Customer Review

Meanwhile, I can assess four Bluetooth Headsets (down the order as I ordered):
- Manhattan Fathom
- Philips CitiFold SBH8000
- Boompods Headpod (no headset)
- August EP650

First: The August EP650 is in this series my personal winner. Did he deserve 5 stars? This because of its strong Basslastigkeit certainly not, but the rest quite convinced.
Sequentially.

Manhattan Fathom:
Covers:
- NFC (not my phone, it could not test therefore)
- Remembers two Bluetooth - Devices
- Foldable
- To Ear design
- Left mussel festival, right shell adapts (tilting, panning, rotating yes). Thus, individual earphones and forms are compensated.
- Large keypad ..
- Separate volume control.
- Possible connection via audio cable.
- Long term, quick charging time
- Bag, charging cable and audio cable supplied
- Charging time quite short

Resis:
- Reversed left and right channels (annoying during gaming immensely)
- Can during an active Bluetooth - connection not load (I have not tested directly, is only me so noticed)
Microphone is not the strength of this
Headsets, but not as bad as that of Philips.

Would in this the channels have not been reversed, I would have ordered me no other more!

Philips CitiFold SBH8000:
Covers:
- Foldable (very small)
- Ansich good sound
- Possible connection via audio cable
- Charging cable and audio cable supplied
- Only one button for play / pause and answer or hang up on the right earpiece outside. For volume and track skipping as a small slide switch with four (!) Positions on the rear side.

Resis:
- Sitting on the ear hurts quite fast
- Earcups are laterally stiff, only up / down is balanced (tilting yes, no swinging, no rotation)
- Open lines of the temples to the shells
- When Bluetooth connection quite loud noise transmission in the right handset. The make Manhattan and August, but are much quieter.
- Pressing the Play / Pause - button carries over very loud on the earpiece
- Charging time quite long
- Microphone transmits with stronger Störgerauschen. Had to repeatedly switch back on your mobile phone, because nothing was understood on the other side.

Boompods Headpods:
Covers:
- Foldable
- Possible connection via audio cable
- Charging port and audio cable

Resis:
- PROVIDED Very stiff and strong tension headband (there was not a minute endured with this headphone)
- Rigid earpieces since moving absolutely nothing
- The sound is very bassy and can be bad on the phone - compensate Equalizer
- If in an existing and active Bluetooth - connection is switched to the phone nor the wireless on the mobile phone, then the Bluetooth - connection and cut up a short time later. (Which did not work!)
- Keys could be sensing the worst here
- In-ear design

Contains no micro, so it falls from the valuation.

August EP650:
Covers:
- Very angnehmes wear
- To Ear design
- Small, yet well erfühlbares keypad
- Ears are tilted in a small scale, swivel and rotation capable
- Coupling to two devices possible
- Very fast connection with existing coupling
- Charging time quite short, at runtime I can not say anything yet.

Resis:
- Bass-heavy sound, but can get by equalizer in the handle. While gambling does not mind so much.
- You actually sweating slightly below the ears.

All you can hear music by audio cable, so you can get away from the dependence of the battery.
Charging - and audio cables are all headphones while.
The design is more or less personal taste. I've still plugged into an appropriate category.

Ranking / Rating:
August EP650 4.5 stars
Manhattan Fathom 4 stars
Philips CitiFold SBH8000 2 stars
Boompods Headpods 1 star
