| No fumbling.
Just grab the 'handle' and push them in for great sound. |

 Reason 1. Having to
constantly keep putting the buds back in your ears as you move about is beyond
a horrible pain. Now you put them in and they stay put. Great.
Reason 2. Losing the
sweet spot when you move, or worse yet never even finding the sweet spot has a
dramatic negative impact on your musical enjoyment.
Heck I hate losing my
deep bass and dramatic highs. Where's the fun in that? Now the sweet spot is perfectly
aimed every time. And, it stays there.
Reason 3 Isolation.
I've always loved headphones. They let me go off in my own musical universe. I'm
free from the world and I can play the songs I want without bothering anyone,
I can have the music as loud or as soft as I like without bothering anyone. (don't
turn it up too loud) And best of all, nobody bothers me. They're blocked out.
I really do love headphones.
Reason 4 Active Noise
Cancellation. See the holes on the back of the earbud, right above the R? That's
where the Mic is hidden for each ear. So as sounds reach the Mic from the outside
world, they are received there, decoded and resent to your ear out of phase so
that the outside sounds are destroyed. It really does work. And they are so very
comfortable to wear and easy to put in and take out. These are the best of the
best.
Every
Musical And Convenience Nuance
Is Catered Too.

It's really all about the sound. OK,
well not having them fall out all the time is really what got me into the in-ear
earbuds. But that's still so they sound good. And these do sound the best I've
heard. But, there are creature comforts and niceties that make your listening
experience even better. Think of these as the top of the heap in comfort. So,
let's look at a few of the extras that you simply don't get with standard everyday
earbuds.
Volume control. Lots
of times you put your MP3 player or iPod in your pocket or backpack. There's no
way to adjust the volume without getting it out of your pocket. Now there is.
It's on the side of the control unit and it works regardless of whether you are
in active noise cancellation or not.
I fly all the time.
I've been to the far east more than 50 times.

| On a
plane with the non-standard airplane jacks? Got an original iPhone? No problem. |
|
If you get in planes very often you
know just how wearing the continuous drone of an airplane can be. The newer US
planes often have the standard 3.5mm jacks so you can plug your headphones right
in and listen to the pilots or the audio tracks or the movie. Some still don’t,
so you'll find the 2 prong custom airline adapter that most planes use that don't
have standard jacks.
Also
if you have one of the 1st generation iPhones, you know that they had a custom
3.5mm jack that your standard earbuds or headphones won't fit. Thankfully in the
newer generations they've started using the standard 3.5mm jack.
But if you have an original
iPhone, you'll love the fact that the iPhone jack adapter is included with these
active noise Cancelling earbuds.
Finally, my wife and
one of my sons love having a pouch
for the earbuds. I'm not that neat. I just throw them in
 |
| You good
about storing your things? This is a nice bag if you're into neatness. I'm not. |
|
my case, pocket or on the counter.
Sorry, I know I should be better.
But if you're one of
those people that actually takes care of your things, you'll appreciate the drawstring
pouch. Otherwise you can leave it in the box like I have.
One more thing. If
you look at the pictures of the earbuds you'll notice they have a long gray strain
protector. Two really good things about it. Thing 1. You'll have to work really
hard to break these cables.
And, Thing 2. It makes
it super easy to put in and take out the earbuds. No fumbling around. Between
the 3 part earbud itself and the long gray strain protector, these are the easiest
to use I've ever seen.
How
Does Active Noise Cancelling Work
And Why Should You Care? |
Active
Noise Cancelling earbuds are very different from conventional earbuds and headphones.
You've probably heard ads for earbuds that say they are noise isolating or have
passive noise reduction. All that means is that when you put them in your ear,
they act like earplugs to block out some of the outside ambient noise. They aren't
smart.
By definition, just
about any in-ear earbuds really do help isolate you from your environment and
that's good. DAK's 'They Fit' earbuds do perform as isolating or passive noise
reduction earbuds too. So, that's a benefit you get with virtually any in-ear
earbud.
 |
| See the holes? That's where
the microphone is in each earbud. |
|
But,
isolating/passive noise reduction and Active Noise Cancelling are two entirely
different kettles of fish. While passive earphones simply block the sound,
Active Noise Cancellation actually destroys the sounds you don't want by opening
a whole bag of technical magic tricks. So, let's explore how they work.
Active
Noise Cancellation earbuds actually have microphones built into each earbud facing
out. Each microphone is positioned right at your ear canal so it 'hears' exactly
what your ear hears at the exact millisecond that your ear would hear the sound.
The
microphone picks up the sound and passes it to the noise cancellation circuitry
in the

