The headset comes in a valent packaging, which essentially involves hardcase including headphones, audio and USB charging cable. A German and English, easy to understand instruction manual is also included. It is supplied no power adapter, which either an existing USB power adapter must be used, or is but recharge for example, by plugging it into a computer. Given the fact that on the one hand, a commercial micro-USB connector is built to load and on the other hand now is likely to have at least one USB power adapter probably every household, seems sufficient to me. The robust and high quality acting hardcase also serves the transportation, where it occupies a lot of space in a backpack, since the headphones can not be folded. There continue to the aforementioned cables are stowed, which must be carefully folded up to fit. For everyday wear, this solution does not seem very well thought out to me.
After unpacking the headphones to charge initially. In my case, it took only about three quarters of an hour, the headset seemed therefore already have a high level. In everyday life, it is striking that the headphones quickly loads and despite intensive use is quickly ready for use again. The specified operating time of 20 hours is realistic. By the devil, however, is unfortunately continues nowadays a regrettable trend by the battery is permanently installed in the headset. It remains to be hoped that this holds as long as possible.
Visually, the headset looks simple and unobtrusive, which I personally enjoyed more than the now often styled headphones from other manufacturers. Qualitatively, there is nothing wrong in principle, with the headphones creaks when you use the controls. That bothers everyday but only if the elements are constantly used. Unlike other reviewers my buttons appear to be a total well-operated, and the volume wheel convinced me.
The coupling of the headphones, for example to a phone is not a problem. I personally have the NFC functionality not tried, but uses the ordinary pairing. If there is no Bluetooth available or the battery is empty, by means of a jack-sheathed cable, the connection can be established. For the Bluetooth connection, make sure that is actually used apt-X in order to ensure the best possible transmission quality. This depends on whether the phone supports apt-X; Should this be the case, it is used automatically. The tonal difference to ordinary A2DP can be heard clearly; when using apt-X headphones sound much clearer while in ordinary A2DP blurring occur. However, this is not a problem of the headphones, but the Bluetooth transmission.
Ever the most important thing, namely the sound: the devil looks balanced with a strong bass foundation, rich mids and clear highs. He is to present a broad stage capable and confident this fine resolution. He sounds a total of center-weighted and warm without being washed out. Here, voices and strings stand out clearly without sounding sharp. Particularly convinced the passive shield, penetrate through the little noise from outside. I tested with music from the area of progressive rock (eg Opeth -. Pale Communion), Acoustic, psytrance, Easy Listening and Pop.
The headset is tight, with a broad head like mine even painful. Here helps a few days to widen the headphones on a wide Bücherstapel. The longer it is expanded, the better is the wearing quality. This is m. E. at the same time the biggest criticism. Because of wearing quality and above criticisms I would to to 3 stars, but the sound convinced me so that I raise to 4 stars.
The headset quality I have not tested this, so can not comment.
