When one
talks about premium headphones, Logitech isn't the first name that comes to mind, That said, the UE9000impressed us with
its build quality and premium finish. These are full-size, noise cancelling,
closed-type of headphones and sport a metal headband. And yes, it can also be
used to make calls and supports Bluetooth.
The UE9000 comes in its own hard shell case, along with anApple-compatible removable cable, a 6.3-mm adapter, USB charging cable and a buffing cloth for all the metal! While not foldable, the ear caps on the UE9000 can be rotated at right angles to snugly fit into the case.
The cable plugs into the right ear cup, on which are mounted the volume and play/pause buttons, conveniently at the back. Logitech has also crammed the microUSB port and the Bluetooth/noise-cancelling switch and indicator LEDs on this ear cup. The left ear cup features just a "talk through" button, in case you want to temporarily switch off noise cancellation and hear ambient sound such as, say, airport announcements.
The sound was warm with a slight tilt towards bass. While the bass is smooth, the transition from bass to mids is somewhat sketchy. The mid range, while not as bright as bass, seemed just right to reproduce natural vocals. The smooth transition from mid to treble ensures vocals and strings stay in sync. But there seemed a bit of added emphasis on mid-treble, something connoisseurs of classical music may find jarring.
The UE9000's noise cancellation mode switches on automatically with Bluetooth, using which pairing with an iPad was a dream. We also paired it with an Android headset to make calls in particularly noisy environments. If you can live with the fact that everyone around you think you are a weirdo talking to myself, the UE9000 makes satisfactory calls.
