To sum up, the MicroLab T1 headset is one of the most comfortable I've tried- I wore it for days at a time without feeling the need to take it off. Wireless battery life would often last the ten hours Microlab advertises … if not a bit longer.
After spending many hours wearing the headset, my ears didn't overheat and the clamping pressure was well adjusted to not cause discomfort. For the price it is an extremely comfortable headset to wear – that positive trend continues in to the audio performance.
The sound quality the T1 produces caught us by surprise, especially as Microlab aren't a particularly well known company. Many might dismiss the T1 upon first glance but the audio performance proves that this headset is a diamond in the rough.
The T1 delivered a solid, immersive media experience with bluray discs, games and my music collection. Many headsets in this price sector suffer from weak bass, or inflated ‘booming' bass, however Microlab have managed to hit a decent middle ground that will please a wide audience.
So far I have been pretty positive about the T1 headset but there are some problems. While audio quality and comfort are both great, the plastic finish isn't particularly attractive. Unfortunately, sometimes when adjusting the headset the plastic will begin to creak – this diminishes the otherwise positive experience.
The microphone quality is disappointing. If the microphone is critical for desktop work, then we really find it difficult to recommend the Microlab T1. That said, the headset microphone had no trouble producing acceptable levels of performance on mobile devices such as the iPad.
You can buy the T1 Headset from Amazon or Scan for £49.99 and £47.63 respectively. There are also several colour options available including: Black, White, Blue, Yellow and pink.
Pros:
- Extremely comfortable.
- Surprisingly good audio quality.
- Able to hold a wireless signal up to two rooms away.
- Long lasting battery life.
Cons:
- Microphone could be better.
- Plastic can sometimes creak while adjusting the headset.
KitGuru Says: If you're looking for an inexpensive pair of headphones then the T1 is a solid choice. Microphone performance is disappointing however, especially within a desktop environment.
