Novero Rockdale Bluetooth Stereo Headphones (Electronics)

Customer Review

Looking for a usable Bluetooth headset for wireless music listening and phone calls on the phone I bought three different devices for testing: A Sony BTN200M for about 55 euros, a Avantree HIVE for about 59 euros and the presented Novero Rockdale for about 27 euros.

After detailed comparison of all three devices I have to say that the headphones Novero is vastly superior to its two each twice as expensive competitors in almost all major disciplines.

Starting with the optics: The headset looks eerily valent, and only at second glance you can see that the aluminum-colored brackets are just painted plastic. That does not bother me in the least. The handset looks really good and is not as fat on your ears like the other two devices.

From carrying and ease of use of this headset, I can also only rave: The volume and control buttons are very useful arranged, easy to feel and operate. They also function as expected, and leave nothing to be desired. Getting used to be exclusively that of the on-off switch also for answering a call and to hang up and serves the music pause and continue running.

Even when putting on the headphones you notice immediately that you are dealing with a closed system, but with a completely closed! This becomes noticeable when placed directly by a slight pressure on the eardrums. One thinks at the beginning: Well, if that's so comfortable in the long run? It's convenient, and after a while you do not notice it.

The earpieces enclose the entire ear and are comfortable light and soft to the surrounding skin on. Even the strap affords any unpleasant contact with the skull because it is padded on the top.

Because the listener to complete so good, they can also have a remarkably large proportion of environmental noise on the sidelines. They can far better than the present to me compared appliances and much better than the closed cable headphone Sony MDR-V 150, I go wearing on the ears for many years.

The reduction of environmental noise comes naturally to the ear in two respects benefit: You hear better what the headset transfers, and one has it not nearly as loud as otherwise provide in order to drown out the noise environment.

Even low volumes you can hear quite relaxed in Berlin's traffic and public transport at medium volume. This is for me a completely new listening experience, which I am simply thrilled again and again! Otherwise I had to if I wanted to hear quiet places in a me accompanying piano music at all, make loud enough for me then hurt his ears at the loud parts. Therefore, I had refrained from listening to classical music on the go. With this headset, it is again possible, even for a different reason:

The sound of this headset is, in general, and especially as measured by the low purchase price, surprisingly good. This means: Clear, balanced and properly differentiated. It's really fun to hear a symphony with this handset, which it already it arrives to identify different instruments and instrumental groups and perceive also fine timbre differences. All this is possible with this handset, it is a true pleasure.
Of course, one must not expect a high-end sound. Nonetheless, I am hypersensitive ears, and I put a lot of headphones away in disgust, because they sound very modest. This one sounds even a little better, that is free, as my years of service in my cherished Sony Cable headphone.

The headset combines exceptionally fast with its source devices. However, the connection is not always very stable, so that there are sometimes some stuttering. Mostly it helps then off it again and again. The stuttering stay then first again for a couple of hours out. So I can live with that.

I can not say much more than that of my headphones has not been let down over the life of the batteries. I have allowed myself to entertain him a few times throughout the day. The smartphone is regularly exhausted rather than the headset to date at all no exhaustion has let on. However, I've also always in the evening hung it to the charger, so that I do not know exactly how long he holds out exactly.

A battery charger is not supplied by the way!

All in all I'm really excited about this very inexpensive device and it'll also be happy to recommend.

EDIT: I just subtracted a star because the headphones while combines all the properties described, but this is not very robust. I just ordered my fourth of its kind. The predecessors have fallen to me from a low height (waist height or less) on the ground and were then no longer be used because of the sound on a Seine was much quieter than on the other; another came from a backpack, which was not very cluttered, broken to the fore.
However, the great sound and reasonable price make me repeatedly reach for this device.
