Verdict

The Energy Sistem Starlit Radio is a lightweight (167g), eco-friendly over-ear headset made from 100% recycled plastic. It features 40mm dynamic drivers with a 20Hz–20kHz frequency range and 32-ohm impedance, delivering versatile audio through Bluetooth 5.3, an integrated FM radio, or a Micro SD MP3 player supporting up to 128GB. The headphones boast a 16-hour battery life via a 400mAh lithium-polymer battery, a foldable design with a padded headband for comfort, and a noise-canceling microphone for clear calls. Main pros include its sustainable GRS-certified construction, multiple playback modes (wireless, wired, and standalone), and a generous 36-month warranty; however, it lacks active noise cancellation (ANC), spatial audio support, and a dedicated travel bag.
