Even H1 Headphones Review: Sound Tailored to Your Ears

Headphones come in a wide variety of styles, from the high end to the super cheap to the midrange. All manner of sounds can be coaxed from these cans, with the general rule being, the more you spend, the better they get. But not all ears are created equal and Even headphones seek to redefine sound quality with patent-pending earprints.
You may be aware that not all ears are created equal. This ear is different from that ear and that’s different from this ear, and that’s different from… well, you get it. But what you may not realize is that this ear is also different from this ear. Sure, they grew up together, but over time your ears have started to hear sound differently. And that’s what Even is here to solve.
Even uses a patent-pending process which plays eight different sounds in each ear at different frequencies to get your “Ear Print”. Your response to various frequencies plus a little mix of proprietary technology combine to give you a full, balanced and even sound in both ears… wait… even… Ok, that makes sense now. This ear print is designed to give you the best sounding music you’ve heard in both ears. That’s Even’s key selling point here, and we can confirm these headphones sound great.
Whether listening to a podcast, jamming on some MetalliGaga, or some rockin’ Lindsey Stirling violin, these headphones cover the whole spectrum of sound from Dub-step bass to wailing Kirk Hammet. And what’s more, it gives you the same sound experience in both ears that we’re missing when we use other headphones.
The headphones themselves are solidly built with a padded metal headband and walnut ear cups. There is no Active Noise cancellation, and the isolation of the headphones is not the best – you will want to pause your podcast while a train passes. The inline remote is plastic and a bit cheap feeling, and the even button is easily bumped between your stomach and a table. Another interesting choice is that the volume buttons are independent of system volume. Meaning if you turn your headphones all the way up and your phone all the way down – or vice versa, you won’t get sound.
All the same, great balanced sound is just a set of headphones away. It’s logical that our heavy metal damaged ears might not both hear the same way, and Even’s sound is quite eye-opening in that regard. You really notice it when using other cans. The other peripheral issues might bother you, or might not depending on your taste, but as for developing great balanced sound, Even’s mission is accomplished.
