So as indicated in our disclaimer we purchased the Bluedio A wireless headphone during the Prime Day sale on Amazon. And what a deal it was. The normal price for this headphone is normally $50 CAD and we bought it for $16 CAD, which was a steal.
The box that it came in was very sturdy and quite high quality. It was held shut by magnets which is something you don't really see on such a low-end item.
Above you can find an image of the box. In the bottom right corner on the back is a scratch sticker which hides the headphones authenticity code. You can use this code to check on Bluedio's website to see if this is a counterfeit item. Since we bought it from Amazon we were certain it was real.
Build Quality
The quality is surprisingly good for such a cheap low-end device. The headphone feels solid, but light. Certain parts such as the hinges we are worried about since it is made of plastic. The headband feels good and tight around the head and doesn't feel loose. The headband also can twist which we tried which means it's rather flexible and might be able to be subjected to some abuse.
Audio Quality
The audio quality is acceptable. It certainly isn't as good as other headphones by name brands such as our Sony ones, but for our day-to-day use on the c-train, we didn't really notice the difference. There is, however, a slight hiss from the headphones during silent parts of songs. This, however, isn't noticeable when music is actually playing as it will drown it out.
So overall based on the price we would definitely recommend this headphone. It's cheap and it does exactly what it says it would do. The device pairs up quickly and after using it for a week we haven't had to charge it yet so the battery is phenomenal.
