Review:
Excellent budget earphones
These earphones were sent to me for review and I think they
are excellent, particularly at this price. The quality of sound available for around
twenty quid these days is remarkable, and the UMI-BTA6 are a good example. They are well made and sound quality is very
good.
The BTA6 are very nicely packaged in an attractive tin box, in which you get the earphones themselves, a range of silicone tips and silicone flanges to hold the earphones more firmly in your ear if you wish, a standard micro-USB lead for charging and a good user manual. It all seems well made and of good, durable quality.
The really important things for me are sound quality and comfort, both of which are very good. I was impressed by the quality of the sound; getting the positioning exactly right (which is critical with earbuds) was easy and there is very good bass, really nice, rich middles and sharp trebles. It's very nicely balanced, volume is perfectly adequate for my use and I heard no distortion at full volume (which is too loud for me to bear for more than a few seconds). I put them through my standard Test Playlist (which is very varied) and they performed very well on everything - classical music is clear and distinct even with a big orchestra, and rock and pop sound great.

Comfort was good, too. Once I'd selected the correct tips the earbuds lodged firmly in my ears and stayed there comfortably for extended periods.
They are Bluetooth only, with no wired connectivity. Bluetooth connection was pretty straightforward (there is no NFC, by the way, just conventional pairing) and I find the range good with no problems up to about 10 metres. Battery life is good; I haven't tested it to exhaustion, but the claim of up to 8 hours seems reasonable to me. The controls and microphone are all on a simple control panel on the lead; everything worked as you'd expect and functionally I think these earphones are very good. The LED indicator is almost hidden on the end of the panel, by the way, which can make it look as though the earphones are dead when you first try them, until you locate the LED!
In summary, these are well made earbuds which offer very good quality for the price. The sound is impressive, with a good bass response. This is becoming quite a crowded market now and I have tried a few good earphones of this kind. These are a good product and I can warmly recommend the UMI-BTA6.
