This is a very nice set of headphones for the mid grade price range. They are over the ear, offer noise cancelling, Bluetooth, or hard wiring. Upon ordering this set of headphones you will get a 3.5mm jack cable, a micro USB to USB charging cable,
I will start off with the sound quality. These headphones actually produce a crisp and clear sound at all volume levels. I did not hear any distortion of the speakers on the highest setting. I do not recommed that setting for any extended time regardless of the speakers. Typically I do not go past 70 to 80% for extended play time so there is a lot less chance of speakers being damaged. The headphones do cover all 3 of the ranges nicely. The bass is there and good quality unlike most headphones I have tried in the past.
Next is the active noise cancelling these headphones offer. The headphones I have gotten are flawed or simply constructed badly for the noise cancelling. This feature worked 3 times for me when I switched it to this mode. This was great because it actually worked really nice. It did remove 95% of the surrounding environment. Now however, when I switch to this mode it turns off all noise including my music I have playing. So I do not have the option of using the noise cancelling feature with this headset while listening to my music.
There are 2 ways to attach this headset to devices. First is the 3.5mm cable. This is a cable that has a male 3.5mm jack on both ends. This is simply plugging the cable into the device and then into the headphones. The second is with a Bluetooth wireless connection. This is done by pairing the headphones to your device. From the off mode you press and hold the power button. It will then turn on after a few seconds. You will still need to hold that button for another 5 seconds or so. This will finally get the headphones in to pairing mode. Once the headphones get to this mode go to your device and it should be able to locate the headphones. From there click to connect the device to the headphones and it will sync up. I was able to pair these headphones to my cell phone, tablet, and laptop wihtout any issues.
Now for the battery life. I was actually very happy with the battery life of these headphones. I was able to listen to music non stop for about 8 hours wirelessly connected to my tablet. The headphones also seem to hold their charge for about a week before you can really see any battery drop off while in idle mode. After a week I was only able to get about 4 hours of play time with the headphones.
When it comes to charging these headphones I had no problems at all. I was able to charge the headphones from a USB port on my tower, laptop, 110 wall adapter, and my portable back up battery charger. The fastest was with my 110 wall adapter then my laptop/desktop and lastly my backup battery charger. The back up battery charger took about 30% longer to get the charge to full.
Lastly we will move on to the comfort of the headphones. First off they are listed as an over the ear set. This is only some what true. They are a little bit larger then your standard on the eary headphones but they are not large enough to be true over the ear. To get this head set completely over the ear I have to tuck my ears into the headphones. The padding around the ears and across the top bar are very soft and forms nicely to all the curves of the head when you do put them on. The top bar is also adjustable to you can make the headphones smaller or larger depending on the users head size. The speaker areas also swivel to increase a better fit to the side of the head.
If you are looking for a decent set of headphones that fit a mid-range price bracket this might be set to consider. This set of headphones offers quality sound, very comfortable to wear, noise cancelling, Bluetooth, great battery life, and really easy pairing. I would like to thank X5 bluetooth speaker and affiliates for sending me this set of headphones to try out and share my opinion.
