Altec Lansing Bluetooth Headphones MZW300 Review

Altec Lansing Bluetooth Headphones MZW300

Altec lansing Bluetooth Headphones might not be the headphones you buy to show-off your friends, But when you put them on you will immediately know that they are worth it. The sound is phenomenal for its price and the headphones are really light and very comfortable(not many headphones are comfortable for extended usage), and it does what it is meant to do at full potential. Bluetooth pairing is fine and there is also a 3.5 mm jack if there is no juice left use it the old way.

Available in white, red and black, the headphone do not look flashy. It is entirely built out of plastic. The ear cups are big enough cover the entire ear comfortably. The cushioning inside the ear cups is of really good quality. Despite the big ear cups the device is quite light and the headband too has great cushioning.

Design

The device sports 3 physical buttons on the left side of the speaker. The Headphones though being made of plastic have earcups and headrest cushioning which is made out of premium material.

There are 3 buttons on the left earcup which perform multiple duties, Power button when long pressed turns the headphone off/on while a single press during music playback will pause and pressing again plays the music again. Double tapping it anytime will automatically call up the last number dialed by the user.

Long pressing the volume up button changes to the next song whereas long pressing the volume down button changes to the previous playing song.

Sound

Powered by 40mm audio drivers, the Altec Lansing MZW300 delivers a loud and crisp sound. Even at the highest audio levels, it doesn’t feel too sharp or irritating on ears. The sound doesn’t break at high base music and no part of sound is lost in transition.

Connectivity

The headphones connect to mostly every possible device easily, we tested connecting with Android devices, iOS Devices and Blackberrys all devices linked and worked perfectly there was no break in voice or loss.

Pros

• Sound quality is very good
• The device is launched at a very competitive pricing
• Headphones are very comfortable
• Wireless technology functions without faults
• Headphones are light and easy to use

Cons

• Noise isolation is not very good at lower volumes
• Light flickering on the side headphones gets really annoying when listening to music in the night.
• Battery could have been better.

Verdict

The Altec Lansing Bluetooth Headphones MZW300 is a good device for anyone looking for minimalistic headphones with really good sound quality and looking to use their headphones for extended time periods. The comfort tops our list in a sub 5k bluetooth headphones. Build quality could have been a tad better too, could have had a metal design. The competition is strong in the sub 5k bluetooth headphone market but Altec has done a good job with the headphones.
