TreoCentral Review

TC Review: Smartphone Experts Hybrid Headphones

Reviewed by Andre Kibbe

The product photo of this headset is all I had to go on when I ordered my review unit, and I was honestly unimpressed. One guy's "cool industrial" design is another guy's "utilitarian and boring" design.

Then it came in the mail. As soon as I pulled it out of the envelope, I realized my original hasty assessment was . . . right on the money.

Well, almost. The anodized aluminum coating is a nice detail that doesn't come across well in photos. The aluminum housing for the microphone controller and earphones give the product more heft than typical headsets molded from plastic. It's a small detail, but it does affect how you feel about them in your ears. Most plastic earbuds feel like they're always about to fall out of my ears, but that's largely because they lack weight, not traction. These earbuds feel like they're going to stay put, because the additional weight increases my ongoing awareness of them in my ears.

I haven't used the headset long enough to get a reasonable sense of how durable it is over a few months. In cheap headsets, problems related to mediocre build quality usually surface around the third or fourth month. The wires' insulation is a little on the thin side, and the connection is somewhat loose inside the aluminum housing that terminates the wire below the earbud. It seems like it wouldn't take much wear to break the connection, but as mentioned, that's not based on actual long-term experience.

When the jack is properly seated, the sound quality is surprisingly good for a $15 headset. I only notice some minor distortion in the upper midrange when electric guitars were playing. The biggest problem is keeping the jack properly seated. Even though the jack tends to look and feel securely inserted, silence or sibilance (a hissing on high frequencies) usually indicates that the jack needs some adjustment. Once I would push the jack deeper into the Centro than seemed warranted, the sound problems would vanish. Typically it was the rotation of the jack that would bring the problem on. If I had the Centro laid on the desk, there were no issues, but if I started walking around with the phone in my pocket, the movement would induce jack rotation, and the sound would cut out or distort from time to time.

The call quality, inbound and outbound, was pretty much in line with what I expect from wired headsets: muted highs, but clear enough in the bass and midrange to be practical. Virtually all wired headsets have this characteristic, so it's pretty easy to identify callers using them.

A thin line!

User: Sean Burris, Dec 19, 2006

Pros:	Sounds great for talking and music
Cons:	Not very durable

I had a set of these and the sound was great for listening to music and clear for talking, but the quality of the wire used isn't all that great. The sheithing is thin and the internal wires are even more thin. I ended up with broken wires to the point that I had to wiggle and twist the wire just to be able to hear. Not real great for even normal every day use. Mine lasted about 2 1/2 months.

	The WORST headphones.
User: Sameet Koppikar, Nov 14, 2006

Extremely thin wires which lose connection constantly. There is a reason they are so cheap.

	bad sound quality
User: Haruko Irie, Dec 17, 2006

I've been using mine for 3 months and now the right ear doesn't work. Now I'm just thinking about getting an adapter instead.

Do not buy these!

User: Nelida Madrigal, Jan 11, 2007

Pros:	none!
Cons:	everything!

I was excited when I first purchased these...the sounds is good...BUT---they feel awkward (in my ear at least). They are not comfortable at all, and it feels like I have huuuuge plugs in my ears. I have always been extremely careful with the headphones, unfortunately somehow one day the shorter end earbud broke..?!?!?! Now I can only use the other earbud. YOU ARE MUCH BETTER OFF PROBABLY BUYING THE ADAPTER INSTEAD...which is what I am going to end up doing...but I am not buying the adapter from this site!

A very unhappy and unsatisfied customer that feels extremely ripped off.

Very Poorly Made

User: Dwayne Alton, Feb 25, 2007

Pros:	Sound was good while it lasted.
Cons:	Poor quality.

The internal wires at the 2.5mm connector broke inside the shielding within a month. You had to wiggle the wire to get the sound to work. Otherwise, one audio channel and the mic channel both went out. Very poor design.
