Selecting headphones is not easy. But if you decide on the manufacturer, it will be much easier to do. For example, Defender headphones can be easily classified by purpose. Therefore, the buyer will be able to find a model with a microphone and without it. The manufacturer also presents headphones for games or music. It remains only to determine the budget for the purchase.
Company
Many have heard about Defender headphones, but not everyone knows that this is a Russian brand. The manufacturer is engaged in the production of not only peripheral devices, but also computer accessories.
The company has been operating for almost 30 years. The brand was founded in 1990. Initially, production was aimed at creating protective screens for displays. They were useful because the computer radiation of old monitors adversely affected users.
That is why the company got such a name (Defender is translated from English as “defender”). After a couple of years of its existence, the manufacturer decided to increase the range of products.
Now the company is known not only for Defender headphones, but also for keyboards, mice, power strips, speakers, game gamepads, joysticks, etc. There are also many accessories for caring for devices: cleaning products, coasters, cases and bags.
The choice
Headphones Defender, as a product from any other manufacturer, is not easy to choose. It is difficult to imagine any algorithm that would help determine one model or another.
Nevertheless, there are some parameters that you still have to pay attention to:
- device cost;
- the presence or absence of additional elements;
- appearance;
- specifications.
Naturally, almost every buyer first determines the purchase budget. It is believed that a more or less high-quality headset is in the middle price segment - from $ 60.
If we are talking about simple headphones, then they can cost a little less. If we are talking about a gaming headset, then its price can exceed $ 100.
A microphone can become additional elements: not everyone needs this part. Also, the presence of special connectors or a control panel can be attributed to this parameter. On the headphones, special levers and buttons can be located.
Appearance is a subjective matter. Here, the buyer pays attention to the materials, the shape of the ear pads, the strength of the cable and various decorative elements. For some, color is important, and for others, backlighting is important.
Simplicity in everything
During its existence, the company has released a large number of models of headphones with a microphone. Defender acquire even a few years after the release of a particular model.
For example, the model Defender Accord HN-047 appeared on the market about 4 years ago. Nevertheless, it is still popular and sold in stores. Headphones turned out to be very simple, inexpensive, but of high quality.
Since this is a budget option, the company did not bother much about the box. Headphones placed in a transparent plastic blister. On the one hand, this is a good solution, since you can see the model immediately in the window. On the other hand, few sellers agree to unpack the blister in order to let the customer try on the headphones.
The packaging briefly describes the main characteristics of the headset. It is immediately indicated that the model can be used not only in PCs, but also in smartphones.
The headphone design with microphone Defender Accord HN-047 is quite controversial. To some, it may seem successful due to strong materials and large sizes. Someone, on the contrary, will abandon the model because of its non-assembled design.
The headset uses glossy plastic. The headband is reinforced with a metal hoop. In addition to the popular red variation, there are universal ones: white and black.
Reviews for Defender Accord HN-047
This model has become popular due to its simplicity and low cost. Many liked not only the design and construction, but also the most important thing in the headphones - the sound quality. The sound is soft and clear. Despite its budget, the headset showed itself well when playing music with a high volume level. Even the bass was audible, although they are not as high-quality as in expensive models.
But the high frequencies were not so good. Music lovers especially suffered from them. Users noted that despite this, they did not notice any third-party annoying sounds.
Freedom from wires
The company has quite a few wireless headphones. Defender HN-B701 - one of the most popular models. It appeared 5 years ago, but still remains in demand for many reasons.
Of course, not all users still prefer a wireless headset. Someone considers it poor-quality, someone - short-lived. But anyway, it is very convenient to use.
Defender HN-B701 is structurally similar to the previous model. Differences can be seen in the narrower headband, matte plastic and additional buttons. The model is supplied in a celluloid blister. There is nothing remarkable in it, but unlike the Defender Accord HN-047 packaging, this one can not only be considered, but also revealed.
The metal headband is tight and easy to adjust. On the back of the ear pads there are control buttons: turning on, adjusting the volume and turning the tracks. The ear pads themselves are very compact, so they may not be suitable for everyone. It is better to measure the headphones in the store in advance.
Reviews for Defender HN-B701
These Defender wireless headphones turned out to be a very successful model. They are often compared to a similar Defender Freemotion HN-B601 headset. The second model was released earlier and it is somewhat simpler both in design and sound.
The connection on the HN-B701 is simple. The connection is stable. Of course, sound flaws can be found, as this is a mid-range wireless headset.
And yet, some terrible flaws in this model can not be found. She has a sufficient volume level, good signal reception, simple and correct control.
Game model
A headset for gamers is in demand. Of course, this niche has long had its own leaders, but money is not always enough for their products. Therefore, Defender gaming headphones are the best choice for those who want to save money.
The cost of models of a gaming headset may not exceed 500 rubles, which many believe little. But the way it is. One of the most popular gaming models is the Defender Warhead HN-G180 headphones.
Since this is a specialized headset, it is packed in a company box with the already familiar graphic design. By the way, all game products from this manufacturer are placed in a similar package. Therefore, it seems already familiar.
On the back side, as always, the main advantages and technical characteristics of the model are painted.
Many liked the design of the headphones. They are very large and bulky. They sit on the head heavily, but reliably. Nevertheless, as the reviews indicate, the gamer does not get tired of them even after several hours of virtual battles.
The headphones are made of plastic, and, as many were able to notice, the quality is mediocre. Slots and burrs are visible in some places. The ear pads are very large, so everyone will like them. But the leatherette from which they are made, eventually bursts and comes off.
There should not be any problems with how to connect the Defender Warhead HN-G180 headphones. But just in case, there is an instruction in the box. The microphone here is modular, connected via a 3.5 mini-jack connector. Many users liked the fact that the microphone boom is flexible, not plastic. The latter option is very unreliable, especially in the hands of impressionable gamers.
There is a sound card with USB interface in the box. Firstly, even if you do not pursue super-sound, the USB-connector will definitely save you a connection place, which is not enough on a laptop. Secondly, such an addition really helps to improve the sound, albeit slightly.
Defender Warhead HN-G180 reviews
This model has been very successful for gamers. Some users were pleased that the box had a manual for Defender headphones, because they could not figure out the connection. I liked the presence of a long wire, a flexible microphone, a closed type of ear pads and acceptable sound quality.
Negative reviews affected the build quality, lack of functional software and dimensions.
findings
The company produces many headphones that do not always belong to any particular group. For example, the aforementioned wireless model Defender Freemotion HN-B601 also applies to stereo headphones.
Defender is a company that focuses on quality and price. Therefore, she has so many successful models with an ideal ratio of these two parameters. Since this is a Russian brand, it does not have many fans abroad, and the main target audience is in the CIS region. Nevertheless, the company is developing and gaining the attention of an increasing number of customers.
