Archeer AH45 - Wireless Headphone and Bluetooth Speaker in One Device

The Archeer AH45 is a pretty interesting product, it is not just a simple headphone but a headphone and a Bluetooth speaker in one device.

This is a pretty unique combination on the market and I was really excited to see, how Archeer could put these things together.

I went hands-on and summarized my experiences in this Archer AH45 review to find out if this hybrid design was a good choice or a complete failure.

The Design

Taking the AH45 out of the box you can immediately notice that it is a bit on the heavier side, because of its larger battery and the two drivers at the sides.

The general built quality of the headphone is okay, the arms are quite flexible and they seem to be durable.

But don’t expect premium materials, it was mainly built from plastic except the metal speaker grills, however, it is a pretty thick and matte finished plastic, not the cheapest one, so likely it will last long.

On the top, it got a nice soft comfortable cushion.

To make it more portable the headphone can be folded into a more compact size, it works well, it is pretty easy to open and close.

The length of the arms are adjustable to some degree, not too much, however, unless you have a pretty large head it will be enough.

Music Control

At the back of the right headphone, you can find the control buttons and the input ports.

Here you can find a switch to select if the device is in headphone or speaker mode.

In addition, here are located a status indicator LED and a Power button, which is actually a multi-function button, which can be used to pause/play the music or to answer and decline phone calls as well.

In terms of music control, it has a volume up and down button, which can be also used to jump to the next track or back to the previous one.

Regarding input ports, it has a standard micro USB charging port and an audio jack input port.

The headphone got a built-in microphone, so it can be used as a Bluetooth speakerphone.

Water Protection

Wearing it on your head, the AH45 is pretty comfortable, it is an on-ear type headphone, so the headphones will not fully surround your ears.

However, it is slightly heavier than the usual headphones and it is also pretty large, it sits out a lot on your head.

I suggest it mainly for home usage and definitely not for sports, because of its loose fit and heavier weight, when you shake your head it moves a lot, it is unstable and not comfortable to wear.

You have the feeling that it can easily fell off your head.

Archeer AH45 Sound Test

The sound quality of the headphone is decent, it has a present bass, not a super-premium sound but for its price it is fine.

To be honest, I had some doubts about this product.

While at first, the concept looked interesting to have a two-in-one device, I was afraid that it will be too bulky for a normal headphone and too weak for a proper Bluetooth speaker.

However, fortunately, the AH45 was a positive surprise and it is a pretty well useable device.

It is great that you can listen to music privately but if you want to watch a YouTube video or listen to a podcast with your friend or girlfriend, you just push a switch on it and easily change to speaker mode.

It is really convenient to use and works well in everyday usage.

The sound quality of the external speakers is pretty good, of course, they do not pack several drivers and bass radiators but it is clear and loud enough for watching Youtube videos or listening to podcasts.

Battery Life

The Archeer AH45 got a 1000mAh lithium-ion battery which takes about 3.5 hours to fully charge it and according to the manufacturer, it provides an impressive 45 hours of playtime in headphone mode and 10 hours of playtime using it in speaker mode.

Bluetooth range

In terms of Bluetooth range, it has a 33ft long range, which is an average range among Bluetooth devices.

Conclusion

The Archeer AH45 is not the most stylish Bluetooth headphone on the market but if you are looking for a wireless headphone and a speaker which can amplify the sound of your phone or laptop then with the AH45 you can get all of these in one device.

It is very convenient to use and provides a great value for a reasonable price.
