SMS Audio Sync by 50 wireless headphones

50 Cent's wireless headphones deliver long battery life and big sound, but they're not the best overall value.

Slick sturdy design; Excellent battery life; Sync four headphones to single audio source

No active noise cancellation; Expensive; Can't use all the buttons in wireless mode

Click to EnlargeThe $399 SMS Audio Sync by 50 wireless headphones draws a lot of inspiration from their namesake, 50 Cent. They're big and flashy with a healthy dose of swagger and can put on a show. Beneath the shiny veneer, though, lies a pair of...

SMS Audio Sync by 50 wireless headphones

Ah, celebrity-endorsed headphones -- whether it's Beats by Dre or Soul by Ludacris, you've always gotta wonder whether their actual sound-reproduction chops will match up with the steep price tags and fashion-focused designs. Oftentimes, shocker of...

Wide soundstage, good clarity ; Lightweight fit ; Dependable wireless connection

Toss-up functionality ; Poor noise-isolation ; Middling bass-boost performance

SMS Audio's Sync by 50 headphones are an intriguing wired / wireless hybrid, but they aren't worth the price as-is. Here's hoping for gen two.

SMS Audio SYNC By 50

Not to be left in the dust by Monster's now finished relationship with Beats Audio and their relationship with Dr. Dre, SMS Audio has partnered with their own rapper to produce another competing model of headphones. While the choice to make their cans...

Interesting design ; Wireless ability frees users from cords

Low audio quality ; Very pricy

The fatal flaw of heavily-marketed headphones.

SMS Audio SYNC By 50

The SYNC by 50s aren't inherently bad, they're just terrible for $500.

Interesting design.; Wireless ability frees users from cords

Low audio quality; Very pricy

If you’re seriously considering buying the SMS Audio SYNC By 50s, be aware that they fall short in frequency response, tracking and distortion, and that’s before you turn on the rather outdated RF wireless, which makes the performance even worse. While...

Pretty Impressed :)

When these arrived, I opened them straight away. The box really does look very premium, and at the RRP shown, the packaging really does live up the the expectations. Upon opening, I was not disappointed. The headphones feel premium, a tad "plasticky" -...

Love 'em!

These are brilliant headphones. I'm no audio expert, but I know what I like, and these have excellent bass & treble, and there really is no difference between wired and wireless listening. I particularly enjoyed watching a few blu-rays with these one,...

Really cool piece of kit!

I have wanted to get a pair of Dr Dres for a while now but felt reluctant to plonk the cash that comes with owning such an expensive pair of headphones. I have been using Monster Lady Gaga phones but for certain genres of music, I just felt the sound...
