Packaging and Design

Lenovo Air supplied in a rectangular box of black color. Inside on a paper substrate is a blue box with the headphones themselves. Under it, we found a set of replacement ear cushions in different sizes, charging cable and a manual in English and Chinese.

Storage box earphone has a hexagonal shape. For their extraction should pulling one of the ends, after which the interior of the gently arrive on skids. The outer body and the lid is quite attracted to each other with the help of magnets, which prevents accidental opening of the box.

Headphones are located inside special recesses. They are also attached with magnets and therefore does not fall out, even if you turn the open case upside down and shake. In each cell, one can see two golden contacts that serve to recharge the headphones from the built-in battery.

Main functions

To enable Lenovo Air simply remove them from the box. Headphones themselves will find the device with which you have previously used them, and connect to it. If any familiar gadget for 10 seconds in a radius of availability is not detected, Lenovo Air automatically enter the pairing mode.

In this case, you will have to open the Bluetooth setting of the smartphone, tablet or laptop, and set up a connection in the usual way. When placing the module back into the case, they are automatically turned off.

The headphones have a very small size, and their weight is only 4 grams. Due to these circumstances, as well as thought-oval shape, Lenovo Air very comfortably in your ear. Within minutes, you can forget about them. Not the least role in this is also played by the complete lack of wires.

Despite its small size, the manufacturer has provided an opportunity to convenient playback control. On the outer side of each earphone has a button. A single press on any of her ear suspend or re-starts playback.

If you hold down the button on the right side, the volume increases, the left - to decrease. Double click on the right headphone will switch to the next track, the same action on the opposite side of the previous launch.

Lenovo Air is protected against external influences by the standard IPX5. This means that the headphones are not afraid of water splashes and drops of sweat, that is, may well be used during intense athletic training. However, in the pool to swim with them is impossible, unfortunately.

Built-in rechargeable battery allows you to count about 3 hours of music playback. But in boxing there is an extra battery at 400 mAh, which recharges the headphones during downtime.

Thus, we can obtain up to 10 hours of run time, albeit with several breaks for recharging. In our view, this mode is ideal for training, travel in public transport and any other activities, the duration of which is rarely more than a few hours.

Sound quality

The first thing you want to draw your attention, - Lenovo Air provide excellent sound insulation. This is the most favorable impact on the perception of the musical material, as the presence of interference from the outside world distracting and interferes feel the beauty of music.

However, this fact can play a negative role, so we do not recommend using these headphones in the street or any other potentially dangerous situations.

The technical characteristics of Lenovo Air codec name used for the transmission of audio, not specified. However, when you connect your smartphone to the test Pocophone F1 used SBC codec that a few upsets.

Nevertheless, the sound seemed to us quite pleasant, evenly saturated low and high frequencies. The scene has a good depth and accurate positioning of instruments. We suspect that it is not the last role played by good insulation against external noise, about which we talked a little bit higher.

results

Lenovo Air Headphones receive from us an excellent assessment of the reasonableness of the design and use of comfort. The complete absence of wiring, light weight and tiny size make it seem that the music sounds right in your head without any additional devices. In many situations, this construction is much easier to wire their competitors.

The sound quality is, in general, we also liked it, although the highest rating it nedotyagivaet. However, these headphones are most likely to be used outdoors, in gyms or noisy Coworking where listen purposefully in the subtle nuances of the sound is neither possible nor needed. And for audiogurmanov produced very different models, the price of which is much higher than Lenovo Air.

At the time of this writing, the cost of the headphones Lenovo Air is 3739 rubles.
