Customer Reviews
The sound quality is at least as good as any wired headphones I've tried in this price range. They have a neutral quality, with warm but not overpowering bass, solid midrange and clear highs. I can definitely hear the difference between low, medium and high bitrate tracks, and on high bitrate tracks the clarity is so good I'm picking up details I never noticed before. If you push the volume all the way up through the receiver the little amp in the bluetooth receiver will fall apart, but the solution is as easy as maxing out the volume on the phone and pulling back on the receiver volume. (Crank both and there's more than enough volume to do ear damage.)
Fit is exceptionally good for off-the-shelf cups. I haven't had a problem wearing them for hours at a stretch. When it's not clipped the receiver hangs about a foot below my chin. It could have been a little shorter, but the length doesn't get in the way. Phiaton appears to have gone the extra mile in reinforcing the wires at the buds, where they join from the buds, and going into the receiver. Ironically, it's better than most wired headsets I've used
The receiver is 2"x1.5" and it's light enough to clip on the front of a shirt without pulling. The mic is in the receiver and it does a good job of picking up voice. The controls on the receiver for phone, volume, power and track are solid enough to avoid being set accidentally, at least so far. The one area that looks vulnerable is the cover for the USB port.
Battery life is...unknown. I've used it for several hours and it didn't die. Unfortunately there isn't a way to gauge battery life, but if you plug it in every night it won't be an issue. These are Bluetooth 3 compatible, but I haven't tested connecting to more than one device. That has been reported as an intermittent issue in one review I saw.
The controls are platform agnostic on an iPhone 3GS running iOS5 and a HTC Titan with Windows Phone 7.5. One of the reasons I wanted this was to keep the call and track controls I had on my wired iPhone headset when I got my new Windows Phone. They work perfectly. They should work on Android, too, but I haven't tested that.
All in all, these are amazing. Not having the phone wired to my head all the time is a huge improvement and I can't think of anything I've given up. The phone/playback controls work on Windows Phone 7.5 like they did on the iPhone, they're comfortable enough to wear all day, and the sound quality is fantastic. The only thing to complain about is that I didn't see a charging cable included. (It takes a micro USB.)
If you're considering Beats, Bose, or anything else at the $125 level you really need to give these consideration.
The sound is amazing. This is the best sound I've ever heard from ear buds. I have used headphones that didn't sound this good. My brother is a professional audiophile and he was impressed.
I haven't run the battery down, though I spend hours listening to books or music while working. I charge it up on my lunch break and it's good for the afternoon.
Cons: This is a small annoyance, but there's a slight delay in the audio when watching Netflix on my Galaxy Note. I'm not usually staring at the actors' lips anyway, so I don't let it bother me. The sound quality makes up for this drawback. The same issue exists for music videos (think Sarah Brightman, Leona Lewis, Shania Twain, Faith Hill), but I think the delay is less with videos for some reason. Of course this isn't an issue when listening to music or books.
There is little or no noise cancellation. The system works great on phone calls as long as you are quiet. Try doing the dishes while on the phone and your friend will protest the background noise and just might hang up on you.
Cons - Has to connect to my PC or laptop to charge. Did not come with adapter plug for AC outlet.
Excellent sound and long battery life. Ear pieces fit nicely and with the optional sizes, you should find a perfect fit. Pairing is a snap. Read more
