TL;DR: If you’re on a tight budget and are looking for high quality headphones that are great for every use imaginable, these are for you.I’ve had these headphones for almost two months now, and I cannot stress enough how shocked I am at their quality for their price.For a bit of backstory, I’m a young person who lives alone and who generally has a fairly tight budget. I’ve been wanting over the ear headphones for a long time, but couldn’t reconcile the cost of the big name brands like Sony, Beats, Apple, etc. I randomly decided to do a bit of market research to see if there were any good quality options in my price range (which, I’ll admit, was very limited). After a long night of reading reviews and comparing prices, I decided to go with these headphones. I thought “They’re under $50, so I’m sure they won’t be amazing quality, but they should do the trick for a couple years.”After using these daily for two months, I cannot explain enough how impressed I am with the quality of these budget headphones. First off, the noise settings - the active noise cancelling is genuinely impressive. It does a better job than my in-ear Bose active noise cancelling headphones, which were 4 times the price. The bass setting is my preferred setting for music listening, as I’m someone who really enjoys physically feeling music when I listen to it. I’m not an audio expert by any means, but I am someone who cares a lot about music and my listening experience, and these headphones have bested every high-priced in ear headphone I’ve ever used (Apple, Bose, Beats, etc.). You don’t have to turn the volume up very much to get some good depth in this setting, which is nice. It does dampen the noise cancelling a bit, but when you’re listening to music you really can’t notice at all. The transparency setting is really useful for when I use these at work, as I can stay tuned into a meeting but still be aware of my surroundings.Physically, they’re so comfortable that I forget I’m wearing them. The foam padding is very plush and soft, and the headphones don’t feel tight on my ears at all. One slight issue is the size adjustment, at their smallest size they’re still slightly too big for me, but that’s a very small issue that I only notice when reclined/exercising. They’re very lightweight as well, I never even notice it.They also are so amazingly easy to connect to multiple devices. I have these headphones connected to my laptop, phone, and TV at any given time, and they easily switch from one to the other automatically when needed. For example, I can have my headphones on watching TV (which is great, as I live in an apartment with thin walls and I have hearing issues), and if I watch a video on my phone, they will automatically switch to my phone, then switch back to my TV when I resume my show.They’re also so pretty?? I got the pink ones, and they have a beautiful pearlescent exterior that I just love. I get compliments on it all the time!!My only issues with these headphones are so exceptionally minor that they don’t even warrant any stars off. The first is the control system - I truly cannot figure out how to skip/replay songs. I know you’re SUPPOSED to be able to do it, but no matter what arrangement I seem to press the correct button it, it doesn’t do anything but pause/play. It’s possible this is my own user error, as I threw away the user manual and haven’t looked it up, so that’s on me lol.The other slight issue I have with them is that they don’t really come with much of a carrying case. They come with a drawstring bag, which was nice until I immediately lost it because it’s significantly harder to keep track of than an actual hard-sided case. They also don’t actually offer much protection for the headphones other than from scratches, so a hard-side case would be awesome. But honestly, those complaints are so minor and irrelevant that I genuinely do not care!!All in all, I cannot recommend these enough. They are scarily good for their price, demonstrating once again that the free market is a sham and brand recognition sells more than actual product quality!!!

I mostly use wired headphones for listening to music, namely the Sennheiser HD58x and Koss KPH40. To get equivalent sound quality in a true wireless headphone requires an amount of money I’d rather not spend. I bought these mainly to listen to audiobooks while I clean the house or walk the dogs, but I’m pleasantly surprised by their sound quality when used with the Soundcore app EQ. I set it to “bass reducer” to tame the bloated bass, and the sound is not bad. Not as natural and spacious as my better wired cans, but definitely enjoyable. I find ANC to be very overhyped and detrimental to sound quality, and “transparency” mode just sounds bizarre, so I leave them in “normal” mode in the app. The sound is good for the price, the fit is comfortable for my large head, and the battery lasts a long time. If you need a decent pair of wireless headphones to knock around, these are great for the price!

I recently purchased these headphones to give myself a break from the in ear audio buds. I wanted to try an over the ear product to alleviate some of the discomfort of wearing in ear buds. I love the design on these. They look sleek without being too big and fit very cleanly over each of my ears. They are well made and sturdy. My only complaint is that I would like a little bit more adjustment as I have a small head. I wish I can make them a little bit more snug. There is plenty of adjustment if someone has a larger head. I love to listen to music when I’m walking and I also use my earbuds for listening to audiobooks. These headphones are awesome for the audiobooks. The sound is clear and crisp. I can hear every word of narration without having to rewind because I missed a word or two. When listening to music I like to have it way up high to drown out cars driving by while I’m walking. I kept wishing that I could make the volume a little higher. I realize that my phone also is to blame for this so I am not going to count this as a con. I also noticed that sometimes the voice of the singer is not as pronounced as I would like. There aren’t a lot of adjustments you can make with the settings other than bass. Having said this, it still does have a very good sound quality for music and does a very good job of canceling out the noise. I do see that in the warmer months the headphones may cause a little bit of sweating and for this reason I may not want to use them outdoors when it starts to get hot. Lastly, connecting to Bluetooth was a breeze. It took all of a few seconds. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and it’s nice to have a good alternative to the earbuds. I would recommend these headphones.

I am an autistic adult. I am also hard of hearing with hearing aids. While i enjoy being able to understand people, i do not enjoy hearing literally every annoying noise. I live with loud neighbors and roommates making it worse.I bought these two weeks ago and i feel way better. Every night i have my quiet time and it has improved my mood and i feel more at home in my college apartment.I don't care about audio quality obviously (they sound good to me) and i cannot guarantee it will shut out everything (with me having hearing loss). For me unless it is in my room or directly in front of me i cannot hear it. It is wonderful. If it doesnt block it out entirely the sound is quiet.I have an apple phone and laptop, these headphones connect to both at the same time. Switching between them doesnt require me to click any buttons or settings. I do not need to take them off at all. If i could sleep in these i would.These have become apart of my kit i bring with me places. I instantly feel better when i have them on.If you are autistic and looking for good affordable noise cancelling headphones these work great for me.The world is so loud all of the time, it is very nice to have some quiet.
