DisappointmentArvosana 2/5
Originally I was drawn to the small footprint of the headphones, which would be perfect for commuting and going to the gym. I have now owned the headphones for more or less two months, and they are already showing worrying signs of that usually relate to age.
The overall sound of the headphones is what you can expect from small elements connected via bluetooth. Sounds are very simplistic/over emphasized to compensate for any kind of insulation. This was to something I already knew, and I was looking for headphones with durability and batterylife, not so much hifi sound.
But, even the build quality was very lackluster. During the first month, something happened in the right earpiece, as I could hear something moving around as I was tilting my head. A few weeks passes, and now the cup of the right earphone also vibrates with low sounds, so there is definitely something wrong with the headphones. On top of that, the cool playback controls on the earcups, which requires you to rotate the earcups around their axis, broke on the left earcup. It is a 50/50 chance that I can change to the next or go to the previous track, because the movement is not activating any response.
Overall, I might have gotten the headphones from a bad batch, but there are several problems now, which make me doubt that these headphones will make it even to the one year mark.
