Great value for price general purpose noise cancelling headphones.
It's really funny because the only negative reviews are "this headphone is too small" or "it's an on the ear not an over the ear headphone". I'm 6'4" with a pretty large head and appropriately sized ears for my head, and I can manage them just fine. Unless you have Mad Magazine cartoonishly large ears you should be fine. It's definitely not a loose fit, but it's not uncomfortable, and I can wear them for hours without issue. The other negative I see is someone said that "the noise cancelling is too hard to activate". To turn the noise cancelling on, you have to press the up and down volume at the same time and hold for like 1 second. It's a single rocker, and the mediocre pictogram does show them using two fingers. PERSONALLY, I use just my thumb and I manage fine... Anyway, outside of stupid people leaving bad reviews. The sound profile is pretty good on bluetooth. It's only atpX, not aptX HD, so you get 16 bit audio out of it so approximately CD quality. That's still enough to tell that any audio from YouTube is "meh" at best, and that other websites have better bitrates. The nice thing is that you can plug it in and listen wired if you want to and it does come with a 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable so you can plug your headset into any normal aux port. They sound WAY better plugged in as long as your machine can output 24 bit audio (which makes sense if you think about it). The sound profile is nice and fairly clean, mids are a touch muddy, but the bass response is really nice. Treble COULD be a bit punchier for my taste, but it's pretty clean and I haven't heard any clipping in the 10-ish hours I've used them to listen to music. Basically, they are not studio quality headphones, what they are is really good quality general purpose headphones with a great name, good frequency response, and nice convenience being both bluetooth and wired. I would highly recommend them if you're looking for what I'm describing above, if you're looking for more audiophile/studio/sit at home in a butterfly chair with a pipe listening to ELO on vinyl headphones at about the same price, the Audio Technica ath-m50x are about the same price including a bluetooth adapter.
