Introduction   The PS200s are Phiaton's first entry into the in-ear headphones arena. Their packaging looks fancy and their price, $250 says great quality, but our testing showed the PS200s would be more comfortably priced as entry-level models. In terms of audio quality, the PS200s weren't great. They had a subpar performance on our frequency response graph, had a bit more distortion than we typically see, and had an average isolation performance for a set of in-ears. They did, on the other hand, have good tracking, great leakage control, and were capable of a very high decibel output without much distortion. We didn't find the PS200s to be particularly comfortable unless you weren't moving around much. The headphones tend to pop out of place with a relatively light tug or pull, making them less than ideal for exercise.     Page 1 of 12 Tour & Design   Section The Good The Bad Tour & Design • Have a unique look. • Looks a bit cheap, bad cord guards.
