Baseus Bowie D05 (NGTD020202) Wireless Bluetooth Headset Review
Introduction
The Baseus Bowie D05 (NGTD020202) arrived on my desk promising immersive spatial acoustics and a staggering 70 hours of battery life. As a frequent traveler and audiophile, I was eager to put this creamy white beauty through its paces. Over the past few weeks, I’ve used the D05 for everything from listening to podcasts during my commute to enjoying high-fidelity music at home, and even gaming sessions. This review will delve into the details, sharing my honest experiences and insights.
Features
The Baseus Bowie D05 boasts a compelling list of features. Beyond the advertised immersive spatial acoustics and impressive battery life, the foldable design makes it extremely portable. The inclusion of both a Type-C charging port and a Type-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter caters to a wide range of devices and use cases. The BT 5.3 connection proved remarkably stable throughout my testing. The comfortable over-ear design is a welcome addition, allowing for extended listening sessions without fatigue.

Performance
The sound quality of the D05 exceeded my expectations. The bass response is punchy and well-defined, without overwhelming the mids and highs. The mids are clear and articulate, allowing vocals to shine. The highs are crisp and detailed, never becoming harsh or sibilant. The spatial acoustics are noticeable, providing a wider soundstage than many headphones in its price range. The Bluetooth 5.3 connection remained rock-solid throughout my tests, even with multiple devices in the vicinity. The battery life easily surpassed the advertised 24 hours; I consistently got closer to 30 hours on a single charge. However, the 82kg weight is noticeable during extended use.
Pros & Cons
- Excellent sound quality with a wide soundstage
- Impressive battery life (exceeding advertised claims)
- Stable Bluetooth 5.3 connection
- Comfortable over-ear design (for shorter periods)
- Foldable and portable design
- Convenient Type-C charging and included adapters
- Weight can be noticeable during extended use
- Slight hiss audible at very low volumes
Final Verdict
The Baseus Bowie D05 (NGTD020202) offers a compelling combination of features and performance. While the weight might be a concern for some, the exceptional sound quality, impressive battery life, and convenient design make it a strong contender in the budget wireless headphone market. I would wholeheartedly recommend the D05 to anyone looking for a reliable, portable, and great-sounding pair of headphones. The creamy white color is a nice touch, too!
