- What's up everyone?
This is your boy, El Jefe, and I'm back with a video
that has taken way to long to make.
And by that I mean,
I had to wait for these freakin' headphones
to come in from China,
and I ordered them like a month ago,
and it's been taking forever for these to come in,
but they have finally arrived.
So what I'm talking about here,
is the much requested Bluedio T6.
As of the making of this video, these are only available
on AliExpress for right around 50 bucks.
I'll be sure to leave a link to that,
right down in the description box below.
Now before we go any further,
and for full disclosure, I went ahead and picked up
these headphones with my own money,
for the purposes of this review.
Now before I drag on any further, let's go ahead
and get right into this review.
(hip hop music)
All right guys, so let's get into some of the pros and cons
of the Bluedio T6's.
Now I've had these for a couple days, and that's given me
plenty of time to watch TV shows, movies,
listen to a ton of different music,
and overall just kind of live with them,
to see what it's like,
and what the user experience is like out of the box.
So first, and foremost, the sound quality.
Man, (laughs) they outdid themselves here.
These are by far the best sounding
of the turbine series that I've tried so far.
These are better than the T4S, these are better than the T5
and T5S, these are better than the TMs.
It's like they took the best part of the T4S,
which was that ultra-D base,
and the best out of the T5, which was the great mid-range,
and the crispy highs, and they put them together
in one headphone.
So the sound quality and the sound stage is,
not only is it balanced,
but you get that super rich base as well.
So man, I am really, really happy with these.
And that applies for both listening to them on Bluetooth,
or in wired mode, you don't get any sound quality loss,
you don't get any loss of volume, so yeah.
That's a big plus.
And speaking of volume, these get seriously loud.
I don't listen to them at full blast,
probably around 75 to 80 is about as max as I personally go,
and that's plenty.
If you're listening to hip hop, classical, reggae, rock,
latin music, whatever it might be, plenty of volume
for whatever you wanna listen to.
Now secondly, speaking of TV shows and things like that,
I haven't experienced any video lag or latency
using the T6s when I'm watching You Tube videos,
or Netflix, or Hulu, or any of that stuff.
No latency, no lag, there's no issues with syncing the audio
when people are speaking to the video.
As far as I can tell, it seems like Bluedio has gotten
this problem figured out since the T4S and the T5s
haven't had this issue.
Now third, we've got the comfort.
So these have a tighter fit, and they're a bit lighter
than the T4S and the T5s, so comfort wise, it's really nice.
They also have a more oval-shaped ear cup,
so they're more of an over-ear design,
as opposed to on-ear design.
For me, I have large ears, as you can tell, but they almost
completely cover my entire ears,
which is nice for that passive noise isolation.
And also, the tighter fit means that I can walk around
in them, be a little bit more active.
If I'm cleaning the house, bending down to pick things up,
they don't feel like they're gonna slip off my head.
So that's a nice touch, I like having that.
Some of these people who, maybe wanna work out with them,
stuff like that, it won't be an issue.
And then as far as battery life goes,
when I pulled them out of the box, I was able to listen
to them for right around four to five hours
before I had to recharge them.
And then once I went ahead and gave them a full recharge,
I'd listen to them probably
an additional combined around 12 hours,
and they still haven't given me any warnings yet on battery.
Now normally Bluedio headphones give you anywhere
from 20 to 30 hours worth of playback time,
depending on the volume and the active noise canceling,
so I have no issues, even with that being the case.
The Bluedio headphones have always had
excellent battery life, so I'm highly confident
you're gonna be able to get some
serious battery life out of these.
Next up, we have the active noise canceling.
Which, as you guys know, I've had some issues with Bluedio
headphones and active noise canceling.
The problem that I've seen on the T4S, and the T5 and T5S,
is when you activate the noise canceling switch,
the base and the mids totally drop out and it just ruins
the sound quality and the experience for me.
As far as the T6 go, they have made an improvement
in this department.
Is it perfect, no.
