Hey everyone.
What is up.
Welcome back to another video.
Today I’m gonna unbox and review the Motorola Moto Pulse Bluetooth Wireless headphones.
This is a pretty cool accessory launched at Motorola’s event alongside the new Moto
G and the new Moto X.
So this packaging and I have to say it looks really nice.
Moto Pulse wireless on-ear headphones.
Powerful speakers for big sound.
Up to 18 hours of playtime and 60 feet of range.
It features a built-in mic for hands-free calling.
It works with pretty much any device that supports Bluetooth.
It could be a computer, iPhone, Android, Windows phone whatever.
And On the back, you get a brief description of all the key features.
So let’s go ahead and open box.
Full disclosure, I’ve opened it already for testing so it’s a not true unboxing.
But you get the headphones itself.
Some manuals, read me first, safe, smart protected, and last but not least a microUSB cable for
charging.
The Pulse hardware mirrors Motorola’s smartphone design in its functional simplicity: a fabric-encased
headband connects twin 40mm drivers that rest atop the ears on very soft cushions.
Each earpad can rotate 90 degrees for easier stowage in a flat bag, and the Pulse masses
just 110g, making it fairly travel-friendly on the whole.
Controls dot the upper surface of the right-side can, with a volume rocker flanked by power
and play/pause/voice command buttons, all of which are easy to locate and press by feel.
The earcups very comfortable for extended periods of use and you can get the perfect
fit with this headphone so you don’t have to worry about it sliding off of your head.
So overall the build quality and hardware is definitely top-notch.
Pairing to compatible devices is achieved via Bluetooth 4.1.
Over the past week, I’ve connected the Pulse to a Moto G 2015, my PC, and the Galaxy S6
Active and they have paired very easily and maintained their connections despite lots
of switching between devices.
Other benefits can be activated by installing the Motorola Connect companion app, available
for devices running Android 4.3 or higher.
You can use this app to check the battery, and see the last known location where you
connected.
Motorola promises a connection range of 60 feet (about 18 meters), and that’s no joke:
I managed to maintain a clear audio connection to my computer even while walking outside.
And being able to keep the Pulse linked simultaneously with a smartphone and a computer is very convenient
if you’re a device juggler.
And overall the sound quality is great, it’s not the obviously not the best thing out there
compared to Bose or Beats but it’s good enough.
But It doesn’t really cancel out noise that well from I’ve noticed.
And also when taking calls using the headphone, the sound is muffled and very clear.
Though I am very satisfied with battery life, I use this for about an hour day for the past
week and I’ve only had to charge it once so that combination of convenience and endurance
–right in line with Motorola’s promise of 18-hour uptime– make the Moto Pulse an
awesome companion on a long trip.
The Moto Pulse is available direct from Motorola in both black and “chalk” (white) for
$59.99.
While there are cheaper Bluetooth headsets out there, I don’t think you’ll find one
that delivers quite the same mix of rich sound, on-ear comfort, and long battery life.
If you’re looking for a solid Bluetooth headset on a budget, the Moto Pulse should
be near the top of your list.
Thank you very much for watching.
Please comment down below to tell me about your thoughts on the Moto Pulse or any other
headphones that you might own.
I would love to hear from you.
Thanks again and take care.
