Main Review
For audio quality I had the headphones hardwired into my phone and had the equalizer set to normal.
Comfort
For someone who wears glasses like me, it’s really difficult to find comfortable headphones but thanks to a large amount of padding on the ear cups I was able to wear these for hours on end without issue.
Along with having a lot of padding the padding itself feels amazing. The best way I could describe it is like a faux leather covered pillow, it’s super soft and squishy which makes these headphones the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever used.
The padding also feels really well made. The covering over the foam padding feels strong enough to resist tearing and the padding itself has enough spring back to last for a while before it starts flattening out.
Along with being very well padded there’s also a decent amount of customizability with the length of the headband. I personally have a fairly large head and it could easily fit me and extend even further for people with even larger noggins.
Overall I rate the comfort of these headphones an easy 5/5. The padding is some of the thickest and softest I’ve personally used on a headphone and the overall shape fits really well even while wearing glasses.
Battery life
When I was first looking at the advertising material I thought the 40HR battery life was too good to be true but it looks like Tribit knew what they were talking about.
I fully charged the headphones once right after unboxing them and I’ve been using that same charge ever since. From using these headphones during multiple long gaming sessions to listening to music for both testing and just for fun I’ve yet to kill the battery, I haven’t even heard a low battery warning!
Once again Tribit blows me away and I have to rate the battery life 5/5. I don’t have an exact timer of how long the battery will last but going off my experience it should reach the 40HR mark easily.
Build quality
Tribit was smart here including stronger metal where it’s the most important for structural stability and using plastic everywhere else to keep cost down.
I was fairly impressed because even the plastic parts are quite well made, it doesn’t feel easy to break it any plastic is covered in a rubberized coating to help it both feel more premium and resist things like scratches.
Even the parts you don’t normally see feel well made. Inside the earcup there’s a somewhat stretchy latex feeling material over the speakers themselves, this feels well made and the fact that it stretches means it will do a great job at resisting tearing.
A problem I’ve had on some headphones is the padding itself coming straight off of the headphones but that doesn’t appear to be a likely issue here, the padding is very well attached to the headphones and even when I pulled on the padding it barely moved.
Overall these headphones feel great, while they could always include more metal for $50 they feel much more well made than other headphones around the same price point. I rate the build quality 5/5. While a majority of it is made out of plastic it’s very well made plastic and Tribit included metal it the main structural parts to make sure these headphones last a long time.
Sound Quality
After listening to a large variety of genres these headphones definitely impressed me considering the price tag.
These headphones provided a very clean “balanced” sound, what this means is nothing really feels overpowering. While this may not be the greatest thing for bass heads out there that need every drop of bass to shake their houses it does a great job at being an all-around headphone for any listening type. Also the bass is certainly not bad it just isn’t going to completely rattle your skull with stock settings, I was able to get the bass somewhat more pronounced by adjusting the EQ settings on my phone and by doing this I could definitely “feel” the bass when listening to some techno songs and I ended up being fairly impressed with how much bass these headphones can push out but I have personally heard more bass from some other headphones out there.
Overall though the sound quality from these is still great and for everyone but your most hardcore bass enthusiast these headphones will satisfy. I rate the sound quality 4.5/5. Overall for $50 they sound way better than expected and they provide a great clean sound but the bass could be better considering the size of the drivers.
Call quality.
I was actually quite impressed with how calls sounded on these headphones. Voices came through clear and I never had any issues having anyone on the other end understanding me.
I rate the call quality 5/5. These headphones were definitely above average when it came to handling calls.
Alright, let’s move on to the final score and conclusion!
