Detailed Test Results

Design and features:

The HA-FX9BT Gumy Wireless has an integrated microphone and volume, music player function, and call connect/disconnect controls for use with paired Bluetooth devices. This model comes with two pairs of ear pieces in various sizes and a USB charging cable.

Sound quality:

We found the HA-FX9BT Gumy Wireless delivers sound quality that falls in the very good range - it reproduces music and voice very well although it does have some noticeable sonic quirks. The overall sound can be summarized as bassy and bright. Bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) goes deep, but is prominent , boomy, and has exaggerated impact. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is somewhat grainy and etched (a bit more sharply outlined then it should be), and overwhelmed by the bass. The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is fairly extended, but is prominent and smeared (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer sound blurred). While the sound has a good sense of liveliness it is somewhat closed-in (sound-wise it is somewhat obvious that you have something plugging your ears).

Comfort and Fit:
As typical of in-ear models the HA-FX9BT Gumy produces a sense of pressure in the ear canal opening might be uncomfortable for some. They stay in place with no problem, but users with larger ear canal openings may not be able to get a good seal from the larger of the two ear pieces supplied, so they may not be able to hear the best sound quality that this model offers.
