Traditionally, do not dwell on the virtues of packaging and emotions from unboxing A. Go straight to the point. Options even more scarce than new headphone review Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7, a review of which recently went under the rubric audio lab (By the way, we MSR7 in this review have not yet come back again). It includes earphones, two removable cables and bag cover for transportation. That’s all.

One of the cables – garniture. The new headphone review microphone unit is equipped with a single button. The key travel is short. Clicking informative. The solution is compatible with the application Smart Key smartphone lineup Xperia.

Both cables are enclosed in a soft insulation with longitudinal ribs (a variant of reinforcement), reliably protecting them from the infection prevents fractures. Freeze and harden in the cold this decision will also be much less. A plug connection to the source in both cases the L-shaped. In addition to the brand name on them applied proud inscription Thailand, that would hint at “it-you-don’t-China.” It should be noted more pragmatic than in the case of new headphone review MSR7, approach – are solid plugs. Nothing becomes loose, no backlash and does not threaten to crumble during the operation. Questions, however, causes the fixing cables in the connector headphones themselves.

With a sharp turn of the head due to a lack of strong fixing taut cable can just fly out of the headphones. Is this good or bad? Debatable. On the one hand, this solution can keep the earphones from falling in some cases. However, as will often also cases of the spontaneous departure the of the cable and without the threat of disruption headphones with your head. The length of the two wires the same and is 1.2 meters, which is standard and sufficient for use with portable equipment. Thus, the manufacturer indicates further positioning device. It is definitely not a solution for listening to music from stationary sources.

About fabric case with leatherette edging says nothing special. It is more practical than counterparts entirely of imitation leather. But for the gadget with similar price tag still want to see the hard case securely protects the headphones during transport. And that’s not a half-measure. By the way, an indication of the box on the cover of Chinese origin on the vine can kill the joy of the “non-Chinese” product for some users. We have to get used to. Without Uncle Liao does not do anybody.

Design and materials

And here we return to the theme new headphone review MSR7. The fact that the models are similar in appearance so that you begin to suspect that something was wrong. But to understand how designers whose contours of a competitor’s product, and whose were the authors of the original idea, we will not. Just stating a fact. Design, layout, and design solutions are very similar. The differences are minor and are on the level of error. No, you will not be able to visually mix model. Here comes into force at least the same ubiquitous branding. But visual memory will absolutely exact parallels. Because dwell on design and design features in detail, we will not. Here everything is true what has been said about a competitor from Audio-Technica. The exception will be only steel guide-Rellingen, adjusts the size of the headband. It is also equipped with a fixed stroke marks. But by itself the course is too easy. And from the first time to fix the headband on the right will not turn around. Due to slippage. The disadvantage is not critical. You can consider it nagging. But he is quick to put on the headphones does not help.

Materials used in new headphone review MDR-1A, are the same situation with the design. They are identical to those of the new headphone review MSR7 slightly less than full. The differences boil down to the degree of softness leatherette and foam ear cushions and headband filler. Ear pads, by the way, there is not removable.

Claims to build quality headphones not. Everything is at a very high level. Doubts about the reliability design no.

Ergonomics

I will not be long. Headphones comfortable. Despite the similarity with new headphone review MSR7, they are softer and lighter. Pressure on the temples is not felt. Long wearing and listening does not cause discomfort. The only downside is the very leatherette. In the heat of contact with the skin, it can cause too much sweating. MDR-1A in this case – the best friends of the air conditioner.

Sound of new headphone review

So we got to the point. The source used for testing HTC One M8, LG G4, SGS3 finalized and serious player AK120. In cases smartphones audition conducted with players Neutron Music Player and CloudPlayer. All material setups served FLAC 24/96 and 24/192. After all, we have to find out exactly the legitimacy of the presence of nameplate Hi-Res Audio gadget on the box?

In all cases, passive acoustic headphone enough for comfortable listening in a quiet home, and on the street. Wonderland is useless to wait, but everything on the level.

In terms of sound producer emphasizes the updated high-tech composite 40mm drivers. These radiators are designed on the idea of providing a wide range of frequencies – 3-100K Hz! Sensitivity is declared at the level of 105 dB, which is also not good. Impedance 24 Ω indicates compatibility with any source of headphones. Enough power from anyone. But let us leave the paper specifications. And go to the audition.

