INTRODUCTION

   Most of the times when people are out in the market looking for a brand new pair of headphones (regardless of price) the very first models they tend to check are those by popular brand names and although that's not a bad thing if there's something we've learned over the years it's that there are numerous manufacturers out there with excellent track records. Unfortunately, their marketing campaigns are not nearly as efficient as those by larger companies so many times such manufacturers (and their products) go unnoticed by most people (ourselves included sometimes). Noontec is a great example of this and since over the past year many of who have reached out to us and asked our opinion in regards to their Hammo Wireless Professional Monitor Headphones we in turn reached out to them and managed to get one in our office/lab.

   Noontec built its brand in Australia starting in March 2002 and has been dedicated to providing customers high-quality audio and video products ever since. Noontec consistently pursues creating precisely designed, high-tech products that offer customers’ wonderful experiences. In 2005, Noontec launched the word’s first all aluminum 1080p HD media player -- A6, which were sold at more than 40 countries, resulting in amazing sales of over 500,000 sets! In 2010, Noontec launched the first collapsible Hi-Fi headphones called ZORO, which became rapidly popular with its fashionable design in conveniently compact structure and Hi-Fi grade sound, receiving 5-star level acclaim from over 40 respected media outlets! Afterward, Noontec went on to release other headphones, including Hammo, Rio and has received high, widespread praise from customers worldwide. Noontec focuses on product quality and sustainable innovation and strives for perfection. Each product must live up to your expectations, so thank you for your interest.

   The Hammo Wireless model was released by Noontec just after their quite successful Hammo TV model (review here) so both share quite a few parts between them (pretty much identical, minus the headphone stand/base that is) including the same foldable frame (different colors however - black for the TV version and gold for the Wireless version), external earcup controls, Votrik HD500 High Definition 50mm stereo dynamic drivers (frequency response of 5Hz-30KHz with 105dB sensitivity and 32 Ohm impedance), Bluetooth v4.1 connectivity (with support for the aptX low-latency codec) and the same lithium-ion battery pack (once again just like with most wireless headsets and headphones this batter is fixed and can't be replaced - at least not easily) that can provide the headset with up to 50 hours of playback time. The one thing that the Hammo Wireless has that we didn't see with the Hammo TV is NFC (near field communication) and that could come in useful for some people. So, let’s move forward with today’s review and see whether or not the Noontec Hammo Wireless is just as good or even better compared to the Hammo TV model.
