Sudio Vasa Review

Sudio Vasa Review

We got a new earphones for review a few weeks ago and it’s the Sudio Vasa earphones. The brand might not be familiar to you but they’re a Swedish company and they really have some cool and elegant earphones including the one that we’ll be reviewing right now, the Sudio Vasa.

Sudio Vasa 3

The Sudio Vasa is one of their best earphones according to the company and by looking first at its design, I can really say that this earphone from Sudio is really premium and very elegant. The one that I got for review is the blue and gold and its design is really perfect for everyone. The Sudio Vasa is an in-earphone and it comes with different earbud sizes that can fit your ear. Yes, the Sudio Vasa is very comfortable to use despite using it for many hours.

Sudio Vasa 1

The Sudio Vasa’s cords also come in flat which makes it sure that the earphones would avoid being tangled up once this one is in your pocket or in the included leather carrying case. Yes, there’s an included carrying case and a metal clip if you want to bring these earphones somewhere.

Sudio Vasa 7

Since the one that I got is optimized for Android, the Sudio Vasa got some buttons that you can use to control the volume, play/pause, and skip songs. Of course, the Sudio Vasa got a mic too so that you can answer calls from your Sudio Vasa earphones. The button is placed on a rectangular gold-plated case and it is just gorgeous. It’s really perfect especially if you paired the Sudio Vasa with a gold smartphone.

Sudio Vasa 4

The earbuds of the Sudio Vasa is really attractive because again, the design of the Sudio Vasa is really elegant. There’s the combination of the blue color of the Sudio Vasa, the tangle-free flat wire and then there’s the gold plated earbuds. It’s really awesome to look at.

Sudio Vasa 6

The Sudio Vasa really have an elegant and premium design and yet the sound quality isn’t disappointing. Actually, the Sudio Vasa’s sound quality was really good.  The specs of the earphone are really great and I’m really happy that this one uses Aluminum in its housing which helps in improving the audio quality of the earphones. The frequency response is pretty good too and the driver spec sheet doesn’t disappoint.

 

Again, the audio quality of the earphones is good but of course, it’s not perfect. The bass of the earphone is great, not the best but I was really satisfied with it. The Sudio Vasa can really give some oomphs but it tends to be muffled sometimes at the very deep lows. At mids and highs, the Sudio Vasa still doesn’t disappoint and overall, the audio quality of the earphones is clear and really great.

 

Verdict

Sudio Vasa 2

The Sudio Vasa is a very stylish earphones and it will be surely loved by fashionistas and everyone who is seeking for good-looking earphones. But the Sudio Vasa is not only stylish but it also has a pretty good sound quality thanks to its awesome hardware. The Sudio Vasa might not be cheap for some at P3,250 but hey, this one comes with a very premium design and really good quality.
