Counting on very few flaws, we can say that the Quantum LIV repeats the good surprise that the Quantum Go was in 2015.

If we had to kick it, we'd say headphones Bluetooth will become increasingly common from now on. Companies like Apple  already abandoned the connector P2, but the iPhone 7 was not the first model to go in that direction. Brands like Motorola came out ahead, in the case of Moto Z. Many disagree with this movement (not without reasons, it's worth noting), but the fact is that it creates a demand for wireless models. Makes room for models like the How much XNUMX that we are going to meet today, and we have a lot of good things to say about him, with a few flaws.

Design and build quality p26p

Focusing on the strictly aesthetic aspect, the How much XNUMX It's a pretty neat model. It mixes metal and plastic with a result that is both sober and elegant. On the underside of the rim, we have a light rubberized cover, which is there more to secure it to the head than for comfort, per se. The pressure from the shells is enough to keep it fixed. And, even using a reduced size foam, we didn't feel discomfort even after hours of use.

The metal regions give a feeling of robustness to the How much XNUMX. Contrary to what happens with many Bluetooth models, we don't need to take care of it with “kidney gloves”. Its construction gives the assurance that it will last for a few good years of use, an important requirement for those who like to listen to music on the go. However, we have a reservation. The plastic on the outside of the shell proved to be impact resistant indeed. But it doesn't take much effort to scratch it. That is, it does not give the feeling that it will break, but it will certainly have malfunctions in a short time.

In the outer region of the shell we have the main control button. He is responsible for pairing, turning it on/off and pausing the songs. Each function varies according to how long it is pressed. In fact, all the controls are on the right shell in a very discreet way. There's volume control, built-in microphone and a second secondary microphone for noise isolation. There is a third in the outer shell dedicated to soundproofing, as we will see later.

Sound quality 6z106z

Here we had a pleasant surprise. Amidst a sea of ​​low quality models on the market, the How much XNUMX glows ("make noise" would be a more accurate expression). What happens, in most cases, is to see manufacturers focusing on making their models look more aggressive. As a rule, sound quality takes a back seat. That's not what happens here. We are sure that the LIV It won't please audiophiles, but it certainly won't disappoint those looking for excellent quality sound for everyday life.

The coolest thing is that the How much XNUMX it doesn't focus excessively on the bass, pretending to have a higher quality than it actually has. The bass and treble are well balanced, although the mids are a little muted. Within its price range, however, even more for being a Bluetooth model (commonly more expensive), it really surprises. It is worth noting that this is not an exclusive feature of this model. Models that bring average levels of good quality are quite rare. Often overly expensive.

Scratch caused by slight drag on a wooden surface.

It's worth ing music in maximum quality in apps like Spotify and Deezer. The difference in quality is noticeable, showing that the How much XNUMX has an excellent decoder internal. The same goes for the amplifier, since, at maximum volume, the sound is very loud (really), to the point of hurting the ear. In of sound quality, it's hard to see anyone disappointed with it.

Sound insulation and battery life 2g3344

The sound insulation of How much XNUMX is both active and ive. Putting it on your head, even when turned off, there is already a significant reduction in external noise. When turned on, the technology CVC 6.0 goes into action. The microphone on the left, below the Power button, does a good job of completely cutting out external noise. You don't need to turn it up to high volume for it to kick in. In fact, after using it for a few days, you get used to seeing people moving their lips while talking. They get a little frustrated when they realize you're not listening. But, well, that means the system works.

A Quantum promises until 20 hours of music playback to LIV, or 300 hours of standby time. We didn't get to measure it precisely, but it's easy to believe that it hits that mark easily. For 5 consecutive days, using it for approximately 3 hours a day, it still had charge left. This is an excellent brand. In our tests, we loaded it more for prevention than anything else. In other words, combine sound insulation with high autonomy to have an excellent candidate for those who fly frequently. Especially when your seat is close to the turbine.

Honestly, we don't know where this risk came from.

In the package we also have the USB-micro USB cable for charging and a P2-P2 cable. Even if the battery runs out, you can still use it with cable.

Conclusion 60664y

We found the How much XNUMX at the suggested price of R$399. Counting on very few flaws, we can safely say that he repeats the good surprise that the Quantum go was in 2015. A complete set at an affordable price that “showed what came“, facing competitors without fear. Counting on a small portfolio of products, each of Quantum's launches shows a huge amount of advance planning. If the company continues like this, it certainly has a bright future, surprising consumers who are used to overpriced products here.

Essentially, we only have two criticisms. In fact, a critique and a recommendation for a the future Quantum 2 XNUMX. Criticism is, as we said, the fragility of the plastic on the outside of the shell in relation to scratches. As we said, it was not fragile to impacts, but the ease with which it presents risks is something that should be noted. Secondly, it is worth noting that it folds, something important to fit in your backpack. Although, does not come with a protective pouch, an accessory that would be extremely welcome in future versions.

Anyway, considering its price, we can say that “we expected less”. Rare are the products that really exceed expectations, and the How much XNUMX is certainly one of those.
