I have tried these Headphones (a) in the last 20 days as my main audio device, and I have many good and bad things to say… 100% honest! Let’s start👇🏻
🥏 Materials
A bit cheap talking about the feeling, but actually, resistant.
The plastic relief is something I don’t like, coming from the open-ear design. It almost looks like there’s a protective film on top. Maybe it’s to create that light and shadow effect?
The side button doesn’t really feel like a “button” like on Headphones (1). It feels like it has less thickness when you click it. Nothing major, but it’s part of that premium vs normal feedback. Also, the volume wheel doesn’t have the same soft feeling, it’s plastic instead. If you tried Headphones (1), you’ll surely notice the difference! But I mean, I understand it!
Glad the squared design is still there! It’s really easy to differentiate it from other competitors!
I’m not personally a fan of the pink, but it’s a smart choice, and it’s also good that it’s not fully pink.
Now, what I didn’t like is that air bubble thing in the logo…
It’s not only mine. I saw another review with the same issue. I think it’s something really annoying. It feels like a lack of attention to detail and makes it look cheaper. I don’t know if it’s due to the material cost.
💆🏻 Comfort
I could wear them for many hours in a row and they didn’t hurt. 😍👍🏼
Actually, sometimes the top part of Headphones (1) bothered me more than these. Probably also because of the weight.
Also, like Headphones (1), it’s really for EVERYONE. I mean, they can fit smaller heads. Even my brother of 8 years old could wear them. I can’t say this for some competitors… So well done Nothing!
I use them mostly to listen podcast on my TV, when I do house stuff
💪🏻 At the GYM!
More comfortable than Headphones (1)! Due to their weight, I could even do abs with them!
🎶 Music genres
Good bass with bass enhance, but not too much. The audio is clear, that’s the “problem”. Even if you enhance the bass equalizer, there isn’t really a deep bass.
I think it’s fair enough for the price!
I listened to rap, indie, hardstyle/hardcore, drum & bass, core, rock.
🔊 Sounds
Incredible sound! It surprised me in a good way. They saved money on materials, but not on sound quality, and I like that.
Compared with Headphones (1), the music feels more open, while Headphones (1) feels more closed, dense, full.
That’s not bad actually. I’m not a music expert, also considering the EQ available in the app!
🔇 ANC
Good, but I would say very similar to Headphones (1), and that’s a good sign.
For that price it’s really good, also thanks to the isolation
🌬️ Transparency mode
Not so good but… well, it’s there.
I could order a coffee with them on, using this mode and with really low music, but I didn’t fully understand what the person said.
So it’s good to notice cars and street noises
Cable music
It doesn’t work with the USB-C cable, only with jack.
That doesn’t happen, for example, with Headphones (1), so consider it if you’re interested.
In addition, you can’t use them with the jack cable if the headphones are not on. So if you have no battery, you can’t use them, even with the jack cable. But this is why they have 75 hours of non-stop music with ANC activated! So it’s not really a problem.
🎮 Games
I played Cyberpunk with them in Bluetooth mode. I didn’t notice any lag and you get a 360 experience! Really happy with that.
🎭 Theater mode
They don’t have the spatial mode, but instead the theater mode. Good one! I really like it and it doesn’t lose audio quality.
It’s not the same effect obviously, but it still sounds good anyway. Sometimes, these mods let me the impression
😍 Conclusion
For this price, it’s definitely a best buy for me! I’m thinking that when I was at uni, I would have loved to have these. Yellow and white are probably my favorites!
👍🏼 I would recommend them, especially considering the quality-price ratio.