After a standard warm-up for 24 hours, we can be assured of our full readiness headphones. So, just the facts:

Low frequencies are very, very much. Bass in the prelude to the composition of Pink Floyd – Time can be heard even in the movements of the pendulum and the ringing of bells! Compete in this indicator with them can unless Beats. Bass a lot, but is virtually absent of their articulation. Because of this lower part of the mid-range of greased.
Midrange predictably can not keep up with the low-frequency component and go by the wayside. From this significantly affected vocal and detailing some of the tools.

HF repeat the fate of the “middle” and drown in the bass behind her.
Localization tools available. But difficult bass.

At the same time manage to give enough 1A deep sound with wide stereo. Paradox.

In general, the sound in this case that of the new headphone review MSR7 loses on all counts. 1A at all desire can not convey all the nuances of Hi-Res-records. It does not help even a very serious source of AK120. But new headphone review MDR-1A at the same can not be called bad headphones. No. Their sound is very, very good. And for fans of bass-dependent genres they can be a godsend. For the rest of the decision of Audio-Technica is clearly preferable.

Pro:

+ Universal Design

+ Build quality

+ Reliability and sophisticated design

+ Removable cables

Contra:

– The dominance of bass in the sound

– Leatherette

– The lack of a hardcover to transport

Equipment

Full-size great headphone come in a box with a transparent end where flaunt themselves Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO. The last stand on a cardboard stand tucked away inside the twisted cable with Jack 6,3 mm, which is spun down and underneath it is the classic 3,5 mini Jack. At the bottom lies documentation and cover for transportation.

Appearance, quality of materials

Have you seen a broadcaster or a sound engineer? They are constantly sitting in big great headphone, and often this is the Beyerdynamic DT 770/880/990 PRO. The model looks exactly as a working tool and not an accessory for everyday use. Construction form a Y-shaped mount, compact arc and bowls that rotate, has long been copied by other manufacturers since it is one of the most reliable solutions. Materials are selected so that they do not remain fingerprints or scuffed. Plastic cups in texture reminiscent of leather, velor ear pads and headband made of soft leatherette.

The important point is the possibility of replacing almost all the details that will extend the life. Cable sturdy, such as a phone – in a twisted condition length is about 1.5 m, while stretching increases to 3 m. In versions with an impedance of 32 ohms and 80 used a straight line with a length of 1.6 m and 3 m respectively.

Ease of use

What should be the man who sits all day in the earphone? Remove them? No, he needs maximum comfort. Here it is primarily and bribe DT 770 PRO – despite its large size and weight of the model to get comfortable. Velor ear pads are soft and completely cover the ears, elastic arc allows you to press one “ear” to shoulder that will come in handy during recording. It should immediately understand that this is a version exclusively for listening to the audio in the room for the street is no good solution.

Sounding

Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO is available in three versions, which differ in resistance – 32, 80 and 250 ohms. Naturally, each of them designed to work with different types of devices. In our case, 250 ohm-WIDE great headphone are ideal for Hi-Fi equipment and professional audio interfaces.

I guarantee that the people who first hear viewed great headphone say that they are very dry, expressionless, no bass, and generally “not a fountain.” All of the modern perception of sound. Here the situation is that the sound is incredibly faithfully reproduced, with such thoroughness and concentration, which was conceived by the sound engineer. Of course, Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 250 Ohm – pure studio headphones, but this does not negate the fact that the smooth and truthful sound is not suitable for listening to music.

With great pleasure, I listened to some old albums of Michael Jackson, Metallica and Pink Floyd. The Select genre predisposition model I can not exactly playing absolutely everywhere that when listening to the electronics that with alternative rock. Closed form and tight ear cups do their work, and sound at the highest level: the latter is useful when working or listening to music in noisy places. Among the competitors can only note the Audio-Technica ATH-M50, but there is a little different, deep voice sounding.

Basic testing is carried out using a digital-to-analog converter ASUS EONE MKII MUSES, as the main source of sound using a PC. To evaluate the sound played a special set of test tracks that are able to unleash the potential of acoustics or great headphone. As the last speaker Prime Test CD # 1 and the separate compositions such as the Given Up – Linkin Park, Oh Pretty Woman – John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Funky Monks – Red Hot Chili Peppers, Scream Aim Fire – Bullet For My Valentine format Audio CD. Evaluated following sound parameters: the width of the stage (as far as volume is recreated sound stage), high frequency (violin, drum plates), low frequency (bass), mids (vocals), detailed sound (how well heard details of the composition). The author’s opinion is a subjective grade is with an eye on the price of the headphones.

