Genius GHP-02 Earphones

The Genius GHP-02 sounds pretty decent, but I'm not satisfied with its design

In-ear design, good bass response, velvet case provided

Short wire, adjustable string mechanism not very sturdy, better options available for a little more money



Performance:

I tested it out on a media player that gives a good sonic output (OK, it's a Samsung). I got an overall sound output that I'd rate as somewhere in between above average and good. And this is because although the bass response was good, the same can't be said about the mids. They weren't very clear. Nevertheless, the highs were decent.

Conclusion:

The Genius GHP-02 earphones are available for a street price of Rs. 650 with a one-year warranty. At a hundred bucks more, the Creative EP-630 delivers a better sound quality and has a standard-length wire to tuck your player safely in your pants pocket. Even the Cresyn -- which would be roughly another two hundred bucks more -- is worth looking at.

Although the Genius GHP-02 sounded pretty decent, I'm not satisfied with its design and wouldn't recommend it. And for a little bit more, I'm getting the Creative one, which is definitely a better product.
