Noontec Hammo HD, wireless headphones also for the home

We have returned to Actualidad Gadget with a review focused on audio, and more and more users are opting for quality alternatives when it comes to sound. The best companion for a high definition television is in many cases a good sound system. However, in the age in which we live, it is easy to reside in buildings where respect for the neighbors must reward the desire to see a good movie.

For this reason, numerous wireless audio alternatives have been born with the intention that we can enjoy quality sound in our entertainment systems without the need to creak the walls. Today we present you the Hammo HD and TV headphones from Noontec, a wireless hi-fi system designed for your day to day and also for your home.

But first you must know noontech, a brand that we have already had the pleasure of knowing on other sister websites such as Actualidad iPhone and where we have given good faith of its performance. The Chinese firm has quickly positioned itself as a low-price alternative to the greats of professional audio and stood up even to brands with a long history like Sony. That is why Noontec has started to sell a number of products on a global scale.

Presentation and packaging

We know that it is perhaps the least relevant aspect of each of our reviews, but as a technology lover I experience a new sensation with each unboxing, which has always been to open a package and smell new. I know that for most geeks this moment is like a baptism for every device, and the first impression from the moment we unpack is important too. In this case, the Noontec Hammo TVs are presented in a box that a priori may seem excessively large to us but that then has all the logic in the world, and that is that inside is the metal base on which the headphones will rest the most of the time.

Opening the package is quite simple, We are faced with a black cardboard box wrapped in the classic paper sleeve that presents the headphones and their characteristics. Without complication, we quickly access the headphones that will come folded while we disassemble the framework of boxes where we will find the rest of the content. A magnificent packaging job by Noontec, in addition, the quality of the packaging is a prelude to what we will find next.

Design and materials

We are facing headphones generally made of plastic material. Those who have tried many headphones, as is my case, start to tremble when we are faced with these types of devices due to the fact that most of them end up breaking at the top of the headband. However, Noontec seems to have had no plans to delight us with this mess. The headphones are reinforced in aluminum for the weak parts, as well as the headband is really a metal section that will provide enough resistance and flexibility so that it does not become a broken toy in a few months.

The design is as modern as classic at the same time, striking but perhaps too seen if we take into account its considerable resemblance to a range of Beats. However, the angles of These Hammo TVs from Noontec are noticeably sharper and more aggressive. When we see them for the first time we may think that they are still too small to enjoy the best sound, but the feeling will soon disappear. They are extremely light due to the combination of aluminum and plastic, and from my point of view this is more of an advantage than a disadvantage.

Regarding the parts of direct contact with the skin, it is quite evident that they are covered with imitation leather, At the same time that inside the headband we find a material similar to memory foam, while in the earmuffs it is classic foam, we imagine that with the intention of dissipating the heat that it may produce.

Convenience and portability

As we have said, the fact that the headphones are built in equal parts between aluminum and plastic means that wearing them on your head does not become a sacrifice in a few hours. As I mentioned at the beginning, used to the Sony PlayStation Gold headphones (the only headband that I use regularly), the first thing you think is that it is impossible for the headphones to cover the entire ear. Nothing is further from reality, the inside is slightly curved with the intention that the entire ear is inside the hearing aid. In times of intense heat, this causes many of us to have bad times due to the temperature that our ears can reach.

Another advantage of this type of hearing aid is the soundproofing from the outside. I can guarantee that not only in the tranquility of home it is impossible to hear anything outside of the headphones once we reach a power greater than 25%, but that even in public transport the isolation from the outside is supreme. There was nothing less to be expected of a product with these characteristics.

On the other hand, in the content of the package we will find a bag made of velvety material quite resistant that it will allow us to transport them easily. We must remember that these headphones are foldableIn other words, once we collect the hearing aids on the headband, it is easy to put them in the bag and transport them not only with ease, but also minimizing the possibility of them breaking due to any kind of problem during transportation.

Technical characteristics

We have already talked at length about the terms of design and comfort but ... How do these Noontec Hammo HD sound? It is the most important section without a doubt. The Vortik HD500 headphones assure us a fairly good frequency range, despite the fact that the bass is clearly contained, unlike other brands that enhance them to hide the deficiencies, in these Hammo TV the sound quality prevails, it is easy to define every instrument or movement in the movies. However, we must remember that we are facing wireless headphones, so if it weren't for the APTX certificate that ensures minimum latency, we could achieve little.

We assume that these headphones are Bluetooth but They also move under Radio Frequency if we use them with their base with the intention of avoiding interference or quality drops that we would have with usual Bluetooth, a measure taken by many other brands to improve the quality of their wireless sound. This also helps us achieve no less than 50 hours of use on a single charge.

Apart from all this, we are faced with headphones that have the classic reproduction controls on their left side, which will not be effective with any other device that is not the official base that accompanies us in the package. Putting on strictly technical we have:

• Frequencies from 5 to 30.000 Hz
• 32 Ohm impedance
• Bluetooth 4.1
• 10 meter range
• Jack 3,5mm

Also for your day to day and your smartphone

Fast and easy, when you turn on your Hammo HD it will appear in the list of Bluetooth devices from your smartphone, you can now connect them. In our case we have been testing them with an iPhone and Spotify in quality end, and the difference with respect to the audio through the 3,5 mm Jack is negligible, although the type of sound changes. In the case of Bluetooth audio we are going to gain in sound power (since the volume of the device and the headphones is managed separately), but perhaps we lose a bit of frequency range. Likewise, I have enjoyed a very good audio quality with them on.

In the case of the configuration with the base is extremely easy, it has technology Smart Link, so they will be quickly and easily assigned to their own base, the configuration is made so that you do not lose a single moment. In addition, the base has a 3,5mm Jack to LR analog audio adapter, as well as another 3,5mm Jack to USB connection, so that we can easily choose the type of connectivity we want to have, it will undoubtedly easily adapt to any of our televisions.

Editor's opinion

I have been using Noontec Hammo HDs intensively in its TV version and the truth is that they have been raised as an important alternative to other brands that offer similar quality sound at a significantly higher price. The difference between Noontec and the rest of the Beats style brands is that we are faced with more features at the same price. We have Bluetooth, 3,5mm Jack, a home base ... we will not find any limitation in headphones that are around € 139. Of course, they are accompanied by a design that invites you to take them down the street and quality materials, both in accessories and peripherals as well as in the headphones themselves.

Without a doubt, if you are a lover of this type of product but you do not see fit to pay for more well-known brands, or you simply want to take advantage of the variety of possibilities of the Hammo HD, I highly recommend these headphones. You can get them HERE for just € 139,99.
