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.

Thanks for another great review Gavin. These look a lot better than the ones I am using now and if I am not lucky in the draw I may ask Santa to bring some.

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.
