Pros
- 1. Adequate control with physical buttons. I can't stand all the "swipe up on the right earcup to turn up the volume" stuff. 2. Noise reduction. Attenuates approximately 70% of the noise of a subway car in motion. If you turn on the music, then everything is wonderful. In an airplane, the results are a little worse. About 10 years ago, I had headphones from Sennheiser with battery-powered active noise cancellation. I thought that technologies since those times have stepped far ahead and the noise reduction has become an order of magnitude more efficient. But no, he is good, but the miracle did not happen. Do not believe in the story about "put on headphones and it became absolutely silent." 3. The sound quality is very decent. The sound is universal, for all genres. Surprisingly pleasant and soft bass. It sounds a little better over the cable (and the volume margin is much higher) than over bluetooth with the AAC codec, but I can't say that the difference is just stunning. 4. Support connect to two devices at the same time. Switching between sources is instantaneous (see below for some details). 5. Excellent ergonomics. They sit well on the head, do not cause discomfort during prolonged wear. Ears don't sweat. I managed to test them on two five-hour flights. When you take off your headphones when landing, the impression is that they were not on your head. Folds up for carrying in several ways. Convenient carrying case included. 6. Normal build quality and materials. Nothing outstanding, but the design is solid. For the money, however, I would like something more premium. 7. Battery - ok. He honestly keeps his declared 20 hours at high volume.
Cons
- 1. Reserve volume in wireless mode. In principle, enough, but back to back. 2. There are minor software problems. For some reason, the volume buttons do not cause a pop-up volume slider on the poppy, but the volume is changed. Sometimes switching between headphones and laptop speakers behaves inappropriately (switching does not occur, the sound continues to be played in the headphones, even if the laptop speakers are selected). Sometimes the seamlessness of connecting to two devices disappears, let's say you listened to music on an iPhone, then you decided to listen on a poppy, then the connection to the poppy does not happen instantly, but with a lag of a few seconds). There are random disconnections from devices, the application says that the device was disconnected due to an error (very rarely) All this is treated by turning the headphones off and on. 3. Doesn't remember your preferred noise reduction level when turned on. By default, it always connects high. If the headphones are connected via a cable, you cannot select the noise canceling level. It is either on or off. 4. In the cable connection mode, the buttons on the headphones do not work. At first I sinned on the complete cable, but then empirically found out that it was not the case. 5. Only support SBC and AAC. Apple technology works with AAC by default, so this is not a problem for me. But they say that some people know how to convince themselves that they notice the difference between sbc and all sorts of ldac / aptx. 6. Zhmotskaya equipment. Complete wires look like some kind of alias from Ali for $ 2. They clamped the adapter to the aircraft headphones and the power supply. It doesn't seem necessary, but it's a shame. Charging via micro usb in 2022. 7. The software is not as cool as in similar headphones from Sony. There are no various noise reduction settings, an equalizer and other marketing chips. I am absolutely indifferent to picking in the settings, so this also did not become a problem.
Pros
- 1. Simultaneous connection to 2 devices (Multipoint) 2. Noise suppression. Although the voice is almost not pressed, which is sad. 3. Turning on the headphones (power on) brings a pleasant color to the music - they lift up the top and nose a little. 4. Work on a wire with a dead battery. 5. The battery lasts a very long time. Sometimes I forget to charge. 6. sit perfectly on the head. They don't press. Lungs. 7. Ear pads look like new in 2 years. One of the bloggers called these headphones a workhorse. I completely agree. They do not bring delight, or awe - they just work. You turn them on and work. Physical buttons are convenient.
Cons
- It is precisely because of the dullness of this "workhorse" that I am looking for ears for my mood. To play bright. Short range BT reception. Through the wall 3 meters from the transmitter (laptop or phone), distortions begin. When working with two devices at the same time, they can be stupid for a long time when changing the device. For example, you speak on Skype on a PC through your ears. A notification comes to the phone. The ears instantly switch to the phone and remain on it for a while, and you continue the conversation on Skype. You have to quickly turn off the bluetooth on the phone. In complete silence, I hear white noise during noise reduction between melodies, although I didn’t seem to hear it before. The sound quality is very neutral, especially over the wire with the amplifier turned off in the ears. Even Boring. If I want to listen to music pleasantly, I put on an AKG N60 on a wire. The sound quality over SBC/AAC is so-so. There is a sound delay. YouTube sometimes compensates for it successfully, sometimes not so much. The microphone is full g. No. They hear me like from a barrel. There is no noise reduction in the microphone from the word at all. They hear me worse than talking nearby. I participate in conferences at work every day. We have to turn off the microphone always, so as not to disturb the people.
