Review on 🎧 Andrea Communications Surround Sound Recording Phones with 3D Technology by Robert Abdi

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Worst sounding headset I have ever used.

This is quite simply the worst audio device I have ever used with displeasure in my life. I don't tend to exaggerate and I really wanted to like it and was hoping to get a great deal but unfortunately it's really just really bad. Before I get to the sound, let's start with the truly awful materials and build quality. The thing is thin. Like a weak dollar store. Is the metal piece around the ear cups? nope Really cheap plastic with a metallic finish that you can find on cheap toys. You have to be really gentle with them. Thank goodness the kit comes with a case which is actually better than headphones. Perhaps the most important thing this case will do, even more than protect your headphones, is give you a neat little place to fold them up, put them away and forget about them because you never want to see them again, because they are just terrible. In terms of audio quality, I have no idea what audio gear other reviewers who say sound great have used in the past, but unless my product has all sorts of flaws, those reviewers must have had earwax for years. rocking and walking around with plastic buckets on their heads because the sound is just gross. Yes, the bass is booming, but that's about it. just boom It's not tight or spectacular. It's quantity, not quality. The mids and highs are so muted and misty it sounds like you're underwater, with abalone filled with seaweed covering your ears. It's really that bad. Whatever the mic's capabilities, and I don't blame the dual mic, the overwhelmingly depressing sound quality completely negates the value of this product. for under $10 but I mind, you can get $10 headsets here at Revain that will beat this one. When they came out, the actual MSRP was actually over $140! Absolutely unbelievable. So if you buy them, only buy them for binaural microphones. I'm not mad at the seller (reseller) so I won't be returning them. Instead, I'm salty in every way at Andrea Electronics. I have emailed them and am waiting for their response. If they can fix my issues with that horrible headset joke I'll update my review with that information.

Pros
  • The Andrea SuperBeam Headset records the user's listening environment in 3D surround sound with binaural stereo microphones on each earbud.
Cons
  • Some flaws
