The headset comes in a rather unspectacular packaging.
All the more remarkable is the impeccable workmanship.
The matt black of the bracket is only slightly susceptible to fingerprints.
The body designated by a Mitrezensenten as pink colored design elements
I perceive as rich and bright red. The headset looks simply stylish!
Even the pull mechanism of earcups for adaptation for the head is very intelligent
solved. For this not the bars are pulled apart but the earcups
will adjust the strap, very elegant.
I want to compare these headphones with my August EP650, which as
OverEar in the same form factor AncStudio.
The Sound
---------------
Who sets on sound value in the right place and still more correct than the
August EP650. In comparison, the bass of AncStudio similar deep-reaching
but not quite as soft, which I personally but even more appeals.
The highs are present and clear to solve.
The centers are also well matched. Live recordings with the
AncStudio reproduced with wider stage.
The sound experience is here adjusted by the EQ something really lively!
The EP650 is not so at ease to work and play always
cautious on, even under the aid of an EQ.
The headphones play clean down to 20Hz and between 80 and 120 Hz, the
Bass neat punchy. Exemplary When August is the bass clearly
soft and not ideal for printing more advanced music. The plays AncStudio
Here a class higher!
The sound quality is very tidy and to almost daily use in the
last three weeks seems sound a bit "formed" to have the headphones.

Total gets the sound of my whopping 5 Stars.

ANC function (Active Noise Cancelling)
-------------------------------------------------- --------
I was really curious to the ANC function, which indeed on the plane, or
Bahn to filter out the noise.
But what was implemented, is more of a reduction in a frequency range
Bass both the noise from the outside but unfortunately also in the leaked
Music. Here the dealer has already signaled that to improve
you want to work.
During a telephone conversation, however, the ANC feature is awesome. The otherwise very present
own voice enters neatly into the background. My opposite could not
make that I use a hands-free and certainly not a
Headphones.
***
Due to the weakness in Active Noise Reduction during
Listening to music, there is at this point only 4 stars.

Controls
------------------------
The operating elements, here is a lot of really, not completely finished
thought. The call answer button is centered placed on the outside of
left earpiece and is easy to operate. When listening to music, this serves as a
Play / Pause button.
The volume buttons have a secondary function, which I think is good.
A quick press and the volume is controlled, a long press
assumes the continuation or downshift a title.
The power button is a slider switch, but could this something valent
be and also to better serve something sublime stands out from the casing.
The same applies for the ANC function power button.
***
Half a star deducted at this point because the buttons overall still good
are operated.

Ergonomics
----------------
Now for comfort. This headset is a little pressure at the top and on the
Ears. Now in winter temperatures is very advantageous because
I put the headphones over my wool cap and thus still sounds
are largely suppressed from the outside. The month of August is compared
considerably looser on the head and when worn on the same wool cap, goes
lost some sound.
***
For comfort, there is of me 4.5 star.
***
Duration and Others
---------------------------------
Finally, a look at the connection options
If the battery is empty again - keeps me on 70% volume> 10h! - May
be heard without problems via jack cable. Charging can be the headphones
via Micro USB, which can also be used via USB cable to the PC for charging
can. Unlike the August headphones is via the USB cable as
Detected playback device, unfortunately only in mono mode, what to listen to music and also
to call is not sufficient.
In Bluetooth mode the headset even has the APTX protocol, which
with virtually non-existent noise in connection with my Samsung
Galaxy S5 makes a positive impact.

Conclusion & Recommendation
-----------------------------
All in all, I forgive 4 stars with potential for!
Once the ANC function is improved, there is a whopping 5 stars!
These headphones are necessarily a buy recommendation for anyone who super sound
want to experience, sometimes to many phone calls and a high
want to flawless voice connection.
Thumbs up!
