We
have received another set of headphones, coming to us from Phiaton is
the PS 210 BTNC. This Phiaton set comes in the form of Bluetooth noise
cancelling earbuds. Equipped with Bluetooth 3.0, the PS 210’s sport an
elegant look, but fit for a great active pair of in ear buds with a
variety of tip sizes for a comfortable fit. The rechargeable battery
will allow you to use all day with no interruption, claiming 12 - 14
hours of use, and should you forget to charge, the exclusive EVERPLAY-X
allows use by plugging the dongle into your phone’s headphone jack.
These
are small powerhouses and easy to be taken just about anywhere, while
the numerous sizes and comply foam tips make for comfortable listening
during extended usage. The noise cancelling works very well and not
something found in a lot of in ear headphones, do not require the
Bluetooth connection for use, and work tremendously while traveling. The
sound quality is great and by using the dual chamber design that is
found in the previously released Moderna headphones, providing a clear
experience with a wide range getting close to that seen in over ear
headphones. I also did not notice any interruption while listening
around the house and office while my phone was in my pocket.
However,
every time in which I left my phone at my desk and got around fifteen
away, it would break up intermittently. Technically it does keep
working, but it will break up frequently until meandering back into
range. I was happy to see that the dongle is now rechargeable and has
remote capabilities, the downside was trying to navigate the remote, as
intend, without numerous attempts. The controls are via four way
joystick that is small in size to fit the form of the dongle but my
issue was trying to adjust the volume and change the track or vice
versa, forget about it if you happen to be wearing gloves.
These
headphones surprised me, while the Moderna’s were great, the previous
noise cancelling ear buds received by Phiaton sported an unsightly and
uncomfortable in line power unit. Most wireless devices lose a
considerable amount of sound quality, but with the PS 210 BTNC, there
wasn’t any noticeable loss while listening. Throughout usage, the
earbuds stayed in place without having to be adjusted, whether working
or out jogging. The small carrying case makes it easy to carry whether
in a bag or pocket and the pinch to open clip allows simple placement
and reduction in movement, just remember to keep your phone on you, or
at least nearby.
