The Treblab Z2 headphones may not be the flashiest headphones on the market, but their subtle design will appeal to users who don’t want to draw a lot of attention to themselves. They are all black, with a subtle Treblab logo on each ear cup. On the right ear cup is a noise-cancellation switch, while on the left ear cup are the playback controls, an Aux port, and unfortunately, a MicroUSB port. We would have liked to see a USB-C port here – it is 2020 and even inexpensive headsets should have the newer port. In general, the headset is extremely lightweight, but the downside is that while metal is used in the frame, the rest of the headset is plastic. Despite the fact that the headphones are relatively cheap, it was nice to see the hard case. Since the headphones are fairly lightweight, they are also quite comfortable. The ear cups and headband are well padded. Despite the good padding and lightweight design, the headphone’s headband is fairly firm. It’s possible that without a fixed headband, there would be other issues, such as a more uncomfortable feel on the head – but the headband is still worth mentioning. The Treblab Z2 headphones offer a decent design and a comfortable fit, but sound quality is ultimately the most important thing to consider. The headphones sound pleasingly good – but by no means groundbreaking, and there are a few points to note. Perhaps the most important frequency range is bass response. Kick drums sound huge, and bass guitars are more than loud enough in most songs. Unfortunately, the bass quickly becomes muddy and overpowers pretty much every other aspect of the sound. The Treblab Z2 headphones connect to your hearing aid via Bluetooth 5.0, and the connection remained good throughout our testing. Perhaps even better is the battery life, which is 35 hours without noise cancellation enabled and 28 hours with noise cancellation enabled. That’s not the longest battery life on the market, but it’s definitely one of the best. It’s safe to say that you won’t need to charge the headphones more than once every few weeks.
