Howard Leight Sync - hearing protection headphones (tool)

Customer Review

The headphones have better ratings than could have been initially expected. The shield of the headset is for my purposes fine. Contrary to other reviews, the headphones sit snugly, even with a larger head, the processing is solid.

You have to make compromises in sound quality. In this price range there are already relatively good Studio Headphones by reputable manufacturers. The sound is highly removed from the ear, which can be compensated only by loud turn the headphones. The volume is compared to comparison headphones here much quieter (the volume on the PC I have, for example, usually placed at level 12, a comparable volume reach the headset until Stage 20 (12% and 20%)). The headphone shells are not equipped with a label "R" (for "right") or "L", so that the right side has to find out - what comparatively difficult because they are the only headphones I own and ever obsessed hab, in which the cable runs on the "wrong" side, namely on the troublesome right.

The sound itself is weak. He can be described well as nasal, the centers are clearly badly perceived, accordingly, there is something missing in the depths, thus they do not have well-balanced sound.

Next it can be stated that the supplied stereo mini-jack cable, is gossamer quite short and an impression of a cable that makes for a very short time gets a loose connection.

All in all we can say, the headphones are ok in terms of 3 stars, due to the sound quality you should not buy them but rather because the primary function of shielding. If one is aware of the above-mentioned things clear they are all in all good headphones - but nothing more.

tl; dr:
Sound level is low, to walk and nasal, cable too thin and on the wrong side, processing and screening in order.
