Zumreed X2 Hybrid Headphones review

Combining headphones and a speaker in one package is a good idea, but do the Zumreed X2 Hybrid Headphones deliver? Read on to find out our thoughts.

We were truly excited to get a pair of the Zumreed X2 Hybrid Headphones, as it’s a concept we’ve always thought would work well. Once we had removed the headphones from their packaging, we had a sharp intake of breath because these headphones are massive.

On the back of a sturdy looking pair of headphones are 2 speakers, both adding a lot of weight and width to the overall size of the product. The sound quality that comes from the headphones is superb, although you can really feel the weight of the headphones after a prolonged period of time.

Using the small control panel that comes with the headphones, you can then switch to speaker mode. This plays the music through the speakers, but the sound quality is a lot more ‘tinny’ than what we’d have liked. For the price, you won’t find a better pair of headphones, but you will certainly find a better pair of speakers.

Overall: 7/10
