Betron Retro

Having decided to replace my old Sony On-ear Headphones I started looking around for a pair of new Headphones at a reasonable price and, after having checked up on various makes, I came across the Betron Retro High Definition Over-Ear-Headphones. As Betron was a name I'd never heard of, I did some extensive research into this make online and on YouTube and decided to purchase a pair of Betron Retro's as I Iiked the design and the added appeal of them selling at a price that suited my budget! The fact that the Betron Retro's are a British-Manufactured make made them even more interesting and attractive.They arrived very soon after I had ordered them and I couldn't wait to open the box and try them out. I prefer to use headphones nearly all of the time and - as my listening is mainly of Classical music, Jazz and some Rock music, plus DVDs and CDs played on my Blu-ray player as well as watching programmes via my connected TV - any pair of headphones I use needs to be able to cope with a wide range of audio experiences.The first thing that has to be said is that they are very Bass-heavy. This isn't too much of a problem if you prefer this feature and have a good Bass control on your Hi-fi system and can moderate this. Secondly, I thought that the sound felt very compressed and this was probably because the inner diameter of the ear pads, around 50mms, was quite small and felt quite tight around my ears. So, I ordered some larger ear pads, with an inner diameter of around 60mms, and this has transformed these headphones incredibly. The replacement ear pads I purchased have an external diameter of 110mms, as opposed to the size of the ear pads fitted on to the Betron's being 100mms, and with the larger inner diameter, they provide more ear comfort and create a more spacious sound and more detail. An example of this improvement leapt out at me when listening to an orchestral recording on Vinyl LP - which I've heard many times - of a section with light taps on a Bass Drum that I'd not heard with such clarity before.Naturally, if you want to spend much more for a pair of headphones then the sky's the limit but, if you're looking for a good budget pair, then I can recommend the Betron Retro's as they have improved my listening experience 100%, although I would recommend buying replacement ear pads to enhance your listening experience using these headphones!

Honestly for the price you could not ask for better. Genuinely incredible. Great design. Great price. Great sound and very comfortable

I'd ideally give these headphones a 3.5 out of 5 if possible. I'll explain why below:Design:Firstly, these look great and they seem well made. I'm terms of comfort I'm afraid to say they aren't quite good enough. The earpads are big, thick and comfortable, but weirdly, I can feel a hard plastic thing pressing against my head through the earpads. No idea what it is, but it would become annoying over time. The adjustable headband is great. Materials are of a good quality considering the price of this product.Sound:This is a difficult thing to review on this product, because I'm used to more expensive headphones. I would say for the £16 I paid for them, the sound is pretty good. In fact, I doubt you would find better sound for less than this. But it's not perfect. The bass isn't quite rich enough to be exciting. Mids are decent. Highs get a bit lost unfortunately. That said.....for £16, the sound is pretty impressive.If you fancy something similar to this, I would recommend looking at the AKG K52's. They are only slightly more expensive but are leaps and bounds better in sound quality. The only annoying thing about the AKG's is the cable is pretty long. But I'd say the AKG's are a much better buy.

I recently purchased the Betron Retro Headphones, and I must say, they have exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I unboxed them, I was impressed by their sleek, vintage-inspired design. The combination of modern technology with a nostalgic aesthetic is a perfect blend that stands out in today's market.The sound quality is phenomenal. These headphones deliver a rich, balanced audio experience with crisp highs, clear mids, and deep, satisfying bass. Whether I'm listening to classical music, rock, or podcasts, the clarity and depth of the sound make every listening session enjoyable.Comfort is another area where the Betron Retro Headphones shine. The plush ear cushions and adjustable headband ensure a snug fit without causing discomfort, even during extended use. I can wear them for hours while working or relaxing without any issues.The build quality is robust, giving me confidence that these headphones will last for a long time. The materials feel premium and durable, and the attention to detail in the construction is evident.In terms of value, the Betron Retro Headphones are outstanding. They offer premium features and performance at a very reasonable price point. I also appreciate the included accessories, such as the carrying case and detachable audio cables, which add to the overall convenience and usability.Overall, I highly recommend the Betron Retro Headphones to anyone looking for a blend of style, comfort, and superior sound quality. They are a fantastic choice for both audiophiles and casual listeners alike.
