Exceeded my expectations
SOUND:
The first thing that struck me about the sonivo ones is that the sound quality is truly EXCELLENT!! The bass comes out really clear, and I can really lose myself sometimes in the music when I'm wearing them! (embarrassed as I am to admit this, I cannot tell you how many times I've been caught bopping my head to the beats as though I was actually sitting in an actual nightclub! ....But that's another story! lol.)
COMFORT:
While my old pair of headphones weren't bad, and they were pretty comfortable for the most part, I did used to feel after a time that they started to get a bit irritating after long periods of use. However these didn't! I have literally been abusing them for hours on end, both as a VOIP headset for work, and in alot of my free time also when listing to music (which admittedly, I'm a bit of a fanatic) but these things are just so darned comfortable that alot of the time I forget I even have them on! You know it's bad when people have to remind you to take them off! lol.
PAIRING:
Admittedly, at first as I was not used to the newer technology, I wasn't quite sure how to do this at first. But once I figured it out, I couldn't believe how easy it was. Basically there's a little telephone button that you press, and you no longer have to type in annoying bluetooth codes on both devices like I used to, it just instantly auto-recognises the device in a matter of seconds! The only slight downside is that they have to have be charged past a certain point for the auto-recognition function to have enough juice in order to detect the device you're connecting to, but I didn't have to charge them for long straight out of the box before they did this, and they worked beautifully. ANother great thing that I loved about these is that they can also be used with a manual audio jack aswell, which they even provide the cable for, so I could listen to them whilst I was waiting for them to charge, and I could also use them in non-bluetooth devices aswell, so I thought that was a really nice touch!
USES:
Now this is one aspect that really surprised me. As the mic is built-in, I didn't expect it to be much cop in terms of clarity, and thought it would wind up being just like any old cheap pair of VOIP headphones, but MY GOD, the recording quality on these babies were even better than my old Beats by Dre ones. I could literally use them for professional quality sound recording, as they do an excellent job of picking up just my own voice when I'm using them (and not that horrible muffled sound you usually get). The noise cancelling technology they must be using on these must be pretty advanced, because I never heard so much as even the slightest background noise once when I was using them for recording one of my MC mix tapes. (I did it as a bit of an experiment after hearing how well they handles the other stuff, kinda half expecting to find fault, but I never did!)
Anyways, full marks to my new sonivo SBH-150 jobbies! In a way I'm sorta glad my old ones broke,or I probably never would have stumbled across these wonderful little things! But it really is amazing what great little finds you can pick up just on places like Mobilefun, and I just wanted to share this discovery with others, as I hope they will fill someone else with as much joy as they have for me!"
