[Music] Hey guys, Im Stephen from The Sound of Tech. Today, were gonna be looking at the T450BT
Bluetooth Headphones from JBL. Lets first look at the build of the Headphones. The main body of the headphones is made out of a black plastic.
The ear cups are made out of the black plastic
with a glossy JBL logo in the middle. The padding is covered in a soft plastic outer,
which doesn't make them the softest or the most comfortable. The fact that the padding is not particularly
soft also contributes to the earcups not moulding well to your ear and not feeling particularly
comfortable overall, especially with them being on ear headphones. The headband is the same hard plastic as the
outer body of the earcups.
The headband has no padding to it. This causes the headphones to not be able
to mould well to the shape of your head and may make them hard to wear for prolonged periods
of time. The advantage in this however is that the
headphones remain fairly lightweight and thin. The earcups themself can swivel about 110
degrees, as well as folding inwards about 45 degrees to help the headphones feel a little
bit more compact for transportation but due to the hard plastic of the headband, it is
still not particularly compact.
The buttons on the bottom of the headphones
are also plastic. So overall the headphones are a lot of plastic
and sort of feel cheap but they are fairly sturdy. For the build, I give these headphones a 2.5
Out of 5. The headphones run off bluetooth 4.0 And the bluetooth connection between the headphones
and my phone has been fairly good.
It connects easily to devices most of the
time. I have had a few problems when connecting
to a new device but that is mainly because it takes some time for a device to recognise
it, but once it does, it continues to connect easily and quickly. The range of the device is fairly good. I found that most of the time that I was using
the headphones, I had my phone on me anyway so range was not an issue.
There was one major issues with the connection
though. I found that when I was playing games on my
phone that the game audio was a bit delayed and in some games, made me change to a pair
of wired earphones. I didnt experience this problem when watching
videos, just playing games. I havent tested them with gaming through
a computer however.
The headphones include 32mm drivers. The audio quality is fairly good. The headphones were tuned towards the bassy
side through JBL Pure Bass technology, which for me sounded great in music but not so good
when listening to videos or other more speech focused content. I did feel that they missed the mark when
it came to High and Middle frequency tuning as they dont feel as powerful as they could
be but that is a matter of opinion.
If you dont like a large amount of bass,
the sound might be hard to get used to, and for the people that like alot of bass, these
might not be the best considering the lack of tuning on the other frequencies. That said, the audio quality is quite good,
especially for the price tag of 70 australian dollars. The website and box of these headphones claim
about 11 hours of battery life. These headphones were impressive but I wouldnt
say it was quite 11 hours.
When the headphones are going flat, you will
definitely know about it. For about the last 30 mins of battery, the
headphones play an annoying noise every 5 or so minutes. This gets annoying and often stops me from
being able to use them until they truely go flat. I guess there are positives in that you wont
forget that it is going flat but just know the headphones wont really be usable in
the last half an hour of battery life.
For the functionality, I give them a 3.5 Out
of 5. As I previously stated, once connected, the headphones do a great job at reconnecting
to a device. This causes the time between picking up the
device and enjoying content to be a lot shorter, making the use of the headphones not much
different to a pair of normal cabled headphones. Talking about cables, the headphones dont
have a 3.5Mm auxiliary jack, which is disappointing to me because that means that once the headphones
go flat, you need to stop using them to charge them.
This is not helped by the placement of the
micro-usb charging port. The port is placed at the top of the right
earcup. So you have to take off the headphones to
charge them. The buttons are placed on the backside of
the right earcup which works really well for me being right handed but it shouldnt be
too bad a placement for people that are left handed.You press the top button to turn the
volume up and the bottom one to lower the volume.
When you hold those buttons, they skip or
go back a track. This is a really good implementation as we
are used to pressing to change the volume on our phones. I personally like this alot more than having
to hold down to change the volume. The button in between the two volume buttons
is used to pause and play music.
You also hold that button down to put the
headphones in pairing mode. It is a bit difficult to distinguish between
the volume buttons and play and pause button. It could have been better if the play and
pause button had a glossy finish because it takes a bit longer to make sure that you are
clicking the right button. Overall I give the headphones a 2.5 Out of
5 for ease of use.
Value
These headphones are definitely great for the price. If you are looking for a pair of bluetooth
headphones for your new phone, because it has no headphone jack, these are great. $70 Dollars is a prime spot, I think, for
a pair of headphones for that purpose. There are definitely better headphones on
the market if you care alot for audio quality.
However, these headphones work great for enjoying
music casually. The lack of a 3.5Mm auxiliary port is a big
downer for me personally, and for anyone that is looking for a pair of headphones that can
work well for all purposes but they are definitely not terrible at what they are made to do. JBL is a well known name in the sound industry,
so they have had a lot of experience working with sound and you probably wont be disappointed
with these headphones for casual use. For me, they could have made this device a
lot better if they moved the charging port, included an audio jack and fixed the issues
I had with the connection latency in games, but overall I am happy with my purchase and
I do recommend these headphones.
The T450BT headphones get a 3 out of 5 for
value. If you guys enjoy this video, make sure to
give it a thumbs up and a comment down below. If you like The Sound of Tech, and would like
to see more videos just like this, make sure These headphones are definitely great for the price. Cheers [Music].
