Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am not a fan of wireless anything. I hate bluetooth so I was not happy about having to switch to wireless headphones. These helped to change my mind because of the ease of connecting them. SET-UP: My biggest gripe with wireless is that it takes more time to connect everything and get it syched and that it's faster to just plug in a wire. Well, these headphones are just as easy as plugging in a wire. Once you connected them once then any other time you use them it's as easy as flipping a switch to turn them on. And the initial setup wasn't actually bad at all. It took maybe 2 minutes tops to go into my bluetooth settings and add the headset. VOLUME: I was a little concerned that they wouldn't be loud enough because they aren't noise-canceling and they don't completely incase the ear but rather rest on the ear itself. Volume is not an issue. These get loud enough to listen to with them on the table. They may not be noise canceling but if you blast your music you aren't going to hear anything else. Also, listening to a podcast on a crowded train was no issue. I could hear the podcast clearly. SOUND QUALITY: Next issue with wireless is that sound quality suffers but this was not an issue either. Music sounds amazing. There is no way you could tell these headphones from a wired pair of headphones. The sound quality is incredible. BATTERY LIFE: I thought it would suck to have to charge my headphones constantly but you actually don't have to charge them often. I have had my headphones about a month and I think I charged them twice. They charge very fast. They actually shipped charged which was nice. I don't know how long the battery life actually is but that is because I've never had them die on me. So you can easily listen to your headphones for an hour or more on your way to work then an hour or more on the way home from work without having to charge in the middle. I don't know if these stats will last as the battery ages or if I'm just getting lucky based on my usage but I hope they stay this good. PHONE CALLS: So to my surprise this headset allows you to answer phone calls. I didn't think it would since there is no microphone dangling from a cord near my jawline, so I was pleasantly surprised. Not only can you make and receive calls with the headset but they actually sound great. The person I spoke to said my voice was clear and it didn't sound like I was on a speaker phone or anything like that. On my end, I heard the caller clearly. So, great for handsfree calling. COST: Great value. Most headsets like this cost well over $100 and close to $200 so at $45 these are a steal. DURABILITY: This is the one area I ding the headphones for. They feel kinda cheap and plastic. I haven't had an issue with them breaking in any way yet but it feels like they could easily get crushed or they could break if handled aggressively. I mean they aren't complete garbage though. You can drop them on the floor from head height (like I did by accident) and they didn't break when hitting the wood floor. They also fold up into themselves nicely so they can easily fit in a briefcase or bag, which is a huge plus. They can handle being tossed around in my bag all day but I do feel like if I had something heavy in the bag or if I dropped the bag hard I could possibly break the headset. OVERALL: Great pair of wireless headphones that I would highly recommend.
