Not great audio

The first thing I noticed about these headphones, and probably the biggest issue I have with them, is the audio quality. It’s not bad, but I certainly would not describe it as good quality either. The big issue is that it has a hollow, echoey sound to everything that plays, whether it’s phone calls or music. It sounds almost like the audio is coming from far away, or at the end of a long tube, and it’s incredibly distracting at first. You very quickly get used to it, and now I barely even notice it, but when I switch back to more expensive headphones it’s like night and day. Aside from the echoey quality, the volume is good and the bass levels are fine in my opinion. Compared to Bluetooth headphones in the same price range, the audio is not terrible, but it’s still behind other models I’ve tried. I feel the cost is a little high because of this.

The microphone that is built into the headphones is better than I expected. It’s not on the level where I would use it to record something for professional use, but for phone calls it works well. I could be heard clearly by the person I was speaking with, and the switch from music to phone call and then back to music was easy. The controls on the side of the headphones make it easy to answer and hang up calls even when you’re busy.

Speaking of, the controls on the outside of the headphones are easy enough to use, but do take some time to get used to. You have your standard options, pause/play, volume control, and skip forward/back. The buttons are large and easy to find/press, so once you learn where each button is located it’s easy to control your music or phone calls.

Despite being Bluetooth headphones, these also come with an Aux cable and can be plugged in for wired mode, which is useful in case you are trying to connect to a device which doesn’t support Bluetooth. As well as the Aux cable, these headphones also come with a charging cable (micro-USB) and a carrying case which can be clipped onto your bag.

Overall I found these headphones to be pretty comfortable on the ears, and the adjustable section has enough room that it can fit both very small and very large heads without any trouble. The cushions over your ears do a good job of reducing the amount of noise that can be overheard by other people, though they do get a bit sweaty if you use these headphones for long periods of time.

In summary, I was not impressed with the audio quality of these headphones, but other than that they work well and have all the basic features I would look for in headphones like these.
