Review on ๐ŸŽง Alphasonik ASE300BT: Sweatproof Bluetooth Sport Headphones with Mic - IPX5 SplashProof, Ergonomic Design for Unmatched Comfort by Karen Peterson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Please test on multiple devices before leaving a review. Great sound, but maybe for me. Bad glasses! Does not completely cover the ears.

**UPDATE** to my original review________________________ I realized I made a mistake in my testing but it didn't change my mind in the end but it has changed to another Headphones I tested impacted. My desktop doesn't have native bluetooth so I got a plug and play bluetooth dongle. What I didn't notice on the dongle sales page was the recommendation to download a specific driver if I want to use it with my headphones. I tried installing the dongle driver and it didn't make much of a difference, I think the bluetooth dongle just isn't good enough. In order to! I tested it on my phone and tablet and there was a NOTICEABLE difference and sound improvement! Big difference! It was enough that I wanted to keep the headphones because they sounded much better than the Ausdom ANC8, I also compared them. That being said, they weren't as sharp in the mids and highs as I would have liked, but they were much better and I feel like I'm getting fantastic value for money if I keep them. Lesson: Testing on multiple devices. and check your Bluetooth drivers. Breach of Deal: I wear glasses and have a medium sized head. They were very uncomfortable to my ears after an hour. It actually hurt. I could probably snap the tape to loosen them up a bit but didn't want to risk breaking it or not being able to send it back. I didn't feel too tight on my head, it's just that they don't cover my whole ear so they pressed the frame against my glasses. If it wasn't for that, the headphones would definitely have stayed with me! _________________________________________________ First Review:** WARNING** You may not be for me. The sound is very good if you like bass and don't mind that the bass is ahead of the rest of the range. I love bass, but I can't stand it when it mixes other areas or the music loses its timbre. It was difficult to find reviews not only about these headphones, but also about others, in which the bass was not emphasized as the main quality. I want to hear all music/sounds, not just low frequencies. Again, this was a minor thing that most people won't bother with if you're into bass more than mids and lows. That being said, they sound really good compared to other headphones (if you're into bass right now). As much as I complained about the bass, it didn't completely muffle or overwhelm other noises like most others. It was slightly muted. The bass wasn't as rich and full as I was hoping, but definitely better than some of the other more expensive headphones I've tried, like the $69 Ausdom ANC8.

They sit very well on the head, not too tight. The sound is rich and good (although I prefer crisper highs/mids, everyone else will love them) The cabinet is great! Disadvantages: discomfort in the ears. The ear cushions are not that big so they cover 90% of my ears but still fit the edge of my ears. Another problem is that I wear glasses and it hurts after an hour. Maybe it would be better if I flexed the strap more to loosen them, but I didn't wait to find out. It pinched the top back of my ear where the temples of my glasses are. The sound is not as clear as I would like. The mids and highs are a bit muffled behind the bass, and the bass is deep and thick, but not punchy and rich. For example, the bass isn't thick and punchy, it's punchy, but it's a muted punch that really stood out on Alice in Chains' "Down In a Hole" and (I hate that song, but it helps check the clarity of the bass). ) "This Power" Will.I.am. The bass is muted for 1 minute. Dizzee Rascal's "Bassline Junkie" sounds like bass through the wall or something.
