What do u think of the---pt850!!?

in China, meizu company promises that one can ask for a new pt850 in one year as it's easy to break....i bought m6 on 2007-4-1,my pt850 usually passes away about 1 month.. so i've got about 10 pt850 ...

do u use pt850??
at least it's much better that the apple's earphone....just my opinion!

How do you manage to break the PT850 every month?

it's himself.....
when the end of the month comes.... it breaks automatically...
i want to know how m6 sells in Europe，is it expensive？ or very cheap?
in China，it's sold about $70 for 4GB one!
Now i think my m6 get some problems with its battery...
BTY,happy 2 meet u~
Have a nice week! ^^

the pt850 who were with my SP lives one month for me too and when i bought my SL just one of them was working....

yeah same here...my pt850 didn't last very long too... nice sound quality but just too fragile I guess....

I don't use mine that often (only if I mind wearing my ugly but great sounding Koss). Ok, at the moment I use the PT850 more often because I have to fix some loose solder on my Koss... anyway, the PT850 pretty much suck. Not very comfortable (but neither are the Koss with my quite unflexible speaker cables), and terrible sound quality. Decent for something that comes with a MP3 player, but really they still are awful.

They are pretty bad, I like to use them when i'm sleeping because they don't really fall out of the ear and such. but they don't suit my needs when I'm like at school and stuff because they aren't personal at all. I can barely hear them and everyone else can hear what I'm listening too and they think its like super loud but really they arent... I like my skullcandy in ear headphones much better...

Well, first of all you shouldn't compare them with iems. IMHO I had a chance to compare them to the iPoo earbuds and Pt850's sound way better. Anyways, using them in a bus might be quite unhealthy so I got myself UE Super.fi 3 Studio iems.

mine broke as well...i got a pair of Sony MDR-EX32LP's

PT850s sound better than ipod earphones, good mid/highs but not enough bass. Mine blew after a month too, right one started to ring a lot then got busted entirely.

I have a pair of old Sony earbuds, the black ones that came with the digital radio/cassette walkmans. I've had them for a few years and changed like 5 cables on them, but they still rock. Add the sponges that came with the PT850s to the Sonys and i can dare say they have better bass response than canal phones.

Mine lasted a little longer - broke in about four months. Unfortunately I cannot get it replaced here:-( Good sound but poorly designed plug / wire. An L shape plug would last much longer!

my pt's actually survived for over three whole months. And i used them about 3 hours a day average. I dont agree with pico saying a L shaped plug would last longer. My player is always in my pocket and L shaped plugs never lasted very long.

The plug is not repairable. The earbuds are!. when you have a 'wire break' (inside wire the copper wire broke) you can easily open up the earbuds and fix the problem.

I still use my PT850 about 3 or 4 days a week which I got with my first Meizu M6, and that was more than a year ago. However I'm using it with my notebook, so there's hardly any chance of broken cables

I guess all earphone's durability depends on how you use them. Personally I've been using my PT850 about 5-6 hours a day for almost 5 months, and they're still as good as new. Granted, I take good care of them, but I wouldn't have a right to criticize if I didn't do my part, right? :P

Regarding sound quality, I disagree with those who say it's bad. In fact, I was very surprised with the PT850 when heard them for the first time. Compared to other bundled earphones, they must be the best I've heard so far. Of course they are not even close to audiophile quality, but they should still be better than anything you can buy at under 25€.. they sure beat my Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia hands down, and those cost me 35€ a couple of years ago.

IMO, if you want to replace the PT850 for better audio quality, you can't do it with cheap phones... at that point maybe it makes send to go a step further, spend a little more, and go for the MylarOne X3i's or the Audio Technica ATH-CK7 (these are probably my next phones ).

Usually players are bundled with crap, being better than that isn't a big feat. Beating Sonys isn't hard too. Koss KSC models, which you can get, depending on where you live for around 10 €, are by far better. Also the Sennheiser MX300, while not good, are better, they should also be at around 10 €.

The PT850 have too much kick bass, not much real, low bass, weak mids and weak highs. I find that sound characteristic rather unpleasant.
