Fiio Snowsky Wind Headphones

What better way to pair your Snowsky ECHO MINI-player then with an equally retro looking pair of headphones. These are insanely low cost, its almost worth getting them just as a fashion accessory. These on-ear headphones have a super retro design, they let in a bit of ambient noise, which I actually love when I’m out walking or just don’t want to feel totally sealed off from the world. They strike a great balance between awareness and immersive listening.

Now, sound quality, even when plugged into the very basic Snowsky MINI-player, the Wind deliver impressively rich audio. The bass is tight and natural (thanks to the 14.2mm large dynamic drivers), mids are smooth, and highs are clean without being harsh. Honestly, it felt like my Snowsky leveled up just by plugging these in. They really bring warmth and clarity, even to compressed MP3s.

Design-wise, the Wind look cool, they’re super comfortable, even after an hour or two of listening, and the stainless-steel build gives them a strength without feeling heavy. The included ear foams (pair of black, pair of yellow) help with both comfort and sound isolation, though don’t expect full noise blocking, these are open-back, after all.

That said, they aren’t for bass heads, those wanting total isolation or the audio purist. Also, they’re not ideal for noisy gym sessions or train rides unless you’re okay with some sound bleed. But for walking, working, or just relaxing at home with your music? They’re stellar.
In short, the Wind are a perfect match for anyone who loves wired listening and wants to get the most out of something as simple as a Snowsky MINI-player. Enjoyable sound and retro style without breaking the bank? Yes please. RRP £16.42
