Favorite blues were played via Bluetooth: audiomaniac listens to wireless headphones Sven AP-B770MV

The Finnish company Sven can be, in a certain sense, called a legendary company. Though there are no high-class devices, that would excite imagination with their capabilities, but lots of times Sven managed to literally shock computer speaker market, presenting the models with excellent price to quality ratio. But computer speaker market is not the only sphere, where Sven declares itself – the firm produces a wide range of computer accessories – from network filters to keyboards and mice.

Recently the company decided to try efforts in the new industry and has released its first model of Bluetooth-headset. The novelty was named Sven AP-B770MV. Like the lion’s share of other devices of the company, it has a low price for its class – about 2000 roubles, but, taking into consideration the reputation of the firm in the sphere of computer acoustics, it is reasonable to expect that Sven AP-B770MV will become a real Must Have for its money. Let’s take a closer look and find out if the headset justifies such high expectations.

The package

As you can see, to connect to the source used in the headphones Bluetooth version 3.0, and there is no wired connectivity. The minus is not the most critical – but it puts the user of the headset from Sven in dependence on the socket, which can displease the fans of leaving far away from the places where electricity dwells, taking your favorite music with you.

The manufacturer claims for Sven AP-B770MV an impressive battery life – up to 22 hours. In conversation mode the test was successful at once. And in music listening mode, as our tests showed, the result was more modest at first – playing at maximum volume, the headset was able to last about 9 hours without recharging. But, on reflection, I decided to run the 24-hour marathon all over again – after the new one hundred percent charging. the sound was rolled back a little bit from the maximum – only dudes enjoy the full roll anyway, and the marathon went on till the declared 22 hours.

The indicator is not bad at all, especially as normal users will seldom turn the volume up to the max – in noisy conditions the average volume is enough for the majority – and by playing at this volume level, Sven AP-B770MV will be able to work even longer.

One of the headset’s features is the keys for playback control – we tested their functionality with Samsung Galaxy S4 and Iphone standard music players, as well as with iTunes and VLC players on Apple iMac – everywhere they worked properly.

Design and construction

I can’t say that Sven AP-B770MV design has any especially interesting, catchy “features”, but on the other hand, it doesn’t have that careless tinsel that often can damage cheap products from Celestial Empire but exactly there the headphones from Sven are made . On the whole, the appearance of the headphones is pleasant – calm and reserved.

The shell is made of matt plastic, the headband has an ergonomic leatherette insert. Build quality does not cause any complaints.

There are additional control elements on both the cups of Sven AP-B770MV: on the left cup there are the volume control keys and the power button, which can also be used to answer/reject calls, as well as to recall the last dialled number and to activate the voice dialing function.

Next to them are the microphone grid and light indicator for charging operating the headset. On the right cup there are rewind keys, Play/Pause button, and miniUSB socket, which is used for charging.

The earcups are fixed on movable joints, which help to rotate them by 90 degrees that makes the headphones convenient for carrying in briefcases and small bags.

The ear pads are made of quality leatherette which is pleasant to the touch and is the same as the one used in the headband cushion. Despite the fact that they are overhead headphones do not cause any discomfort, even after several hours of wearing them. Is that the contact of ear cushions with ear cushions sweats rather quickly.

Usability, noise isolation

The headphones from Sven are not too big, being worn on the head they look quite laconic, their user does not look too chunky. At that, long sliding cup holders allow fitting almost any head size – it is unlikely that any of the users will find the headphones too small. It is possible to name the optimal pressing force of Sven AP-BM770V cups: the earphones do not exert excessive pressure on the user’s ear pads, but at the same time they hold enough tight and do not tend to come off during head abrupt movements.

Sven AP-B770MV cope with the cutting off of external noise for these over-the-ear headphones very well – you can listen to music in them even in such noisy places like the subway – you will not have to strain your ear to catch some notes of your compositions among the surrounding hum, you will hear the music clearly. True, you should “turn up” the volume in such noisy environment and even so the surrounding noise will be heard you approximately at the same level with your music.

Sound

Taking into consideration that Sven AP-B770MV are inexpensive headphones and besides that they are wireless, the sound quality is excellent for their class. Certainly, you should not wait for the outstanding details of the musical canvas, clear elaboration of complex compositions with a lot of simultaneously playing instruments, fine nuances of timbres, different audiophile “tasty things” from the point of possibility to hear the musicians’ clothes rustling in the recordings. No other wireless headphones in this price category are able to give it.

But as for the tonal balance of sound, Sven AP-B770 MV are really excellent, and perhaps they can head off a number of models with outright enormous price tags.

Their sound has neither roaring, pressing bass, nor ear-shrill high frequencies, nor serious “distortions” in the middle-frequency range.

There is a slightly elevated bass, which adds power and dimension to the sound, a smooth, natural “middle part” and absolutely not sharp, pleasant to hear high frequencies.

The sound of the headphones is soft, smooth, natural – it’s devoid of any annoying moments. And it can also boast a noticeable volume – despite its overall simplicity.

It also must be mentioned that Sven AP-B770MV plays very loud – so loud that they almost shout down the small-sized portable speaker system. But if you turn the volume to the maximum, the speakers start to grow rusty, and the sound quality decreases, the sound becomes harsh. But hardly the users of Sven AP-B770MV will often listen to music at maximum volume – it is too high. You just need to turn it down a little, and everything comes back to normal, the harshness and wheezing disappears.

Voice quality

Sven AP-B770MV has no problems with speech quality – the voices of your interlocutors are clearly audible, and your interlocutors will not complain of your voice being hard to hear either.

Total

What about the result – is it possible to call Sven AP-B770MV Must Have device in its class?? In our opinion, quite. The main reason for that is the sound quality. Design, build quality, operation time and extra functionality – all these features of Sven AP-B770MV are quite good, but quite typical.

But we were really pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of the headphones. Their sound is natural, voluminous, powerful and solid – thanks to a little bit too much bass. It has absolutely no annoying features.

The detail is not audiophile, of course, but hardly any wireless headphones priced in 2000 Dollars, which have it fundamentally higher.
