Zitat: Thank you Arctic Cooling for sending us the ARCTIC Sound P311s to play with. This was another rough review, spending time talking on the phone, listening to music and movies, and doing something I hate but have to do anyways, run. There were only two things I would really worry about; one would be the material around the earpieces. When running I tend to sweat and I don’t want the headphones to start stinking. When cleaning them off after one run I noticed that it is possible to pull the pad completely off. Bit of a pain to put it back on though. However the pads themselves are easy to clean and sealed all the way around, even the inside. After running in them for over 2 weeks, and just giving them a quick wipe down, I never noticed any odor at all. I guess it’s possible that my ears sweat less than I thought, or the material is not absorbing odor and sweat. The other would be breakage from the opening and closing of the headphones. Like I mentioned earlier, even if they failed to snap open, it wouldn’t affect the performance, and during my time with the P311s I never noticed any extra play creeping in. Enough with worries, the positives dominate any concerns I have. After all these are easily affordable, with the listed price of $37.95, especially considering all the features you get with them. Most comparable headsets I found using a Google search showed prices averaging around $80. I used these with my Motorola Droid, iPod touch and even a Bluetooth enabled laptop, and was surprised at the ease of connectivity. All it takes to enter the P311 into pairing mode is holding down the call button for a few seconds, then your Bluetooth equipped device will be able to pick it up. I found myself switching back and forth frequently with no trouble. As far as range is concerned, Arctic Sound lists it as 20m or about 65.5 feet. Now I don’t have the largest house around, but I was able to put my phone in one corner of the house and walk to the far opposite corner, with several walls in-between devices, and not lose the signal. I was equally impressed by the volume. I could not turn it up all the way without cringing from how loud it was. I will admit that one of my running routes goes with-in 50 yards of a train track, and when the train went by and blew its whistle I couldn’t hear the music. However that happens even when I’m in my car listening to the radio! Otherwise just the train and the traffic noise had no impact on my ability to hear what I had playing. Audio quality is quite good for a Bluetooth pair of portable headphones, I can’t help but be impressed by the P311, they are the most comfortable and useful portable headphones I’ve had. I look forward to using them exclusively for a long time to come.

Zitat: The Arctic Sound P311 Bluetooth headset certainly lives up to the standards set by the rest of the Arctic Sound range. It offers good sound quality, terrific battery life, some nice bonus features and a stylish design that is comfortable enough for extended use; all for an MSRP of only $38. With Bluetooth-enabled portable audio players becoming more and more common and external Bluetooth dongles in a price freefall, this headset is the right product at the right time. We at ASE Labs can easily recommend the Arctic Cooling Arctic Sound P311 Bluetooth Headset.
