Sound Quality/Usage

My ears are different to yours. As is the next person. That’s why it was good to see August had supplied different ear buds and 4 different size stabilisers. Whilst the in-ears look big, they are so comfortable and only 15g in weight.

Call quality was ok and playing music provided an enjoyable listen.

For the music test, I listened to several different genres over hours and hours. Below are my findings from a selection of 5 tracks.

“The Sound of Yo-Yo-Ma, The Score – Oh My Love, Ellie Goulding – On My Mind, The Martian – Movie – Emergency Land, Cassandra Wilson – Come On in my Kitchen”.

Across the music spectrum everything was reasonable and not over played. However, I did notice a slight background hiss which was more noticeable in quieter tracks and classical music.

Conclusion

Just shows how far technology is moving forward. In-Ear Bluetooth headphones for £27.95, and currently on offer at Amazon too. This price 2-3 years ago would not have been possible versus the quality. Not only that the August EP610 sound reasonable and are comfortable. Recommended.

Great review. I’m a real fan of Bluetooth earphones.. At last we can do away with tangling wires and cords. The battery standby time looks amazing and with a quick charge to keep than topped up, what’s not to like here.

Having used the EP650 Bluetooth headset and SE50 speakers, I’m quite impressed by the quality offered by August International products considering their price. Not a fan of wired type Bluetooth headphones, but after reading your review I wouldn’t mind giving it a try.