Eventually

Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 250 Ohm already had worked well in the professional field audio recorder, and then it really is hard to gain a foothold, particularly in the long term. The great headphone have a balanced sound, robust design, and proven ergonomics strongly recommended to those who want to get the best sound quality for $ 200-250. An important feature of the model with a resistance of 250 ohms is the mandatory presence of a power amplifier, otherwise all the charm of the sound disappear.

Package – Xiaomi Piston v3

Xiaomi Piston third generation delivered in a plastic case, inside which is a rubber wrap, which this time did not smell of chocolate, and beautifully planted with three pairs of ear cushions.

Design, quality materials – Xiaomi Piston v3

If all the previous headphones company observed a similar style, the new plugs are made completely in a different manner, albeit with similar elements.

Cable sheath tissue remained, but otherwise it’s the other headphones, with a new design and ergonomics.

The inside of the bowls made of plastic, metal exterior of relief – such promptness looks great and is lightweight. The remote control is also made of aluminum with a barely noticeable relief. Plug straight and has a rubber boot to prevent bending.

Ergonomics – Xiaomi Piston v3

Everything I like in the past, “Pistone”, but landing in his ears uncertain because of the general form of bowls themselves. The novelty of this problem is solved Xiaomi and headphones sitting tenaciously because now form a model with a bend and the cup goes in the ear like a glove.

There is only one drawback – inconvenient to listen to music with a wire behind the ear because of the ergonomically shaped bowls and proximity remote control to the right earpiece.

But what is worth praise for is the minimum weight, so many hours of use did not bring any discomfort.

Sounding – Xiaomi Piston v3

In comparison with the past “pistons” sound news has not changed much, but became fresher, more dynamic and broader. Headphones very clearly transmit those little things that build any composition. Typically, in such a gag for the price it plays only a “base”, but here are harmoniously combined and detail high, medium and low frequencies. There are a certain lightness and ease of the sound that is characteristic of an open model. Still others “caps” excellent shake almost any modern smartphone, even though the fact that the resistance is at around 32 ohms and sensitivity of 98 dB. Microphone copes well with its task and the sound is transmitted efficiently. Soundproofing can listen to music in noisy places is not lifting up the volume to maximum.

Results – Xiaomi Piston v3

Previously, among the gags in the price range up to $ 30 brightly allocated Xiaomi Piston v2. Unfortunately, now the second “Pistone” will have to give way in its class, because of a combination of factors Xiaomi Piston v3 surpass the previous version. The model is more ergonomic, light and changed externally. The sound was also a bit fresher and have more details, but the overall sound of the serious advantages to the past generation there.

Liked Xiaomi Piston v3:

+ Appearance

+ The minimum weight

+ Ease of use

+ Remote control with three buttons

+ Sound

Don’t like Xiaomi Piston v3:

– No

From a design standpoint, Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless are just as good as all the other models of the company. At first glance, they are very similar to the first generation of headphones: full leather headband and cups of graceful shape with stainless steel rails. But it is worth a closer look and you will notice some differences. Rama was the folding headphones that can reduce their size for easy transport and increased cups provide a tight fit.

Soft leather ear pads also become thicker and thus – even more comfortable. During several hours of wearing, we did not feel like to remove or correct them, and ears listening not heated.

The main advantages of the new model over the standard Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless – is aptX Bluetooth support and active noise cancellation system. Both innovations have shown excellent results.

Feature of Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless

Headphones provide a stable 22 hours of music playback in wireless mode with the included Noise Cancelling (and in low volume levels – even more), and after the discharge of the battery can be connected to the cable and keep them in passive listening mode (available only with cable connection). We would just like to see in the active state in headphones constantly burning indicator – or they can forget to turn off, and the battery is discharged.

All controls on and reproducing are at the right cup. The power button is also used to establish contact with the different devices (headphones recall up to eight pieces), can also be used for pairing NFC.

Multi-function button while moving up and down controls the volume, and when you perform different functions. Once you remember which combination of keystrokes is responsible for what, this system seems very comfortable.

Proprietary noise reduction technology Sennheiser NoiseGard noise drowns out the great outside world.

