Blaupunkt Comfort 112 : Review

This is an over-the-ear headphone that comes in two variants-wired (which we reviewed) and wireless. The Comfort 112 features a pair of large aperture 40mm drivers. The size of the drivers as well as the earcups clearly suggests that the Comfort 112 falls under the circumaural class of headsets. Like most headphones, the Comfort 112 has adjustable bands to help fit most head sizes, if not all. For added comfort, extra foam is also placed around the arc. Residing at the left cup is the on/off switch for the noise cancellation, ANC (active noise control) level, and the 3.5mm audio jack. The right cup houses the two AAA batteries for noise cancellation. The Comfort 112 used plastic as its frame that provides the headband with a good flex together with a soft cushion around the earcups wrapped with leather to ensure comfort while in use. The cups have an added feature of rotating on its axis to "flatten" the headphones for easier storage. The adapters and 3.5mm connecting cable are all gold-plated. The bundle includes a travelling case, two AAA batteries (for approximately 20 hours of use), 3.5mm connecting cable, an audio adapter from 3.5 to 2 inch plugs, and a 3.5-to-6.3mm adapter. We found the sound quality to be acceptable, but not great; wouldn't rate these as high fidelity headphones as there is the occasional pop and crackle. The high-frequency hiss cancels out most audible external sound, and once you start playing music the hiss is hard to notice. They're an over-ear design, so sound leakage is minimal, and adjustability of fit good. Comfort 112 comes with a handy carry case, so all the various bits, pieces and wires can be kept to hand.
