I can say that for the price I do not think you will find a better headphones. I purchased a Bose QC II last fall and returned them. Unbelievably the best headphones I have ever had but I had buyers remorse. They were just too expensive. This has fit my bill just perfectly and I have zero regrets. Sound quality is great and they are comfortable. I don’t think they are up to par with the Bose but I also didn’t spend $300. You won’t be disappointed with these.

A really nice sounding set of headphones. Have had them for a week and the sound and noise reduction is great. They look very nice and the quality seems good. Battery has been good as well. Would never guess at how little they cost!

Great entry-level bluetooth headphones, but becomes uncomfortable to wear after a while.

I bought these bluetooth headphones as part of my first foray into wireless headphones; I’m a long-time user of both traditional wired over-the-ear headphones and earbuds, cause I wanted to be able to listen to music or watch videos, without worrying about the wires getting in the way. I use Windows 7 so I had to use a bluetooth adapter in order to get them to work on my desktop; I used the Asus USB BT400 adapter (Product #17059), and after installing the necessary drivers and pairing the headphones, everything worked perfectly! The sound and the battery life is great, they’re reasonably priced, they don’t feel cheap, and it even has a headphone jack, so you can switch to wired if need be; I use this whenever I’m charging the bluetooth but still need to use the headphones. I can also use them for answering phone calls on my cellphone, or for chatting on Steam while playing games; I rarely use them for those reasons though, as I only bought them for listening to music/watching videos wirelessly, but it’s nice to know I can use it for those purposes too.
The only major problem I have with these headphones, is that they get quite uncomfortable after long periods of wearing them; it creates a lot of pressure around my ears, and they seem bulky when I’m laying down listening to/watching stuff; I probably should have bought bluetooth earbuds now that I think about it, but that’s an error on my end so that’s more of my fault for not doing better research.
Despite them being uncomfortable after long usage, these are some great, entry-level bluetooth headphones, for those who want to step away from the traditional wired headphones and ear buds, and I’d recommend them.Write your review here. It must be at least 10 characters long. Consider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or dislike about it.

Huge Value, Tiny Faults

Yes, it's true: These headphones are a fantastic value. There is much to like, and no deal-killer issues unless you're seeking perfection (in which case you're definitely in the wrong price range).
First, the sound quality is fine for most people and most purposes. I've used dozens of models over 50+ years as an engineer and musician, and I can say that with these, if it's in the recording, you'll hear it clearly and it will sound pleasant. There's no overt distortion, no over-emphasis of parts of the frequency range, no booming. The sound is easy to live with; it's not high-end analytical, but you wouldn't want to listen via Bluetooth with such headphones anyway. Volume with my OnePlus 6 is more than adequate.
Next, comfort. There are more comfortable phones on the market, ones even lighter, with even more unnoticeable pads, with even less clamping pressure. But there are way worse ones, too. I have a quite large bald head and big ears, so I'm sensitive to headbands that are abrasive, or too tight. This is neither. And the cups are big enough, and the pads are plenty soft. I have worn them for hours on end with no discomfort. Expect them to be sticky and sweaty in the heat; these aren’t sports phones.
Third, ergonomics. The controls could be improved upon. I have difficulty finding the three buttons, and identifying which one is the center (play/pause/power) by touch. The center button, particularly needs more tactile differentiation. And I would prefer these buttons to be on the back of the earcup, where my thumb would find them more easily with less wrist-bending.
Fourth, electronic performance is basic but just fine. Pairing with my OnePlus 6, my iPad Air 2, and my Lenovo Tab 10, all easy. BT range is average, 20+ feet. No tricky features (NFC, multiple simultaneous connections, etc) available or expected. ANC has only one setting, which is very good at cancelling steady noise like engines, fans, etc. The cups themselves block some ambient noise as well, of course, so even intermittent sounds are somewhat reduced. I would give them high marks for traveling, especially since if you lose them you’re not out $300! I’ve only received a couple of phone calls while using these and they seemed fine, but I’m no expert.
Bottom line: These are not the headphones I use for critical listening (those are Koss electrostatics), nor for working out (Bose SoundSports). But when I head for the train or especially the airport, these are in my bag, with no regrets about the audio quality.

decent while it worked - until the headband cracks
on March 22, 2019

I own this headphone for about 4 months so far. Here are my observations
package 5/5 - comes with a case which is great.
audio 4/5 - it's not fantastic but it's decent, unless you're audiophile.
comfort 3/5 - it's not that comfortable for me; maybe it's the size and shape of my ears/head. It was originally too tight and even when I adjust to a better position, I still find myself adjusting it frequently to avoid feeling discomfort.
bluetooth 5/5 - easy to connect, never dropped.
noise canceling 3/5 - not really blocking a lot of noise, but it does make a difference.
design 2/5 - here is my biggest issue. the headband cracked after 3 months of use. maybe i got a big head, i don't know. however the position of the headphone cushions are so tight for me, that every time I put them on or take them off, I would bend the headband enough to cause the crack eventually.
