Phones that will never let you down

Phones that will never let you down

Listen to your favourite music or chat with friends with the new Bluetooth Beoplay E6 in-ear phones from Bang & Olufsen

DESIGNED ESPECIALLY for those who like to listen to their favourite sounds while exercising, Bang & Olufsen’s new in-ear Bluetooth Beoplay E6 headphones come with different types of fit to respond to every type of activity. 
Light and comfortable, the phones boast four pairs of ear fins, four pairs of ear tips in different sizes and one pair of high performance foam tips – so you can choose a specific fit depending on what you’re doing.

The E6 is designed to be light and durable. The housing of each earpiece is made of from textured rubber and polymer designed to resist sweat and moisture as well as wear and tear. A machined aluminium plate mounted on the housing with a laser etched logo gives the phones a sleek look.
The cord is moulded directly into the rubber of earpieces to prevent dirt and sweat from getting inside and damaging the electronics. And the cord is encased in braided textile using the same materials found in sneaker production, making it easy to clean.

The neckband has an in-line three-button anodised aluminium remote on the cord near the left earpiece while the charging connector is on the right side of the neckband. A special snap-on charging cable is provided. The E6 has a battery life of five hours per charge so you must carry along the charging cable if you listen for hours of music on the go. The E6 is designed to be recharged while being used. 
The remote control is easy to operate. You press and hold the centre button for five seconds to initiate Bluetooth pairing. The E6 remembers previously connected devices so when turned on, the phones will attempt to reconnect to previously connected devices.
The E6 is designed to be turned off easily too by using the magnetic ends on the ear buds. You simply connect the two magnetic ends and the E6 will turn off. It also automatically turns off when inactive for 15 minutes to save the battery.
The remote can be used for music and calls as well as activating the personal digital assistant of your smart phone to give voice commands. Just long press the centre button until a sound is heard to activate the voice recognition.

During an incoming call, you can short press the centre button to accept the call or long press to reject it. During a call, you can long press to terminate the call or double press to transfer the call from E6 to be continued on your smartphone.
While playing music, you press the centre button once to pause or resume the play, twice to skip to the next track and three times to return to the previous track.
The two other buttons are for increasing and reducing volume.
Best of all, the sound quality of E6 can be further tweaked with Beoplay App. You can use the app to choose one of the preset profiles, such as working out, commuting or relaxing.
You can also choose to tweak the tonality by using the intuitive ToneTouch interface. You drag the white dot from the centre of the interface to the four corners, labelled as Warm, Excite, Relaxed and Bright while playing your music to experience different tones. You can also pinch with two fingers to increase the spaciousness of the sound.
The app is very useful as it also reports the battery level of E6.

During the test, I enjoyed using the E6 to listen to rock music from Joox app for hours on end. I was particularly impressed with the powerful and solid bass coming through as well as with clarity of the mids and highs. The solid bass was really noticeable while listening to Metallica and AC/DC,
