Suvil FreeAudio BT Headset Review and Impressions

The Flat & Portable Suvil FreeAudio Bluetooth  Headset

I chanced upon the Suvil FreeAudio BT headset earlier at DataMax. Since I was looking for a decent pair of wireless headset for my Nexus 4. I gave it a shot.

The FreeAudio BT was made of plastic and rubber on the band making lightweight could easily be folded for portability. I was able to just place it in my pocket and move around without the fear of breaking the neckband since it's made entirely of flexible rubber.



Sound quality is sub-par to decent depending on how particular the listener is. But for something that only costs 1,200 pesos, one can't really expect Boss or Sennheiser quality for the acoustics.

The great thing about the these is how easy it is to pair with your phone or tablet. It took me less than 30 seconds to pair it to my Nexus 4. This headset is great when commuting and you want to listen to music but cannot be bothered by wires and since there are side controls you don't have to take out your phone or media player to control whatever you're listening to. I also picked up a habit of just placing it around my neck when walking a busy street, crossing the road or I don't need to use the unit.

When you receive a call or notification from your phone, the music will automatically pause and you'll hear the ringing or notification tone from your headset. Just press the main button on the middle and you can answer the call directly since the unit also includes a mic.
