1) Let us detail helmet starting with the positives:
- The packaging is solid and well protects the headphones during sending.
- The helmet is stylish, comfortable, it is not too tight nor too little, in addition, the studding in faux leather can be cleaned easily.
- Autonomy of the batteries is perfect, I'm never got around and I do not know if there is a signal that warns that the helmet will stop.
- Sound quality is excellent.
- The switch "on off" is a delight for the judgment (for the start, things get complicated: see below).
2) Let us then the points that could be modified:
- The headphone operation light is too "present". People who wear glasses will blink reflect it. Those who do not wear will be embarrassed by flashing in the darkness.
A piece of black foam seal sticker with a hole on the offending LEDs has definitely solved the problem (the bonnet allowing access to the LED is "clipped" and is easily removed with the fingernail).
- The "cord end" comes for holding the folded helmet, could be replaced by a small clip on the helmet, it would be faster to use and less "Bricolé".
- From time to time, playing the title "quavers" for one to two seconds is very unpleasant.
3) I will conclude with the three points that annoy and may lead to not buy this helmet:
- The Shuffle seems not to take into account all the files on the card. The headset agrees to read a map to 16 gigabytes but apparently not read completely.
Some titles come back several times in one day while others are never read, even the bad days.
- The helmet does not store the previous settings, the choice of playing (random or not) and for the pitch. We must adjust the helmet to each startup from the set of tedious factory presets.
- The "Music Mode" slider that allows the adjustment of sound and change file (previous or next) also allows pausing Totally unnecessary and confusing.
Let me explain:
When we want to lower the sound, it does not drop low enough but activates the pause. We must therefore push in reverse to re-reading, with a sound that has not been lowered enough.
As I write this function "pause" is useless because, reading "in the file saving order" and after stopping the headset, the playback starts from the place where the helmet was arrested .
In reading, "random" and principle, they laugh to read the file completely into force before the stop, since they will not listen twice the same title.
CONCLUSION:
The majority of the points I noted in the second paragraph are "mechanical" and easily modifiable.
The ones I mentioned in the third paragraph are more difficult, except "pause" function which, in my opinion, could easily be disabled.
This kind of object is "fun" and must therefore be easy to use.
This is not the case, damage.
My ratings for this helmet: 6/10.
In summary:
The ideal headphones (even hear a bit more expensive) read the whole map from 16 giga with good quality and without "wobble". He will read the files "ejecting" from the play list read the files (for example) for less than 100 hours and can be restarted in the stop configuration.
