Stylish design, but the sound fails

2.2

The Wavell 3 Light Comfort headphones offer a stylish and modern design with great comfort, but when it comes to sound quality and technical features, they leave much to be desired.

Snygg design
Bra passform
Bad sound quality
Difficulty making phone calls
Bad and complicated connection

Appearance and aesthetics

The design of the headphones is both modern and stylish, which makes them attractive to a wide audience. The small and slim case contributes to a minimalist and elegant look. The case opens by “sliding” it up, which is not only practical, but also gives a luxurious feeling. The minimalist design is an advantage for those who want a pair of headphones that both look great and feel luxurious without being flashy.

Comfort and fit

One of the most outstanding characteristics of these headphones is their comfort and fit. They really live up to their promise of being so comfortable that they are barely felt in the ears. This makes it possible to wear them for several hours without experiencing discomfort, which is a great advantage for those who use headphones for extended periods, such as when working, commuting or traveling. The minimal design also makes it possible to sleep with the headphones without any problems, although there is a pair of headphones specifically designed for this, the Wavell 3 Light Sleep. To further enhance the fit, the headphones come with three different sizes of ear tips, making it possible to find the perfect fit to fit your ears. This customization contributes to both comfort and sound quality, as a good fit helps keep the headphones securely in place and reduces sound leakage.

The sound quality unfortunately fails

When it comes to sound quality, unfortunately, these headphones have some shortcomings. The sound is burky, which means it lacks clarity and depth. This can be disappointing for users who prioritize high sound quality. In addition, the sound leaks out, which can be disturbing both for the user and for people nearby. The adjustment possibilities of the sound are also limited and cumbersome to use. Sometimes you can manage to activate a “movie mode” that slightly improves the sound. The lack of noise cancellation is another drawback, especially for those who use the headphones in noisy environments or want a more immersive audio experience.

Connectivity

The Bluetooth connection is another point where these headphones have great possibilities for improvement. Users report a lot of hassle in getting a stable and reliable connection. A specific annoyance is that you always have to remove the right earpiece first from the case, otherwise the left one will not connect. This can be frustrating and time-consuming. Another problem is that the headphones sometimes keep playing sound even when they are placed in the case, which means that you can't always rely on them being turned off when they should be.

Battery life and charging

The headphones have a generally good battery life, which is a plus for those who use them for long periods of time. However, there are problems with how the battery level is handled. When headphones start warning of low battery levels, they often die within just a few minutes, giving you very little foresight. This can be especially annoying during important conversations or when one is in the middle of something and does not have the opportunity to charge them immediately. Clearer low battery warnings would greatly improve the user experience.

Kontroller och funktioner

En stor frustration är de krångliga kontrollerna och funktionerna. Vid försök att ansluta hörlurarna till den rekommenderade appen har vi ofta misslyckats, även efter att ha följt instruktionerna noggrant. Bristen på information både i instruktionsboken och online gör det svårt att förstå och använda de olika funktionerna. För att förbättra detta skulle tydligare och mer omfattande instruktioner vara till stor hjälp.

Prestanda vid samtal

Prestandan vid telefonsamtal är en annan svaghet hos dessa hörlurar. Det är omöjligt att ha ett bra samtal eftersom mottagaren ofta inte hör vad man säger. Hörlurarna plockar upp mycket bakgrundsljud, vilket gör samtalen svåra att genomföra i bullriga miljöer.

Pris och värde

När man väger in alla dessa faktorer blir priset på hörlurarna en kritisk punkt. De är inte värda sitt pris, trots den goda passformen och den stilrena designen. Med tanke på problemen med ljudkvalitet, anslutning, batterihantering och samtalsfunktioner, känns hörlurarna överprisade. För att de verkligen ska vara värda sitt pris behövs betydande förbättringar inom flera områden. Trots den toppklassiga passformen och estetiken, är det inte tillräckligt för att motivera kostnaden med de nuvarande prestandaproblemen.

Sammanfattningsvis erbjuder dessa hörlurar en utmärkt design och passform, men de faller kort på flera kritiska områden som ljudkvalitet, anslutning och samtalsfunktionalitet. För dem som främst söker estetiskt tilltalande och bekväma hörlurar kan de fortfarande vara ett alternativ, men för dem som prioriterar funktionalitet och prestanda finns det bättre val tillgängliga på marknaden.
