Great sound but beware the sound interference from cords!
By Bone
I have a set of UHP336s and I’ll have to say while these 226s sound aweinspiring and better than 336 they have a major flaw!
What makes them flawed:
Their cloth-braided cords – With the lack of over the ear malleability in the cords. This is a feature of the 336 model and the plastic wrapped cords on the 336 seem to transmit less “rubbing” noise to the ear when the user is moving around. The amount of noise transposed through the cords on the 326 equated to other models is just excessive.
Sound production:
The quality of sound that comes through these ear buds is just amazingly good. IF you may stand to sit still and not move at all you will get an unbelievable experience with the music you play. Only precipitation of this is that if you download low quality music you will be competent to tell how bad anything less than 192K bit rate in truth is…..
All in all the sound is amazing but the interference is just ridiculous, even when equated to like style headphones. It’s almost off-putting to even use the set with the level of this problem.

Flawed design ruins good sound quality
By N. J. Wilts
The quality of sound coming from these headphones is superb, but like other reviewers said, the cloth-esq cover on the cords transmits an uttermost amount of interference and noise while listening to music due to the cords brushing versus your face, clothes, and other objects in your environment. Even the slightest brushing is transmitted up the cord and into your ear.
The only one one may get enjoyment from the nice sound coming from these headphones is if one is sitting perfectly still with the cords suspended in mid air away from your body. The texturing on the cords is just too disruptive, and destruct what other than as supposed or expected would probably be an amazing pair of headphones.

Natural and balanced sound! Overall, Excellent qualty and value for the price…
By Carlos I. Rodriguez
I owned the Altec Lansing Upgrader Series UHP306 headphone and I may tell you the sound is comparable. I replace them with this new backbeat series after my UHP306 broke when they get stuck with my car door (don’t know how it happened). I wanted to buy again the UHP306 (which I already reviewed it) but when I looked at them, their price was higher (I remunerated at Amazon.com $49 for them and now they are at $59). Don’t get me wrong, they’re still worth the money; I just can’t grant me to pay more for the same item. So I get this Backbeat 326 series and I’m happy again. They sound, as I said before, is comparable with the Upgrader Series UHP306. The divergence is that this one has more Treble (they sound crispier) and develop a little more of bass (almost unnoticeable). UHP306 has less treble which seems to fabricate more bass, but Backbeat 326 has level up bass to match up the treble and fabricate a very balanced sound. Actually, ju may even let off the EQ settings in the iPhone and still you’ll get remainder highs, mids, and lows, with crisp sound. The UHP306 is less crunchier and may make you feel that formulates more bass. Backbeat 326 has much more bass than the Sony MDR-EX71SLA Fontopia (which bass is non existence and treble is overpowering for sure) using LATIN EQ in an iPhone 3G sound very similar (just more crisp) with UHP306. The construction is very similar as the UHP306 (cloth cable – very resistant) but I feel backbeat a little bit lighter and more flexibleness in the cable, which I prefer. Also, it comes with TWO (2) years fixed warranty in the US which is a big plus. For sound quality it has a 4.5/5 (Imagine a BOSE triport quality audio with heightened – in truth intensified – bass for with regards to half the price and double the warranty). If you don’t like much high frequencies, in all probability is more a 4/5 (or even 3.5/5 for those BASS FREAKS), but sound is very balanced. For cash value it has a finelooking solid 5/5. I commend it without doubts. Hope this helps!