It’s a little to almost complete soundlessness which provide Bose QC25, but not create the characteristic pressure on the ears when the noise reduction.

Office noise almost inaudible, the roar of aircraft engines is reduced to a barely audible hum – it is not only one of the most effective systems for noise reduction, but also one of the most natural.

Play music, we felt the familiar and beloved character of the sound Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless, which is in the process of getting rid of the cables did not lose a grain of enthusiasm and excitement. It’s amazing how similar sound with cable and without it. In the first case, it becomes a little tighter, but in the second you definitely have nothing to lose.

Rich and full-blooded sound characteristic poise and sophistication, which are rarely found in Bluetooth-headset.

Weighty and detailed bass give energy pulsing bass line in the song Jay-Z and Kanye West No Church In The Wild, doing it without suppressing echoing and higher frequency ranges.

But the main advantage of Momentum – even high-quality woofer and a great middle range. Transmission of any material, from vocals to guitars, differs enviable meticulousness, revealing the set of the smallest detail and high purity.

In the song, Rihanna FourFiveSeconds voices are expressive and focused, and guitar chords Paul McCartney – depth and texture. Momentum Dynamics is excellent; their impeccable rhythmic and groovy enthusiasm always hold the listener’s attention, prompting him to listen to a song by song.

HF perfectly coordinated with other bands; open and intelligible, they are not prone to stiffness even at low-quality recordings. Headphones Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless has always been lenient to those of the original signal, and a new generation has kept this approach.

In addition, they surprisingly surround sound headphones for private; voices and instruments are enough space to breathe even in the rich arrangements.

Thanks to a special intended to talk microphone built into the cup, you can answer calls using the headphones – you do not need a microphone on the cable. Its signal – a clean and stable, subscribers on the other side is always clearly heard our voices.

The only downside to these headphones – their price. $ 475 – a very substantial sum, but if you’re willing to part with it, you will not doubt the wisdom of their investment.

Verdict Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless

Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless – incredibly nice and very high-quality headphones and new features and design changes have made them even better than the original version. Those who can afford it will be happy.

Oppo company can not boast too long history and rich heritage. But in practice, its first product, has come down to our market. It was the Blu-ray-player Oppo BDP83. And the player was able to hit most intense at that time (2009) equipment.

Firmly hold the position in the segment of expensive universal player. The company is looking for new areas of application of their resources. Through our test lab, we have recently passed her two very notable amplifier DAC headphone. And last year it issued a chic and expensive headphones Oppo PM-1, which differ not only exquisite materials used in them. But its own version magneto- planar technology emitters. Now, in the line of headphones Oppo three models, and today we get to know the younger.

The above-mentioned PM-1, as a number average PM-2 are open acoustic design. That is, it is not well suited for use outside the home, although due to the small (for magneto- planar) weight and high sensitivity allow the portable application. But the younger model – gated and in similar other characteristics of the company is thinking of marketing it to listen to music from a mobile device.

Design of the Oppo PM-3

Oppo PM-3 look strong and solid. Soft ear cushions covered with leatherette cover tightly ears. Substantially isolating you from external noise. Pressure on the top of her head barely is felt if the headband to adjust for its size. For many hours of listening there is no discomfort or irritation from wearing such a “headdress.”

Headphones Oppo PM-3 is quite large for a portable. Their size can optimize by turning the cup through 90 °. Then they fit into the supplied hard case that is already easier to fit in your bag. These cords are attached 3 m and 1.2 m (last – with a headset for smartphones). And also an adapter with 3.5 to 6.3-mm connectors.

Portable use Oppo PM-3 limited by the lack at the moment worthy of their power mobile sources. Although improvement in this direction is clearly observed. With their help, you can listen to MP3-recording on your phone, and they will do everything possible so that you get pleasure from it. Due to the high detail in the pleasant smoothness and elaboration of mid-range vocals. For example singing, Pelagia served very natural and expressive.

Sounding of the Oppo PM-3

Modest silence Smallest Hi-Res-player Sony NWZ-A17 is also enough to “shake» Oppo PM-3. But the bass line at the beginning of the album 50 Words for Snow by Kate Bush in HD-format completely devoid of texture. Although the singer’s voice is quite articulate and lively.

What’s inside the Oppo PM-3?

