“After a few months of extensive use, I am removing 1 star because of a major issue. These headphones are a little too small for an over-ear model. This is not an issue when using them for 1-2 hours of commuting or workout, but trying to keep them on for 8 hours a day at work is a painful experience. So if you are looking for something for long working/gaming sessions, pick something else. Maybe it's a compromise between comfort and stability (they do not move at all when running etc.). Other than that, great purchase.”

“I needed wireless headphones that I could use for work—zooms and phone calls that would also require a mic on my end—and also for running around the house managing remote learning for my kids, making lunch, etc., WHILE zooming for work, because let's face it, this is what it is if you're working at home with kids. I also wanted headphones for when I'm cleaning around the house. My biggest need for all this was a headset that WOULD NOT DROP as I navigate between rooms in a pre-war NYC apartment. THESE DO THE THING! I go from bedroom to kitchen to bathroom and all around my apartment, multiple walls, and I'm still in my meetings!”

“The ear pads and headband are extremely comfortable, the construction is good, it feels solid, it seems to me that sound control could fail in the medium to long term, I had not seen such a configuration. The sound has a lot of predominance of bass, but does not mudge the rest of frequencies, warm media and defined treble but less resolved with respect to other frequencies, the app adds little value since it does not offer too many control options and has many bugs, does not allow updating via OTA, to update you must download the app on the pc and connect them via USB. It has a storage and carry bag that while protecting from scratches or scrapes, does not offer protection against bumps or drops, although for me it is one of the best bags included in a hearing aids. As for Codecs SBC and aptX can be used. In its quality/cost ratio is the best.”

“Everything technical about this headset is great for me. I like the design, I feel like controlling all the buttons is very intuitive, the noise cancellation works great, and the mic-feedback or whatever it's called works ok (but not stellar). I like sound quality, the tension in the headband, and overall it's just a great headset. Except for the fact that wearing them longer than an hour makes my ears die.

I don't have particularly large ears, but the shape of my head tapers back a lot on the backside of my ears. They fit fine inside the cups length- and width-wise, but the depth of the cups when the earpiece is compressed means that my outer ear is hitting the inside screen to the speaker. This was a mild annoyance at first and usually meant I was wearing them too long. But a bit less than a year later, the foam earpiece seems to compress much more readily and my ear is hitting it right away.

I've reached out to the company to see if there's another option for the cups, maybe a stiffer foam, but I'm not very hopeful. My end recourse now that it's been so long will probably be having to unload them for cheap here, and go back to finding the perfect pair yet again.”

“I bought these headphones about three and a half years ago, and have used them nearly every day since, usually between 2 and 10 hours a day (I listen to music while I work). I started running with them about a year ago which did a number on the earcups, but I bought a new set for less than $30 and replaced them. Functionally they held up to the abuses of running!

They are going strong, these headphones have lasted me longer than any other pair I have ever owned!

Sound quality + noise cancelling is good. These aren't a $500 pair of headphones. The noise cancelling is good enough that you can't hear your coworkers talking and the sound quality is good enough that they are my preferred listening device.

Also comfortable!”

“These bluetooth headphones are the most comfortable I've ever own. Super easy to stop what you are listening to just by taking them off your ears. If you walking or running while wearing them, there are times where any bump will make it stop playing because of the auto-pause feature. I find that turning them off and back on resets them and you can move around with them stopping. Only complaint I have is that the seams started to rip inside one of the earphones after 14 months of owning them. For using them every day, I really love the comfort and ease of them (especially on a plane) but the rip in the seam is disappointing. So great set, just realize if you use them as much as I do, they may last 1 1/2 years before you have to replace them. I'll buy another set though even if they don't last forever.”

“This product is excellent in terms of functionality with i phone and Noise cancellation with Tag of 10 K.

There are some issue which is already been raised by another customer.

1. It disconnects from device automatically when you switch from phone to headphone

2. Mute ON and OFF automatically and if you are talking to someone, suddenly person stops hearing you.

3. Media pauses without pressing a button and some time as your forehead shakes

This product is appreciable in following features

1. Sound quality

2. Bluetooth range

3. comfort in wearing , even while running it holds pretty good

4. Pouch for duct protection

5. Noise cancellation etc

6. Open Mic functioning, it is so good that you can hear someone whispering around you which your ear cant catch

Over all i will rates it as one of the best Headphone for those who talks over phone and loves music simultaneously”

“After reading numerous long reviews, I decided to buy a pair to replace my SteelSeries headset that's five years old. I got mine for $120 on sale, so bear that in mind when I talk about value.

Let's get the major talking points out of the way.

The sound: the highs are a bit quiet, the mids are strong, the base is either non-existant or rumbling your head, no inbetween. You'll want to download a third party equalizer, as these headphone DEFINITELY need balancing. But that's not a big deal.

The ANC is okay. It's best for things like the hum of your AC unit in your office or the gentle whine of your computers cooling fans. It will not cut out all sound and even louder regular sounds like the whooshing sound of the AC intake isn't cut out, just lessened. Think of it this way, you're paying half the price of Bose, so you're getting half of the ANC.

The connectivity: That's a tough one. The bluetooth in the headset lands right in the middle of the pack and largely depends on the transmitter on the other end. I bought a Avantree Leaf Long Range USB dongle and I can wander about my house without cutting out. To be clear, people need to realize that you need to get an AptX enabled transmitter if you want the low latency codec and lag free video watching. Not all phones/tablets have this (or even mention if they have it), so you'll find some people swearing there's no lag and some people complaining heavily about it. Get an AptX enabled dongle and you won't have a problem. On my phone, listening to spotify, I can get about 10m in my yard and I do not receive stuttering if I walking/running with them.

