It's a Sony. Test Sony SBH60

When I saw the first pictures of the new SBH60, I was first impressed by the design - simple, timeless and obviously well made.
This impression is confirmed directly after unpacking. The headset is a bit smaller than it looks in the pictures in kind. With around 70, - it is also quite inexpensive for a Sony product. But let's look now as he reflected:

1. Processing:
In one word: top. Metal strap and high-quality matte black plastic. The Sony logo used is also made of metal which is a nice detail that one would have even with cheap plastic can solve. It weighs next to nothing, but more on that later in "comfort".

2. Sound:
As the great MDR-ZX750BN plays the SBH60 very noisy, which is still the exception in Bluetooth headphones, so even older tracks can be played back with sufficient volume.
The sound is well balanced and clearly designed for prolonged listening. Although only the A2DP protocol is supported the sound is very clear, transparent and detailed with a beautiful three-dimensional illustration. The bass is present and comes across well on a 30mm membrane. But this is also the same time the only shortcoming. For me personally, the basses are not powerful enough, a bit more would be perfect here. However, Sony has an excellent sound for its size, at no time is the feeling on a Bluetooth headset to wear. This was so in the past often different (See AKG).
In direct comparison to ZX750BN it sounds fresh, not matched quite so dark.

3. Comfort:
Due to its very low weight actually not notice the headphones. It is almost impossible.
The connection goes smoothly over NFC. Sony has already implemented the best NFC technology in my eyes and incorporated into virtually any mobile product. All controls are housed this time on the left ear.
The volume key is to feel very well by a clear bump. A quick press and hold this button on + or - can advance or go back titles. Also it works better than it reads.
By doing a conventional jack cables should ever run out of juice and a USB charging cable.
Only the A-and off button is hard to find in the headphones resting - but here makes sure practice makes perfect.

4. Conclusion:
Sony has arrived in my eyes again where it once was: Great design meets great product. The headset acts very mature, nothing seems cheap, everything works fine. In addition, Sony has reconsidered its pricing policy and has the headphones at a fair price. In fact you could unwrap the old slogan again: It's a Sony.
