secondo il tizio di Innerfidelity queste cuffie, le Philips CitiScape Downtown

sono qualitativamente simili alle CAL ma più isolanti; che ne pensate?

queste sono molto carine e se voi mi date il lascia passare le compro su amazon uk!!
Insomma, non proprio. Dicono che han più bassi e isolano meglio, ma se leggi il parere ci sono più difetti che pro quando comparate alle CAL. Innerfidelity comunque a me piace come sito, quella è chiaramente una presentazione con tanto di link a scopi pubblicitari ma credo sia attendibile.

The sound quality from the Philips Citiscape Downtown is very good indeed for a $100 headphone. My favorite can at this price is the Creative Aurvana Live! and it does outperform the Downtown in terms of clarity and lack of mid-range coloration, but the Downtown bests the CAL! in powerful bass response and isolation.

The bass response of the Downtown is very good, having very good impact and extension without bloom, murk, or mud. I would characterize these headphones as slightly warm sounding, but more because the highs are somewhat polite rather than because of a prominent bass. I would say the low notes are the strong suit of these headphones.

The mid-range of the Downtown is slightly colored with a bit of a "cupped hands," shouty character in the upper-mids. This is clearly audible when compared directly against better sounding headphones, but rapidly recedes when listening only to the Downtown, and becomes a slight nasality in the sound that actually helps a bit with the intelligibility of vocals when in noisy environments.

The treble is somewhat relaxed and artificial sounding, but never strident or harsh. Even though the highs are somewhat lower in level than they ought be, I don't perceive a lack of sparkle in the music. I would say that the resolution isn't particularly accurate, however, cymbals and sibilance tend to get a bit confused and synthetic sounding.
Per il resto, io ho una idiosincrasia nota per gli oggetti audio Philips, con tutto che la marca è olandese e ne ho pezzi sparsi ovunque per casa...
