Third-party reviews

What customers like about Artiste Audio AWM130

  • Large 50mm driver units for potentially more powerful bass and sound output
  • Detachable cable design allows for easy replacement or use of alternative cables
  • Equipped with neodymium magnets which are lighter and more powerful than ferrite alternatives
  • Features a standard 3.5mm male connector for wide compatibility with various devices
  • Includes a travel bag/pouch for safer transportation and storage
  • Lower impedance (24 Ohms) makes it easy to drive at high volumes with less power
  • Includes an in-line control panel for easier operation

What customers don't like about Artiste Audio AWM130

  • Lacks active noise cancellation (ANC) to filter out background noise
  • No passive noise reduction or acoustic seal to prevent sound leakage
  • Wired-only connectivity with no Bluetooth or wireless capabilities
  • Does not feature a noise-canceling microphone for clearer voice calls
  • Cannot be folded into a compact form for enhanced portability
  • Lacks water or sweat resistance, making it less suitable for exercise
  • No built-in rechargeable battery or battery level indicators

Verdict

The Artiste Audio AWM130 is a wired over-ear headset characterized by its powerful 50mm drivers and neodymium magnets, which deliver a high sound pressure level of 110 dB/mW and a frequency response range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Its primary advantages include a low 24-ohm impedance for easy driving by mobile devices, a 1.5-meter detachable cable for increased durability, and the inclusion of a travel bag and in-line control panel for convenience. However, it lacks modern features such as active noise cancellation (ANC), passive noise reduction, a foldable design, or wireless connectivity, making it less versatile for travel compared to newer alternatives.
