At just £24.99 this has to be one of the most inexpensive over-ear Bluetooth headphones I have tried. In fact, it proved to be rather better than I was expecting. Inside the box aside from the headset itself was a standard mini-jack to mini-jack audio cable, soft storage bag, charging cable, and a small, well printed and very comprehensive User Guide. I reproduce the User Guide at the end of my unboxing video. Switch to full screen and pause as needed to read it.
The headset is very lightweight but has rather stylish and upmarket good looks. The aluminium alloy body feels a bit flimsy and the headband and earcup padding are thin and with visible trailing wires leading to the earcups. That said, the construction quality seems OK to me with no sign of the padding on the band working loose, poor stitching, or weak joints – all elements that have failed on similar headsets I have owned in the past. In fairness, it must be said that the visible wires are flat format and robust. Time will tell and if something fails in the future I will update the review accordingly.
The headset is supplied with a plain audio cable and a USB to micro-USB charging cable but both are decent quality and work just fine. The track and volume controls are nicely positioned and very easy to find and identify by sight and by touch. The earcups have limited mobility and do not fold for storage.
The Bluetooth 4.1 pairing is simple enough and achieved in the usual way by depressing the Multifunction/Power button for several seconds. Once paired I found the connection to be stable and strong. The headset will also work with the supplied audio cable when the battery fails and there is little if any difference in quality when used in either mode.
The most important feature of any headset is the audio quality and bearing in mind that this is a budget device I was fairly happy with the sound. There is a decent amount of bass and it is clear, smooth and undistorted. Mid tones are clear and detail..
