CONCLUSION

   Having tested a very large number of headsets and headphones over this past decade or so means that we're not easy to impress but at least at first the REVOLUTION Wireless Headphones by 66 Audio did exactly that. You see the REVOLUTION doesn’t only score high in terms of build quality and design (the on/off power LED might be a bit too bright at night) but also audio clarity and accuracy. Mids and highs are very crisp and detailed but it’s the deep bass and high volume levels (this is the first headset to ever reach our lab with which we were unable to listen to music at full volume) that really steal the show. Unfortunately having deep and strong bass in a headset tends to “cloud” mids and highs so in some audio tracks that wasn’t a good thing. Overall however we are very pleased with the audio performance of the REVOLUTION wireless headphones just like we were with its battery life although at almost full volume we hardly hit 9 hours of playback time (as expected really since 66 Audio must have reached and surpassed 12 hours at mid-volume). Once again the built-in microphone didn’t live up to our expectations since people on the other end would report that we sounded like we were far away but if you’ve been following our reviews you should know that this happens most of the time (still it’s far from the worse we’ve ever tested).

   Thanks to a 15% discount for our readers from our friends over at 66 Audio (checkout code: NIKKTECH15) you can now get the REVOLUTION Wireless for roughly USD142 instead of the full price of USD166.99. Of course even with that discount the REVOLUTION is not among the cheapest headphones in the market today but after taking into account its build quality, design, battery life, audio clarity and detail, deep bass and quite impressive volume levels it’s not really what we’d call expensive and that’s exactly why we’re giving it our Golden Award.
