the headphones look and feel more expensive than they are. they fit quite well but when the ANC is on and the headphones aren’t covering your ears all the way there is a horrible low frequency feedback and buffeting sound that ruins the experience. i’m thinking of exchanging them for another pair in hopes that this is an isolated issue.
For what these cost they are a good value. Sound quality is very good and better than other higher cost sets I've owned. You really need to run these in ANC mode to get the best acoustics. The noise cancelling is marginal at best in my opinion but for the price point it's acceptable. They are by no means high end ANC phones and you can still hear most of the world around you. If you are looking for absolute silence these are not it. But again, at this price point they are acceptable in most uses for ANC.
I had had or a few months, and used a few times in different situations and so far they have exceeded expectations. I am not an audiophile and find sound quality of music fine. I have used on a few conference calls and the clarity of the calls was great and no one had any issues hearing me. I have an older more expensive ANC headset and they may have a bit better NC, but for the price, I am very happy.
Good value, fit too tight, notifications way too loud

The headphones sound good and connected easily to my iPhone and to the Bluetooth transmitter attached to my receiver. The battery charges quickly and seems to hold a charge forever as long as I don’t leave the noise canceling switch in the on position.
There are two areas where I would downgrade the headphones. First is the fit. They are very tight on my average-sized head and I can only wear them for a short period of time before fatigue sets in.
Second is the volume of the “notifications”. When the headphones are turned on you get a voice saying “POWER ON!!” and then “CONNECTED!!” when they connect to a Bluetooth transmitter. Regardless of the volume of the headphones, the notifications are so loud they almost hurt my ears. The reason I use the headphones is so I can listen to TV without disturbing my wife after she goes to bed, but the notifications are so loud that I fear they might wake her up from 2 rooms away!!
I have taken to holding the headphones tightly together to turn them on before I put them on my head. Once I hear ”POWER ON!!” and “CONNECTED!!” I know it’s safe to put them on.
There may be a way to adjust the volume of the notifications, but I have not found it.
Wireless battery does not charge on new speaker .... buyer beware!!

I bought it for a Christmas present.... just tried to create a charge before wrapping... and it does not charge. Have tried several times and it will not turn on or pair with blue tooth. Bought in fall and now regret buying it. Never been used. Buyer be aware
