It is clear from a glance that the Arctic P614 BT has been designed to compete in the premium end of the market.  The aesthetic design has a number of nice touches, including wire-frame hinges which attach the earcups to the headphone on either side.

There are also metallic finish wires connecting the earcups to the headband on either side, which are required thanks to the extremely thin nature of the wire-frame hinges.

In terms of build quality, the P614 BT does not disappoint.  All of the materials used in the construction of the headphones feel very high-quality and the overall finish is distinctly premium.  Build quality has always been the main drawback of the Arctic headphones that we have reviewed in the past, so we are happy to see that they have rectified the situation with this model.

Despite the use of metal in the construction of the P614 BT, Arctic has managed to keep weight down to a minimum.  The headphones do not feel any heavier than a regular set of headphones which would not feature a lithium-ion battery inside.

Although Arctic include a carrying case with the P614 BT, the headphones do not fold up like other models in their range.  This makes the headphones more prone to damage during transportation.  Disappointingly, the included carrying case is very flimsy and is unlikely to prevent any damage more substantial than light scratches.

All of the multimedia control buttons are located on the left earcup. On the front edge of the earcup we find the forward and back buttons and, on the back edge, we find the volume rocker.  This rocker also acts as a multi-function button, which activates when you push the rocker inwards.

In between the buttons we find the micro-USB connector which we must use to charge the headphones.  There is a tiny microphone next to this connector which allows you to use these headphones to make calls with your smartph0ne. The P614 BT boasts a sizable 850 mAh battery too, which Arctic claim is good for up to 30 hours of battery life.
