Customer Review

I already have numerous wired headphones in all quality classes and can thus hear the sound differences between cheap and high-quality models relatively well. Headphones come with me several hours a day to use such as in the form of professionally conducting teleconferences with WebEx, making music with my digital piano, for listening to music on the stereo system, while watching TV or while jogging with your smartphone.
The latter was always a bit awkward for me because before running once the cable had to be laid. So I pondered for some time, zuzulegen a wireless headset, but the sound sound much better than a lot of cheap models, and should provide a comfortable fit. So I recently tested the Bluetooth stereo headset TT-BH03 of TaoTronics. My expectations were not very high for the price, but I should be surprised.

Scope of supply:
==========

The scope of supply apart from the actual headset include a concise manual in German language in terms comprehensible German, a USB 2.0 mini-B connector and a high-sounding bag for storage. The USB 2.0 Mini-B connector is actually already outdated, as most smartphones are loaded with Micro-USB connectors. That does not matter, since the plug yes included.

Technical Specifications:
==============

- Bluetooth Version: Bluetooth + EDR V2,1
- Bluetooth profiles: HSP, HFP, A2DP, AVRCP
- Effective range: 10 meters
Listen to eight hours lasting working time for call or music: Time -
- Standby time: up to 200 hours
- Charging time: 3 hours
- Color: Black
- Weight: 72g

I noticed that on the box of 20 hours of play time depending on the use of the speech. In my case, I always come clearly over 8 hours, although I use the headset greatly and often do not turn off. More on that later.

Workmanship and design:
========================

The headset has a folding mechanism in order to stow it after use in compact enclosed bag can. Rattles even after repeated use or wobbles nothing. The mechanism consists of several parts. The first, associated with the earphones bracket is defined when creating the headphones up over the ear, so that the headphones have a secure fit. Something disturbing affect that the cable is placed in this bracket part in a groove from which it like slipping times.
The second part is an about 1.5 cm long intermediate bracket to which the lower part of the headphone is mounted for rotation by approximately 90 degrees. A headband does not exist, since the headset is worn almost in the neck. The neckband is connected up to the intermediate part via a folding mechanism.

The plastics used to make a stable impression and because the headphones of good 1.70 cm height has survived a fall on the tile floor, the quality seems to be good accordingly.

The earphones are externally held in gloss piano lacquer design and have inside a soft, pleasant and well designed upholstery.

The control knobs and signal LEDs are located on the right side and make them visually not so noticeable, is located on the left side an imitation of the controls and signal LEDs

Comfort:
==========

Especially while jogging the day comfort of headphones plays a huge role. He has to sit tight, but not too tight to avoid printing problems. I am also wearing glasses, which does not make the wearing headphones. I run about 3 times a week at least one hour. I had the headphones now in the process a few times and am surprised really more than pleasant.

Setting up and hang in the ear is done in seconds and the headphones are so tight that they do not wobble at high speeds. Nevertheless, I feel even after 1 'hours no complaints at all, not even notice that you are wearing headphones. Also problems with sweating or excessive heat on the ears there is not with me. This is probably because the earpiece but is significantly smaller than in wired headsets.
Only when lying requires some getting used to, because you have to inferior a soft pillow, owing to the neckband.

Operation:
========

For coupling pressing the phone button in the middle of the right earpiece for more than 5 seconds until the red and blue LED flash alternately and switches on a Bluetooth smartphone or tablet. For me, the password entry was not necessary.

The service is optimized for right handed. Circle around the power button, the loudspeakers, QUIET-, Skip Forward and Skip are arranged Backward buttons. These can be erstasten quickly with a little practice in running and react reliably with a bit too firm pressure point, but to the one used to it quickly.

Sound and voice quality:
===================

Again, this headset makes no weaknesses. Of course it does not sound like a 200-EUR headphones, but can compete significantly with my inexpensive, wired headsets. The sound spectrum is very balanced in my view. The bass is surprisingly strong, but not so dominant, as with many other headphones. In the medium and high frequency range, there is nothing to complain about. The channel separation is sometimes even better than that of one of my high end headphones. I can tell because I spatial separation left / right instruments perceive better at the same songs with these headphones. Overall, I feel the sound when listening to music very balanced and pleasant.

The ambient noise attenuation is but really very high that you can not necessarily will notice when a cyclist drives up from behind ring. Then you should make while running and not select the volume too high.

The voice quality I have tested both in individual discussions, as well as in some conference calls with several participants. Though the microphone is very far away through integration into the right earpiece, the understanding was acceptable and no worse than with special voice headsets in the same price category. Should there be a problem, it often helps to increase the microphone volume on the phone or the handset.

The synchronicity of image and sound, I feel very good. The lip movements with movies on tablet or smartphone to adjust sound. Only for musicians headphones are only conditionally usable. When connecting with the TaoTronics Bluetooth Stereo Transmitter on my digital piano, be significant delays with which a play was impossible revealed. When connecting the transmitter to my AV receiver, however, the TV sound was fine, since these extremely small delay does not really stand in the millisecond range. This is not due to the product, but is a feature "of the Bluetooth technology, because it is indeed intended only for voice transmission to Head Seats and not to replace a conventional wireless headphones.

Compatibility:
==========

This point is more important. Therefore, I once listed, so I have the headphones been coupled:

- Samsung Galaxy S3 / S4
- Amazon Fire TV (with additional Bluetooth app)
- Sony Xperia Tablet S
- Nokia Lumia 630
- TaoTronics Bluetooth Stereo Transmitter (AV receiver, MP3 player, etc.)

Battery life:
=========

The charging time corresponds to about 4 hours the manufacturer's specification. So far I managed already maximum of 10 hours on a single charge at medium volume, the run time is dependent on many factors such as the quality of the Bluetooth connection and proximity to the device, the volume, etc.

Conclusion:
====

Since I own these headphones, I use my wired headset rarely .If you consider that you get here for just over 20 EUR a great sounding headset that offers countless uses, 5 stars are a more than adequate evaluation. Optimal and recommended the use of the additional transmitter, as you can so connect the headphones to all non-Bluetooth enabled devices such as a stereo or MP3 player.
