We tested audiomax HB-8A Bluetooth headphones

When we look for an on-ear headset with Bluetooth connectivity, prices tend to skyrocket. Prestigious brands considerably raise the price of products with these characteristics, although luckily, more and more alternatives appear on the market such as audiomax HB-8A headphones.

You have probably never heard of this brand but the truth is that their products are getting good reviews so nothing better than testing them to draw our own conclusions.

Unboxing audiomax HB-8A

The packaging of the audiomax HB-8A headphones is simple although inside we will find everything you need in order to get the most out of these helmets:

• Audiomax HB-4.0A Bluetooth 8 Headphones
• Funda
• MicroUSB charging cable
• Auxiliary cable based on 3,5 mm jack
• Instructions

It is a detail that the cover is included since thanks to it, we can store them safely and prevent them from becoming dusty, scratched, etc.

Integrated

These on-ear headphones put aside the current colorism and bet on a sober and elegant design, mixing polished aluminum with generously sized black pads, something that we will appreciate when we spend several hours with them on our heads.

Yes, the audiomax HB-8A they are very comfortable. The headband does not exert excessive pressure on our head although it holds perfectly. The pads perfectly collect our entire ear and also offer a percentage of isolation against external noise (there is no noise cancellation technology).

When it comes to storing the headphones, we can fold them into the sleeve and reduce the space they occupy. The folding mechanism puzzles me and is that it sounds quite a loud clack as if a plastic tab separates the folded position from the normal one. Build quality is good so hopefully the system won't be a problem in the future.

Sound quality

I have always been quite reluctant to use Bluetooth for listening to music. The loss of quality is evident in front of the audio jack or other wired connections, that without forgetting the possible interferences when we go out of the range that this connectivity covers (10 meters maximum).

The audiomax HB-8A have positively surprised me when it comes to sound quality. I am quite fussy about headphones and few are the models that I like, however, these offer a fairly balanced sound between frequencies so none of them stands out above the rest. The bass is punchy although it lacks depth and the mid and high frequencies are clean, without distortion even when we shake with a higher volume than normal.

Autonomy

The manufacturer of these Bluetooth helmets promises a autonomy of up to 19 hours and it does so, standing at a value above the usual average. Being of the on-ear type has allowed us to introduce a battery of generous dimensions and if we add to this the low consumption of the Bluetooth 4.0 protocol, we get this remarkable battery life.

To charge the audiomax HB-8A we will have to resort to the microUSB cable that comes standard. If we run out of battery, another option to continue using them is to resort to 3,5 mm audio jack and thus they will become a traditional cable headphones.

Other details

To finish with the analysis of the audiomax HB-8A, simply note that thanks to Bluetooth connectivity, we can use them as hands-free.

On the right earphone there is a button to answer calls and two others with which we can control the volume of music playback.

Conclusions

For a price of 69,99 euros, the audiomax hb-8a headphones they are a highly recommended option If what you are looking for is listening to music without cables, with a balanced sound quality and with the greatest possible comfort, all without leaving your wallet empty. They have convinced me and of course, they are a step above other much more expensive headphones but from renowned brands.
