Priced at just £15.99 from Amazon I was not expecting too much from this budget headset but in fact, I was very pleasantly surprised by their performance. Having tried them blind I would have expected to pay around £30-£40 for them.
In the small, mid-market box was the headset themselves, a hard case, three pairs of differently sized earbuds, a short USB to the micro-USB charging cable, a tie-back clip and a well written and easy to read User Guide. A User Guide is not really needed for this sort of headset as it obvious how to use them but nevertheless, I will include the Guide on the end of my unboxing video. Switch to full screen and pause to read it.
Build quality seems fine, the metal earpieces seem robust and well made. The earbuds are quite large and tend to project outwards a bit too much for my taste but once in place are comfortable enough and are securely fixed looping over the ears. However, experimenting with the other earbuds helped with the comfort and sound quality. The cable connecting the two earpieces I found to be quite short compared to some others and I had no need of the little clip included to secure the cable behind the neck. It is a pity that the earbuds do not clip together for storage as some rivals do. This headset is IPX7 waterproof which means they should be fine in the worst weather and can even be immersed in water up to 1M deep, although I would be reluctant to put this to the test. Note that the Amazon listing says they are IPX7, the User Guide says IPX6, so take care with the water! A single ninety-minute charge should give up to ten hours of audio playing time.
Pairing with my phone was quick and easy and the connection seemed strong and stable when I took them on a run. Press the MF button on the right headset to pair with the two volume/track buttons next to it.
Usually, budget headphones have poor audio but not so here. Sound quality was excellent. There is a decent level of bass and although it is no rival to Dr Dre’s it is better than on most in-ear Bluetooth headsets I have tried. Mid tones are clear and well defined with non of the muddiness common to cheap headsets. All the instruments could be heard separately and clearly. Higher frequencies are again sharp and clear although for me perhaps a little too abrasive at times, but that can be down to my personal preferences.
For the price, this is a great buy. A decent quality well-made headset with a full range of accessories, an excellent User Guide and a very much above average sound quality.
The Good
