bluedio-cover

Every day we are surrounded by a world where any cable is annoying. The minituarization and the freedom to transport our gadgets have been perfectly combined with the "wireless" era, that is why the alternatives within the world of sound were not going to take long to arrive. It is true that bluetooth headphones are not having a considerable reception due to issues of autonomy and sound quality. However, with next-gen batteries and Bluetooth 4.1 technology this is coming to an end. That is why we bring you one of the bluetooth headphones with the best quality-price ratio on the market, because everyone should be able to access wireless audio technology without the need to do without good audio. For this we show you in depth the Bluedio H-Turbine, a very affordable range, without premium materials, but that offer autonomy, a bluetooth 4.1 connection and sound quality that almost does not envy many higher-end headphones.

Why Bluedio? Who is Bluedio?

Bluedio is a brand of Chinese origin of the many that have decided to get rid of the stigma of low-quality products at low cost, to enter the mid and high-end products at a moderate price. In terms of technology, the Chinese market is knowing how to adapt quite well and quickly, Xiaomi, One Plus, Huawei or Bluedio are clear examples of how they have decided to enter the technology market to unseat the generalist brands that were producing mid-range products with too high a profit margin.

Bluedio Turbine H, main features

bluedio-h-turbine-2

We are facing a Bluetooth headband headphones, with a markedly modern design and similar to what many other brands offer. With an entirely polycarbonate construction that offers us a range of four colors, blue, white, black and red. These headphones offer the following features:

  • Bluetooth 4.1 connection, latest generation with low consumption and speed of transmission.
  • Equalizer support
  • Auxiliary cable connection via 3,5mm jack
  • integrated microphone
  • Lithium battery
  • Ability to share audio with other headphones through the 3,5mm jack
  • Acoustic echo (noise) suppression
  • Up to 10 meters of Bluetooth range

Battery and design

We find a typical lithium battery that provides us with up to 46 hours of conversation, since it includes a microphone, so we can use it as a hands-free. It also offers no less than 1625 hours of stand by and up to 40 hours of music broadcasting. Fully charging the battery will take about two hours. In the video that heads this text, you can see the complete review and unboxing of the headphones first hand on our YouTube channel.

In the right earphone, we find an LED that will identify the battery that we have available and the Bluetooth connections based on its color. As for the speaker, a size of 57mm that is not exactly small, at least that is how we see it. As for the specific design, we are before quite continuous headphones in terms of what we find in the market, with a round appearance and a mix of leatherette, in combination finishes with bright and matte tones in any of the four colors we choose.

These plastic materials lack any type of metal reinforcement, although it seems they are also plastic composite trim, however, the plastic seems stable and strong, something we should not trust, since breaking it may be easier than we imagine at first sight. On the other hand, the padded leatherette coverings meet their objective very well, the upper headband is quite comfortable, however, the headphones can be somewhat uncomfortable in the first place around the ears when more than two hours pass, this will change with the use, when they start to mold a little to our size. Finally, the height of the headband can be adjusted with a fairly basic sliding system that could be flimsy for a day to day.

Technical specifications of sound and analysis

The audio surprises, I personally took the opportunity to let other consumers test the headphones intensively, in order to get an opinion as objective as possible. We all came to the conclusion that it was difficult or almost impossible to obtain that quality at a similar price. In the first place, the basses surprise you, they are clearly increased, something that should not surprise you because they promote it a lot, they are headphones very focused on commercial and electronic music, if you intend to enjoy an instrumental ballad, they are certainly not yours .

  • Frequency range: 2,4-2,45 GHz
  • Bluetooth profiles: A2DP AVRCP HFP HSP
  • Impedance: 16 Ohms
  • Response frequency: 20Hz-20kHz
  • Sensitivity: 110 dB
  • Sound distortion range: <0,1% THD

The quality of the sound transmission is somewhat higher when you make the connection through the 3,5mm jack, we can increase the power of the sound a little (even becoming annoying) and listening to it with slightly greater clarity, however, they are not thought for that. Its main asset is that use a Bluetooth 4.1 connection of low consumption and high power, so the Bluetooth audio is pretty good without being delicious. I said, at first glance the audio through Bluetooth will seem acceptable, and even good, however they give everything through the 3,5mm connection.

Final conclusion

bluedio-h-turbine-3

They are "low-cost" headphones, we must start from the basis that we are hardly going to find headphones from generalist brands that offer this quality of audio and design from the hand of Bluetooth 4.1, if not any. From here we already consider that they are not the right headphones for audiophiles, but for a very large range of users who are looking for good wireless headphones at an even better price. Across the internet you will find many reviews of these same headphones, all quite favorable, in fact on Amazon their average score is 4 out of 5.

We must bear in mind that the quality of the materials may not deceive us as in other Sony or Philips headphones that we can find in any electronics store, although they are resistant and strong for a daily battle, in addition to being wireless.

As for the sound, perhaps the bass is somewhat boosted, something that can be easily solved using any type of equalizer. The audio may show a delay of a second or a little less, typical of Bluetooth and normal for all. They offer a very high sound power, which can be even irritating when it is above 75%, so it will please those who love disconnection. What's more isolate all outside sound When we raise the sound above 50%, we will not hear anything other than music, so be careful, this can be a pro or a con depending on the user. I definitely have to recommend the purchase for those who are not professionally dedicated to music and simply want wireless headphones at a moderate price. Connected by Bluetooth they leave nothing to be desired compared to the Sony Playstation Headset that presents 7.1 VSS audio and that costs more than double. However, through jack connection things change, these headphones are designed to make a difference via Bluetooth, via jack we find headphones that reach the mid-range of Sony and Philips for example, but that does not exceed them. However, even so they would be a good purchase if we take into account the price of the aforementioned.
