Kensington USB-C Hi-Fi Headphones, On-ear Headphone for Kids, for School, for Adults, Padded Adjustable Headband, 6 ft Cord (K97456WW),Black

great sound

These headphones have excellent audio quality. They are very light and comfortable to wear. The 6 ft cord is ideal for some people. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.

I’ve been buying cheap headsets for many years. I don’t use them for music listening, only for listening to a podcast or two before going to sleep. They usually last for a year or so and I figure I got my money’s worth. This headset lasted for 2 days, then started to go in and out, then failed completely. As cheap as this one was I did not get my money’s worth.

These headphones worked great at first, but the speaker is connected to the head strap with a flimsy thin plastic arm. One of those arms snapped off after only three weeks, just from being put in a backpack. Save yourself the frustration of having to buy another pair a month later by getting a more sturdy pair

Usually, I prefer to use wireless ear buds, but I use them for hours a day and was getting frustrated when needing to take them out to charge. As an alternative, I looked at over the ear wired headphones that connected with a c-type USB, but I definitely didn't want to spend more than $30 on a pair since they'd be my in-between while my buds charge, so here we are with the Kensington headphones. Overall, they are very good - sound quality is great, and despite the ear coverage not being a tight seal, enough ambient noise is blocked so that I can enjoy the music, but not so blocked that I can't hear important background noises (doorbell, kids screaming, etc.). They are comfortable on my ears and on my head, which hasn't been my experience in the pas with headphones. That said, there is random and often obnoxious interference that comes through, and I can't pinpoint if maybe it's something with my phone or some kind of external interference from a computer or something like that, but it does seem that no matter where I set my phone, the interference happens. If you've ever used dial-up internet, you will remember the unique tapping that would emit through computer speakers just before the phone rang, and that is not only the type of interference, but has many times been the exact sound I get. All-in-all, even with that interference, these are good headphones.
