Headphone design

The build quality and packaging of the long-established Sony company remained at a high level.

The headphones are available in white, black, yellow, green, purple and pink.

A gold-plated plug to a mini jack, 3.5 mm in diameter, L-shaped is considered more reliable and more durable than a straight one.

The length of the rubber tubular wire connecting the headphones to the phone is 120 cm.

From the plug to the remote control, the cord is quite thick and durable in appearance, of course.

There are three buttons on the control panel. With the help of these buttons the user can control the scrolling of tracks and calls from the phone. Provided that the phone is controlled by Android. The microphone hole is also located on the remote control, making these headphones an attractive accessory.

The cords from the remote control to the headphones are of different lengths. The left earpiece hangs on a shorter cord, the right one on a longer one.

The channels are marked on the plastic hard case. There is a Sony logo on the metal plate of the case.

The ergonomic shape of the earphone is suitable for penetration into the auricle of any configuration and size. The fixation of the headphones is quite reliable and does not cause discomfort.

Sound

In accordance with the design, the microphone is located quite close to the mouth, which will allow you to receive a satisfactory sound quality when talking on the phone, even if the user is outdoors in the area of ​​wind or noisy traffic. One way or another, the Sony STH-30, like a headset, copes with its function.

Now about the sound quality when playing music.

Natural sound is especially important for streaming where the viewer needs to be immersed in the action. A particularly pleasant Hi-End bonus here - the sound of the Sony STH-30 headset.

Of course, hard rock in these headphones will not sound to the fullest. There is not enough power to show the full amplitude of the sound. The sound reproduction range is not as wide as would be required for instrumental, classical or jazz music.

But dance club music will be heard on all channels. Purity and quality of reproduction in a comfortable range will be a pleasant bonus to your purchase.

Personal noise reduction

No noise protection is provided in the design of the headphones. Meanwhile, a pair of foam membranes would not be damaged during operation of these headphones, so that their position in the auricle was more dense. This is a small touch to the portrait, but spoils the impression. The company could even think of such a trifle, because there are several pairs of rubber inserts for the droplets. Why not expand the capabilities of these headphones.

Charging and autonomy

The headphones are powered by the playback device. Headphones are not intended for stand-alone operation.

Calls

The call button and microphone are part of the design of the console. Headphones are designed for talking on the phone. The sound quality is quite high. The microphone is located directly in the vicinity of the mouth, which protects it from clogging by wind or other extraneous noise. At the end of the conversation, to continue listening to music, just press the button or wait until the subscriber disconnects the call.

Sound control

The headphones are controlled from the remote control. The remote control provides track forward or backward. Button to play recording and pause. It also provides playback volume control.
