[General Accessories] BlueFlame4:
Hey,

some days ago Syllable sent me a pair of their D900s bluetooth in-ear headphones for review so here it is now :)

Let me clarify that I am neither paid by them nor related to them in any other way.

So let's start :highfive:

General information

​

The headphones ship in a box:

On the backside there is a lot of information printed onto it:

After opening the box you can see the headphones, which sit in another small box:

Going further along the unpacking, you get several goodies:

a micro usb charging cable

earplugs in different sizes

a band which you can use to hold the headphones together (I like the idea a lot!)

Here are the headphones unpacked:

Each of them has a button and clicking it will pause the music or end the current call. Pressing twice will call the last person you called. Unfortunately there is no way to skip tracks like it was possible on the D700.

Review:

Pairing​

I used an Elephone P8000 as a pairing device and it worked fine with the headphones. To pair you have to press and hold the button on the

right

headphone until it starts to blink. Then "SYLLABLE TIP" can be found in your BT smartphone menu. Once it is paired you can switch on the

left

headphone and they will automatically pair. The next time you want to use them just hold and press the button for a short time and your phone will pair with them automatically because it already knows them. So basically you have two modes:

discovery mode (long press on startup) which lets you pair new devices

normal mode (short press on startup) which lets you pair devices already known to the speakers

Note: Only one device can be paired at a time so if you switch devices, you have to turn off bluetooth on the first device in order to pair the second one. I think that's reasonable as also only one person can listen to the music coming out of these headphones so there is no need to pair more than one device at a time.

Sound Quality​

The sound quality is surprisingly good for the size! I usually wear on-ear headphones which have a lot of bass - obviously the D900s cannot compete with these. They have more highs and mids. When I pushed a bit onto the earphones the bass became more present but that is nothing I want to do while running. I still like the sound quality given these things have tiny speakers compared to my big headphones.

Calling​

I made some test calls while in a silent room and my partner could hardly understand me. That is now big surprise to me though because the microphone is basically in your ear. If you call people a lot via BT, go for different headphones.

Battery Life​

The D900s came pre-charged but I charged them nevertheless. The battery lasts surprisingly long (nearly 4 hours!). If you want to use these things for daily music I am pretty sure that you won't make it through the whole day if you listen to music all the time. But that is still not a problem, because the tiny plastic box in which the speakers can rest has a dedicated battery built in. Here you can see how they are charged:

. Once they are full you have 4 blue LEDs in the box which indicates the external battery capacity. So even if you are on the go you can charge them by simply putting them in the box! :)

Design​

The design of the D900s is subtle but it still looks a bit odd to have these things in your ear :D My pair came in decent black so you won't notice them immediately. I will still wear them in my daily life I guess.

Conclusion​

After all I am rather impressed by these headphones! You basically get a full functional bluetooth headphone pair with built in microphone, calling feature, and a decent battery life! And they are really tiny! Also the bluetooth range is really great! The only downside I can on the D900s spot is the low bass.

Pro:

Tiny!

Good battery life!

External battery!

Calling feature!

Great BT range!

Comes with two pairs of earplugs!

Good fit!

Con:

Little bass

Call partners will hardly understand you.

If you're looking for a pair of wireless headphones and you want them to be as tiny as possible, go for these guys! :highfive:
