Phiaton Primal PS 200 Review

 

Be aware that the price tag definitely outshines the strictly incremental increase in sound quality.

Phiaton PS200 Earphones

 

Phiaton, while still a relatively unknown audio brand in the U.S., has built a strong reputation for high-quality in-ear headphones in the Asian market with their manufacturer brand name of Cresyn. The entrance into the North American in-ear...

Sleek jet-engine style; sweet sound with plenty of detail; very comfortable to wear; nifty carrying case

Weak bass

Without a kick down low in the bass department, though, they are tough to recommend. Plenty of other earphones can come close to the PS200 in terms of detail, and many don't command the same $200+ price. But if you can overlook the minimalistic...

Phiaton PS200

 

The PS200s are Phiaton's first set of in-ear headphones. Typically in-ears all look about the same, but the PS200s manage to fit a design flourish on the back of their ear buds: a fan shape. Other than this touch, the PS200s are an average set of...

One other area to look out for is the PS200s' plug, which is as bad as the standard Apple In-ear Headphones plug. Straight plugs without any cord guard are a durability issue. Unfortunately, many in-ears have this design, so the PS200s are more the...

A scientific, in-depth analysis with side-by-side comparisons

The Phiaton PS200s are a good set of entry-level headphones that have an unfortunately disproportionate price. On our comparisons, they often offered slightly better audio quality, but did so at a disproportionately higher price. In terms of...

Phiaton PS 200 review

 

Punchy and detailed, but prone to sibilant treble

Punchy and attacking

Treble too sibilant and bright with compressed tracks

Sound brilliant in many ways, but they're far too sibilant and bright at the top end, especially when playing compressed tracks

The long review

 

Fit and finish The PS200 fits well in my ear canals, although the body is on the large side. Because of this, they constantly push against my antitragus, making it sore after a while. However, I doubt this will happen to other users. Isolation is quite...

airy and wide soundstage, great speed and detail, well built and cool looking

slightly large, bass isn't very powerful, may be too bright for some
