Headphones (1) Review: Special

As someone I am openly critical of nothing that will revolutionize the world of technology, and I happen to love branded products. From excellent ears (a) –Among our favorite cheap earphones– And Affordable smartphonesbrands absolutely dominate the middle class of the technology market, taking advantage of their excellent design and almost layered interiors.

Headphones (1) Noise Cancellation Over Ear, I’m pleased to continue this tradition. They have a better (or better) look More expensive models from Sony, Apple and Boseand they offer almost all the same features for hundreds of dollars. Plus, a very easy to use control set, excellent passive noise isolation, and easy to use apps create these The best headphones You can buy it for under $300.

If nothing else headphones steal design cues directly from the Poger Apple model, the new headphones (1) are clearly unique. The round rectangle comes with a clear outer ear cup that introduces the base chamber inside the headphones, and the right ear cup has a red dot so you won’t place it backwards.

They look like stormtroopers wear their beds during patrols, but for some reason, they don’t make me feel completely weird in public. The white and silver colorways of my review unit are flashy, but I imagine you’ll barely get a glance if you get them in the available Black and Gan metal versions.

One thing you don’t feel until you put on your headphones is how good the controls are. They have a rolly click wheel at the top of the right earcup and a flickering switch below it. This allows you to adjust the volume to play and pause the music, and move back and forth between tracks. You can also hold the switch either fixed to the right or left or unwind. It’s super great when skipping ads during a podcast. Physical controls are far better than touch controls in almost every instance, and these are some of the best and most intuitive controls ever designed.

At the bottom of the right earcup there is an on/off switch (red when off, very useful), a 3.5mm cable port, and a USB-C port for charging. These headphones offer 35 hours of battery life that can withstand Sony, Bose and Apples. This is great on a long trip.

Outside on the right there is a button that lets you use the voice assistant (or if you don’t have any phone, it will call nothing AI), but I like that this button is hidden in a place where you’ve never accidentally hit it.

You will find that the headphones feel very safe on your head thanks to the L-shaped metal bar that attaches ear cups to the headband from the outside. This allows for a more uniform pressure distribution from the synthetic leather and memory foam on the ear pads. They are solid, but comfortable enough for long listening sessions. The only drawback? The pads are technically removable, but there are currently no plans to sell replacements. Hopefully that will change.
