i Tech BlueBAND Sport Stylish Headphones Review

Design and Construction

The i.Tech BlueBAND has a sporty design with a flashy red and silver color theme. The headset is of the neckband type and goes behind your head, while the speakers rest on your ears.
The left speaker has the music playback keys, which include the Play/Pause key and also acts as the Power key. Then there are the FF/REW keys, the Call key and the volume control keys on the rim of the speaker. The Volume + key when pressed and held for some time activates or deactivates the SRS WOW HD feature.

 

The BlueBAND Sport is not adjustable in any way. You just turn the speakers around which are held by flexible rubberized plastic to make them sit on ears and that's about it. Due to the one-size-fits-all design, there is no guarantee that the headset will fit your ears perfectly.

Unfortunately, when I tried them on, they did not fit firmly on my ears.  What made it worse was that I could not move my head up or down without displacing the headset off my ears. Also, the neck band prevents you from lying down or resting your head. The headset can be quite uncomfortable to wear for long.
The build quality of the headset was fine and it seemed rugged enough to take a sufficient amount of abuse. The buttons also worked well and reacted with a clicking sound. The headset is also sweat resistant, which is a good thing, as it can be used while you work out in the gym.

Performance
Pairing the headset with a device is very simple. You first have to press and hold the Play/Pause key for eight seconds, after which the status LED starts flashing Red and Blue alternately. At that point you start searching for the headset through the device you want to pair the headset with. It can either be a mobile phone, a computer or a media player. As long as it supports the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you'll get stereo sound through the headset.
After searching and finding the headset, you click on it to start pairing by entering the pairing password, 8888, and you are done! Now, even if you turn off either the headset or the device, they'll automatically pair back when you turn them on again. I tried pairing it with a Nokia 5700 XpressMusic, an Asus P565, Samsung L700 and an Acer laptop, and it worked perfectly.

OK before we start with the sound quality, here is a little bit of gyaan regarding the working of stereo Bluetooth headsets. Stereo Bluetooth requires the presence of the A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) in both the devices. The device transmitting the data compresses and converts the audio data so that it can be streamed over Bluetooth.

The receiving device then decodes the data back and plays it through the speakers. Now, since the device usually compresses the audio data into a lossy format, the quality of the audio that you ultimately hear isn't 100% of the actual audio file. Add to the fact that most people use MP3 format, which itself is compressed, and you can understand why Bluetooth headsets are not popular among audiophiles. They still swear by the wired headphones regardless of the mess that the wires create.

AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) is another Bluetooth profile for wireless headsets, which enables you to control your music with buttons placed on the headset such as Play/Pause, FF/Rew, etc. wirelessly.
Now, coming back to the sound, the quality of the headset is pretty good. However, the bass was slightly on the lighter side for my taste. Initially, I thought it might be because the speakers weren't very securely placed on my ears but then even after manually pressing them on my ears the bass performance didn't improve substantially.

The high frequencies weren't perfectly clear as well, however, the mids were fine. The maximum volume of the headset was quite high and should be sufficient for most users. The headset also has the SRS WOW HD feature, which is activated by pressing and holding the Volume + key. On activating it, it makes the sound louder and adds a bit more clarity with 3D surround effects. Unfortunately, there was also some distortion that I could hear after activating it and the 3D effect didn't really appeal to me. Overall, considering the limitations of A2DP, the sound quality was good but not exceptional.

When used for calls from a mobile phone, the voice of the caller could be heard clearly. The microphone, despite being placed on the side, picked up my voice very well. However, when outdoors, I had to speak loudly to make myself heard.

Battery Life
The BlueBAND Sport has a 340 mAh Li-Pol battery. The rated music playback time was up to eight hours, while the talktime was also about eight hours. The headset has a standby time of 200 hours. It managed to achieve the manufacturer's reported time, which is a good thing, as eight hours is a perfectly acceptable amount of time for a Bluetooth headset.

Verdict
The i.Tech BlueBAND Sport is a great-looking headset with a good battery life. The controls on the side are large and easy to use, and the pairing process is swift. The sound quality is decent but not great.

The bundles storage case is great for carrying it around in your bag without damaging the headset. Priced at Rs. 4,799 MRP

Creative EP-830 Headphones Review

Design and Construction
The DP-830 are a pair of headphones. The speakers have a hammer-like, with chrome accents on the sides. Grill is wire mesh on the back of the speaker grille. The speaker is a bit long, which makes it easier for you, or your ears.

