THE Sennheiser Sound.
If you want a "top-brand" pair of bluetooth headphones under $100 and do NOT want something with OVERKILLING BASS like the Sony xb950bt or some Skullcandys, get these! The thing is, those headphones do not truly portrate sound; they just over expose your ears to extreme bass levels, do not get me wrong I like bass, we all do, but keeping things a little bit balanced is key and these headphones do that.
PROS:
★SOUND: The Sennheiser signature sound is there and it is superb (great soundstage too), with a some extra bass to make things more interesting for the average consumer, but nothing overwheming.
★BATTERY: 25 hours. Enough said.
★DESIGN: They are (nearly) all-black, minimalist and sleek.
★CONNECTIVITY: NFC and bluetooth with aptx, awesome.
★BUILD: Yes they are plastic-made, but they feel very sturdy,flexible and durable.
MIXED:
- Sound changes a little (almost unnoticable) when the headphones are connected via bluetooth vs wired (but this is very common).
-COMFORT: Over-ear for small and medium ears (like mine). On-ear for large ears (depends on how you snug them). The earpads are fluffy. Used them for long sessions without problems. Do not use the headband too tight to your head, it can get very unconfortable up there.
CON:
- CONTROLS: The buttons and slider to control your music on your right earcup only work when you are using your headphones via bluetooth. BUMMER...
