Appearance
The package of headphones, except for the documents, includes only a USB cord. With it you can recharge the headset by connecting it to your laptop or computer. The battery pack is not included, it is not recommended to use charging blocks from phones, as the battery capacity is not designed for high voltage.
The design of the headphones is really as simple as possible. The earpiece is plastic, adjustable in length, on the side you can see the cord that connects the speakers. The ear cushions are made of eco-leather: they do not fit your ears tightly, they do not cover them completely.
This is a positive side:
- No sweat in the ears even when wearing the headphones for long periods of time;
- The headset suits people with different head size;
- External sounds are not lost completely.
Users have also noted downsides to the design:
- the ear cushions move off the ears, you have to correct them;
- the music you listen to in the headphones can be disturbing to others;
- Extraneous noises always cut into the music and can even drown out the movie.
All functional buttons are located on the right earpiece without compromising the austerity and simplicity of the design. The plastic pads on the cups are scratched, but this has no effect on the quality of playback. The cups swivel, which makes it possible to stow the headphones relatively compact in an upright position.
Functionality
The only function that the left earpiece has is accelerated Bluetooth pairing of the device with the transmitting device. It's enough to put your smartphone to the letter N on the cup and it will immediately connect to the headset. If you don't have NFC on your phone, you can connect the usual way, through the built-in Bluetooth app.
It's also possible to connect the headset to laptops, tablets, and computers. The headset remembers up to 8 devices and can connect to them automatically without pairing settings.
The only thing you must remember is that, as with many other wireless headsets, Sony MDR zx330bt has a small data transmission range, so go further than 10 meters from the device is not recommended.
The other keys and inputs are located on the right earpiece:
- Micro USB input for charging;
- on/off key (pairing is performed immediately after turning on the headphones);
- The lever to switch tracks. It is also used to pause music and answer incoming calls.
At the bottom there is a hole for the LED, which blinks blue when you switch music modes. There is a playback of songs in low quality, medium and excellent. Depending on the level of quality, the battery power is consumed. The main thing is that excellent quality is supported by the transmitting device.
The crowding of the buttons is another disadvantage noted by owners of headphones. You have to get used to the location of the keys so that you can press the right one without touching your ears.
Autonomy
The manufacturer claims up to 30 hours of work on a single charge. And, judging by user reviews, this is reliable information.
Owners of Sony MDR zx330bt headset write:
- "I don't listen to music very often, about three times a week for an hour. I haven't charged the headphones yet, I've been using them for a month.
- "Every day, while I'm driving to work in the morning and then home in the evening, I sit with my headphones on. A total of two hours. And I charge the headset once every two weeks.
- "The autonomy is off the charts. I listen to music for a long, long time, even forgetting to charge them."
When charging the headphones do not work. Some users consider this a disadvantage, but this feature is provided for safety purposes. The full capacity of the battery is replenished in 3 hours.
Sound
Sony MDR zx330bt differs from other wireless music transmission devices particularly good sound. The dome speakers provide lively sound with no loss of quality despite their small size (3 cm). Some users note that even Philips, Sven step this model in the quality of playback.
Good bass, excellent detail, no background noise - the sound quality pleases most owners of these wireless headphones. Moreover, music of different genres (pop, metal, acid music, etc.) can be played equally well. The headset really provides live sound, close to the real one, as the manufacturer promises.
But for phone calls the headset is not very suitable. The microphone is located at ear level, so there are problems with it. Sounds around (the hum of public transport, conversations with people around), the microphone transmits well. But the speech of the speaker can sometimes be heard badly, you have to raise your voice.
Conclusion
Melomany will definitely like wireless headphones Sony MDR zx330bt, which are suitable for playing classical music and for listening to heavy rock. If you plan to use the headset for calls, it is better to give preference to other models, with a more intelligent location of the microphone and headphones with high noise isolation.