Here I've cut open one
of the earbuds so you can see the microphone. There really is a Mic in each earbud
to capture the ambient sound. |
|
controller. In its bag of technical
magic tricks is the ability to choose the frequencies that are going to be sent
back to your ears through the
earbuds along with your music, or even if you have no music playing at all. (Yes,
you can use Active Noise Cancellation just to cancel noise even without playing
any music. Either way, the Active Noise Cancellation can dramatically reduce fatigue.)
Anyway,
noise cancellation works best around 300Hz and below. It won't cut out talking
or high frequencies. It works best on continuous sounds like
an airplane, a fan, a refrigerator or a motor. It works best on sounds like that.
But it will have a major impact on many sounds. So always test it out. DAK's 'They
Fit' Active Noise Cancellation earbuds can achieve up to a 23db reduction at 300Hz
which translates to about 75%. And 75% is the accepted industry standard.
 |
It's quite a bag of
tricks to separate the frequencies and send the out of phase signal back to each
earbud to destroy the incoming sound. And each ear is controlled 100% separately.
The Active Noise Cancellation Runs up to 36 hours on one battery and you
don't need the battery if you're not using the noise cancellation circuitry |
|
So, the active noise cancellation circuitry sends the sounds around 300hz through
a special circuit that moves it 180% out of phase. (In English, that means it's
exactly the opposite of the original sound.)
So,
when the 180% out of phase sound is fed into your earbuds, it's like a suicide
bomber. It both destroys itself and the original sound
wave that you'd hear as it entered your ear. If you think about the term Active
Noise Cancellation, you'll see that it's the new out of phase sound waves Cancelling
the original waves there's no sound left for you to hear.
Has To Be Perfect Or Else
The 180% out of phase
signals created by the active noise cancellation circuitry aren't antimater or
anything like that. If you listened to them by themselves, they would sound just
like the original music, in fact perfect.
Except for the fact
that they are only reproduced around the 300Hz range, you would think that they
were the music. So for example if you used a long cable and moved the microphones
to a room with noise and you sat in another room you'd hear the sounds picked
up from the microphones and again, except that you'd only hear the frequencies
around 300hz, they would sound normal.
The 180 degrees out
of phase doesn't hurt the music. It just changes the time of when the sound waves
get to you. It's just a slight delay (1/2 of a sound wave) really is all it is.
It's only that the waves
are 180 degrees out of phase that makes this work. And when you put two waveforms
together in very close proximity like in your ear canal and they are out of phase
by 180%, you destroy both of them. And that my friends, is how Active Noise Cancelling
works.
Note: You may
have experienced a tiny fraction of this in your own home speaker systems if they
are hooked up out of phase (Ground to hot on one side and hot to hot on the other.)
You can get dead spots (mostly in the center of the room) and lose some bass definition.
The effect isn't even
close to the noise canceling in these earbuds because the room is big by comparison
and you're only getting a fraction of the waves actually destroyed. But it's exactly
the same thing, just not as efficient at destroying the waves as the noise cancellation
circuitry is in these earbuds.
Oh,
you may be asking, what about my music? Well, the Active Noise Cancelling only
destroys its exact matching wave, not the rest of your music. So it won't hurt
your music at all.
So, now you know what Active Noise Cancellation does. It uses microphones to pick
up outside ambient noises. It chooses the frequencies it's best at Cancelling.
Then it feeds those
180 degrees out of phase into the earbuds to cancel out and destroy both the ambient
sounds you would have heard if you didn't have active noise Cancelling earbuds
and the sounds created by the circuit. So, you hear nothing at all. And it does
all this without any noticeable effect on your music at all.
 |
Just turn on the controller
and hear the ambient sounds disappear. It's amazing. It has a clip on the back
to clip to your shirt or just put it in a pocket. It also gives you volume control
too.

