Review:
very good headphones in this price range
These Mindkoo MKO-023 headphones were sent to me for review
and I am impressed. At this price they
offer good build, good sound and very good value, I think.
The headphones are adequately packaged and come with a
standard micro-USB charging lead, a
jack-to-jack lead for wired connection and a decent User Manual in pretty good
English. The headphones look very nice, with a distinctive band and smart
earcup design. They have both Bluetooth
and wired connection, and I noticed no difference in sound quality between the
two modes. You can use wired connection to connect to non-Bluetooth devices, of
course, and also use it if the headphones are out of charge.
These are on-ear headphones; they are light and as long as you get on with on-ear pads they are very comfortable indeed. The ear pads are excellent and have enough movement to sit comfortably and give an adequate but not brilliant, sound seal. They have a good firm grip but aren't too tight, and I find them fine for prolonged listening. Bluetooth pairing is very easy and I found both the battery life and range good. The controls are nicely set out on the right-hand earcup on a rocking circular section and the controls you would expect are all there: pause/play, skip forward and back and (using the same "buttons," vlume + and -, and they work very well. There are also standard basic phone controls and a perfectly decent built-in microphone.
Sound quality is very good. I test all headphones and speakers using a playlist of test tracks which gives all aspects of the sound a thorough trial. It starts with 16th Century choral music, it ends with London Grammar and it has most things in between - orchestral, choral, vocal and chamber music, classic rock, acoustic music and so on. I thought these performed very well on everything; articulation is very clear, tops are bright without being harsh and the middles are rich and full. The bass is very good; it's not over-dominant but it's all there so the sound is very nicely balanced Instruments and voices in classical music are distinct and sound very good, rock really rocks when it needs to, acoustic music sounds bright and airy…I'm impressed. Real extremes, like the rolling deep bass in London Grammar's Hey Now, which really tests bass response, isn't as good as I've heard it on some higher-end headphones, but for a pair at around thirty quid (at the time of writing), these are impressive.
I think these are among the best headphones I've found in a crowded market in this price range. They look good, they're well made and have a balanced, clear sound these seem excellent to me. They are a good quality pair of headphones which I think out-perform their price, so I can recommend them warmly.