Battery life: Because the standby time is so low, it's hard to say. I definitely easily get through a whole day of work without ever having to worry about battery life. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say you can probably get 21ish hours non-stop. Definitely better than my previous wireless headset that had 1000mAh batteries.

Overall, I think this headset is definitely worth it at $120. Amazon says the non-sale price is $200 and at that price...I would not pay that amount. The build quality is sturdy enough and the carry bag is nice.

If you have a large head and hate the squeezing feeling, skip these. I have an average sized head and I can feel the squeeze after a few hours. The faux leather cups are somewhat small and don't fully encompass my ears very well.”

“Build quality is great but the design isn't the most eye catching or sleek (to me). They're very retro looking, I wouldn't say it's a bad thing, but I like sleek and simple design. The design will grow on you and will probably suit that hipster/retro style look, if you're going for that.

-----------

Very comfortable to wear, fits my big head, however, it automatically pauses when it senses you take them off. A unneeded feature in my opinion. Whenever I'm running, they occasionally pause but then play again right away, thinking I'm taking them off from all the movement. Not a deal breaker, but something to note. Probably my only real negative view on these headphones.

---------

Battery life is phenomenal, they last a long time which is always a plus, wish I had these when I flew to South Korea last year. So A+ on battery life and charge time. Audible voice will tell you how much battery life you have when you turn them on.

----------

So in conclusion well worth the price and quality for less than half the cost of the Big 3 Brands (Apple Beats, Bose, Sony). A few minor cons, but they don't over shadow the plethora of pros these headphones bring to the table.

PROS: Excellent Sound Quality, Great ANC, Great Battery Life, Comfortable, Easy Controls, AMAZING PRICE

Cons: Auto pause feature when you take them off (could be a pro for some), Design isn't to my liking but build quality is great”

“I have bought three of these over the last few years and was always happy with them until the last purchase in December of 2021. The quality has gone down in their construction. The ear muffs are not replaceable and are, at least on this pair, made of vinyl that just doesn't hold up. As you can see in the pic, the vinyl is starting to crack, peel, and flake away. I had a recliner made with this so called "Pleather" and the end results were nasty. Once this starts peeling, you can't wear it unless you are ok with disintegrating vinyl flakes of unknown chemical composition in your ear.

I really do like the sound of these, but once you start using materials like this, it really makes you question the QC of the operation. I tried to reach out to the seller, but Amazon is making things more and more difficult in reaching out. When I clicked on ask the seller a question, I ended up with an Amazon bot. That just doesn't work.”

Most users have given favorable reviews on Plantronics backbeat pro 2 headphones, which shows that it is a good headphone. However, no headphone is perfect, and it still has some shortcomings.Its On-Ear design is not suitable for everyone's head circumference, so it is easy to put pressure on the head and cause pain after wearing it for a long time.Moreover, the waterproof performance of this earphone is poor. When you wear it, you sweat while running or doing other sports, and it is easy to damage the earmuffs, or the earmuffs will slip off.If you want to find headphones that are suitable for a variety of scenes,more comfortable to wear and more functional in the market, Wissonly Hi Runner bone conduction headphone is a good recommendation.

This is a bone-conducting Bluetooth headphone especially suitable for sports. Wissonly promotes the concept of healthy enjoyment of good sound quality, and its products focus on not hurting the ear. The Wissonly Hi Runner's completely not-in-ear design minimizes the damage to the eardrum and maximizes ear protection, and it keeps the ear canal clean and hygienic, making it a healthy and hygienic headphone. Its open-ear design also allows you to easily hear the sound of cars and traffic lights in sports scenes such as running and walking outdoors, making you safer when using it.

The most important thing for the headphone is the comfort, fit and stability, and the overall frame of the Hi Runner is made of adjustable aviation-grade titanium steel, which can adapt to different sizes of head circumference, ensuring a fit and stability when wearing. The surface of the headphones is made of high-tech low-sensitivity silicone material, which does not contain chemical components to avoid allergies. The overall feel of the headphone is as smooth as baby's skin, avoiding uncomfortable wearing for a long time. And it weighs very lightly, less than 30g, so it will not feel heavy when worn, which ensures wearing comfort.

It is inevitable to sweat or encounter sudden rain during outdoor sports, so it is a great test for the waterproof performance of the headphones. Although the name of Wissonly Hi Runner is Hi runner, it also has an IPX8 waterproof rating higher than the industry standard, which makes it work normally when swimming and diving, and the ordinary sweat proof and waterproof are naturally without any problem, which is a great advantage of it.

It is very powerful and equipped with a Bluetooth 5.0 chip, which makes the connection more stable. It is also equipped with 32G body memory, which can store 5000 songs, and supports Bluetooth and MP3 working modes. When you're playing underwater or don't have a phone, you can use it as a Bluetooth MP3 player.

Its battery life is very strong, it can be used continuously for 10 hours, and it supports magnetic fast charging, which makes up for the disadvantages of Bluetooth headphones.

In terms of sound quality, it is also excellent. Wissonly Hi Runner revolutionizes the traditional sound quality scheme by using a large wireframe vibration unit, improving the effective vibration area through structural optimization, so that the sound can perform well in both treble and bass.
