Bluedio H+
I just received
these in the mail and wanted to do a small review on these BT headphones. I just
wanted some headphones that I could use with the tv at night. The
first thing is that although I chose the non-retail box, I wasn’t
expecting them to arrive in one piece. I was very surprised that they
did. They were packaged in one of those air bags stuffed in an
envelope. So that was pretty nice. Once I took them out, I put them
on and the next thing was that although they fit, they are tight and
actually hurt after just a moment. Yes they are tight. So this is not
something I like. Now for the rest I’ll just add the pros and cons
to keep this easier to follow.
Pros:
-They are a nice
looking set.
-The feature set is
nice as you can also use these to make calls if you really wanted to.
I haven’t tried that yet but it’s nice to have all this included.
-I also wanted
something I could listen to the radio with as I don’t actually have
a radio anymore. I have a cd player with radio on it, but the
reception is just okay since I’m in a concrete area. So it’s nice
to listen to the radio while I work on the computer without making
too much noise. The station scanned fine, and reception is alright,
depending on the station and where I am. It seems that the building
has a lot to do with the reception in my area because the headphones
also go in and out like my cd player. In short, I can have the BT off
and still listen to the radio which is very nice.
The sound is just
fine for a pair of headphones. I listen to them in a normal volume
and I am not trying to blast music into my hears. They can go up a
bit louder in volume to the point that they get distorted, but I
don’t even go that high so it’s not a problem for me.
Cons:
-They are all
plastic so they are easy to break. I saw a youtube video where these
tend to break if you’re not careful and it’s right where the
earphone moves up and down. I just wished they had used some kind of
metal of these instead to make them stronger but also more flexible
to make them less tight on your head. Honestly it is unfortunate
because it’s hard to keep them on for long periods of time. I mean
even for just a few minutes. I just keep them on a box that is about
the size of my head, maybe a bit wider to see if they will eventually
conform to that. I won’t hold my breath though. I know that you
don’t want them too lose, but not too tight either as they are now.
At least for me.
-Although I read the
instructions, getting this set up was not as easy as you would think.
-To pair the BT you
need to have the headphones almost next to the phone which was weird
and took me a while to figure out why this thing wasn’t pairing.
-My headphones came
turned on out of the envelope so I had to charge it before using it.
The blue light was still on.
-The headphones have
two on and off settings. When you press and hold the on button to
turn on the BT, it only turns the BT on and off. After setting up the
radio, I found that you need to press and hold the volume toggle
button in order to turn off the radio even if you have turned off the
BT. If not, the headphones will stay on. This is nowhere on the
manual. Just make sure that nothing is playing on the phone in order
to set up the radio or it will never let you do it. After that, if
you play something from, the phone and pause it, it automatically
goes into radio mode if you don’t have an sd card in it. It will
also go back to playing the phone if you start playing again from it.
So no need to press anything, but it just seems to take it’s time
doing it but it does. I found out by just playing with it. I haven’t
tried the sd card yet, but if you have one installed, then it will
default to that instead of the radio. You can follow the instructions
in the manual and they do work, but just figuring it out takes a bit
of time. Even with the instructions.
-The headphones
cover most of my ears but they still feel a bit small. I think they
need to be just a tad larger and they would be perfect. But even with
the padding my ears hurt already as I have been listening to the
radio while I typed this. I just had to take them off now because of
that. So they are just a bit too tight for me and there’s no other
way to make them less so.
-The padding on the
top of your head is just two pieces of plastic with some light foam
as you can feel both pieces when you touch the edges. Not a huge deal
but you can tell that these are not headphones you want to wear for
too long.
Although it seems
that I have more cons than pros, many are mostly minor annoyances.
For me it’s how tight they are, I just can’t use them for more
than moments at a time. A movie or just the news on the tv will be
out of the question, they just hurt too much, even with the padding
on each side. If they were not so tight, I would say these would make
pretty good affordable headphones you can use for simple things like
watching tv at night.
Here's what I got after taking these out of the air bag.
This is all the parts you get with these.
I took this apart to see what the foam part was. I thought it was cardboard but it's actually plastic.
Here's one of the negatives about these type of headphones, they are all plastic and if you're not careful, they will normally break at the hinges here. These would benefit from a metal/aluminum band that is a bit more flexible and not so tight on your head which these are. So although the feature set is nice, they are just not very comfortable for too long.
