Picun P6 Bluetooth headphones

Rating: 4/5

Review:
 Very good sound for the price, but unreliable radio and card-player

I have rounded 3.5-stars up to 4, because these are basically very good headphones. They were sent to me for review and there is a lot that is good about them: they are stylish, well made and deliver impressive sound for the price.  However, I have had trouble with the FM radio, and cannot get the card-player to work at all.

Good things first.  The headphones are nicely packaged and look very smart.  They are well made and comfortable to wear.  Bluetooth connection was simple and stable, and wired connection also works very well.  Most importantly, the sound is very good.  As I write these headphones cost less than twenty quid, and the sound quality is quite remarkable for that price.  Tops are clear and distinct, there are good middles and a very firm bass.  The balance is good, and everything in my Test Playlist, from 16^th-Century choral music to The National and London Grammar sounded good.  As an everyday pair of headphones, I'm very impressed. 

The problem is that neither the FM radio nor the micro-SD card player work well.  Neither worked at all on the first set I tried.  The distributors, whose Customer Service has been excellent, by the way, sent me a second pair and this time the radio worked OK, but still no joy with the card-player and after trying everything I can think of and helpful correspondence with the distributor, I have given up.

If these didn't have a radio and card-player built in, they'd have been five-stars at this price.  The distributors offer a good warranty, but I've tested two pairs now and it's not acceptable to have functions which simply don't work.  Neither of these functions matter much to me, so I'm happy with them as they are.  If you just want a pair of headphones to play music via Bluetooth or AUX jack, these are well made and I don't know of better quality sound at this price, so they may do you very well.  Do be warned, though, that if the FM radio or card-player are important to you, you may be disappointed.
