EKSA Star Engine E5000 Pro – Fit & Proper
The EKSA E5000 Pro sits well and firmly on the head. The headband is adjustable and the PU leather means no pressure points. However, it does get a little “sweat” over time. The buttons and volume wheel are located on the outer edge of the earbuds, making it easy to reach. However, I had to keep looking for the buttons because the earpiece has a drop next to the PU leather and then another. The best thing to do here is to use the cable port as a guidepost, and the control buttons start right after that. 😉 With AI Ambient Noise Cancellation, ambient noise is no longer audible. The sound from the microphone is transmitted clearly and without background noise, you can also clearly hear opponents. In general, the sound quality of the headphones is very good. When used in stereo sound, the bass is clearly audible.
EKSA Star Engine E5000 Pro – Conclusion
The EKSA Star Engine E5000 Pro is a “big fish” among headphones. All cables are included, so you can connect the E5000 Pro to many devices.
