NOCS NS200

NOCS, a headphone manufacturer based in Sweden, targets the minimalistic Apple fan with its NS200 earphones. The NS200's are designed to be used with Apple iPhones and iPods, and feature an in-line microphone for answering phone calls, and controls for...

Tight bass ; Warm midrange ; In-line controls and microphone

Sound leakage ; Flat highs ; Awkward bass

NOCS’ Apple-friendly NS200 earphones blend in perfectly with any iPod or iPhone, but provide a somewhat quirky listening experience that’s not suited to everyone.

Very comfortable ; Good sound ; Good price

Can't use the microphone with non-Apple phones

Review: NOCS NS200 headphones

NOCS offers up basic iPhone and iPod listening.

Good build quality for the price ; In-line mic and remote for iPhone and iPod ; Good call quality ; Two-year warranty

Mediocre music quality ; Short cord ; Volume control issues on our sample

Design and pack-insThe NS200s, and the entire NOCS line of earbuds for that matter, have a very simple, clean, even elegant design. Other than the NOCS logo on the top of each earbud and the left and right indicators on the bottom of each earbud

Comfortable ; Balanced sound ; Remote/mic works well

Excellent Replacement for Apple Earbuds

I bought these to go with my iPhone 4S. The Apple provided headphones have never fit correctly and these fit great. After several weeks use I can confirm that these work great with Siri and for making phone calls. For audiophiles you may be...

Nocs NS200 review

The Nocs NS200 in-ear headphones are the latest earbuds from the Swedish brand, but how do they sound? We took them for a spin to find out

Design ; Sound ; Price

Old-school tangly cable

There's not much to dislike with the Nocs NS200. The only disadvantage is the retro cable, which tangles like a excited ferret on a lead, and the occasional lack of precision on the audio side. However, you're at the bottom of the midrange scale here,...
