> 3 dayI had been searching for noise cancelling earphones for a while now and was looking at options that were $200+ but the price made me afraid to commit so I looked for a cheaper option. I saw great reviews for these (and I’ve used skullcandy for years) and thought I would take the chance and I’m so glad I did! Great all around everything. Especially happy with the battery life compared to my AirPods that die and need to be charged every day even if they aren’t used. 11/10!

> 3 dayThese are comfortable headphones and the noise cancelation it pretty good. However there are some downsides. There is a foreign sounding feminine voice (obviously the actress does not actually speak English, as the pronunciation is very odd) that announces functions and power activation, which cannot be disabled and for which the volume cannot be adjusted. Powuh on Powuh off Sounds more like something you would expect from a cheep Bluetooth speaker from Wish (duh blootoos dEvaice is cOnected ah sUccess-fil-a). So I think that the $40 that I paid is fair, but I definitely would have been disappointed at $120.

Greater than one weekOverall, I am not satisfied with this purchase. Pros- sound, price and aesthetics. I’m not an audiophile, I don’t know what things are supposed to sound like.. But to me these sound good. I have no issues with the sound at all. The price is obviously very attractive as well. These aren’t the least expensive headphones in the world but they’re much cheaper than the majority of the alternatives. They also look pretty nice. Cons- The absolute dealbreaker for me is it’s size, and more specifically the size of the ear cups. They’re way too small for me, my ears can’t possibly fit in them. Part of my ear is either being crushed if I try to stuff them in the cups or the pad is sitting on top of my ear instead of over my ear like over ear headphones are supposed to. All of this makes for an extremely uncomfortable wearing experience. After only several minutes of wearing them my ears hurt. For reference, I use a pair of Astro A50s and have no issues with the size of the ear cups. Also, the noise cancellation is very lackluster. They’re hardly better than standard closed cup headphones. At this price point I wasn’t expecting much but I was definitely disappointed. Last thing I want to mention is that the outside of the cups are fingerprint magnets. I could deal with that if they were comfortable but they’re just not.

> 3 dayThey fit perfectly and truly block out ambient noises. I use them when I fly and even when sitting next to wings near the engines, they block out the noise. Other perks are how nice and compact they fold, the long battery life, and the easy to use buttons. The only complaint I have is the female voice used to let you know your connected or disconnected, she has an accent. Otherwise buy these headphones, you won’t be disappointed!!!

> 3 dayThe saga began with me buying black hesh anc from best buy. The actual sound and style/comfort were good. HOWEVER, the anc is terrible. Specifically I heard short chirps every 30 seconds or so alongside the audio. Since I liked everything else about the headphones, I returned them to best buy and bought another set from Amazon. Same problem. The headphones chirped periodically in a way that maybe would be expected from $30 headphones. Such a shame because they were so comfy. I have smaller ears and head with no issues in fit. I returned the round 2 pair and ordered my third and final pair of hesh anc. And again, the chirps. So I returned them and picked up a pair of Sonys from best buy. Summary: All the pros (comfort, not having to pair with an app, accessible button controls, lightweight) were negated by the chirps I heard while the anc was on. To me, that is not worth $130.

Greater than one weekEverything about these headphones are great! The only issue I have is with the sound. The sound is higher when using the cord, but while on Bluetooth the sound is not at full capacity. BUT GET THEM I LOVE THEM REGARDLESS!

> 3 dayFirst off, Ill say Im no audiophile but I dont think these are very good headphones for the price. They are nice and light and feel pretty well made and are extremely comfortable to wear. Like another reviewer commented, it sounds a bit like I am listening to music through a pillow. The sound is rather muted. Ive tried a bunch of different songs with the ANC on and the ANC off and it really doesnt make much difference. The sound is fair at best. There is just something missing and no way to make any adjustments. They might be a little bit better than a $1.00 pair of earbuds from Wal-Mart but something is off with these at around $130. This is my first pair of over ear headphones with ANC. My understanding is that ANC is supposed to mute or filter out ambient noise so that you only hear the sound coming through the headphones. Thats how the wireless earbuds I have seem to work anyway. With a television on at a low or medium low volume in the background, Ive tried every volume level on my phone when paired with these headphones with ANC on and with it off and the only thing that affects whether or not I can hear the TV in the background is the volume of the headphones playing in my ears. Whether ANC is on or off seems to have zero effect on whether or not the sounds from the TV can be heard in the background. If I had paid $128.99 (current Amazon price) for these Id send them back for a refund in a second. In my opinion, the sound from these is average at the very best and Id never pay $130 for these. Theyd be OK for listening to a podcast, audio books or watching TV but they pretty much stink for listening to music which was the reason for ordering them.
