I like it very much. Good sound.
2 features I wish for a next version if that will exist:
* Skip track button !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* Turn on and off quietly.

Easy 5 star from me without the bta box, even with all its quirks. I bought one each with and without BTA.
Pros
* Great natural sounds plenty of bass
* Good left and right separation
* Calls loud and clear

Cons
* Useless BTA box
* It’s kinda of heavy
* Battery life is kind of short when the volume is more than 50%
* pricey if not on sales

It’s great for gaming if you don’t want to bother with hot sticky headphones or wire, but wants the full rich personal sounds.
It’s a perfect answer to my Xbox one X. Xbox does not allow any but their licensed Bluetooth headset to connected. The work around is to have a Bluetooth transmitter box connected via the optical audio cable. That said, the bta box that comes with the soundgear is pretty subpar. I can’t keep the connection even to the next room a few feet’s away. As soon as I walk around the corner it cracked and studded. I ended up buying a third party box and it works flawlessly.
Soundgear does not have the greatest range but it’s plenty for normal everyday use. Battery life can be a bit longer. It’s on the short side with about 3-4 hours 75-80% volume. The good news is the sound is quite clear at very low volume and not waking anyone up during late night session.
Last but not least, the sound quality, it very unique experience. Sound quality is very crisp and present. There’s plenty of bass but not for bass head. It’s quite natural not artificial like the Bose soundwear(I also owned). While it’s very secure on the neck with the rubberized texture, it’s heavy and when I lean back the neck and tends to move back a bit from time to time i would feel it teeter tod on my neck.

Full sound!

I bought these refurbish at an excellent price because there are three of us in a small house and regular speakers at high volume disturb my son and husband. So now I don’t have to reserve listening time and can hear every sound without bothering them. These are quality headphones (Radiohead quality) and I couldn’t be happier.
