The Fun Generation HP-7 is a pair of closed-back, on-ear headphones that deliver a high-quality sound at an attractive price. The finish is timeless black with silver trim on the backs of the ear cups, which are themselves decorated with a bright green rim. Functionally, a real highlight in this price range is the detachable cable, which can be replaced with a longer or shorter one as required, in addition to which the headphones also come with a 3.5mm to 6.3mm headphone jack adapter. These extras alone mean that the HP-7s offer more than many other headphones for this kind of money.
At just 193g, the Fun Generation HP-7 headphones are a real lightweight, so they can be worn for hours at a time without the user feeling like they have been giving their neck muscles a workout. The padded headband is adjustable in size, so the headphones are sure to fit perfectly. Another neat feature at this price point is the fact that the earcups can be swivelled, meaning DJs can check out the acoustics on the dancefloor while running through their playlist. The letters L and R are printed in a large, high-contrast typeface on the inside of the earcups, making it quick work to put the headphones on the right way round. Together, all of these features make the HP-7s very easy to handle.
Because the Fun Generation HP-7 is an on-ear headphone model, users won't be quite as cut off from the outside world as wearers of fully circumaural headphones are. Hi-fi fans who still want to have some idea of what their families are up to are in good hands here. Equally, sub-bass aficionados will also get their money's worth: The 40mm drivers in these headphones provide an audio frequency range that extends from an ultra-low 10Hz to 20kHz, making them capable of sub-bass frequencies that exceed the range of human hearing. Its 1.5m cable is long enough for everyday use but still short enough to disappear in a jacket or bag when used on the road. Practically, the cable is also fitted with strain relief collars, designed to prevent the connections from breaking or bending, meaning headphone enthusiasts using the Fun Generation HP-7 in the daily hustle and bustle of buses and trains, for instance, need have no fear of their music suddenly cutting out.

The Fun Generation HP-7 hi-fi headphones are particularly well suited to use with mobile devices and laptops, as they boast an effective sensitivity of 100dB/mW and a relatively low impedance of 32 ohms, which makes them ideal for delivering a decent output even when used with low-voltage preamps (such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and similar devices). With a rated power handling capacity of 300mW, they are also suitable for continuous operation with most consumer devices without any risk of damage. And for added flexibility and robustness on the go, all cables and adapter plugs on the HP-7s are gold plated to prevent corrosion, while also ensuring a solid contact and crackle-free sound for years to come.
