Unfortunately, I fall victim to being clumsy and often breaking / losing my headphones and earbuds- and when both my computer headset and everyday headphones broke, I almost died- and came to Amazon for a solution as many others before me have.I am a MAJOR FPS gamer. Specifically games like Overwatch and Call Of Duty. I had previously owned A pair of Steelseries Arctis Novas for my setup, and LOVED them. The sound quality is crisp and you're able to clearly tell where players are.I also really like good music headphones. Previous to these headphones I had used Beats, which, were good music quality, but falling apart.Since I lose and break headphones a lot, I didn't trust myself to go all in with an expensive headset. Through scrolling, I found these.Now, for the review.I LOVE THEM! They are very cozy. The material used for them do not feel cheap, and the speaker part of the headphones has lots of swivel opportunity. The cushioning is very well made, and with 4+ hour gaming sessions they do not ache my ears-they actually fit inside instead of the earmuffs instead of sitting on them!Audio wise, I can safely say, this is on par with my old Steelseries Headset. This is what really worried me, because crisp sound is very important in the games I play. Almost instantly, this headset proved it could handle that. It picks up all footsteps I need to watch out for gaming.Microphone wise, I use an external one at my desk, so I cannot entirely speak on it.As for music, this headset dominates that as well! Very rich in bass, and, if you download the app provided, you can boost it further which I adore! Vocals and everything are honestly, better than my Beats headphones.The noise cancelling is okay. It's nothing Apple level, but it certainly is enough to drown out noisy roommates, bus rides, or food halls you encounter. The transparent mode is also very useful for when I have to unfortunately listen to what's happening around me.Another very wonderful addition that I HIGHLY recommend is the app this headset comes with for phones. It controls the audio mixer for extra bass or less treble, has buttons for noise cancelling / transparent mode, and the best feature? You can connect multiple devices.It sounds basic, almost unneeded, but I didn't realize how much such a small little addition goes. Game queue times too long? Thats fine, my headset is also connected to my phone so I can scroll tiktok. Need to leave your friends on call for a second? Still hear them and do whatever you needed downstairs with your phone.The battery life is also very nice! I only have to charge them every few days, even when I do have those longer gaming sessions!All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this headset if you are looking for a new reliable one to replace your old ones. With sound quality of headphones ranging 100$+ USD, this is an absolute STEAL! I have been practicing being gentle with them because I never want to break them.(P.S. For all my fellow computer users or gamers using this headset, I highly recommend connecting it through your computer's Bluetooth, not headphone jack! Noise Cancelling is not available through headphone jack, and the audio sounds just the tiniest bit worse- nothing too irritating though! If you have an audio mixer app on your computer like me, there might be two options of headphones to pick from through Bluetooth. Do the STEREO audio option. You are welcome! :D)

I have literally bought and tried numerous other brand headphones ($100-$350) over the past 2 months. I have returned all of them, because of quality, sound and other issues. I saw this set from Soundcore, and read the 80k plus reviews, a few times. I decided to buy a silver set, because i wanted them right away. I am so happy I decided to buy these from SOUNDCORE. They are AWESOME! Sound quality is outstanding and the best part, SO SIMPLE AND EASYTOSETUP. Connection was no problem. Connected to phone and tv. Straight forward and easy. Sound quality is outstanding and loud. I actuality turned them down slightly. The headphones are extremely comfortable and stay in place. I can't explain it other than, my search is over for headphones! And all this for a great price! The quality of these headphones is great. There are no issues with the folding the points on the headphones and should last a while. They fold and unfold just fine. When folded up they are compact and fit perfectly inside the included, very durable pouch! Excellent headphones, sound, fitnand quality. I really like how easy these headphones are to use.

I bought these headphones before in 2021, to listen to videos / music while working, walking my dog, etc. I probably used them an average of 5-8 hours on a daily basis, heavily using them. It's 2025 now, and I finally have to buy a new pair due to me accidentally cracking the frame and the top layer of the padding around the ear peeling peeling; although despite this, almost everything still works perfectly fine without any issues. There are definitively pros and cons to this product like anything else:Pros:Decent noise cancelling - it's not great, as you can still hear some external noise, but it's not like you need to crank up the volume to drown it outFairly good sound quality: I've played various music, including dubstep, heavy metal, pop, rock, etc. & it can handle the majority of base. Sound quality seemed to stay consistent across genres. However, it's not like it's going to sound like you're listening to an artist live.Battery life:It has retained its battery life without issue over the course of 4 years that I've had it, despite my heavy daily use. I typically had to charge it on average once every 4-5 days.Inputs / Charging Ports:The inputs for using the jack port and charging ports haven't posed any issues (malfunctioning, having to place the cords at a weird angle to get it to charge or work, etc.).Wired connectivity:Worked and was compatible with Windows (although this may depend on the version being used) via wired connection using the jack port. I've used the port to wire my headphones directly to my laptop and had no connection issues.Bluetooth connectivity:Solid Bluetooth connection including times when I had passed through signal dead zones (although I don't know if it was because I didn't linger too long on those areas...). On average, it took about 5-15 seconds for my headphones to pair with a new device based on my experience. Took about 2-3 seconds to re-connect to whatever device I was using (if I had already setup a connection to the headphones prior).Buttons:Never had any issues (stickiness, malfunctioning, etc.) with the buttons (power, noise canceling, pause, volume adjustments, etc.) during the time I was using it.Price: Price was good for the quality of the product. I had searched for about a week for similar products with comparable features / quality in 2021. At the time, I had compared 4-6 other comparable products (including this one) and found on average for a comparable product, I would potentially be paying about $10-30 more.Headband: very comfortable (despite the looks of the headband). I believe I have an average sized head (not small or large) and I tend to vie for comfortability during use over many other features because of my heavy day to day use, especially because I wear glasses. My glasses typically get pressed into my head by the sides of the headbands of headphones of other products I've tried, and over time, it hurts and gives me a nasty headache. However, the headphone for this product did not do that, nor did I feel any pressure from the top of the headband. In fact, it was comfortable enough, that sometimes there were moments when I forgot I had them on.Longevity/ product life span:I have the longevity of this product to be very good. I've gone through a variety of headphones products over the years, from cheap no-name to high end brands. I found on average, the headphones would last me maybe 4-6 months with heavy daily use, a little longer than the average ear buds products I've tried. However, this product has lasted 4 years. Only near the 4th year, did the top layer of the padding around the ear start to peel.Cons:Headphone padding around the ears: the padding is comfortable but it can be very insulating if you are doing extensive movements (heavy lifting, high intensity activities, etc.) causing the areas around your ear that are covered by it to sweat. So, if you're sensitive to that, I would simply recommend finding an ear bud product you like rather than headphones. As in my experience, almost every headphone that cover your ears, do this to some extent.Noise cancellation:I live in a place that has a pretty strong windy season. I found when I was using this product outside during the windy season, the strong winds would slip between the padding around the ears and you could hear some of the wind. It wasn't that bad granted, as the sound was still pretty muted, but you could still hear it.Microphone:So, this was never a priority for me since I never bought this product with the intention of using it to make phone calls or speak in video calls, meetings, etc. However, I did see from questions asked about this product that there was a built-in mic and I tried to use it 5-6 times via android cellphone. However, the mic only worked 1 out of the 6 times for me and I'm unsure why. When, it did work, the sound quality of the mic was average and it picked up background noise, like wind, cars passing, or anything else very easily when I tried it while walking outside. So, this may not be the best product for you if a good mic is a priority for you.