 
The DP-830 comes with three pairs of silicone ear in different sizes. The use of neodymium-magnet speaker 9 mm. With a frequency response from 6 Hz to 23,000 Hz Impedance 16 ohms of skill and sensitivity at 1 kHz 106 dB / mW. The cable has the traditional model and consists of 1.2 meters (4 feet) of oxygen-free copper. Speakers 9gm but without the packaging. The design of the PE-830 is compared with the fasted EP430 or 630th In addition, no off-color black standard. Not bad, telephones, but can not appeal to everyone. Who knows something to pair with your iPod will be disappointed. The construction is decent, but not very strong. In addition, the speaker cables seem to be thin and could feel snap.

People who used to get the speaker cable to your MP3 player to connect into the outlet and still be sure that the connector pins in the EP-830 is not in the bag in the form of L Travel is always good Headphones for the enforcement, undamaged and has a smooth matte feel. However, the bag does not remain closed for a long time and tends to open after all.

Performance
After choosing the right headphones, I put the EP-830 to a Cowon U5, with music from various genres. I was impressed by the quality of sound from the speakers. In comparison with the EP-430 and EP-630, a stronger and more focused bass and treble, the DP-830 has a sound that is as close as possible "without the original sound, too. If you use the headphones the Walkman mobile phone from Sony Ericsson (HPM-70) in the image, the EP-830 is the top, where the media are much more sharp and clear and the bass is tighter and cleaner comparison. As with the Apple headphones, which iPod, do not even have the opportunity and the DP-830 only blows out of the water (which is exactly why we should leave as soon as an iPod purchase).

The low is strong and forcefully, without boomy. The media are also very sharp and clear and the music sounds fresh and clean with this pair. Heights tend to be a little strong and shot, as the voices of the singers, for example, appear to be a clear advantage for themselves and sound a bit fragile at the moment.
Of course with CDs or audio files with high speed, but with 128 kbps audio files is not a major problem. The phone can also be very hard, without cracks or distortion.

The headphones are very efficient, so it is ideal for Paring with mobile phones, a low-power amplifier. Silicone ear are very comfortable on the ears and decent Soundproofing - always has the right headphones.

Verdict
Creative EP-830 has proven to be a great headset. You're good, are comfortable to use and offers decent passive noise isolation. They also come with a handy pocket to work with you. Even if the price of Rs 1999 M.R.P. with one year warranty you can for about 1300 Rs At that price, the headphones are a good price-performance ratio.

UMAX Thunder Headset Review

Design and Construction
UMAX Thunder has a control over the growth of the head with a microphone on the left speaker. The speakers have a supra-aural design, at the tip of the ears, not around them, as in the circumstances of the sound design. The speakers are adjustable for a better way and also have a soft foam padding on the head for comfort. The microphone is adjustable.

 
However, the quality of the construction of the headphones is pretty cheap. There are many corners, and not all are very robust.

Performance
To test the sound quality of the helmets, I have connected to a computer. La première est j'ai Remarque elected that they oreillette Kit requis beaucoup d'énergie pour être conduit successful, you kind of bloc-notes in my band to near max. As for the sound quality is much better than what we expected that only this set of headphones. Of course, I could a lot of mistakes, as would have been more serious or powerful that it would have been a little clearer in the midrange and treble, but in general, to hear the occasional noise is not bad all.The Thunder UMAX is a helmet after all, and primarily for phone calls and communication via the Internet, the entire game, which is pretty good. You can make a decent conversation over Skype while enjoying the quality of voice. The microphone also good and its omni-directional, which can easily be adjusted.
The headset is also very comfortable to wear. Padding cushions soft enough for the ears and can be used for a long time without complaints.

Verdict
UMAX Thunder The headset is available at a price of 350 rupees. At this price, the handset offers decent performance, making it a good price-performance ratio. For occasional use, I do not think we can demand that more than anything else.

Altec Lansing UHP336 Headphonews Review

Design and Construction
The Altec Lansing UHP336 is very discreet, all-gray design. The cable is four meters long and has a gold connector directly to the end and ends in a Y-type to another. The cable is detachable speakers, at the end, so that the cable is damaged, it can be changed without the new headphones.

 
The speakers in each ear design, the decline in the use of headphones. The cable then goes from the speakers on the ears and then you can use the cable behind it, the T-shirt. This is usually the case with headphones, because this type of headphone cables are not in shape and are also much more discreet, if you work with them on stage. Altec Lansing speakers and have the company logo on the outside. You can choose from five tips ear. Of these, four are made of silicone and foam. Including a pair of silicon has two sides, also for a better insulation. You can also use a cleaning tool to clean the ears Gunk could be included in the speakers. A small case completes the package.

