InnerFidelity CES 2012: SMS 50 Cent

[karwanGoTSwaGG86]

mr tyll all bullshit aside how do the sms by 50 sound?

[4LSniper]

I know the song in the background :P

[Tp681]

LOL. the headphones are on WOO audio headphone stands.

[MrGB187]

Can you do a review on the headphones by the artist RZA of the wu tang clan.

[LaRichardeo1]

He hates everything

[emeliog94]

These headphones are more style than for professional sound obviously

No one wants to be seen with the ugly ass audiophile headphones

[thunderdevil97]

Love ur work Tyler

[jahamaica03]

100 bucks that he was paid for this....smh

[InnerFidelity]

@jahamaica03 You bet I was. I work for the Home Tech group at Source Interlink Multimedia. I get paid to tell the truth so readers will come to hear my advice. Ain't life grand!

[slytown]

Luv ya Tyler. You do so much for the audiophile community.

[theflowmuzik]

They sound good wtf are u going on about

[SpartanDara117]

@theflowmuzik lol you obviously know nothing about music

[theflowmuzik]

@SpartanDara117 and you know this off a youtube comment? you most likely haven't even tried the headphones.

[SpartanDara117]

@theflowmuzik No, i haven't tried them. But im pretty sure they dont sound good. Same with beats, cuz they ain't too good either. Same idea of using a celebrity to promote headphones. probably same quality as well. Never heard of SMS before. Besides, InnerFidelity here is probably one of the best judges in headphone quality, and if he says they're bad... They're bad. lol

[Satfgk]

@LadiTruth Tyll is probably the best source headfi has for measuring gear and my favourite reviewer on the forum. A while back he reviewed 37 000 dollars of headphone equipment, including some of the worlds absolute best headphones. He also did a "celebrity headphone deathmatch" where he measured andcompared among others Beats, V-moda, skullcandy AND SMS. If somebody knows headphones, it's this guy.

[GAG4IT]

Sooooooooo lol do they actually sound good - the wireless models

[LadiTruth]

how would you know if they sounded good you dont have enough money to even buy a pair smh hater ...

[derbigpr500]

@LadiTruth "you dont have enough money to even buy a pair smh hater" Newsflash, these headphones are cheap compared to what people who are serious about their sound pay for headphones. Also, who the heck would pay (apart from clueless fanboys and 12 year olds) for some SMS trash that has 10$ worth of hardware in it, if you can get proper headphones for the same money instead?

[Satfgk]

@snadi10 ahha yeah that would've owned!

[snadi10]

you should've listened to them, and then done the same thing you did with beats solos, but this time live!!! That would've been so funny!!!!!!

[03SP]

Why would people listen to a prejudiced old white man who is clearly biased.

[InnerFidelity]

@03SP Definitely biased, definitely biased towards things that sound good. Definitely.

[zaikozorro]

@InnerFidelity Well said man. Just because (place artist name here) makes a product doesn't mean its automatically good. This person -obviously- don't know who he's messing with. Keep the reviews and videos coming. We all appreciate it. You're the best headphone guy on YouTube.

[aceofclubskid]

@03SP I'll be willing to be my hamster that you love beats,50 cents, souls, and other headphones made by popular artists, but won't touch a pair of bose, skullcandy, semheiser or an headphones that are actually affordable and good.

[derbigpr500]

@03SP Because unlike you, he heard pretty much every headphone on the market worth listening tom and has lots of experience with audio.

[borismontoya136]

lmao "if only they sounded good..."

[Satfgk]

@tibdorjay I wouldn't trust them since the Sennheiser RS220 is supposed to be the king of wireless by far...

[tibdorjay]

techcrunh, gizmodo said these are the best sounding wireless headphones, and it was also top ten gadgets of the week last week, so this man is just hatin, i have beats stuio and sync by 50, and sync by 50 wins by a mile...

[headampcom]

@tibdorjay so you've heard 2 headphones that are crap.

[Satfgk]

@headampcom You don't have to hear 20 $300 headphones to see that the sound from celebrity headphones doesn't live up to the price ;)

[iLLestBrotherAlive]

These rapper headphones sure do rip off the Beats, there isn't a patent law protecting Monster so the Sleek, Soul, Fanny Wang all look similar and it works. People go out of their way to be the most fashion forward cans but sacrifice performance for doing so. Oh by the way, aren't these headphones cancelled?

