The band on the inside is also stainless steel letting you adjust the headset for a better fit. On the inside are four stainless steel pieces: two holding down the leatherette cushion and the other two labeled “L” and “R” for left and right of the headset. At the bottom of the right-side is the Micro USB port letting you charge the headset for wireless use. The power button is exactly the same but I was able to locate that more easily than the volume rocker. At times I wanted to turn the volume up/down or long press up/down to change the song, and I would end up hitting the wrong button. The button placement is nice, but looking for them blindly is hard because of the way the buttons blend in with the headset. The right side has the power on/off button facing the front while the volume up (+) and volume down (-) are on the back. Power on/off/pair to devicesĪs for buttons and ports, the left side is button-free but does have the 3.5mm port letting you use the headset with a wired connection. By the looks of the grill, it may seem as if it’s an open ear design, but unfortunately, that’s not the case here. Continuing down is the outer decorative grill design piece with Tribit’s logo dead center.
Traveling down each side of the headset, you’ll reach a slit that lets the headset fold inward for easy carrying. Starting off with the band, it has a rubber/plastic feel to it while the underside has a nice and soft leatherette cushioning giving you as much comfort as possible. This feature is different and could be looked into being added to some big-name companies. The kicker with these guys is they fold inward just before the earpieces, unlike most other headphones.
When I first saw the Tribit XFree Tune wireless over the ear headphones, it was at CES and Justin and I got to listen to them and see how they sounded.
