A Steal For the Price- Some Limitations
on June 27, 2019
Posted by: Eugene L
I was not expecting too much, so these headphone absolutely met my expectations. Despite some reviews complaining of difficulty or complexity in pairing, if you have paired various devices before, these are no different. The range, however, is somewhat limited- I lost signal anywhere between 10 and 30 feet. Not so great, but if you mainly keep your source (phone, etc) on you, or next to you, there is no problem. They are comfortable for the price-point: I've had slightly more comfortable (for 7x the price), and much less comfortable (for a similar price). The ear-cups can get sweaty if it's hot, and after a half-hour or so. Taking short breaks helps. These would be fine on a airplane trip, but not for many hours at a time. Short breaks help ease head & ear fatigue.
Noise canceling is OK, not absolute, but droning sounds are fairly well eliminated. Voices, intermittent sounds, and infant squealing are subdued, but not gone.
Audio quality is, again, good for the price point. You get much fuller, bassier sound with ANC turned on; a flatter response (requiring more volume) without it. To my ears, the bass is fairly "muddy," mid-range is fine, and highs are somewhat muted. So not fabulous, but if you're spending $40 on cans, I assume you're not an audiophile.
The aux cable, USB cable, and very nice case, are a bonus with this item. I have a pair of wired MonoPrice ANC headphones (originally about $90) which work well, sound slightly better, and fit about the same. Dealing with the wire can be a pain on a plane, but, unfortunately, a (Kirkland) battery leak has rendered them temporarily disabled.
Conclusion: At this price point, these are perfectly adequate ANC headphones, or get the ones that are about 25% better for 7x the price.

My teenage granddaughter loves them!

I bought these for myself but asked my granddaughter for her opinion before I even tried them out. She prefers earbuds but she really liked the sound quality and the noise cancelling. And the price made them an easy purchase for me!

Average quality

They are not Bose quality but neither are they Bose price. They are not great for blocking out the ambient noise from the room. They are pretty good for the price.

Sound quality was amazing- I was happy upon receiving the product especially for the price I paid- 3 days later it had a battery malfunction and died completely.

On 2nd pair--both have died within a week.

Awesome headphones, while they worked. I'm currently on my second pair of these that has died within a week of getting them. In both cases I used them for a few days, and then they stopped charging/powering on. I can still use them as wired headphones, but the Bluetooth and Noise cancelling features are completely dead. I find it really frustrating that this happened to my original pair *and* the replacement. Nice headphones, but obviously poor quality.

Can't t beat the price.

These functioned well and sound great. They fold up nice in the included case. These include a USB charging cable and an audio cable in case you need to plug them in.
The only down side is that since they cover the ears the ears can get warm.

Good sound, great price....if they worked...

I would recommend these if I knew that my experience with my pair was an anomaly. I used them for a few weeks, and they suddenly stopped working. I am unable power on the pair. I'm in the process of trying to get my issue resolved.
Otherwise the sound quality is good and noise cancelling work well for the price.
