People say money makes the world go round, but have you ever noticed how little you think of money when good crisp clear and deep music is playing in your ears? We’d like to think it is in fact music that makes the world go round. Heck!, it makes it worth doing anything. Think about it.
Between me and you, nobody is to be blamed for having earphones stuck in their ears for the greater part of their days – with music as the soundtrack of their lives. Except you’d have to own a very good pair of headphones for that to happen.
Which brings us to the question; what is a good pair of headphones? In answer to that, let’s take a look at the SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones.
We’ve been listening to music, taking calls, following podcasts… basically, they moved in with us, and it’s our pleasure revealing how that’s been.
To comprehensively dissect our experience with the SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones, let’s fixate on several factors that we collectively agreed they either boil down to either a perfect match or some piece-of-crap set of headphones.
- How they look.
- Connectivity.
- The quality of sound tested or calibrated using various genres of music.
- How your loved ones sound on the other side of a call.
- Speaker performance. Dials and controls.
- Battery life during and when not in use.
Let’s dive right in!
How the SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones Look.
Perhaps the reason most people buy headphones, they way they look and feel. In the case of SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones, the makers covered most bases. They’re a single string/cable joining the two sound speakers (buds), with a dial placed where your hand can reach to change songs or accept calls. Pretty and practical.
With the packaging comes other accessories that make each set of SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones customizable to the size of each owner’s ears.
One of the most irritating things you can experience with any music interface accessories worn to the ears is size incompatibility. Buds falling out your ears will be least of your worries when you get the SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones.
They come stock with eight silicon buds to fix interchangeably on to the sound producing ends of the magnetic speaker units.
Talking about magnets, each end of the sound units is magnetic and attracts its counterpart’s end so as to clip and stick together when you’re hanging them on your neck.
The simple yet very sleek functionality we thought is a common ingredient in all cool gadgets. More X-factor is added by the ‘ear-fins’ – six of them in various sizes.
These comfortable braces make sure you can jog or even bend over while wearing the set, and they stay in place. What awesomeness!
Wireless Connectivity
Needless to say, the SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones use Bluetooth technology to stay tethered to your phone wirelessly.
Whats interesting is that they utilize cutting-edge Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity, which spans just over 30ft (almost 10m) from the host device, not that any of us ever go that far away from our smartphones, do we?
Since we’re evaluating wireless connectivity, the next logical test would be how well data is transmitted through the air, and for that, we found real-time sound playback even near the edge of the connection radius.
SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones Performance Testing
Because we all listen to different genres of music, the most logical test included exerting the SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones under several kinds, five to be exact. Starting with Hip-Hop; a genre where the lyrics are the central focus. Nothing makes a heart smile more than listening to the music you love and being able to hear the drums in a new clarity, while the words resonate with your affection for the piece.
What’s the word for it…oh yeah, an ‘eargasm’!
Other members of our team gave the SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones a try with their preferred genres, from Hard Punk Rock, Rhythm & Blues, EDM, Alternative and we even listened to podcasts through them.
You guessed it, the makers of the SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones spared no IP patent making their sound delivery performance equal to their looks. Dare I say they outdid themselves; this having use the Q34’s predecessors, the Q12, Q15, and Q22 models.
Call Quality.
Since most users of SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones will in some way be connecting it to their smart mobile devices, routinely, a call or two will come through. It would help if their great performs is carried over to awesome call quality too. And it is! Not only because the person on the other end sounds crystal clear, but also because having tested how our voices were propagated, we too never sounded so good.
This kind of performance would only be expected on bigger budget brands of headphones; some online gaming gear where sound responsiveness has to be seamless, and yet the SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones comes stock with the same quality and sound through-put. You won’t have to shout through the speaker to be heard, even on international calls.
SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones Controls.
Not too big as to cause an imbalance while wearing the SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones, their controls are positioned such that changing from one song to the next is a matter of a click of a button.
Closer to the right-side earpiece, an effortless lift of your right hand immediately lands on perfectly spaced controls for the volume, music navigation and call accept and drop buttons, cleverly programmed into just three rubber-felt buttons. Your chances of dropping a call when what you need to do is lower the call volume are pretty remote. I’d say that’s what’s most important in as far as dials and controls for the SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones are concerned.
SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones Battery Life.
Interestingly enough, the makers of SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones claim that their gadget will play continuously play for 7 (seven) hours, yet when we were testing them, with no charging interval, we drained the battery only after close to 9 (nine) hours.
Prudence we said, then again that’s the norm, depending on how you use them, the least you should expect to stretch is around 7 hours. Time to reach a full charge is an impressive 2 hours! Which guarantees a full charge every morning when you awake.
An included USB cable does the charging, simple enough yet so fast that the last-minute short burst can have you entertained during your commute to or from work.
Also, the manual claims that on a full charge, and left for the charge to decay without usage, a whopping 190 hours would pass and current would still flow inside the SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones. The thing is, if you can go that long without turning your set on, you probably have no business owning them – to be fair. So we’ll never really know how true that proposition is.
What says the Jury then?
Well, for a pair of headsets that looks and performs great, which most other competitors can do with ease, the X-Factor that comes with the customization accessories. And oh, a leather sheathing to carry them in safely tips our vote towards owning a pair.
Besides, the low cost alone justifies owning a pair. Or better yet buying the SoundPEATS Q34 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones for someone you care about.
