The Package came in a yellow box with their brand's logo and a see-through window for the back of the headphone's earbud. It doesn't get much simpler, especially for in-ear speakers in this price range. The back of the box displays some basic specifications, while the sides contain some slogans. Accessories Astrotec GX-40 in-ear headphone Cleaning cloth 3 pairs of eartips (M/L and a pair of sponge eartips) Carrying bag Design We don't normally like talking about the design of headphones while we are reviewing them, but the Astrotec GX series headphones are truly special in their look. The GX-40 is almost identical to the GX-50 in terms of design, the only noticeable difference is its fixed cable, compared to the detachable cord of the GX-50. Also, the GX-40 get rid of the shape memory material used on the part where the cable joins the housing, likely due to the reason of cutting cost. The design that really makes the GX series headphones (including the GX-40 and GX-50) stand out is the crystal glass with 3D diamond shaped pattern on the back of the headphone's ear buds. The glass disperses light in an interesting manner at different angles, giving the headphone a very shiny and premium feel. Offering more personalization to the consumer, the glass decoration and the shell are available in many beautiful colors. The unit that we are reviewing here is Neptune Blue, which has a mirror glass and a blue transparent shell. The cable is made of oxygen free copper and is covered in a slightly rubbery and springy PU coating. It has very nice strain reliefs where the cable meets the housing. The cable jack is a straight plug, made of metal coated in gold. The build quality of the GX-40 (as with all Astrotec headphones) is as good as those high-end headphones. By "high-end" I mean the likes of Monster Turbine, Beats Powerbeats, which would normally cost you several hundred dollars. The GX-40 feels like a much more premium pair of speakers than the price tag would suggest. |
