These headphones look amazing with their sleek design. It costs under $30, thereby making it affordable for anyone who wants to own a good-looking headphone.
Users have a lot of options with respect to design in this line of headphones. They can choose from animal prints to a simple charcoal color, depending on the preferences o each user. The prints are consistent throughout the headphones. For example, the charcoal colored headphones have a consistent black color with matte finish throughout the headphones.
The overall design is compact and concise as it does not stick out of the head. Some of the headsets even have an urban look that goes well as an accessory with any dress. The finish of these headphones is also neat and smooth throughout. The WeSC headphones series are connected to the ear cup with metal wires to give a semi-retro look to the headphones. On the bottom of the right ear cup is a 3.5 mm jack that gives users the option to plug into another headphone to share music with their friends.
There is not much padding on the head band as the entire headphone is covered with a soft material. Despite this lack of padding, it does not poke on the head at all. The ear cups have good padding though to give users a comfortable feel while wearing it for large periods of time. Though noise isolation is not great, it does stop noise from leaking outside.
Another cool aspect of these low-priced headphones is the ease with which these headphones can be used for travel. The ear cups fold inwards, thereby making it easy for users to carry them. Users will have to buy their own headphone case or leather bag as there are no accessories that come along with these headphones. This lack of accessories is understandable considering the price at which this product is sold in the market.
Sound quality of these headphones is amazing as well. Its 40 mm neodymium drivers give a powerful output that make it a pleasure to listen to all forms of music. There is a particular emphasis on bass, and this makes it perfect for those who like to listen to jazz, hip-hop, electronica and other bass-intense genre.
While the bass is intense, it does not feel overpowering in non-bass tracks. Surprisingly, other genres of music sound good on these headphones too. The only downside of these headphones is that treble has very little presence, so there tends to be a big roll-off at the top end. Though it is not visible in most tracks, this lack of treble can be evident in high-pitched vocal and instrumental tracks.
All in all, a good buy. Wesc Piston headphones offers great value for money in terms of design and audio performance. When users buy this headphone, they get a great value for their money.
