Third-party reviews

What customers like about Coby Cv 790

  • Equipped with a 50mm driver unit for potentially powerful sound
  • High sound pressure level of 115 dB/mW providing high volume capability
  • Foldable design makes them convenient for travel and storage
  • Features a detachable and tangle-free cable to prevent breakage
  • Includes a neodymium magnet for better bass and clear high notes
  • Generally rated well for value for money and build quality in initial user ratings

What customers don't like about Coby Cv 790

  • Heavier than many competitors, weighing approximately 453.5g
  • Lacks active noise cancellation (ANC) and passive noise reduction
  • Does not include a travel bag or pouch for the foldable unit
  • No built-in or in-line control panel for managing audio directly
  • Higher impedance (40 Ohms) compared to some other budget models, which may require more power for optimal volume
  • Missing modern features like a battery level indicator or noise-canceling microphone

Verdict

The Coby CV-790 is a wired, over-ear studio monitor headphone designed for professional-quality audio monitoring. It features large 50mm neodymium dynamic drivers that deliver a wide frequency range of 20 Hz to 22,000 Hz, with a high sound pressure level of 115 dB/mW and an impedance of 40 Ohms. The design emphasizes versatility and comfort with a foldable, swivel earpiece mechanism, full-closed type soft cushioned ear cups for sound isolation, and a long 2.13-meter single-sided detachable cable that includes both 3.5mm and 6.3mm gold-plated stereo plugs. Main pros include its powerful bass reflex system, tangle-free cord, and highly portable collapsible structure. However, notable cons include its relatively heavy weight of approximately 453.5 grams and a lack of modern features like active noise cancellation or an integrated microphone for calls.
