Great Headphones, better Speakers, Very multi-functional
All i can say is Wow, They are really much better than i anticipated.
The headphones are very solidly built, You open them into speakers by squeezing some hidden buttons on either side of the top section. The music's Volume Fades in to Speaker mode, great mids and lows, All around great set of speakers.
They dont work as well as i thought they would for telephone use. Much better performance in a quiet environment.
I couldnt get them to work as a stereo source for my computer, But they work perfectly with my HTC touch.
Its great that they charge over USB and they also are Plug N play Over USB so full digital audio.
It sounds and looks strange, Maybe I'll post a video review, But they sound really crisp when you flip them out and put them on your head, so the speakers are hovering over your ears, you kind of look like a rabbit, but the stereo is perfect.
I really am surprised by the clarity of the speaker mode, Comparable to Loud clear laptop speakers, Like found on the XPS m1710.
The buttons are a little difficult to get used to but they are extremely functional, (works with both FF next track and RW Back track and STOP by holding play mode on the HTC touch)
One thing i want to point out is that these ARE NOT BT 2.0, The hardware revision is BT 1.2 (from manual).
THESE ARE HANDS DOWN The most clear bluetooth headphones or speakers i have heard, The headphone mode is not as loud as i would like, Maybe someone can hack that?
I have owned 5 different pairs of Bluetooth 1.2 headphones and they have all blipped and cut out for seconds at a time when playing in-range, i am very happy to say the only time i have heard static is when roaming 20-50ft away from my phone.
Dedicated Pairing button is a plus, makes it much easier to pair.
Mini-usb universal connector is another plus.
Battery life is very good, the headphones came charged enough for a few hours of use, Outer side of the headphones has that "rubberized Plastic" feel that is used on the HTC touch, Inspiron Laptops, HTC wing tmobile etc very smooth grippy feel to it.
All in all, These are Part Headphone, Part Amazing wall of portable sound. Definitely loud enough to be background music with 0 blows pops or crackles.
I would reccomend these to anyone who wants to get a Really creative Gift for a techie who has a newer phone, I bet these would work great with the Platstation 3 as well.
This is definitely one of the best purchases i have made in a while, very innovative, very well made. |