In magneto- planar, sound transmitter creates a thin and light film. The oscillating reciprocating mode in a magnetic field. A unique feature of the headphones Oppo PM-3-sided seven-layer diaphragm. And can accommodate twice as many wires on it and eventually leads to an increase in sensitivity. And also reduce the distortions of various kinds. They also used the strong neodymium magnets, their parameters and configuration are designed using finite element method. For closed Oppo PM-3 radiator design was optimized.

To fully develop the talents of these headphones Oppo, should apply to them a full signal. We used the headphone amplifier Oppo HA-2. Monitoring and bass detail in the album by Kate Bush greatly increased. Improved sound and other characteristics. It is soft – but to claim there is no rhythm – a balanced, multi-faceted. Focus vocals and other elements of excellent compositions, instrumental accompaniment spelled out in great detail and accurately. For all the information content of the sound is very comfortable – you can listen to music for hours.

Classical music lovers will find in the Oppo PM-3 perfect tool for listening to the largest and most complex pieces. “Planets” Holst in HD-format using them executed with the same consideration. Beautiful microdynamics, the dynamic variability and vigor, which we ever get a very good Hi-Fi-systems – we just have to get used to a slightly different configuration of the music scene: over the head, not the front.

It should also be noted that play recordings in CD-quality playback of a disc or via a PC. And with the help Oppo HA-2 headphones Oppo PM-3 also provides a very high quality and expressive sound in all genres.

The most affordable model in a line of headphones Oppo is regarded as an excellent high-grade sound system for personal listening to music at home and on the road. We strongly recommend that you look.

Price: $ 480

Pluses: balanced, detailed sound and work; amazing vocal articulation; natural and energetic sound without any hardness or sharpness RF

Cons: Nothing

Verdict of the Oppo PM-3

Excellent headphones, capable of a real competitor system with high-end speakers

Technological or fashion brand without its own headphones as absurd as Russian oligarch without European football clubs. With him not to talk about. At Vertu headphones now too. Model Vertu HP-1V developed in conjunction with the B & O. Danes in the world HiFi with the reputation of “designers” answered quite the opposite of the sound. Vertu experts developed the design and set a price. 490 lbs. Country Price. To her we shall return, but first about the design. Model of the closed type with leather ambyushury and trimmed with leather headband brushed aluminum. Lightweight – 230 grams – with a comfortable fit. Do not crush, does not come off even with vigorous winding head in time with The Beatles. Under the cap are not put on, but get out of the house. A model of excellent sound insulation. Sound out of the question. Inside something passes. As much as you need to confidently navigate in space. A good option for the aircraft, especially after the European Aviation Safety Agency has ceased to object to the use of electronic devices during takeoff and landing.

By convincing headphones attached to a thick braided wire, which is strange look of cheap plastic buttons for remote control of the player or phone. Detail which can easily be ignored. The kit also includes a carrying bag and nozzle adapter for a connector that demonstrate a claim for HiFi.

As sources for testing were used iPhone 6 and CD-player Marantz CD5001. iPhone is selected as the most likely (after smart phones Vertu) partner headphone Vertu. Player Marantz – confident HiFi average – as a way to assess the potential of Vertu HP-1V.

With the iPhone 6 is pretty simple. Headphones effortlessly cover the possibility of the vocal tract smartphone. In this they are not alone. No sound revelations, compared with decent “plugs”, for example, Sennheiser has been detected. You can compare the sound level of comfort during long-term – a few hours – continuous listening. There fold difference in price makes itself felt. Vertu can listen for hours and not get tired. A sure sign of lack of distortion, which you will not notice in one or two tracks. Vertu use headphones with the iPhone can, but not necessarily. Options several times cheaper than play not nearly as good. But the replacement of standard Apple Earphones for something more worthy is still mandatory.

CD – the test is much more serious. Format, which is too early to put an end, is still easy to play on digital players and a combination of consumer-grade “computer + DAC entry level.” Paired with the Marantz CD5001 headphones Veru disclosed, showing detail and emotion. In the “holes heard before” records revealed new details: the movement of a finger on the string, breath the atmosphere of the concert hall. A comparison with the more expensive Grado headphones and even Oppo Vertu lose. But this is not a game with only one goal. In an intelligent, thoughtful, though perhaps overly cautious sound Vertu HP-1V certain there will be fans. If the handle on the headphones was “aggressive”, I would have turned it into one or two levels in the right. But it is very taste solution.

