Cowin HE8D Review

You can charge the headphones off of micro-USB devices like your smartphone or tablet. The charging cable terminates in an USB A connector, but there is an integrated micro-USB tip that you can push out for easy, on-the-go charging.

The active noise cancellation module isn’t likely to get in your way. While most quality active noise cancelling in-ears have large control modules, the HE8D’s is much more compact by comparison so there won’t be a lot of weight pulling down on the earpieces. Also, the module has a magnetic base which clips onto the charging dock. This ensures that there is a proper connection between the module and charger when charging the headphones.

The highs and lows are boosted, so you get detailed highs and powerful, punchy bass, and can result in a fun listening experience. Inside each earpiece is a dynamic driver that handles the mids and lows, along with a balanced armature driver that produces the high frequencies, resulting in clear sound with good instrument separation.
