CONCLUSION

   Primarily the iSO was used while on the road either in my car or in the subway so it's easy to understand that we did put the noise-cancellation and noise-suppression features to the test as we should. So did they work? Well noise-cancellation worked fine but i can't say that it's the best one we've seen so far especially since both the Voyager Legend by Plantronics and the MOTION by Jabra seem to be doing a better job at it. Of course i have to point out that the differences are not great but especially for professionals who use such devices for work i think this will matter quite a bit (for regular consumers however not so much). What really impressed me was the noise-suppression feature and i say that because when i first used the iSO i was right next to a big fan and so i put them and listened to some tracks by Bon Jovi but it wasn't until i removed them that i actually remembered that there was a fan next to me (due to the design of the exterior and the medium-sized silicone ear tips the earphones are almost air-tight when placed in your ear). The difference was impressive so i have to give a thumbs up to Antec Mobile Products for that. When it comes to audio quality well we all know that Bluetooth has come a long way and it offers almost as good quality as wired solutions but that almost does take away some points. Still the dBS1 earphones offer good volume levels with quite a bit of bass (more than i was expecting actually) along with very good and clear mids/highs. Of course we've seen better wired and wireless headsets in the past but Bluetooth wireless earphones well that's not something we see every day. However not everything's perfect about the iSO and so i do hope that Antec improves on the quality of the cable since it doesn't look like it can endure much (i could however be wrong, time will tell).

   At launch the iSO Noise-Canceling Bluetooth Headphones by Antec Mobile Products (a.m.p) did cost quite a bit but after roughly 10 months in the market this price has dropped quite a bit and so currently you can find them for USD68.78 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 64.95Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). Well not much more to say now is there? The price is right (especially for a brand product), audio quality is very good (very good clarity with good bass levels), battery life is also very good (we never did reach 8 hours of use but we did cross the 6 hours mark with the volume level almost maxed out) and it also looks great what more can one ask for? So for all of the above the iSO Noise-Canceling Bluetooth Headphones by Antec Mobile Products walk away with our Golden Award.
