Review: Sudio Regent Headphones

Some few weeks ago we received the Sudio Regent Bluetooth Headphones,  a new addition from the Swedish audio firm.

These headphones have been designed to accompany us wherever we go, and this means that we do not necessarily have to treat them with care. In its construction, Sudio has used a polycarbonate of very good quality that gives them a great lightness (weigh 177g). They have a stylish and sleek appearance. It can be customized via the designer interchangeable caps. They are available in Black or White, giving you some room for creativity together with the caps.

What is on the box

I was very pleased to find that Sudio had included a pair of custom caps with my Headphones. If you navigate through the accessories section,  you will probably find some that fit your style.

Inside the box we will find :

• A 3,5mm Jack cable to use your Sudio in a wired way, saving battery and getting uncompressed audio quality.
• A usual charging cable (Micro USB) that can be spared if you own an Android Phone, as u will probably carry one already with you.
• A warranty card to keep somewhere safe.
• A simple Quick Start guide.
• Our Sudio Regent Headphones 🙂

Ergonomics

In my opinion, the only feature of a headset that rivals its importance with sound quality is ergonomics. Doesn’t matter how good they sound, if they are not comfortable we will end up not using them. Fortunately, these headphones are comfortable. Very comfortable, actually. I’ve had the opportunity to test them thoroughly for almost twenty days, and I think the most accurate thing I can say about their ergonomics is that you end up forgetting that you’re wearing them. And a good part of the merit is the homogeneity with which the diadem distributes the pressure on our head.

The pads also seem very comfortable. They are soft and, like the headband, evenly distribute the pressure. The material that the engineers of Sudio have decided to use in its manufacture is unknown, but it’s a very light component that has the curious ability to adapt very well to the contour of our face to maximize the contact. This property is what makes the distribution of the pressure so uniform.

To act on reproduction and volume all we have to do is touch the incorporated buttons in the enclosure of the headphones, which are easy to access. The gestures are the usual in other devices: A short push for previous/next song, long push for volume.

 

Technology and acoustic design

Sudio engineers have opted for this model with electrodynamic transducers with closed enclosure and supra-aural coupling that incorporate a diaphragm with nylon damping. The choice of this architecture allows the Regent to display a fairly wide frequency response (104 ± 3dB @ 1KHz), and, as we will see later, a high level of detail throughout the frequency spectrum.

The vocation of the Regent to be a true high fidelity component has not caused the Sudio engineers to forget the features that many users expect to find in a headset that will mostly be used with a smartphone. And is that the right helmet incorporates three buttons that, in addition to allowing us to control the reproduction, serve to answer phone calls.

And, in addition, this model can be used with Google Assistant or Siri, which allows us to use the headphones to derive direct requests to the assistant of our smartphone.

A feature that I especially liked about these headphones is that, if for whatever reason, we have problems to establish the wireless link between the device that serves as the source and the Sudio Regent, we can connect them using the cable for stereo sockets with 3.5 mm plug supplied.

Sound Quality

The overall sound quality is very high. In fact, these headphones rival more expensive and wired models, which is causing my perception of the wireless proposals to change.

On the other hand, its response in subjective frequency is very broad. The highs are detailed and, when the quality of the recording accompanies, they do not have any type of roughness. The voices, on the other hand, are warm and have the harmonic complexity that I have only found in more expensive headphones. The bass has punch and it’s well controlled, although, in my opinion, it lacks the level of detail that, curiously, these headphones do when they restore the rest of the audible frequency spectrum. Even so, it’s nothing dramatic at all.

Its overall sound quality is, in my opinion, comparable to the models of both Sony and other brands significantly more expensive and wired.

Its autonomy in real conditions of use with a moderate sound level reaches 28 hours, which is a great mark.
