Acknowledgement:
I want to thank Mixcder for sending me a free sample of Mixcder Qualcomm aptX Low Latency Deep Bass Over-Ear Wireless Headphone HD 601 and giving me a chance to review the headphones. I assure that this is an honest review based on my experience with the headphones past 2 weeks.
General:
Mixcder is a company founded in America. There current product line-up includes headphones, speakers and audio accessories. Company, as per their website (https://mixcder.com/about.html) claim to sell their products in over 200 countries. Mixcder HD601 was made in China.
Features:
· Bluetooth V4.2 support
· Qualcomm apt-X Low Latency support
· NFC wireless support
· 40 mm stereo speaker drivers with two sound modes – Normal and Deep Bass sound.
· Supports both wireless and wired (3.5mm jack) connection
· Built-in Microphone included
· 360 mAh rechargeable battery with 15 hours playtime
· Works with both Apple and Android devices
Mixcder HD601 was packaged in a basic compact cardboard box. Inside the box, you will find a plastic clamshell containing wireless headphones, 3.5mm audio cable, Micro USB charging cable and a User manual. Mixcder HD601 comes with 1 year warranty and for those who register their purchase within 30 days, Mixcder is offering extra 1 year warranty.
Looks and Comfort:
I like simple but elegant looks of Mixcder HD601. It is available only in one colour – black with red lines. Headphone’s right cup has volume, power and 3.5 line-in for wired connection while left cup has micro USB port for charging. Headphones comes with extendable arms that can be extended by 25mm on each side, comfortable padded headband and soft Earmuffs.
What I like most about these headphones is comfort. The headband is padded with soft cushion, Earmuffs are made with very soft material and they provide right clamp over your head and ears. Headphones are light and I have used it for extended period of time without any fatigue or heaviness. Only issue with the headphone design is that it cannot be folded completely like other headphones from Mixcder, I wonder why they did not make it foldable.
I have been using these headphones during my 2 hours daily commute to work for past 2 weeks and I really like the comfort it provides. Construction is sturdy for the price as it took some beating during London bus commutes but nothing happened to the headphones. I think I will stick with these as my commute companion.
Sound Quality:
I have been using Mixcder HD601 for atleast 3-4 hours daily, listening to various genres – Vocal, Instruments, Rock, Audio books, Vernacular popular tracks and normal phone calls. I am overall happy with the sound reproduced by the Mixcder HD601, Mids are clear, highs are decent and bass is not bad. However when you activate Deep Bass setting by double-click of power button, the headphones produce decent amount of bass that some may like including me.
Wireless connectivity:
Connecting Mixcder HD601 to your source using Bluetooth is a breeze. However you need to manually repair them when you are moving from one source to another, say for eg., Laptop to Mobile as they don’t automatically connect.
I used my Oneplus mobile and Windows 10 laptop to connect to the headphones but both of them had no Bluetooth apt-X drivers. Thankfully, I was able to locate apt-X drivers on Dell website and was able to install it. Call it placebo effect, I did find it sound better when connected through apt-X than without it. My sources were Amazon music, YouTube, tracks in mp3 and FLAC loseless formats played from my mobile or laptop.
Overall I am happy with sound quality over Bluetooth at this price point.
Battery life:
Battery life of Mixcder HD601 headphones is excellent, they provided me with enough juice to last for a week. Mixcder advertise that they provide 15 hours of playtime but in my usage they gave around 17 hours of playtime. I would put battery life as one of the strengths of Mixcder HD601
Conclusion:
At the time of this review, Mixcder HD601 was selling at GBP 45.99 on Amazon UK. I think at this price point, the headphones are solid offering from Mixcder. I definitely like the deep bass sound and clear vocal it produces. While it may not replace my top headphones, they are good for daily commute and casual listening.
