Hi all. Today we have a review of Bluedio t2s Turbine wireless headphones. These are the most popular headphones in their niche on Aliexpress. By “my niche” I mean, firstly, wireless, secondly, full-size (not earplugs), and thirdly, priced under $50.

Bluedio t2s Turbine headphones are a new model that should replace the popular Bluedio HT and Bluedio T2. The manufacturer took into account the shortcomings of previous models and even corrected some)) The design has become more reliable, but the idea of ​​​​using a folding mechanism and a metal hinge was correct.

In addition to the T2s version, there is also a T2+. The difference lies in the presence of a slot for an SD card and a built-in radio in the latter. If you don't need these options, then paying $10 extra doesn't make sense. As for the audio characteristics, they are identical.

Packaging and delivery

I bought it on Aliexpress in a company store. Below the review there will be a link to this store. There is not only the best price, but also a 100% guarantee to buy the original. The Chinese do not hesitate to make counterfeits of their own Chinese brands.

The headphones are packaged so well that it is almost impossible to damage them during shipment. And this despite the fact that nothing is impossible for our mail)) Double packaging made of thick cardboard carefully protects the headphones from unnecessary deformation.

The equipment is not rich. There is no storage case or any other goodies. Only two wires and the ears themselves. Well, some more waste paper in Chinese. Instructions, by and large, are not needed at all. Everything is intuitive, and it’s difficult to get confused with three buttons.

Delivery from Aliexpress has been fast lately. But even taking into account the fact that you quickly get used to good things, this time I was simply amazed. To Minsk within 7 days from the date of payment!!! This has never happened before.

Appearance of Bluedio t2s

My first thought when I picked up the Bluedio t2s was that it was light and cute. I twirled it a little in my hands, looked at how the mechanism for adjusting it to the desired head size worked, checked the hinges - everything seemed to be made with high quality, but still some feeling of flimsiness remained. Of course everything is much better than previous models.

I already wrote above, but I’ll repeat it anyway. This version uses metal mechanisms, which means the headphones will last longer than their predecessors. This was truly a weak point in the design.

The ear pads and headband are made of eco-leather. This is what is now commonly called high-quality leatherette. The material is pleasant to the touch, soft, no complaints. On the outside of the headband there is “TURBINE” embossed, and the inside is perforated, probably for better ventilation)) Although nothing sweats here. But it looks stylish.

The rest of the body is made of plastic. Thanks to this, the headphones are very light and practically do not feel on your head.

There are only four color options. You can choose from white, black, red, and now also blue. This color was added not long ago. You already guessed which ones I ordered))

Ease of use and sound

Bluedio t2s headphones fit well on the head. Due to their light weight, they are practically not felt and do not cause discomfort even with prolonged use. The folding mechanism allows you to fit even a large head.

The headband does not compress the head too much. This means that the headphones are intended for home use. They will slide out when running or walking fast. But they don’t tire you out, even if you use them for a long time, and your ears don’t sweat.

The control unit is located on the right earpiece. There are not many buttons and that's good. In just five minutes you get used to using it without taking it off and without thinking about where to point your finger.

Control is carried out using two volume buttons, a power button and a track switching joystick. Aka pause and rewind.

The headphones connect to the smartphone without any problems or dancing. If the battery is dead, you can connect it with a wire, this is not a problem. Although draining the battery is far from easy. The manufacturer is not lying when he writes that the ears work for up to 40 hours. Well, or not very deceiving.

I use my ears every day for several hours and charge them once a week. When the charge drops to critical, a female voice says “Battery low”. According to my calculations, the maximum was about 30 hours, but they haven’t fully sat down yet.

Now, as for the sound. These are certainly not HiFi headphones, not even close. But they have powerful and deep bass. The middle and top are smoother. The overall picture is quite transparent and there is even a semblance of a scene. There is a lack of detail, but this is not surprising, this is not the same class of device.

I would say that unless you are a music lover or a seasoned audiophile, you will like the sound. If you listen to music for a long time, where the bass is initially prominent, then you won’t last long.

The volume reserve is more than decent. At maximum, you can easily replace a portable speaker.

Headphones can be used as a headset. The sound is not bad, and you can be heard and heard))

In general, the headphones turned out just right. Good sound and a stronger body than its predecessors. Excellent autonomy, simple and intuitive controls, comfortable fit and light weight.

