CONCLUSION
We already mentioned numerous times in this review that the exterior of the Bluetooth Stereo Headset Pro is made out of hard plastic and unfortunately that's a small drawback since the feeling and design of this model leaves much to be desired (we also noticed some scratches when rotating the earcups). The right control buttons with the two pieces of aluminum with the Sandberg logo on them look very nice but still for some reason no one here was impressed in terms of design. That's however where the drawbacks end since in terms of quality the aluminum frames is very durable while in terms of audio quality you can expect very good Bass with equally good mids and highs. Of course when used right next to the AKG K845BT the difference in clarity and soundstage is easily noticed (as is the difference in build quality) but we never expected something else to begin with. The headset is also quite comfortable although for people with large ears the medium sized earpads may not be the best so do take this into consideration. Last but not least even after 6 full recharge cycles the battery never exceeded the 9 hours mark no matter the volume level used but i guess that even 9 hours is more than what any of us would ever use a headset for continuously. As for the microphone nothing new here, average performance on par with most similar wireless headsets but you don't really get a wireless headset to answer calls all the time right?
When testing products like the Bluetooth Stereo Headset Pro by Sandberg it all comes down to price and with a current one set at 20Euros inside the EU (offer currently by Amazon.co.uk) there's really nothing to hold us back from recommending it to all of you. Unfortunately once again Sandberg only sells their product inside the EU something which we hope will change sometime in the near future. That being said the Bluetooth Stereo Headset Pro is nowhere close to being the best wireless headset out in the market but it features surprisingly good audio performance with earcup controls and you just can't get those for such a low price which is why it grabs our Golden Award.
