Verdict

The itel N82 (IEB-82) is an over-ear wireless headset featuring 40mm dynamic drivers designed to deliver high-fidelity stereo sound with deep bass. It supports multiple connectivity modes, including Bluetooth 5.1, a 3.5mm AUX input for wired use via its detachable cable, and a built-in microSD card slot for standalone playback. Key pros include a foldable, ergonomic design with PU earpads for portability and comfort, a rechargeable 300mAh battery providing up to 8 hours of playback, and integrated controls for calls and music management. However, potential drawbacks include a relatively short battery life compared to modern competitors, the use of an older Micro-USB charging port, and a lack of active noise cancellation (ANC).
