These wonderfully tactile headphones are comprised of premium protein leather and a durable complimentary fabric cord, memory foam headphone-cushions with isolating memory foam that moulds to the shape of your ears and create a good seal. They are 172g, nice and light for long periods of wear, whilst having a clean minimalist look with only one physical button for switching it on and connecting. They are available in Rose Gold, Fluffy Cloud (white), Blue Petroleum and Dark Clown (dark grey/black). The Seattle headphones are compatible with voice assistance (Siri and Google Now), will provide you with 12 hours of playtime on a single 2.5hour charge and the fabric cord can always be plugged in if the battery unexpectedly runs out. For the convenience of travel these headphones are sturdy (TR90) and have a handy, practical folding function that makes them easy to pack.
The sound quality is good enough and what you would expect from this price range, the bass won’t blow you away but it’s a clean sound across the tones, it lacks a little depth and they didn’t go as loud as I would have liked but not enough to hinder your enjoyment. My only major gripe with these headphones is the built-in Soft Touch controls. This swipe technology is meant to keep the clean appearance whilst allowing you to control your music and calls with a fingertip, to achieve this swipe or tap the finger on the right ear cup. I found this feature inconsistent and frustrating, when trying to increase the volume it kept pausing the song instead to the point where I gave up and increased the volume on my phone, I would willingly sacrifice the uncluttered appearance for at least a volume button. The Seattle’s are good all-rounders and if you can get your head around the Soft Touch Controls then you might really enjoy them, but for us that touch sensitive control knocked off a few points of an otherwise decent pair of headphones.