Is it as good as the Bose, QC 35s,
or the Soundcore Space NCs, no.
The noise canceling itself is good,
it's very deep, you get good noise isolation.
But there is still loss of sound quality.
To be fair to Bluedio, they have made improvements
in this department.
Mostly what you lose when you turn the noise canceling on,
is a bit of the base, but more of the mid range.
So by that, I mean when I was listening to hip hop,
or like trap or EDM, you could still hear the base drops,
you could still hear the base and everything there.
So that kind of caught me off guard, I'm like,
"Man, do they have this figured out?"
But then when I switched to rock, latin music, classical,
things like that, that's when you really, really notice it.
You really notice the fact that that mid range is being
sort of pulled out.
That's kind of sad, I really wish they would have gotten
this problem sort of more sorted out,
but I just wanted to be clear with you guys,
and be fair to Bluedio as well,
it's better than the T4S and the T5s, but it's still not
100% solid.
So hopefully they keep improving it, and hopefully
we'll get a really solid product,
but it's still tough for me to complain, you know.
It's an active noise canceling headphone,
that is under 60 bucks, so you have to
take that for what it is.
As far as the other things
that I'm kind of having a gripe with,
they removed a ton of the buttons
off of the headphones themselves.
So basically, you get a power on, power off sync button.
And you get the switch for the active noise canceling.
Along with the LED light, and the mic.
Aside from that, and the USB type seed port, that's it.
They really cleaned up the outside of these.
I mean, for some people aesthetically that's probably
much better.
For me, I like having the functionality
of having the volume locker.
You know, up and down, and then long press
for skip forward and skip back.
The play/pause button.
I like having those things on my headphones,
so those not being there, I do miss them.
I'm not sure why Bluedio removed those,
but that's just one of those things I wanted to make clear.
I didn't really like the fact that they're gone,
but it is what it is.
Now one of the other biggest gripes that I have,
was the fact that Bluedio did not include the audio cable
that they've included with headphones before.
So specifically, I'm talking about the USB type seed,
the 3.5 mm audio cable.
This cable is crucial to have with these headphones
if you wanna listen to them in wired mode,
or say if you run out of battery,
you have the headphone jack you can plug them in,
keep the party going.
Or maybe the device that you're using doesn't have
Bluetooth function.
So you want to wire them in.
Well now, you have to go out and buy a separate cable,
if you don't already own one.
So I'm sure it must have been some sort of
cost-saving thing, or I don't know exactly
what's going on with Bluedio.
But that's just one of those things I wanna make clear,
I'm not happy about that, I'm okay, I'm covered
because I got the type seed to 3.5 mm cables that came
with my other Bluedio headphones,
but I really hope that they bring back including these.
It's super handy to have,
and it kind of sucks to make people have to go out
and buy a separate cable if they wanna that other function.
So all in all, I'm really happy
and impressed with the Bluedio T6s.
The sound quality is excellent.
I mean these are punching way above their weight class
for a headphone that's under 60 dollars.
We're talking sound quality that's comparable
to much more expensive headphones,
from like Sony, or even Beats.
But for under 60 bucks, so that's really impressive.
So right now they're on sale on AliExpress for 50 bucks.
I'm gonna leave a link to that right down
in the description box below.
Make sure you guys check that out.
Unfortunately, as of the making of this video,
they're still not available on Amazon.com,
but I'm gonna keep an eye on that,
so as soon as they do become available on Amazon,
I'll make sure to update the links below,
in case you guys don't wanna wait a month for them.
So if you're in the market for a good set
of Bluetooth headphones, then by all means,
take a look at the Bluedio T6s.
Take it from your boy El Jefe,
I'm keeping it 100% real with you guys.
Now they're not perfect by any means,
obviously the active noise canceling
still needs some more work,
but as far as just pure sound quality,
comfort, and price goes, man the Bluedio T6s,
these are tough to beat.
So I'm gonna go ahead and wrap up this review right here.
