We were lucky enough to be sent some Groovez BTHS800 Bluetooth headphones to review.
First off they look beautiful. The headphones are covered in a tough hard white plastic coating which feels expensive and solid. I love the white colour which is bright and reflective (They also come in black if you prefer). The surface doesn’t easily attract finger prints or dirt. I’ve now used mine for well over a week they still look shiny and brand new. My only issue with the plastic is it is very hard which can make the headphones feel slightly inflexible although this is overcome by the many adjustable options the headset has.
On the top underside of the headphones is a soft comfortable black leather like material which ensures they rest comfortably on top of your head. On either side the headphones easily extend downwards. It’s easy to adjust them to find the perfect height. The ear pieces are soft and a good size and the headphones fit very comfortably. The ear pieces are not solidly fixed in place and easily adjust. Again the user can get the perfect fit. This is a really great feature.
On the outside of the ear pieces are solid easy-to-use buttons. On the edge of each ear piece is a stylish dotted silver/chrome finish which is something else which sets this product apart. It adds an extra sparkle which makes the BTHS800 standout.The headphones easily fold up inwards into a much smaller size, another very useful feature for when you want to take them out of the house or store them. They also come with a useful carrying case.
Of course the best part of this product is that its totally wireless. After I charge the headphones and turn them on, it takes only a few seconds to set up on my iPhone. The Bluetooth is excellent. Not having any wires to worry about is incredibly liberating, before long I ended up wearing these headphones everywhere. The range is 10 meters. I loved using them as I was in the kitchen. It was great to listen to the music or the radio whilst cooking.
The headphones come with a microphone for hands free conversations. Your music automatically pauses during incoming calls. Its very convenient. The audio is very clear and the microphone works well.
The sound quality is excellent. Battery life is very good. There are no actual batteries to worry about. The headset will need to be charged every so often but not until after a long period of use. The headset can also be plugged in and used with non blue tooth devices. This would be an excellent device even without the Bluetooth feature. This a fantastic product with a brilliant design and look. All in all its very impressive.
