    MEElectronics HT-21 Review

    Prasad Naik, Feb 02, 2011 1325 hrs IST

    Affordable headphones that sound good

    Lightweight, foldable design, very good audio quality, good noise isolation, well priced

    Aggressive mid-range, high-end could have been better

It's hard to come across good inexpensive headphones these days. The market is flooded with all sorts of in-ear earphones in all price ranges, but headphones, especially good ones, are still a pricey affair. The headphones that we are reviewing today are an exception though. Not only are they inexpensive, as we found out in our tests, they also sound quite good.

MEElectronics HT 21



The HT-21 from MEElectronics are a pair of lightweight headphones. The speakers are supra-aural, which means they sit on your ears rather than covering it. The speakers aren't completely flat though and have a thin ring of cushion around them like circum-aural headphones. The headbands are adjustable for height and the speakers are foldable, which means you can fold them flat and then tuck them in so you can slip them inside the supplied carry case. The cable is single-sided and ends in an L-type plug four feet away.

The build quality of the headphones is good and they are also very light. Their design isn't very flattering though, and they look very basic.

MEElectronics HT 21



To test the audio quality of the HT-21, we connected it to several sources, including a Cowon X7, MacBook Pro and a Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio soundcard. Initial impressions about the audio quality were very favorable. The sound had good amount of clarity to it and the bass had a decent punch.

Good review :) I would say, if one is almost ready to buy the above reviewed product at that price; one can spend 500 more and go for Sennheiser PX 100. They are superb with great mids and highs..... and bass so punchy, one would just wonder how the leaf thin driver hiding behind the cushions can drive such dizzying sound into the ear canal!!! Simply superb!!

Prasad Please review Sony MDR EX35 in earphones. I've listened to many sub Rs1000 earphones and so far they've sounded the best with clear mids and lows and Deep bass. But there are not many good reviews on this particular model.

Sony does not usually send earphones for review. We have reviewed the EX-57, which we had to buy ourselves. You may want to try those as they are pretty good.
