An Overall Awesome Upgrade to its Predecessor!
These headphones are an overall interesting upgrade from the Apollo 1 headphones. I genuinely enjoyed the Apollo 1, as I loved the comfort, price, battery life, and sound. The only real gripe I had with them was the instruction manual, in that the instructions weren't that clear at all as far as how to use them and the orientation that they should be in. I was able to figure it out on my own for the most part, and looked at a top review that had full instructions if I missed something. I'm proud to say that the Fogeek listened and provided an extremely clear instruction manual! Now, what's the real difference between these two? Should you upgrade from the Apollo 1 to the Apollo 11?! Let's find out.Comfort: The Apollo 11 are slightly smaller in size and there's a clear weight difference in that they're lighter. However, the ear cups are slightly smaller as well. I have big ears, so even though I do believe these will definitely fit most ears, these don't give me the completely over-the-ear experience that the Apollo 1. The changes that were made with the Apollo 11 makes for slightly less comfortable experience compared to the Apollo 1. I noticed that I usually take off my Apollo 11's much quicker due to fatigue. This isn't to say that the Apollo 11 aren't comfortable at all, because they are! Comfort can be subjective depending on the person; based on my experience, I have a clear preference.Winner: Apollo 1Price: At the time that I received this product, they were $59.99 plus tax. As I'm typing this review, they're around $4 less. With the overall quality and sound of these headphones, it's an absolute STEAL. However, the Apollo 1 is slightly cheaper than that, at around $50.Winner: Apollo 1Battery Life: The Apollo 11 gets the easy win here. 30 hours vs. 20 hours on the Apollo 1. Do I really need to keep going? I guess I will. I capped out at 18.5 hours with the Apollo 1, whereas I got anywhere from 24 to 27.5 hours with the Apollo 11's. I switched between the ANC being on and off depending on the song, but mostly kept the ANC on.Winner: Apollo 11Sound: This one was difficult to decide. Both sound fantastic, so you can't go wrong with either. The Apollo 1 has better ANC due to its weight and slightly bigger ear cups, but the bass on the Apollo 11 is a little bit more present. The best way to listen to these headphones is with the ANC on, as it's not as enjoyable with it off. If I had to choose between these two as far as which I'd turn off the ANC for, I'd go with the Apollo 11 due to the increase in battery life. There's an obvious and definite improvement in sound quality with the Apollo 11. The high's, mid's, and lows all sound a bit better and the bass is more pronounced here.Winner: Apollo 11With the differences comes a major con that I wasn't expecting with these: the button placement. Fogeek had it right the first time around with the Apollo 1, but not with the Apollo 11. I don't like the placement AT ALL. I prefer it on the outermost part of the headphones, near the ear cups. However, this is just my opinion and preference, as I don't know what goes into making headphones.Overall, the Apollo 11 is a GREAT set of headphones and I highly recommend them. If you've never used the Apollo 1, skip it and go straight to these! An extra $5 or $10 will give you an overall better listening experience and better battery life. However, if you have the Apollo 1, you're satisfied with the overall great sound quality it already provides, and 20 hours of battery life is enough for you, then skip these. Otherwise, pick these up! Both the Apollo 11 and 1 prove that you don't have to spend an hundreds of dollars for great-quality ANC headphones, so these are definitely a step in the right direction!

If Bose are 10, these are 9.9
This is a comparison of the Fogeek ($59.99 with a $10 coupon = $49.99)ANC wireless headphones against my Bose quiet comfort NC wireless headphones ($299). I have had the Bose for about a year and a few months. I bought these for my team at work because of some equipment noise outside our offices.1. The CaseThe Bose case and the Fogeek case are very similar in quality and construction almost too close to call. I’d say the Bose is slightly better but marginally.2. Fit and Comfort.The Bose fit my ears and head slightly better but it may be that they are broken in. I suspect the ear cups are made of leather on the Bose and a pretty decent vinyl on the Fogeek. The Bose seem to take the shape marginally better and feel slightly lighter. They better be for 6 times the price but the difference is as I said marginal. They both have similar squeeze. Neither one give me a headache.3. Noise CancellingThe Bose has several levels of noise cancelling and the Fogeek has only on and off. Now I’m not sure what value an extra level of noise cancelling offers. You’re either trying to get rid of background noise or you are not. I’d have to give this to the Bose but again, it’s marginal at best. The Fogeek has a switch on the right ear that turns on and off the noise canceling and they don’t need to be turned on. The Bose have to be turned on but the noise canceling comes on with the power switch. It has a separate button for the level. You don’t have to use this button as when you turn it on, it’s at the level you last used.4.Volume and Sound QualityI have to say, the Fogeek seems to meet the Bose here. It seems to be tuned very well and has good bass and midrange. The Bose does too. Cymbals sound like cymbals on both too.5. Misc.When you turn the Bose on, it announces in your ear what the battery level is and what devices it’s connecting too. The Fogeek does not. You won’t know if your low on battery on the Fogeek until they are low and you get a tone in your ear. Today, I heard a slight electrical noise with the Fogeek turned on when I didn’t play any music. It wasn’t a deal breaker tho.So yes the Bose are better but like I said it’s $50 versus $300. They shouldn’t even be in the same ball park in quality but they are. I don’t feel bad at all for buying the lower cost Fogeek for my team. Unless you’re a brand snob worried about what other people think or an anal audiophile I’m going to say save your money and buy the Fogeek. I am so glad I did.I ran a similar “blind” test on my wife and she didn’t have a preference in scoring. She didn’t know which one was which. But she doesn’t have either. I’m going to buy her a set of these too.

Decent for the price. Would have enjoyed the larger ear cups instead.
These are a decent pair of bluetooth headphones for the price. They don't sound too cheap and the only gripe I have is the LED blink lights that do not turn off when using them. The ear cups are on the smaller side as well so if I were to do it again I'd go with some larger sized ear cups that cover the entire ear.
