Installation & Sound Check
**click to enlarge**
Saying ‘installation’ is almost a joke with these headphones. Just plug them
in and they work…no drivers needed. The decoder box lights up the Ezonics logo
for looks and to let you know the unit has power.
I spent a lot of time over the last week and a half with these things on my
head. They are pretty light and comfortable, but after a few hours it is
possible to get a little sore from wearing them. I found that just taking the
headphones off for a few minutes was generally enough to make them comfortable
again.
I
played a variety of games as well, including but not limited to Hitman 2:
Silent Assassin, Hitman: Contracts, GTA Vice City, Unreal Tournament 2004, and
Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed. I also watched two movies all the way
through – Gladiator and The Punisher.
I was definitely impressed by the ability of these headphones to reproduce
surround sound. Imaging was clear and distinct, and more than once I paid
these headphones the ultimate compliment by checking over my shoulder because
I thought I heard something. These headphones do a decent job of isolating
your ear from outside noise, and have a very solid response. The only area I
found really lacking was low end bass reproduction, although given the size of
the drivers I’m positive the EZ-638 is doing the best it possibly can with
what its got.
