Review on Sabbat X12 Ultra wireless headphones, Delicate cherry by Haissam Abo Fahd ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall good, but expected more.

I want to point out that I have no idea how bad/good the sound of these headphones is compared to other wireless earbuds/plugs, but they can't compete with other headphones I use at all. The FiiO F9 hybrid wire earplugs are a whole new level in comparison. And these are more of a headset/travel portable for bus trips. There were problems with pairing at first. At first, my phone did not see anything, then it hooked one earpiece, but could not hook the second one. I had to do a reset (fortunately, headphone brainwashing is intuitive and takes 6 seconds), after which everything worked and works stably. What with one earphone, what with two. In general, for 5 thousand not bad, but not surprised. Expected more. From the "intellectual" responses of proactive market users like "what did you want?" and "the fool himself! Everything works for me!" I ask you to refrain, because they do not carry value.

Pros
  • 1) Wireless, they catch a signal quite far. 2) Excellent autonomy and charging speed. 3) Compactness. I liked the matte case with a charging indicator. The indicator is recessed into the body and the light from it is seen more at a right angle, which is convenient: like a diode lamp, it does not constantly glow, but if you wanted to, you looked. 4) Design, of course. Although I am not a fashionista and I am far from 16 years old, but the beautiful design of the ears (in my case it is "Infinite Universe" / "flame pink") directly bribed. Something remotely similar to expensive plugs from JH Audio and Noble Audio. 5) They sit quite comfortably in my ears, but I would not dare to run and jump with them. 6) The sound quality during a conversation is normal. I did not hear it myself, but the interlocutors say that they can hear it well.
Cons
  • 1) Alas, the promised Hi-Fi sound was lost somewhere along the way. It's not even close here. In terms of sound, these headphones are more of a compromise solution and I would not use them purely for listening to music. They play as if you are under water, well, in general, in their sound there is no separation of low and medium frequencies "by floors", they all interfere in a heap. High frequencies? - no, I didn’t hear . they are pushed into the far corner for the sake of the softness of the sound. And the sound of the X12 is soft, but at the same time very inexpressive: no voice/instrument reverberations for you, no texture and bass density for you. Headphones can do some simple "boom-boom", but this is not enough to, for example, hear the bass guitar part in the mix against the background of other instruments. At the same time, there is volume in the sound and some kind of scene. I don't know where they come from, but they are there. 2) The voice signals of the headphones sound too loud in my opinion. I'm not used to such loudness - I'm not deaf. It happens that you put the earpiece in your ear at 12 o'clock at night in silence, and the lady from the earpiece screams with all her might: "CONNECTED!111" - Why is this? 3) As it turned out, external noise is not isolated in principle.
