Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love these headphones! Now I'm not gonna get all frilly or anything. I won't use all caps or excessive exclamation points (unless deemed necessary by me), I'm gonna tell you like it is. Fore-note: I was not hired to do this review. Promise. I got these headphones solely based on the excellent reviews that were on here and some videos that were posted as well (there are a good number who tell you how it is). Nobody else I know has heard of these headphones so I was really excited to get my hands these. I got mine in white. When you get the box, it's very unassuming. Once you open it, you get the manual, headphones wrapped up in plastic (not the kind that you have to pry open with alligator fangs), your charger and a wire to connect your headphones directly to your MP3 player. Along with a healthy amount of bubble wrap. Once you take out the headphones, (in white) you have the outside of the cups. On the right side, there are the controls (play pause, +-, skip and go back), as well as the microphone and charging port. On the left side, you have the headphone jack port. We'll get there soon. Silver lining the cups to the cushions and cushion. The cushions are rectangular and take up my whole ear (my ears are fairly normal sized). Padding up where the top of your head would support the headphones is super squishy (I didn't know any other word to describe it). Possibly an inch of padding just there and more than enough on the ears. The user manual looks thick and seems like it should be a lot of fine print, but it's actually only a couple of pages because they put it in 4 different languages. Yes. Four. Turning on (pressing and holding the pause/play button till you hear a sound) and pairing it (volume up/down buttons till you hear a sound) was extremely simple. Battery life is longer than my iPod and phone combined. I listen to music very heavily. When I'm walking, riding the bus, working, etc. pretty much everywhere I go. These are light on your head and very attractive to onlookers. Getting into the music quality, they're excellent. I play drums (haven't gotten a chance to play with them just yet), so I'm a qualified "bass head". However one family member of mine is a pianist and he looks for good highs and lows (something I don't quite get). He loves these headphones too. Not too bassy or anything for him, and he's very specific when it comes to music listening gear. You can pick up/hang up on calls too. I've read quite a few reviews on how the mic sounds like you're phone is 20 feet from you, which would be understandable cause the mic is by your ear, but for me the mic works perfectly fine. Now when your battery dies on your headphones before your iPod does, fear not! Just be sure to have that wire with you!!!! It'll help, I promise you. Just plug it in to your mp3 and the other side to your headphones, you're good to go. Even if you want to save up your battery, you can plug in that wire and the headphones automatically switch off and become a wired set. Pretty handy I tell you. There are four things that contribute to the 4/5 stars: 1) when using the headphones with the wire, since the controls for pausing, playing, volume up and down are on the headphones themselves, when your connected with a wire, or if your battery dies, you have to control all those via your mp3. Not much of a big deal, but I know some people care about that. Also, they should maybe add a control switch to toggle them to use or not. E.g.: when you're sleeping with them on (which is easy by the way), and you lay on the headphones wrong, your pillow can press all the buttons at once and it'll spazz. So maybe in the next iteration (If they have one). 2) the status light. It's unassumingly bright. My mom said it's like I'm signaling for airplanes when it flashes. Of course, it's not THAT bright, but if you're in a dark room, it illuminates quite a bit with those flashes. And I get kinda distracted with it at times but it's alright I'm easily distract-able (look a bird!) 3) the charger. When I first plugged in the charger part for the headphones, it was an extremely tight fit. So much so that it was a struggle to get it back out (the struggle was real). I immediately switched to a spare android charger that I had lying around and that works better for me. I'm afraid to use the charger given because wiggling it might cause the port to come loose. And that's not good. Of course, you have a one-year warranty with this thing, so if that happens, you can send it back to them. 4) leakage. Not many people touched on this. When I listen to music, I love my head vibrating with bass (told ya I was a bass head). My brother told me that he could hear it from where he was sitting (we were sitting about 5 feet away from each other). You can toggle this by playing around with the volume on the headphones themselves AND the volume of your mp3. All in all, I absolutely love these headphones. They're sleek, awesome music quality (no distortion), and extremely comfortable. They didn't skimp on the padding on the headband or the padding around the ears. I only took off one star for the 4 things because to me, two of those I can live with (the light and the controls). The other two can use some iterations (the charger and the leakage). But those are not necessarily problems to me. I can live with em. Hope you liked my review. I only review things I love. Have a good one! - W