HP-1V – a worthy thing, the production of which the brand has chosen a solid Chinese partner, and never save money on materials. The presence of specialists B & O as well send the products to benefit. But from Vertu, in my impression, the headphones was only logo. Neither five finishes titanium or skin of exotic animals, no autograph wizard manually assemble the unit. To listen to music from your iPhone or computer capabilities Vertu (like price) redundant. If you choose HP-1V as a multimedia solution should think about the external DAC’s and portable headphone amplifier. Best of all Vertu HP-1V look as a home audiophile solutions. The price in this case seems to be quite reasonable, even after the jump course. Affordable Vertu – cognitive dissonance. But this dissonance sounds surprisingly nice.

I can proudly say, “I’m a music lover!”. I like to drown in the world of music, swim in its colors, inside and out torture Interesting song, listen to it all the lines, the party moves, the subtleties … Keep me three! And do not be ashamed of this, I am a musician by profession, and music – my main hobby. And, of course, I have a weakness for all sorts of equipment, reproducing it. Especially for headphones. But I do not need a ton of them, a whole bunch (as some called @ kremeniuk), enough of one to two ears, but high-quality, comfortable and practical. And though the range now able to satisfy all requirements and preferences, choose the right still is not easy. Especially if you are looking for something in the middle price range (when the ears are badly needed, but some are expensive, top-end funds are not enough). What is, Rapoo S500, let’s see how good you are at your then- $ 40.

If you are our regular reader, then the products Rapoo a little familiar, most likely, have seen all sorts of mouse, keyboard, and other trifles in our tests. The main focus – Rapoo wireless products.

Not so long ago, the company has also started the development of the market and the assault besprovodnyh akusticheskih ustroystv. This fall at the IFA 2013 they pokazali 5 new products in this class, all working through Bluetooth 4.0. Among them is the headset / stereo headset, we are talking about, – Rapoo S500. This model replaces the Rapoo H6020, and in many ways similar to its predecessor. It’s as if its upgraded version.

Getting start with the design. Seeing them, I want to say that they are extremely girly. Thin, legenky, stylish look in general, it’s nice air. Bow is thin, metallic, in a transparent plastic shell – it is beautiful, and there is the possibility to adjust the size (8 positions), but there is a risk of unintentionally distort the arc.

I must say for the comfort. Sit S500 directly at great risk to fall (at least I). To the ears is not tight fitting, insulation is not provided. If you like to listen to music while jogging or other exercise, it is likely to run into the same problem – headphones while active movements just fly. In general, if I took them myself, it is only for use in the home. Well, because of the penetration of noise they are not too comfortable for listening to your favorite music in public transport.

The pads / ear cushions. Mild, pleasant, white “skin”, thin mesh top speakers.

The choice of a few color variations S500: pink, blue, green, white, black, and gray. I got (oh joy!) Last, silvery-gray. Overall, for the appearance plyusuem. Worthy look, the assembly is good.

If the design is quite decent, as used herein, the materials do not deserve praise. Very byudzhetnenko: simple plastic that risk is very easy to wear, poor paint coating of metal elements – is overwritten, and the “skin” is also, most likely, not long-lived.

All of the control interface, Micro USB, microphone and LED status indicator located on the left ear. This is convenient. For on / off, taking a call / end call, song playback / stop corresponds to one key. You get used to this quickly. Another two separate keys are used to adjust the volume.

Naushniki Rapoo S500 rabotayut in two rezhimah: besprovodnom and provodnom. The declared autonomy – up to 15 hours, I turned around 12-13.

S500 mogut rabotat neskolkimi with Bluetooth-source at the same time (for example, a PC and a smartphone / tablet), lovko switching between them. Such a function is called Multipoint. Bluetooth works flawlessly, it even surprised and pleased.

There vozmozhnost podklyuchat naushniki kabelem to PC sluchayah razryadki. Connecting to a PC via USB and turns into a full-S500 headset for the company. In addition, if you receive a call on the phone, Rapoo S500 will enable him to respond.

Finally, sound. Hm-mm, the same average as the price, unfortunately. Do not complete HS, but not hurricane of delight and admiration. As already noted, it is very sad for insulation because it does not feel the lack of full-sounding. Also limp bass, they are very lacking. The overall sound is flat, not tight, not swing somehow, get high … I would not have taken such a pure use Skype on your PC. Although for such purposes can be purchased something cheaper.