The construction of the quality of the speakers is very good. Do you have a good mat with a sub-class look. The cable is too thick and too rigid. Even after a week with the original packaging is still on cable, while the curves, recorded the new package and learned that there has ever been packed into the case. With this cable you can not pack properly into your ears and bent at a right angle from an awkward angle.

Performance
The UHP336 be a pair of quality headphones for professional musicians, and so I found more than a week of use, are in all respects for the job.
The sound quality of headphones is incredibly precise. The midrange and treble, especially, are so amazingly clear and detailed. You know the difference after listening to a couple of standard headphones, and then with the UHP336. It feels as if a layer of fog to lift you and your music. Start the details of your music, did not know existed.

The bass was a revelation. In contrast to the typical reaction cavernous low-end headphones UHP336 was low and accurate. Bass beat you with the precision and accuracy of the Sniper Rifle! It feels quite different, because it really does not feel the bass, but just listen. It also does not dominate the other is often shot them all with the same amplitude and are in perfect harmony with each other. It is impossible to describe perfectly the tone and listen, to understand the level of clarity.

There are a hit. Running for the professional audio equipment, the UHP336 just need a little reinforcement properly fed. Otherwise, the low power dissipation, and is flat. You can not with a pair of portable music player or even a laptop, since they are not sufficiently powerful amplifier. The only way to make a good sound on the move is to use a headphone amplifier. For home users, you need a PC with a good sound card or a music system to get the most out of this pair.
Note that for power, I am not saying that PMPO maximum volume or the amplifier output, but RMS. These headphones are very efficient and can even easily from a mobile phone band for sale. However, the sound quality in this case has nothing to write home about.

The headphones are very comfortable to wear. But many people, that they were uncomfortable, as the headphones to the ears and could not be adaptations. But I could for a few hours without any fatigue. However, it is advisable to take a break from time to time, as opposed to the use of standard headphones, earphones in more emphasis on the eardrums.

With regard to the isolation that UHP336 again very good. It is important for the musicians on stage to hear the sound of the headphones in the crowd cheers, and I am sure will be an excellent job UHP336. For users this means a greater focus on his music and less on around you.

The verdict UHP336 Altec Lansing is an exceptional talent, the headphones. You have amazing sound clarity and precision with which the sound is you spell bound. At a price of Rs 5990, one year warranty UHP336 is easy on the page that some of the shortcomings, such as design, it is not convenient, and the stiffness of the cable seems a little worse

And that's not all. Those who intend to use these devices to be disappointed about the sound quality. So, wait for their fans at low speeds eardrums pummelled deep bass will be disappointed. However, for audio purists and professionals who demand the best, have a good source of power between them, are comfortable with the design a bit cumbersome, and are willing to pay premium light, the Altec Lansing UHP336 is a good buy.

Creative EP-630 headphones Review

 

Design

Creative EP-630 headphones are in-ear noise isolation - not only from their ears, they grow and in the ear. There are two main advantages of this design, the first is not easy to reach the ears, especially in activities like running, unlike the standard ear-bud headphones. But most importantly, with the headphones pushed deep into the ears, cut off a lot of background noise (techy term for sound insulation). For example, if you traveled on the corner of tuna canned in Mumbai, with headphones, you know, you can hardly hear your music on the sound of the train. You do not have the problem with the EP-630, regardless of how things can be difficult to train, you can clearly hear the music, and you will not crank the volume on the initial experience. You can also pure music in noisy places like markets, etc.

When it comes to design, Creative EP-630 is a cut above the Bose In-Ear. The headphones are very small, with a rounded surface to them. The black and silver detail, making them ideal for use with the PSP or MP3 player in black color.

Cables
In general, the headphones are equipped with a cable a little short, he fell because of the constant tension. For the PE-630, Creative has not been limited in this department, with a long tail of 1.25 meters of cable with their product. This period is long enough, not to the headphone with the movements of the body, while it is short enough to avoid the road while you are away.

 
It has three types of rubber stoppers with headphones, so you should be able to create a package that is perfect for the comfort of the ear-wise. I found a way to perfect for me, with whom I was able to use PE-630 for several hours without pain in my ears. Although the envelope in this way a little help, because you feel a kind of pressure at first, as it under water, but if they never see again.

