THE M10SE

The bundled carrying case is hard on the exterior but surprisingly soft on the interior (the headphones lay flat inside).

Blackbox is using ABS for the exterior of the headphones and spring steel for the interior frame so these are quite durable.

Size-wise the M10 SE is 80mm thick, 174mm tall and 163mm wide with a weight of 180g (as usual we placed them right next to the REVO Wireless by Jabra).

Both earcups are vented (according to Blackbox this is done in order to relieve total audio volume pressure) and have the company logo printed on them (placed behind the grills are the ANR microphones).

Although the headphones can be used without a battery you will need an AAA one like the one bundled to use the active noise cancelling feature. To do so you just need to reveal the battery compartment by rotating the exterior of the right earcup counter clock-wise as seen above.

The 3.5mm port (which is gold plated) is placed at the base of the right earcup.

On the exterior of the right earcup we also see the on/off power switch and LED.

Blackbox has used medium-sized memory-foam padded earpads and although these are quite comfortable i think that slightly larger would be ideal.

The earcups can flip down flat for easier storing (and to place them inside the case).

Left and right markings are placed on the interior right above the earcups.

Just like the earpads the headpad is filled with memory-foam.

As you can see the earcups can tilt quite a bit to increase user comfort.

The headband extends up to 28mm on each side via 10 increments (visible on the interior).

Every single connector and plug is gold plated so kudos to Blackbox for this.
