I really enjoy the freedom that Bluetooth allows with headphones. And I love Bluetooth.

Getting up in the morning, and listening to TV around the house, playing music from iPods. It can also change your listening habits since you don’t need to sit in your allocated area with the amp attached by a wire to your head all the time. It has the effect of making me a lot more ‘experimental’ with what I listen to since it’s so accessible without the constraints of wired.

So much fun to enjoy the Bluetooth, I am going to illustrate what’s in my mind and share with you all of them.

With wireless systems, sound will not be the same as wired headphones, but sometimes, you just want something convenient to listen to. A bonus is if the headphone sounds good as far as Bluetooth allows.

The Ausdom M05 arrived in a very unassuming box, Smaller than I thought since I’ve seen the pictures.  It uses Bluetooth v4.0 which saves on power, the relatively high technology for Bluetooth Headphone.

It has four Bluetooth profiles as well as apt-x. Yes, it’s apt-x. It’s a step in the right direction but transmitting devices have to catch up. It basically sends data in a less compressed format which has two benefits. First of all, it minimizes latency, which is very important for TVs since there is less converting going on. Secondly, it can improve the quality of sound because again, there’s less converting going on both of these things depend on one thing. The device sending the signal MUST be apt-x as well. Many don’t realize this and think that apt-x doesn’t do anything as a result. Well, it doesn’t if it’s not switched on at both ends!!

Here we see the inside of the BOX. Amazing!!!

Wireless range is the usual 10 meters direct line of site and the M05 basically lines up with other Bluetooth sets in this respect. But I am quite surprised at the real distance which is nearly 20 meters, when I am walking around the garden. Standby time is a staggering 250 hours with 20 hours music playback time. That’s the benefit of Bluetooth 4.0.

It connects via a supplied wire connection and the good thing is that it doesn’t need to be switched on this way. It works passively. The connection is at the back of the left earcup.

Connection is dead easy and logical. Next time you switch on, it connects with the last connected device without pairing. It even talks to you in the earcup!!

It’s a good looker. Quite unassuming in appearance. The surfaces are rubberized and it has good Pleather headband padding and earpads. It has a ‘faux’ graphite type of look and the backs of the cups are slightly padded. Actually, this protects it perhaps from weather and also knocks.

The sound of this headphone is very good. With Bluetooth, I’ve come to expect lower standards than this and I was quite surprised at how balanced the M05 sounds. It is mellow, with no shriek in the treble, but is also actually quite extended up there. So you get good cymbal splashes and crisp consonants on speech. There is a slight roll off up there but really not severe.

Mids are really good. They sound pretty even to me and I’d say some of the best sounding mids I’ve heard on a Bluetooth headphone. This makes it sound more ‘natural’ than most. This is where most music ‘sits’ and gives the headphone presence. It is a warmish comfortable sound and my guess is that the mids are excellent on the M05, producing an effortless sound.

Bass is mellow and hits nicely. It’s mostly upper bass and I feel that lower bass rolls away as many Bluetooth headphones do. There is no big mid bass hump in my opinion. So from upper bass to lower treble, this headphone seems very balanced to me.

Packaging and content

The packaging is a simple black box with the mapped headphones. On the back are the most important information.

Accessories include a storage bag, a quick start guide (in German), a USB to micro-USB for charging and a 3.5mm jack cable. Which means that this headset also supports wired audio playback, which is very rare to see in headphones in this price range.

Material and Design

The AUSDOM M05  act really high quality and are well crafted. Especially the bracket is very robust but still flexible. The bracket on the sides is made ​​of plastic, which is slightly roughened. Thus, it is not only high quality but also really feels like that. Like us itself very well built, and feels very good either when wearing it or just holding it, or left around the neck.

The bracket on the top side has a carbon-look but is made of soft foam as well as the inside of the strap. The transitions are all handled properly, here we have nothing to complain about. The earpieces on the sides are also provided with a soft carbon coating.

Here is a short demonstration of how flexible the headphones really are.

Comfort

The padded earcups is very comfortable to wear. According AUSDOM supposed to be a kind of artificial protein leather, whatever that is. The bracket can be pulled out sufficiently so that should really find the headphones on each head a proper fit. A proper fit is very important for longer sessions when one is working on a computer or out on a run.

The headphones have exercise on a very good fit without much pressure on the ears. The soft reference of the ear cups feels fluffy and comfortable.

The ear is completely covered, thus ensuring a good shielding of ambient noise.

Function Keys

On the left side you will find the microphone behind a lattice, the on / power button and the volume loud and soft key. In addition then still beside the 3.5mm jack input.

On the right side then the microUSB input for charging, the Pause / Play and skip track buttons.

The coupling takes place via Bluetooth simplistic about the hold the Power button. A female voice in English has a friendly then out.Otherwise, all the keys worked perfectly in our tests and had a good pressure point.

Microphone

The M05 has additionally an integrated microphone. The supports all devices that can be connected via Bluetooth. But rather below average but to use it, the quality of the microphone to call quite suitable. But it puts more emphasis on good mic for long Skype sessions etc. one should seek something else prefer.

The sound

But as always, the most important thing – How is the sound and they are good what?

The sound of the M05 AUSDOM we would rather describe as average.Overall, they are very bassy, ​​where unfortunately the mids and highs to go a bit lost. Especially because of the missing middle is something missing the dynamism but for people who love good bass, you may appropriately. The rest would then have been a neat equalizer countermeasures. You can not use the example in wide Xiaomi Headphones keep up but the games in a different league and are also more expensive. Overall, however, probably better than the Bluedio Turbine headphones but slightly worse than the cheaper Leme B20.
