ask from SteelSeries which is why we are giving them our Golden Award.