 
Sound
The sound quality of headphones is excellent. In comparison, Bose offers a clear, cut most of the background noise, while the DP-630, a broader measure of cover. This is done using magnetic 9 mm Neodymium transducers enclosed. After listening to the bass on the EP-630, which was great, even the Bose headphones was quite common. Since I started with Creative EP-630 headphones, I found that my iRiver has a much smaller quantity, to give me a clear and background noise is almost non-existent. The music feels like it directly into my brain! Even when used with Sony PSP headphones, are the results of the first class. But along with iRiver, this is a game in the sky - I have a great sound quality, everything is light enough to easily. The problem with the Bose headphones is that you have your case with you, this is quite worrying.

Verdict
As mentioned above, Creative EP-630 are much less expensive than the Bose (approx. Rs.5600). In an MRP of Rs 1280 with a 1-year warranty, PE-630 is the value of money. The market price is assumed that the two as low Rs 850th If you get a good update of the helmet with the MP3 player is an excellent choice.

Grado RS2 Headphones review

Grado remains a specialist dedicated to headphones, cartridges and a small range of accessories, including a helmet is not designed Natty amplifier.

Grado RS2 is typical of the variety in research between the back and understated - at least not accuse us first grade go on top of that. However, solid mahogany shelter is not only practical, but beautiful.

Our main concern is the design and facade with foam earcups, which are very hard and rough, and sit on the ears instead of around it. The resulting pressure is not always easy and certainly intend to recommend a buyer to spend at least 15 minutes, wearing a helmet.

Construction of high-end
This model shares many features with the following model, the SR-1, including the "Ultra-high purity long crystal in the copper coils, both the voice and initiative. As in most high-end headphones, these days, the magnet is in any kind of rare earths.

Grado makes the most of the process used to relieve the tension of the diaphragm before each controller is integrated into a finished helmet and says this reduces the rupture of the diaphragm and the resonance and hence the distortion.

At the bottom of the design, RS2 eliminates a lot of noise, but at least do not feel very intrusive to the head. Lead is very flexible and mounted almost free of friction noise.

Associated Music Experience
Il s'agit certainement d'un casque d'écoute de la musique. The first impression is strong, realistic and musical instruments with great body and presence. The sound is not entirely devoid of dyes, but any deviation from neutrality is not intrusive.
What to expect from Grado models, the detail is very good, at least most of the time. Only occasionally we had something like a thickening of the sound, an effect that appears to occur when the upper midrange is particularly busy.
Otherwise, if there is a high degree of understanding complex musical textures. In particular, appreciate the voice through the headphones, all well characterized and (if we have heard the original) quite natural and recognizable.

Minor staining
It is interesting to note that the lighter color of the hull tends to make the sounds seem to come from someone close to the listener that we are accustomed to - a bit of a lift at the top of the high and high-high, not very often fall rapidly with distance.

Why should it be more sensitive than other headsets, we can only imagine, because it is very characteristic. Sometimes we think we have detected a slight upward wealth, but if it is smaller and, frankly, very enjoyable.

Rough diamonds
And 'certainly a headset hands when it comes to different musical styles. Classical symphonies and string quartets are treated equally and well adapted to the tastes of the general public.

In fact, the sound is not too civil: it is only a trace of bitterness, which in any case, instead of offsetting the trend could have headphones for the sound too "perfect." In short, this is a transducer well rounded with great interest in many areas.

The price is high on the side, but we believe that this can be justified, not even the basic look and feel. HFC

Technics RP-DJ1200 Professional Headphones Review

Advantages: Very reliable, very friendly and the DJs kick-ass bass sound

Cons: a little heavy on the ears and in the struggle of high and medium

Well ... This is my first DJ headphones and I must confess that it was a good start!

They generally have a great sound quality, too (and I mean very!) With a little 'low, but the dish and medicines. This means that much had fought for the synchronization, but can be fought with some of the melodic material ... and please, please do not try to classical music!

The sound is simply incredible, the only sound you hear in the music will be heard, unless you're in a nuclear bomb test and it is here to stay.

Although in general, the headphones are comfortable and actually practice this in turn is 90 degrees cuts very easily (but you can also solve the problem of not passing!), But for very small ear cups fairly quickly, making them unsuitable for long without listening to the music collection. In any case, insert a DJ and out, very often, you can not call a failure. I like the head of which is long and right which makes it less onerous and less akward of the spiral.

They have a solid construction technique, although some details might seem rather fragile, but I had no problems with one of them, despite the massive use. La seule question qui s'est Porté pad was a half an atmosphere, which most likely due to a summer intensive use of transport and neglect.

Subject: Very good DJ for heavy use, but not to appreciate the nuances of music at home.
