AKG K 830 BT Wireless Headphones Review

AKG K 830 BT Wireless Headphones reviewThe good: Simple, headphones AKG K 830 BT with any Bluetooth device and the battery can last several days of normal use before the last.
The bad: The sound of expensive headphones can not exceed the limits of Bluetooth technology in its current form.
Conclusion: The AKG K 830 headphones offer a simple solution, BT Wireless music fans tired of tangled headphone son, but the disappointing Bluetooth audio fidelity is not worth the price ambitious.


Despite its ease of use and convenience, we hesitate, the AKG K 830 Wireless Headset BT $ 250, without recommending a sharp drop in prices. How many Bluetooth devices such doses do not lose a significant amount of sound quality due to compression of the file, and connectivity with little to offer, and wireless, are difficult to maintain. If you're in the market for a pair of wireless headphones, WR700s TDK is an effective alternative for less than half the price of the AKG K 830 BT headset.
Design
The AKG K 830 BT's ear so the ear soft vinyl and sit on top of the ears, instead of "his" in-ear cans like Sennheiser HD 201S, the temple.
AKG has a strip of thin plastic layer of vinyl quilted understood that the voltage decreases with a helmet as part of a day. The adjustable headband and swivel 180 degrees rooms can accommodate a variety of shapes and sizes head, and I personally had no problems with the ease of use for a period of two weeks, sometimes more than 4 hours.
AKG reduced to cover the weight of these headphones with a glossy black plastic on the controls on board, but makes the material is cheap and offers a noise reduction unit, which is not to inspire confidence in the long term. They are too thin to throw in a bag is probably why AKG includes a protective case to keep your driving time.
In any case, would not be comfortable that you are free unprotected, beaten around in a backpack, and we will notify you of small sections of plaster that emerges from the ear.
Half of the receivers on the left are all the buttons you need to call and music playback functions, including pause / play button at the top, back on the right and left remote, and two Address button at the bottom of the circle to adjust the volume.
There is also a large multifunction button in the middle of a phone you choose to accept and end calls and redial the last number with the number of clicks you have selected. If you remember all the controls, you can also use the microphone and disable the control panel complete with a different set of models of push buttons. We tested all the controls in a couple of weeks, and our only complaint about the keyboard layout is that the change in the amount invested, while the "Volume" is sitting in front of and behind the "volume". It ignores the problem, you can expect an adjustment period (which lasted about a week) to get used to the return key.
With the headphones, the AKG K 830 BT package also includes a small USB connector to charge the bottom of the cup in his left ear, and said the stock market.
Characteristic
AKG provides detailed instructions on how the AKG K 830 BT is compatible with any A2DP device and torque clutch is very simple: just hold down the multifunction button flashes quickly to the bottom of the green LED and blue to show pairing mode unit.
This should find the headset to be visible in a single device for the music player, and the two must match the phone to call when a listening device. After establishing a connection, the headset will remember and connect the next time you turn in the neighborhood.
We were able to make calls and listen to music without interruption of the line talking about 33 meters from the access point before the sound started to cut. The distance is the modern standard of Bluetooth, but unfortunately, so it's audio compression, which leads to a reduction in the value of the AKG K 830 BT headset.
Our tests also check AKG, said that the battery life can last up to 8 hours of continuous playback before fleeing. With just the USB power cable and a laptop, we were also able to earn a couple of days from the device over several listening sessions before the LCD is the need for a fee. Until we forget, the multifunction button long enough to be among the applications, you will be satisfied with the performance of the battery.
Performance
It is logical that the two smartphones with a Bluetooth headset, like most mobile phones and Bluetooth, but all Bluetooth audio accessories to suffer the same problems, you can send an audio signal path from source to the device loses half serious about audio compression quality stereo.
These Bluetooth headsets are AKG otherwise. The production quality is far from what is heard from a headphone jack, but still a step off the field with headphones MP3 players and smartphones today. Compressed audio files, stop the music defined a sound, it is difficult to separate the instruments individually and harmonies. The sound of all significantly towards the end of the spectrum of mud bad, and every song seems to be a dark edge, which is "a little unfair to artists and their expected production.
Completion
Although generally ignored the limits of the transmission of audio signals via Bluetooth to facilitate the operation of the cord for comfort, inflated the AKG K 830 price tag of $ 250 BT's disappointing, especially when alternative technologies such as TDK headphones WR700 Kleer wireless audio quality provide a much cleaner and universal connectivity to any device with an audio jack 3.55 mm, at a fraction of the price. AKG to find a way to get quality sound through the headphones AKG K 830 BT to increase, may take more money from TDK.