The only downside is that the design is a bit flimsy. And even then, this is just my opinion. Other people who asked to listen did not note this and, on the contrary, spoke about the solid appearance and high quality of materials.

Introduction

These headphones drive all reviewers into a stupor. Because that's not possible. Before us is an ultra-budget model for 1900 rubles - Bluedio T2+ Turbine. It looks like a designer piece. But with such a low price tag, you expect a catch everywhere. Maybe the sound will be frankly C-grade? Or will the assembly turn out to be “no good”, with loud creaks and huge gaps between the parts? You have to save on something. No matter how it is! However, conclusions must be drawn at the end of testing. Therefore, for now we will limit ourselves to a brief introduction to our “patient”.

You can imagine the model like this. Bluedio T2+ Turbine - the world's only budget Bluetooth headphones with memory card support. For what? In order to play music without any smartphones or laptops. Simply by inserting the card into the headphones. Completely independent.

Further. These are, in principle, one of the most affordable wireless headphones. Even without taking into account the fact that in terms of sound quality we have a Hi-Fi level solution. It’s just that if you are looking for wireless and at the same time the most inexpensive headphones, then Bluedio T2+ Turbine with their price of 1900 rubles is one of the few worthy options.

Phenomenon? Phenomenon. But there is no magic here. Bluedio is a reputable Chinese manufacturer of Hi-Fi wireless audio equipment. In particular, headphones: the highlight is that Bluedio employs three dozen ex-Beats Electronics engineers. Yes, the same one that produces fashionable headphones “by Dr. Dre”. Dear ones, with luxurious sound. Only Bluedio are seven to ten times cheaper than the famous Beats with similar sound quality and more advanced (Bluedio) functionality. Simply because the price of Bluedio’s “ears” does not include advertising fees from stars like Naomi Campbell and Lil Wayne, who are actively recruited for Beats advertising.

But that still doesn't explain why B luedio T2+ Turbine is 70-100% (twice!) cheaper than competitors in Russia. The point is this: initially, the entire current Bluedio line was developed with the sponsorship of the Chinese search giant Baidu. To understand the caliber, Baidu is worth $66 billion and has 40 thousand employees. In general, a real Chinese Google. And this Chinese Google has its own music service. Continuing the analogy, in China music.baidu.com is like Apple iTunes for the rest of the world. Baidu paid Bluedio for both the development and (partial) production of the new headphones. For what? “Ears” were given free of charge to anyone who purchased more than a hundred songs on music.baidu.com within two months. It is unclear how, but Bluedio managed to get permission from Baidu to freely sell a fresh line of headphones around the world. Under its own brand - Bluedio. But with a price tag - exactly like in China. Everything ingenious is simple!

Sound of Bluedio T2+ Turbine

They sound great - just like Hi-Fi technology should. It’s not for nothing that the treasured four English letters are written directly on the headphone body. Is our Bluedio T2+ Turbine testing was also carried out using a professional sound card E-MU 0404. The audio material used is music in FLAC format to eliminate quality loss in the original signal. The results are impressive. The high detail and elaboration of the sound stage immediately attracts attention. It's like you're sitting right among the musicians. And you can clearly hear where the guitar is playing from, where the drummer is blasting away on the drum kit.

According to the frequency spectrum, the middle and high ranges are best played out. Therefore, if you prefer music with an emphasis on vocals (pop, jazz, partly rock), Bluedio T2+ Turbine will definitely suit your taste. The bass lacks a little detail; it rather merges into one powerful “baaam”. But! As practice shows, this is the sound that the majority of ordinary listeners adore. It is precisely this sound that music lovers affectionately call “bassy” and count it as a definite advantage of headphones.

Does the sound quality deteriorate when transmitting via Bluetooth? Yes, there is some (however very small) decrease in detail. However, it is extremely small. So, however, there are no real reasons for disappointment - only seasoned sound engineers will notice the decrease in quality. If you want lossless audio (no loss of sound quality at all), choose the top model in the Bluedio R+ line (Legend BT) for 3,000 rubles. That is, one and a half times more expensive than the Bluedio T2+ Turbine model under consideration.

Bluedio T2+ Turbine for 1900 rubles acts not only as headphones, but also as a headset. Therefore, you won’t have to take off your headphones every time you make a call from or to your phone. The microphone built into the model is of average quality: in strong winds it is better to cover it with your palm. In any case, if you feel the urge to answer a call while wearing headphones, the interlocutor will be able to understand your speech.

The noise isolation of the headphones is made to a strong five. In a metropolis, the best test is a trip to the subway. Where in old Soviet carriages you can barely hear a person speaking out loud. Bluedio T2+ Turbine provides almost 100% rejection of extraneous noise. It’s great that the headband is designed in such a way that you can easily lift one of the cups. It will come in handy when crossing the road, or not to miss an announcement at the station.

And don’t forget about the comfort of the people around you. You won't hear anyone. But if you set the headphone volume to 80% of the maximum or more, within a radius of five meters the Bluedio T2+ Turbine will act as a portable speaker.

Who doesn't know the manufacturer Beats Electronics? He creates premium equipment that has a sufficient level of quality and functionality. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford headphones from this company.

Many who work with professional equipment know some interesting data. The cost of headphones is 3-5 times less than their market price. The consumer overpays for the brand name, and not just for the quality of the equipment provided. The staff of the company, after it was acquired by the Apple manufacturer, collectively paid off and went to work for another, no less popular company. Bluedio headphones are the topic of this article.

The products described provide quality comparable to Beats. The only difference between them is that Bluedio is much cheaper. Moreover, they received better functionality and a unique design.

Let's talk about the brand

We need to talk about the Bluedio brand. A manufacturer from China is creating wireless technology. It has been working since 2002. Today this company is one of the most popular on the market. Everyone knows that it is cheaper to order products from the Chinese on the official website than to buy them at retail. The fact is that when equipment arrives in Russian stores, its cost increases sharply by almost 100%. This does not happen with Bluedio products. The cost of the model is the same both in Russia and on the official website. In addition, they can often be ordered with free delivery, which pleases every consumer.

A model from China arrives with a full set of components and a Russian version of the instructions. That is why this manufacturer is so popular. To achieve this service, he first signed a contract with Baidu. This allowed him to raise funds to create innovative products, which became successful in a short period of time. After a while, the manufacturer was able to obtain the right to trade outside the Middle Kingdom.

Basic and additional features

Bluedio T2 are wireless headphones that offer excellent functionality. The manufacturer has created many interesting and extremely useful things. They attract potential buyers. What are we talking about?

• Hybrid headphones.
• They can be used by two people.
• The equipment impresses every owner.
• The controls and ergonomics are so good that a person literally cannot part with the headphones.
• Great sound without wires.

What do all these features mean, how to connect Bluedio headphones, how to use them? Read on.

Hybrid headphones

When using wired headphones, the owner is always concerned about the length of the cable; with it it is difficult to go far from the playback source. When buying Bluetooth models, you are constantly interested in how long the charge will last. What if you buy a device that can work both with and without a cable? This is exactly how Bluedio headphones can function. The instructions will help you understand all the nuances. It comes included. If suddenly the battery runs out, you can always use the headphones as wired ones. They function perfectly in such conditions. This combined solution is used in all models of the manufacturer: both the cheapest T2 Plus (2 thousand rubles) and the expensive R+.

The design also includes a microphone. It will help you effortlessly talk on the phone, Skype and other means of communication if your hands are full. The microphone is built into the cable. It also has buttons for adjusting the volume and stopping playback.

Connecting headphones

The headphones are able to work with all known phones from any manufacturer. They improve sound quality and provide greater volume reserve. It is enough to insert the plug of any headphones (even from another developer) into a standard port (3.5 mm) and enjoy the music. Bluedio products easily synchronize tracks. This is how the headphones are connected wirelessly. Thus, we can say that this technique is designed for two. The guy listens to music through one product, which is connected by wire, and the girl uses Bluedio headphones. It's convenient and simple.

Rich equipment

The equipment amazed all consumers. At first, after the appearance of this brand in Russian stores, everyone was surprised. The cost of the device is small, but the equipment clearly indicates the opposite. The headphones, which cost 3 thousand rubles, received a full package of accessories. What exactly does the consumer buy?

• Case (case). It is tough and holds its shape perfectly. Of course, you shouldn’t break it on purpose, but it will easily withstand any accidental fall or blow. The accessory has a special handle that makes it easier to use. Surprisingly, the manufacturer also took care of the presence of a carbine. You can know for sure that the headphones will always be with the owner.
• There are 4 cables. For all of them, the developers have created a special separate case. What are there? A micro cable is available for charging. A special wire with a microphone and keys that facilitate control. A long cable that allows you to move several meters away from the sound source. The last, fourth, wire has a Y-shape. It is an extension cord. The developers have built into it special plugs to receive audio and microphone signals.

This completes the equipment list. As you can see, the manufacturer was clearly not greedy. He responded to all customer requests, completely satisfying them.

Ergonomics

What is important in headphones? Anyone will answer - sound and functionality. But no one takes into account one important fact: few people will use a device that has uncomfortable ergonomics. Most will throw away headphones with minimal comfort. No one likes products that squeeze or make you sweat. What can we say about Bluedio headphones?

Any device from this manufacturer has a flexible head. The bowls also received a movable mount. Their rotation is enough to fit perfectly on any head. In these characteristics, Chinese headphones completely outperform more well-known and expensive devices. The ear pads are as soft as possible, and the arms are adjustable. Their length reserve is 15 cm.

The fit is perfect; the headphones do not put pressure on the head or ears, do not rest and do not create any discomfort. When using them, a person is immersed in the melody as much as possible. They are convenient for doing household chores, playing games and just listening to music.

Design

Of course, design is just as important as the ergonomics discussed above. This question is especially interesting for those who use headphones not only at home, but also on the street or in other public places. All the company's models look great. Let's look at the design using Bluedio A as an example. The headphones are sold in two color options. The most common model is black. On the case you can see large white letters. The second (no less interesting) option is a light model, painted with multi-colored elements. It is worth noting that it does not look flashy or tiring.

All white models look simply great. Near the cups there are painted chrome-plated rims. This solution is in perfect harmony with the remaining body. The headband is as soft as the ear pads. The case is non-marking. The white version, like the black one, is aimed at a young audience.

Sound without wires

On battery when connected wirelessly, Bluedio headphones will last about 25 hours. This characteristic is true, according to consumer reviews. It should be noted that many competitors that are in the same price category (3 thousand rubles) rarely offer functionality for more than 12 hours.

If you use the headphones for about 400 minutes a day, their charge will last for five to six days.

Operating the device is convenient: there are only three buttons. You can find them on the right cup. What are they needed for? The buttons are used for the synchronization process, checking the charge and adjusting the volume. Unfortunately, there are no keys for rewinding melodies.

Let's move on to the main question - “What sound do Bluedio wireless headphones provide?” Closed device. They are ideal for those who do not like to use such headphones due to poor noise insulation. In fact, many competitors produce closed devices that can be used in almost the same way Bluedio performs perfectly. They don't miss a single note.

When choosing any model from the manufacturer, you must listen to the sound quality yourself, since its assessment is a subjective indicator. For example, a person working at a record label needs headphones that deliver natural and honest sound. For the average user, those that slightly “correct” the melody are suitable. Most models are universal and easily reproduce many genres.

The mid to high range of notes has good detail and transparency. The lows are a little lacking, but this problem can be easily corrected with the help of an equalizer. Stereo panorama at the best level.

Benefits of headphones

All offered by Bluedio have a flexible headband. It is difficult to break, and it does not put pressure on the skull and ears. The price is low, although the characteristics are almost identical to models from Beats. These headphones can be used by two people: one person uses their device, the other uses the device being described. The sound quality is excellent. Autonomy is also pleasing. How to connect the device is described above in the article. One of the advantages is the fact that the wire is removable, so the headphones can be used both with and without it. The package includes cables and a case.

Flaws

One of the disadvantages of the models is that there is no built-in player function. This luxury is available only in Bluedio T2 headphones (price 2 thousand rubles) and R++ (price 3300 rubles). The manufacturer has built in a slot for a memory card in these same models.

Conclusion

The article was about Bluedio headphones. The reviews about them are excellent. Consumers like them for their design, good ergonomics, small size and low cost. In Russia they are sold at the same price as in China, there is no markup. An additional advantage is that the model developers are the same people who worked at the famous Beats.

Connecting your device to a sound source couldn't be easier. The wireless method is the easiest. Just add headphones to the list of paired devices and you can already listen to music. The wired method is also simple. You just need to use a plug designed for a standard mini-jack.

Are you tired of getting tangled up in wires? Don't believe that Bluetooth can provide excellent sound quality? After our review of the Bluedio T2 headphones, you will understand that excellent and inexpensive wireless headphones still exist.

First, about the manufacturer. Today, Bluedio is a powerful brand that has become famous in the shortest possible time thanks to the technical capabilities of its products. Modern design, unparalleled sound quality, excellent build quality. All this is about Bluedio.

Brief characteristics:

• Two 57 mm speakers
• Bluetooth version: 4.1
• Sensitivity: 110 dB
• Range: up to 10 meters
• Frequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
• Profile support: A2DP, AVRCP, HSP, HFP

Contents of delivery

If we talk about the completeness of these ears, then everything is quite simple. In the Bluedio branded box, you will find the headphones themselves, a cable for charging them and a 3.5mm Jack wire for connecting them to your devices.

At the bottom of the box you can also find instructions if you need them. As for me, the delivery package is not “excellent”, but it cannot be given a three. There is everything that is needed for the average user.

Appearance

The design of the headphones was developed in a futuristic style. Thanks to the use of high quality materials, the ears do not rattle even when playing powerful bass, but more on that a little later. If you lead an active lifestyle, then the Bluedio T2 design will not leave you indifferent. The earcups can be folded inside. Thus, you get a very mobile and small gadget.

I want to warn you, if you want a device that you can show off to your friends, then these headphones are clearly not your choice. Despite the fact that the design is quite high quality, these headphones don’t even smell like premium. Yes, they are not bad, the plastic is quite practical, the fabric on the headband is of good quality. But whatever one may say, it is plastic and far from leather.

Ease of use

At the time of writing this review, I have been testing the headphones for about a month. Let me make a reservation right away that I always use false ears only at home, since I have Sennheiser earplugs for outdoor use.

The ergonomics are thought out so well that even after using Bluedio T2 for about 3 hours in a row, no discomfort is felt. If I were to find fault, I consider the only drawback of the design to be the height adjustment arms, which are also made of plastic. It’s not the plastic that I criticize even more, it’s the rigidity of the fixed positions. It is enough to hook the headphones on the table with your hand, then you need to adjust the height again. But again, these are just nitpicks.

The right speaker has volume buttons and a device on/off button. To connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth, you need to hold down the power button until the girl tells you in a pleasant voice that the headphones are ready to pair. It is noteworthy that Bluedio T2 has several equalizer presets, which can be changed by simultaneously pressing two volume buttons.

A little below the power button there is a regulator with which you can switch tracks and pause them. The charging connector is also located on the right ear, at the very bottom. There is also a conversational microphone on the right ear pad, and it is of fairly good quality. I used these ears as a headset specifically for the test. They can hear me perfectly, and I can hear my interlocutor even better than if I just talk to him on a smartphone;)

The left ear is devoid of any controls, except for a jack for connecting headphones “via wire”.

Sound quality

I won’t torment you with all sorts of incomprehensible graphs. Let me just say that these headphones are perfect for both listening to music and playing games. The volume is enough for my eyes, almost all the time they work for me at a maximum of 50% volume. And if you also love powerful bass, then feel free to run to the store and buy this model. Although no, there is no need to run anywhere. I’ll tell you below where to buy these headphones at a very competitive price.

Autonomous operating time

Since these are wireless headphones, it’s worth talking about their battery life. Immediately after purchasing them, I became interested to know what the capacity of the built-in battery in these ears is? But all my attempts to find information on this matter were unsuccessful. If you believe the instructions that come with the kit, then in music playback mode the headphones can operate on a single charge for 40 hours. And this is at maximum volume. And as I said above, it’s almost impossible to listen to them at maximum volume. Thus, the battery life can be approximately doubled. The end result is a fantastic result.

Where can I buy?

Now I’ll tell you a little secret... In my hometown, Bluedio T2 headphones have a price tag of around $37. Which, for me, is a bit too much, especially when I know that you can find them cheaper on one Chinese site

And I was not mistaken, I found one very good seller ( Bluedio TOP1) from which this model of headphones can be purchased for only $25, which is $10 cheaper than in my city. In general, I advise you to take a closer look at this store, in addition to the fact that the seller ships everything very quickly and answers your questions very quickly, his prices are also quite low. Also in the store you can purchase almost the entire range of products from Bluedio (headphones, headsets, speakers). The link to these headphones will be at the end of this material.

Conclusion

Bluedio T2 Turbine headphones are an excellent choice for those who are tired of being tangled in wires and still have excellent sound and battery life. These ears fully work out their cost. I am also pleased with the fact that over the wire and via Bluetooth, the sound quality does not change. What devices from other manufacturers in this price range cannot boast of

I guarantee you that after your purchase you will be satisfied. And if you already own T2 headphones, then share your impressions in the comments.
