Sony MDR-10RBT: An affordable Bluetooth headphone with decent sound

2014-08-08
this is the MDR 10 our bt sony's more affordable over the year wireless bluetooth headphone which retails for one hundred and ninety nine ninety nine but can be had for closer to a hundred thirty dollars online at that price it goes from being an okay deal to being a very attractive bluetooth headphone for the money hi I'm David Connolly and the first thing you'll notice about this headphone when you put it on is that it's pretty lightweight and very comfortable it doesn't clamp down on your head to firmly and the ear cups are nicely padded it doesn't do a great job of passively sealing out sound but it's not bad and is well suited to office environments I like how Sony's done the controls both the volume switch and the raised rocker switch for advancing tracks forward and back are easy to operate by feel and the power button is clearly labeled and easy to find on the left ear cup on a small critical note that aforementioned raised rockers so easy to operate that when a jacket or another piece of clothing bumps up against it you might find that you've unwittingly jumped forward or back a track so with the good you get a touch of bad extras include NFC tap to pair technology for phones that support it as well as app tech support battery life is rated at 17 hours which is quite good and a cable is included in case the battery dies or you just want to use the headphones in Wired mode the headphones charge via microUSB unlike all headphones of this sort there's an integrated microphone for making cell phone calls and inexpensive but useful carrying cases included weirdly however the flap doesn't seal the case shut for a bluetooth headphone the sound is quite decent it isn't as full dynamic or natural sounding as the $379 Beats Studio wireless it's a little bright with some trouble push and lots of base so it's a pretty forward sounding headphone and lacks a little bit of warmth but I'd say this model gets you about 75% of the way to the beats for a lot less money and that's why at $130 it's a good deal and arguably a better value than Sony's swankier mdr-1r bt which costs around 260 dollars online it's definitely worth a long look if you're in the market for a decent performing full-size bluetooth headphone is comfortable to wear and relatively affordable I'm David karna I thanks for watching