[03SP]

@iLLestBrotherAlive How on earth do these headphones rip off the beats? First of all Beats are just cool because they are affiliated with Dr Dre and every single celebrity seems to be rocking these headphones. They are by far the worst headphones when it comes to price and quality. SYNC BY 50 and not SLEEK are WIRELESS and it uses KLEER technology whereas Beats only recently introduced a wireless set but with bluetooth technology.

[iLLestBrotherAlive]

@03SP In my last comment, I said they all look similar. The Fanny Wang and Beats look are identical in look, construction, and the moving parts all move the same way. Look into the lawsuit that Monster lost to Fanny Wang over intellectual property friend. These SMS by 50, the body looks the similar with the beats. You have the large cans and plastic body. The technology in them is different yes, but Monster is a well known brand and everyone is trying to make their cans look alike so ppl wil buy

[iLLestBrotherAlive]

@03SP My point is that when a brand becomes successful and popular, other brands try o emulate them. For example, Apple products have become increasingly popular in the last decade and while other brands try to add features to combat iOS, the aesthetics sure do very similar. Is it me or is it a coincidence that the HP Envy looks a lot like the Apple MacBook Pro. HP even has their own version of the trackpad. Don't get me wrong, you made a point with the different features SMS and Beats have.

[Neale1997]

@Magickknight okay you knob head

[Athavan789]

wow this guy is a hater. has he even heard the headphones, they really aren't bad.

[Satfgk]

@Athavan789 Thats what YOU think :) Of course he's heard them, why would he lie?

[headampcom]

@Athavan789 he reviewed them along with a dozen other "celebrity" headphones.  do a minute of research before commenting.

[nomeose]

@tR6yMusic They are great, check out the reviews on YouTube and on my channel

[nomeose]

They sound GREAT..

[theIDKer]

SMS by 50 are crappier than I thought.

[Thatpartydude]

@jerrege dude stop smoking crack SMS kills the beats and the souls here we go the beats have bass by so do my $60 sony xb500 and the beats are built like theyre made from cereal uber brittle and the souls just suck sounds low and the style is pittiful not to mention that ludacris has made a song since like 2004 so y would u want those and the SMS are comfy look/sound great,better wireless than the bluetoothbeats and 50 cent actually has made a real audio company not just his name on the product

[Satfgk]

@Neale1997 I hope that wasn't aimed towards Tyll, he knows a lot more about audio than you, so watch your mouth kiddo

[Neale1997]

they are good shut the fack up you old c unt

[RamenBowlKing]

@Neale1997

Headphones are never good because you say they are, or just because 50 cent ( not gonna lie, he's one of my most favorite rappers )

Please research them, and listen to them for a long time before calling him an old cunt.

This man is a true professional, being older means that he has lots of experience.

You really have quite the balls to sit in your shady old room calling people cunts.

Sure you have loootss of friends, especially by calling people cunts.

[Satfgk]

@RamenBowlKing Forget him, he's just an ignorant kid. Not worth wasting time on

[headampcom]

@Neale1997 how many $300 headphones have you compared them to?  name at least 20 please.

[Frutoses]

I loved how you went there to just tell them they were shit.

[tR6yMusic]

are they good?

[NetGenReviews]

Lol that's funny :)

[shin1300]

Candy~ Colored Bling~

[Thatpartydude]

they sound great.......compared to beats

[AsianTaeHyun]

@Thatpartydude Please research before posting false statements.

Beats sound better than these. Seriously, 50 Cent is just horrible.

[tmtm325]

@AsianTaeHyun Beats, sms, and souls sound terrible.

[jerrege]

@Thatpartydude Actually, factually speaking Ludacris (sp?) > Beats > 50-cent headphones. Relatively speaking of course, they are all blatantly overpriced for the performance they offer.

[MJJSmoothCriminal]

@jerrege The highest their headphones should be is $60-$100 and that's it.

[endrew370]

haha tyll, if only they sounded good

[pilus87]

LOL ... he only came there to mock ... that's Tyll for you LOL

[Lapochivcp]

hey tyll! i was wondering if you could do a short review on the v-moda LP2 headphones, i can only find LP reviews and i heard you say the lp2's are better. kthanksbye :]
