Earbuds do not seem as popular as gigantic RGB sporting over the ear headsets, but there are still a few who prefer a more subtle approach to mobile audio. The Rosewill EX-500 and 700 look similar but hide some differences inside. The EX-500 uses a ceramic driver and a 10 mm dynamic driver while the EX-700 has a balanced armature driver and an 8mm dynamic driver. That means there is a difference in impedance, 33 Ohm and 26 Ohm respectively though both retain a range of 20-40 kHz. TechPowerUp tried both of these $40 earbuds out, read on to see what differences they found in the audio.
"The recently launched Rosewill EX-500 and EX-700 aim to take on the usual brands that dominate the price range by offering high-quality craftsmanship coupled with a nice accessories pack and – of course – better sound. We listen closely to see whether they can hold up on these promises."
