The MEElectronics Air-Fi Journey Af16's are a fully featured headset that offers extreme portability for those looking for a solid wireless headset.
Features and Design:
There are a lot of wireless headsets out there right now, but I found no other headset that were this simplistic and easy to use. The headsets themselves are very lightweight, and when you finally get em on your ears, you never really feel them weighing your head down. Aesthetically, the headsets aren't the flashiest, and that's probably by design. You can get these headsets in a variety of different colors, but since they're pretty small, they are pretty inconspicuous when they wrap around the back of your head. The headphones are perfect for travel as well, as you can easily fold them up however you see fit. The short wire is pretty elastic, so it's easily bendable to fit it in your pocket or travel bag. The headset comes packed with a built in microphone as well. You won't ever have to take out your phone to answer calls, because of the simple controls that are located on the right earpiece. The volume controls are adjacent to the multifunction button. Then you have the micro usb charging port next to that, and that rounds out the right earpiece. There aren't any buttons or controls on the left earpiece. That basically rounds out the devices features and design, very simplistic and easy to use.
Quality and Performance:The sound quality, I thought was excellent, especially for a set at this price. The stereo speakers provide a smooth and solid audio experience, especially for a bluetooth device. I always expect the audio quality to take a hit when you're streaming audio over bluetooth, and it did, but it wasn't a severe hit. The sound quality was solid, even during songs that are bass heavy. The headset worked great with my iPhone, and it even had a cool battery indicator that displayed at the top of the phone's screen. I'm not sure if this goes the same for Android phones, so you'll have to try it for yourselves. Most people will probably pick these up for exercising with, and I'm pleased to say that the headsets make for a perfect match if you're a big time. I ran with the headset on multiple occasions, and they're just a joy to run with. I never really felt them moving while running, and the strap keeps them still so I never had to stop and adjust them, which can get really annoying when running. I honestly didn't find any fault with these headphones. As a big headphone and music buff, I have heard better sounding headphones before. Obviously those other headphones come at a much heftier price tag than $40 bucks(Amazon). I would have also liked a little less distortion. The headphones can sometimes distort certain songs, especially when you have the volume at high levels. Like I said however with the price, you can't really go wrong here. The battery has a lifetime of 5 hours while listening to music, 7 hours talk time, and over four days of standby time. The headset also only takes two hours for a full recharging.
Final Thoughts:The MEElectronics Air-Fi Journey is a great choice for those looking for ultra portable bluetooth headphones. The sound quality could be a bit better, but with the ease of use and the low price, these ended up being a steal.
