Velodyne vQuiet Review
You need to focus on something, but there’s too much distraction and noise all around, breaking your focus in the process and hindering your thinking. Of course, putting on a pair of headphones and drowning out the unwanted sound with some music can get the job done. However, noise can sometimes continue to creep in – so now you have to contend with those disturbances as you’re trying to enjoy the music. Well folks, the good people over at Velodyne are aiming to mute those distractions entirely with its vQuiet headphones.
Giving it some serious firepower, the Velodyne vQuiet features 40mm drivers, frequency response of 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 105 dB/1 kHz/1 mW sensitivity, and a 90% reduction in ambient noise. Starting with the latter, we’ll say that it works well when we’re playing a song at the mid to high volume levels. In fact, background noise and disruptions are almost non-existent with this feature on, but if we’re just wearing the headphones without playing a song, we can still hear some of those unwanted sounds in the background. As for the audio performance, we have to admit that its volume is commanding – nearly deafening at the loudest setting. Having a strong bass presence is something produced astoundingly with the vQuiet, since there’s a fair amount of thump and liveliness with them. At higher volumes, though, mids tend to drown out by the stronger emphasis on those low tones. Overall, we’re pretty pleased by the headphone’s audio quality. It’s bold, rich, and robust!
Sporting a price point of $299, these don’t come cheap. For the price and all, consumer would imagine this to be at least a wireless Bluetooth model, but that’s sadly not the case. Instead, what we have here is simply a wired option that entices us with its noise cancelling property. Indeed, that aspect works well as long as we’re listening to something, but things tend to get drowned out at higher volume settings.
