The opinion of owners about the headphones Huawei AM12 plus is divided almost in half. One part praises the device for the excellent packaging, comfortable ear cushions, clear controls. The other part leaves negative reviews, primarily negatively evaluating the sound - the most important quality for headphones.
Packaging, design
Buying Huawei AM12 plus as a gift is probably a good idea, its packaging looks very presentable. The box is in the form of a barrel, in which the headphones and the remote control are neatly packed. The package is quite weighty, it also contains a manual and spare silicone ear cushions in special sockets.
The headphones are wired, and the thick round wire deserves special attention. It looks reliable, the metal braid prevents the cable from chafing along the length even with frequent use.
But the input is straight, which becomes a problem for those who like to carry the phone in the back pocket of jeans. It is at the inlet hard wire gradually bends, at the junction of the cable with the plug there are kinks and fraying.
The ear cushions are silicone, three pairs are included. The ear cushions are standard type, so you can freely replace them with any of the same or larger / smaller size from other headphones. The ear cushions fit well in the ears, very rarely cause discomfort. They only fall out when moving actively: running, jumping, or shaking your head violently.
The heads are metal, keg-like, very heavy, pure metal. Their shape is very good, it allows you to freely insert the headphones in your ears and prevents them from falling out. The sound tube is wide, which, according to the idea, should give a deep surround sound. At the bottom of the barrels there is a compensating output, marking left/right is on the side.
The remote control is a little bit stiff, but as easy as possible to operate, the buttons are pressed with a clearly distinguishable click. The remote control has a standard set of buttons: volume control and answer the call. Slow movement of the buttons due to moisture protection. The remote control is placed exactly in the middle of the cable - 30 cm to the headphones, headphones cables are the same length.
Control features
The functions of the remote control are standard:
- intermittent pressing of the button " - / +" - decrease / increase the sound of the melody playback;
- a short press on the middle button: on/stop a melody;
- on incoming call: single press to answer the call, long press to reject the call;
- switching tracks forward/backward is done by double and triple pressing in the middle of the remote control.
Controls are simple, but you have to practice to press the buttons quickly and correctly. It's good that the remote control is big and the keys feel great under your fingers. But its weight is a problem for users who are used to a lightweight headset that doesn't rip the headphones out of their ears when leaning forward.
The headset is paired with a variety of devices: smartphones on all platforms, tablets, laptops, computers, players. There is no possibility to use voice control, which further reduces the rating of the device among users. The headset also does not read incoming messages.
Microphone
The microphone hole is located on the remote - it's just a single small hole. For the other party to hear you, you will have to lift the remote and bring it to his face. There is no active noise cancelling, all the sounds near the speaker will go into the microphone.
Owners of the headset complain that they can not hear, speech is interrupted, there is background noise, echo. Although there are isolated reviews, which noted the good work of the microphone in a quiet room.
Speakers
Usually users note the good sound of music in wired headphones. But about half of the owners of Huawei AM12 plus note terrible, flat, poor sound quality. There are also those who think the sound is excellent.
Ambiguous reviews from owners:
- "The sound is like coming from under water, like in a barrel. It's muffled and flat. It feels strange, maybe it's the ear cushions, but listening to music is not comfortable."
- "Echoes appear, both in the headphones and in the microphone. Periodically losing sound in one of the headphones after a month of use. To listen to music, you have to constantly adjust the equalizer. For audiobooks the sound is normal.
- "Problem with sound, not enough volume, almost the same as AKG headphones, maybe just a little better. I can't control the volume so much, but I have to fiddle with the phone. I can watch movies, though.
- "The sound is quite good, not worse than the budget Xiaomi Piston. But the cord is strong, it will last a long time.
Although not all headset owners sound flat and unpleasant, this drawback stops many buyers. Especially considering the cost of headphones (about 1400 rubles), at which you can buy two pairs of wired headsets with better sound.
Conclusion
The main advantage of the Huawei AM12 plus headset is in the sturdy aluminum housing. Sturdy heads, a weighty remote and a tight wire are ready to serve for a very long time. The large sound tube, protected by a mesh, provides normal sound, but does not give a really wonderful sound, pleasing to audiophiles.
You can use the headphones every day, but only if the shape of the ear cushions fits well to your ear canal. Then both the tops and the bottoms will sound brighter. If you have the opportunity to overpay for high quality sound, it is better instead of this headset to buy Pioneer SE-CH5T, which also please the excellent build and durability.
