what's up guys Jays $0.02 here and once again I am collaborating with my friends over at mass drop to bring you my review of the matrix tube bluetooth wireless stereo headphones from me electronics the mass drop is a pretty cool site where users can recommend products for discount pricing and master up will actually approach those companies about offering group discounts if enough people are interested and yeah they even do PC products and I think it's pretty damn awesome if you ask me so be kind and check out the link in the description if you think you'd be interested in seeing what products are currently being dropped but I like current like literally dropped you know what I mean with its improved radiator support and legendary noise optimization the new define r54 fractal design is a PC builders dream come true click the link in the description to learn more well I guess we started by taking the tour of what comes in the packaging now inside the box it's pretty simple there is a hard carrying case that features a soft kind of a carbon fiber simulated carbon fiber exterior and as well as the instructions and an audio cable now you know what you can do with the instructions I can't toss them because cables are in there now opening up the case it becomes pretty apparent that the main design aesthetic of the Matrix twos is their love for carbon fiber unfortunately this is just simulated carbon fiber it's not actually real but it still looks really nice and it's a very welcome design change except over the polished plastic that seems to be all over headphones in this category the main frame of the headphones is actually has this nice rubberized texture to it which should do a fantastic job at repelling fingerprints and smudges it also features swiveling cans which allow for a nice flat profile for storage or putting it in your backpack and the headband is actually a metal frame which is also wrapped in simulated carbon fiber and it has a nice amount of padding on the top and sleek leather on the inside which keep things nice and comfortable now it also features multiple steps of adjustment on either side should you have a larger an average noggin and I find that the halfway point seems to be good for me but overall you get about an inch of adjustment on either side now of course these headphones are wireless and can connect to your device over Bluetooth but the cool thing about these headphones is that you can pair them with your device either using the traditional bluetooth pairing method which involves like a four-digit code or you can connect them using NFC if your device supports NFC and NFC stands for near field communication it's actually present on most newer Android devices unfortunately if you have an iPhone 6 or a new iPad air 2 NFC is only supported using Apple pay so you have to pair using the old school bluetooth pairing method but when it comes to the Bluetooth they do offer support for apt X and AAC audio codecs for some pretty damn good HD quality audio now the controls are located underneath the bottom of both sides of the cans you have a volume up and down switch on the left side and you have media controls on the right side play pause rewind answer call all that stuff now one of the things that I do like is that it does have a jack right here which comes in handy if you don't want to drain the battery listening to your device it also has a charging point on the backside of the right ear can as well and the ear cups themselves were made of what I think is real leather I'll be honest I can't tell if it's real leather or not it doesn't advertise that they're real leather on the box but they sure smell like leather but they call it their comfort touch ear pads now I would assume they're real leather and if they were real leather they would want to advertise that they're real leather but they don't so I really don't know what they're made of either way they're very comfortable and very convincing to be leather now the foam inside is extremely soft and it isn't around the ear style but I find that they're a little bit smaller on the around the ear so if you have big ears they might actually sit on there and they also sacrifice a little bit of bass because of the fact that they are a little bit smaller around the ear because you don't get a really good seal and they're gonna have a little bit of noise bleed when it comes to your neighbors so you want to keep that in mind if you can be using these in like class or something now the drivers in these things are 40 millimeters in size and they feature the typical 20 Hertz to 20,000 Hertz response range you would expect to find they have 32 ohms of impedance and one three plus minus 3db of sensitivity now the specs aren't really that surprising since these are designed and intended to be powered from mobile audio devices like iPhones Androids and mp3 players now when it comes to the audio they really do sound pretty damn good the bass is definitely present and it seems tight and punchy without being wooly at all sometimes headphones with a lot of bass can actually cause the rest of the sound range to feel muddy and unrealized on these things are very very smooth it's always hard to me to describe how something sounds especially when you can't hear it yourself but the best way to describe the highs is very crisp and very detailed but not edgy especially when listening to something like jazz or music with a lot of vocals it was very very detailed now the mid sound very natural with vocals sounding Pleasant easy to listen to and they feel pretty mellow for most music genres now I say most music genres because I felt that these did a fantastic job at creating good soundstage for things like jazz pop rap classical country and even things like dubstep but when it comes to various kinds of rock alternative metal Punk basically anything that has a lot of sound a lot of crash cymbals hardhats and drums the sounds seem to have a lot less sound separation then it became much harder to determine the different sounds I was hearing and it seemed to turn very flat now I know this has a lot to do with the recording style of these genres but at least felt it was worth noting especially when in other instrumental pieces I could clearly define all of the different sounds instruments and vocals that I was hearing but all in all I feel it for the price and currently coming in at about a hundred bucks Before the Mast drop these are a pretty good addition to any music lovers headphone arsenal I love how the cable on the back is actually pointing backwards instead of down because I really really hate when I turn my head and the cable rubs on my shoulder and some of that sound actually transfers into the ear can and I can hear that I find that to be extremely annoying but even pointing backwards they still don't interfere with laying my head back against my chair or my couch and they really don't get in the way and I also like how light they are in fact I wore these for about six hours at work while testing them out and I never they never got heavier to me over time and I also really like how the carbon fiber looks on them I'm really a sucker for carbon fiber you guys know in some of my mods I've used carbon fiber wrap so I really I really am a sucker for the looks of these now the downside is the leather style ear cups can cause some sweating over time or over long listening sessions and there really is no air circulation at all once these things are on unlike open-back headphones I'm also disappointed that the control buttons do not work when using the audio jack only I also notice that when the Bluetooth is powered on and the audio jack is plugged into an iPhone I get two independent audio level adjustments one on the phone and one on the headset both of them changing the volume of the device but I found that when the device is not plugged in the max volume of either used independently was no louder than when both sliders were maxed out when it was plugged in so I don't know what kind of software logic is being used there but I'm sure it has something to do with these not being you know certified for iPod iPhone and iPad in that stupid logo which would have inherently caused the price of these to go up but I digress but guys if you're looking for an inexpensive bluetooth wireless headphone that sounds fantastic doesn't require a second mortgage to get them then the matrix to air files from me electronics is definitely worth taking a look at now it's been a lot of time trying to pick out any signal issues while listening over Bluetooth and I'm pleased to say that they were very solid and comfortable to listen to so if you want to get in on the mass drop just head to the link down in the description where you can check out the master op information of course guys it's entirely free there's no charge for any of that stuff mass trap is actually a very worthwhile service when it comes to tech and PC lovers like us as always guys I want to thank you very much for watching the channel have a happy holidays and I hope to see you in the next one