Final
Thoughts.
If
you check around as I have, you'll find that most people have the same problem
with earbuds that you and I have. And they just live with it. Think of it like
80% of the world is missing out on great sounds and futzing with putting earbuds
back in their ears. But you don't have to live with the falling out and loss of
great sound any more.
|
| Even
the plug cable is angled for ease of use. |
|
You'll
get dramatically increased fidelity and acoustic impact at lower volume levels
because you've hit your sweet spot. (Think about it. Normally you have to turn
up the sound for the detail to show. Now you won't need to nearly as much.)
So get the rich, sweet bass
and the ultra-clear detail of your highs at all volume levels. It's really about
the fit, the isolation and the sweet spot centering.
And now with the added dual
microphone induced active noise Cancelling circuitry, you won't be bothered by
drowning noises from the outside world. On a plane, in the office or around the
house, the active noise cancellation circuitry will really make a substantial
improvement to your listening experience.
DAK's in-ear earbuds come with
a standard limited 90 day warranty, a full extra long 6' long anti-tangle audio
cable and 3 sets of different size silicone ear seals to fit your ears perfectly.
The active noise Cancelling circuit runs for up to 36 hours on a single AAA battery,
included. And you can use them without the active noise Cancelling circuit if
you like. But once you hear the difference, you'll become a believer, fast.
These earbuds have a 20-20,000hz
wide smooth frequency response. Their oversized 10 millimeter speaker/transducers
produce incredible deep rich bass that's unequalled by conventional 6-7 millimeter
transducers. They have a sensitivity of 115db. The Active Noise Cancellation is
rated 75% (23db @ 300hz).

It's
a complete listening system. They really do fit into your ear canal so they don't
fall out when you move, they seal the canal so you get the best possible bass
and exclude outside interference and aim the sound precisely. You really will
hear the difference. And it's all about the fit for long wearing comfort and the
best sound.

Try
My 'They Fit' Great Sound Earbuds
Now With Active Noise Cancellation
Risk Free
Plug
them into your iPod or iPhone or MP3 player. Put them in your ears. They fit easy
and great. Dance around. Do a few cartwheels and see if you can get them to fall
out. I mean if you really work at it you probably can, but it won't be easy.
They want to stay put. Turn
on your favorite music. The music you love the best and know the best. And compare
the sound. I always recommend you choose your favorite music first so you can
really compare what the voices, the brushes on snare drums and the string basses
sound like. See if you don't hear phenomenally clearer highs, deeper richer bass
like I do. You know what the music you love should sound like. I'll bet you agree
it sounds better than ever before.
Then please do two things
for me. Thing One. Turn off the music and walk around your home, office
or try this the next time you're on a plane. With the Active Noise Cancelling
OFF, listen to common annoying noises. Listen to fans from your computers,
window air conditioners, refrigerator or dryer hum. Then switch on the active
noise Cancelling and see how much of it goes away.
These earbuds accomplish a
remarkable 23db noise reduction at about the 300Hz area. That translates to about
a 75% reduction. If you're like me, you'll find that sometimes it seems like more
and sometimes it seems like less. But either way, it's a remarkable improvement.
Thing 2 to try. Choose
a tune you know. Switch the noise Cancelling on and off and see if you don't agree
with me that there's no noticeable change in your music at all. So, get rid of
annoying sounds without hurting your music. Active noise cancellation really is
the best of both worlds.
OK, back to the fit.
It's really all about the fit and the sweet spot. I think once you listen to the
music you love best, you'll be sold on these new in-ear earbuds just like I am.
But if for any reason you're not 100% thrilled with the sound, with the fit or
even the sleek good looks, just return them to DAK in their original packaging
within 30 days for a courteous merchandise refund to the credit card you used
when you bought them.
