When it comes down to it, SMS Audio's SYNC by 50 wireless headphones are simply too expensive for what you get. Sure, they're stylish with a decent fit and good sound, but the experience is just messy.

Sync by 50 is a long ways from the most natural-sounding headphone we’ve heard, but it is a lot of fun to listen to. It delivers a vivid and exciting sonic presentation that a lot of people, especially hip-hop fans, will totally dig.

With distortion issues on wireless playback, attention-grabbing flashing lights, and a highly sculpted frequency response, the SMS Audio Sync by 50 suffers by trying to do too much.

The Sync by 50 wireless headphones made the right move using Kleer technology for lossless sound, but SMS Audio needs to fix severe design flaws and lower the price before they're ready for battle.

What we’ve got here is not necessarily going to be your number one choice for a pair of headphones if you’re looking to go low-key for fashionability, but the sound is nice.
