Choosing a headset always makes us get acquainted with models whose manufacturers we did not know before. This is not surprising, because every year new companies appear on the market that offer good products at affordable prices.
Relatively recently, the company Gembird also became known. Headphones from this manufacturer are not popular, although they are not the worst. To understand what is the problem of this manufacturer, it is worth considering a couple of models.
Company
Gembird has been operating since 1997. Many mistakenly believe that this is a Chinese manufacturer. But the company was founded in the Netherlands. Specialists from various areas of information technology are engaged in the production of products.
The main task of the manufacturer is to become a leader in the market of computer accessories and peripherals. But while this goal is unattainable, because competition in this segment is ruthless.
Gembird plans to develop its own innovative computer products. Many of them received quality awards. So far, the manufacturer has not gained popularity, because in many countries they do not even know about its existence.
The headquarters is in the Netherlands. But in some countries there is an official representation. So, Gembird is in Germany, Spain, Russia and Ukraine, France, Greece.
Diversity
Gembird headphones are not the only products of the company. In addition, the manufacturer is engaged in the production of keyboards and mice, rugs, computer acoustics, components for PCs and other accessories.
By the way, keyboards and mice from Gembird turned out to be more popular and popular than other products. Most likely, this is due to the fact that the company introduced many models of these devices in different price ranges.
Gembird Headphones
On the official website there are a total of 6 headset models. All of them belong to the gaming segment. On third-party sites and in other online stores you can find other models of headphones.
The headset from this manufacturer is considered budget, although some gaming options are not cheap. However, there are a lot of Gembird headphones at an affordable price.
Gembird mhp-bos
This is one of the popular headset manufacturer. It was released back in 2014. Presented by a closed model. It stood out due to the fact that, despite its low cost, it has pronounced bass and overall good sound.
Gembird MHP-BOS headphones were placed in the original packaging. Despite the fact that we have a budget model, they packed it reliably. There is no unnecessary information on the box, and a nice addition was the presence of a transparent window in which the model itself is visible.
It is immediately noticeable that the headphones are made in good faith. They are presented in one color scheme - black and red. In general, the model is quite compact, so some users use it on the street. The headband frame is made of durable plastic. Its part, which comes in contact with the head, is covered in black-red artificial leather. There is also a foam insert.
The ear cushions in the headphones are small and have movable hinged mounts. On the reverse side they are covered with glossy black plastic, which has a red border and a silver center.
Since this is a budget model, it does not have any outstanding technical characteristics. Its cost ranges from 580 to 870 rubles. (from 10 to 15 dollars). There are no additional buttons, levers on the housing or wires. The device is ideal for listening to music and movies, so gamers in the direction of this model is better not to watch.
Since the main problem with budget headphones is the lack of bass, their presence in this model is surprising. Although, of course, there are questions to detail low frequencies. Mid frequencies turned out to be at a normal level, but high frequencies are a little dull. Headphone volume is average, someone may not be enough.
Reviews on Gembird MHP-BOS
Gembird MHP-BOS headphones received positive reviews. Of course, this is largely due to their budget and very good appearance. In addition, they are well assembled, the manufacturer used quality materials. Also turned out to be a good sound.
Some users have blamed soundproofing. Since the type of these headphones is closed, it was assumed that the user will be able to plunge into the sounds as much as possible even on the street. And if in a quiet area you will not hear anything, then on the avenue car signals and crowd noise will definitely make its way through the music in the headphones.
Gamer models
Gembird also has headphones with a microphone. Mostly they relate to a gaming headset. The model Gembird MHS-G30 turned out to be quite good. This is a large headset made in black and red.
The headband is made of metal, which is covered with soft foam and artificial leather. The company logo is on the outside and inside of the ear pads. The microphone is made red.
The range of reproducible frequencies is 20-20 000 Hz. At the same time, the sensitivity of the headphones is about 96 dB. Their resistance is 24 ohms. Such parameters are quite justified at a cost of 800 rubles.
Gembird MHS-G100 - gaming headphones made in black. The ear pads are very large and massive. Definitely fit on any ears. On top of the metal headband on faux leather is the inscription “GMB Gaming”. Technical characteristics of this model does not differ from the previous one.
findings
The reason for the unpopularity of the manufacturer Gembird is associated with many factors. Firstly, there is very fierce competition in the gaming accessories segment. It is difficult for beginners to compete with the leaders of Razer, SteelSeries, etc. Secondly, the company's products are in the budget segment, in which there are always a lot of models. Thirdly, few users know about this manufacturer: in particular, those in whose countries there are Gembird representative offices.
