Review: Nice headphones - Bought these for my husband's big Christmas gift from me this year (as I have accidentally ruined his echo earbuds). He wanted a chord free headset for use at his computer over his gaming headphones and his desertcart echo earbuds and I already have a pair of these from 2 years ago so I had him test mine out and he loves his pair! They are a high quality material and very sturdy. They are fast charging and holds charge for a long time. The noise cancelling works amazingly. They are super clear with audio as long as you have a strong connection to your device. My husband thinks they are super comfy but I personally have a hard time wearing them for too long because they start to hurt my ears and around them.
Review: Very loud I love that. Cordless - Great sound and long battery life... these headphones are comfortable and have great sound quality. The battery life lasts a long time, which is perfect for daily use, workouts, or travel. They connect easily and stay charged for days, making them very convenient. They are not heavy, great quality, very loud.It's core less, and I like that.Easy to charge.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these 100% sound proof? My ex likes to sing at the top of his lungs. Have to make sure I can’t hear him....**
A: I’m guessing the  exes sharing a domicile are from California; no matter the volume of the singing (or screaming) no one can afford another place to live. This is when headphones become a necessity rather than a luxury.
I love my Beats, and am on my second pair, shopping for a 3rd (in 6.5 years). The first pair were destroyed when a rogue wave crashed over a wall I was walking along and drenched me (no joke). The Beats, like Gremlins, do not like water. I’ve had my second pair for 2+ years. They have suffered extreme abuse— I wear them ALL THE TIME, even to bed. I drop them on hard surfaces  at least 5x a week. The last drop bike something in the arm so they no longer “cling” to my right ear. Cheaper to replace than to repair, sadly.
Tip— I replace the cushions with “Wicked” brand cushions, $20 and their like brand new. I’ve replaced cushions maybe 4 times. 
They are definitely NOT 100% noise canceling. Here is an example-I was walking one day and it began to rain out of nowhere. I stepped into a neighbor’s carport (imagine 2 parking spots with 2 story apartment on top. I was wearing my Beats listing to a book when I heard what sounded like a police car speaker instructing a driver to pull over, that type of sound. I could not make out words. When I removed Beats I heard “PLEASE LEAVE MY GARAGE IMMEDIATELY” through a Ring-type security speaker.
 So… you can hear something is being said if loud enough, but not what is being said.
 These are a great purchase esp at $115, but if you’re looking for complete noise cancellation I recommend Sony or Bose.

**Q: Will thes work with a galaxy phone? or any android phone?**
A: They work with any Bluetooth device.

**Q: how is the quality of the mic**
A: Fabulous!!! Unless you have them backwards then it sounds like your in a can. The mic is angles perfectly for wearing them correctly

**Q: Can these headphone be use in a home studuo???**
A: If it’s Bluetooth.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Literally mind-blowing upgrading from AirPods Pro 2
*by C***E on October 17, 2023*

Beats **all coming from an airpods & airpods pro 2 user** Two notes about me: * I have a pretty average sized head & ears * I wear glasses Thoughts: - Noise isolation is way better than people give credit for, works about as well as the active noise cancellation on my airpods pro 2. - I can FEEL the bass. - Can hear all kinds of details in music (like when I upgraded to airpods pro but slightly better than even those). The AirPods gen 2 did that for me, then the AirPods Pro 2 did it again, and now these are doing the same. - Electronic music sounds absolutely amazing. Better than any other headphones or speaker I’ve heard. - Classical sounds amazing—way better than AirPods Pro 2. - Folk sounds amazing, & it’s like someone’s playing a really high end guitar right next to me while also serenading me. - Piano also sounds especially amazing - Case is slightly padded, but leaves a lot to be desired there—they also barely fit (see pictures). - They feel durable, even at hinges (which shocked me). - They DO fingerprint easily, if that matters to you. - Box is very sleek & giftable. - Not having the automatic ear detection is really nice for when I lift one side up to hear someone or something. - They are more comfortable than AirPods Pro, even with memory foam ear tips on those. But they do get slightly annoying with glasses but there is a sweet spot where it’s not bad (if I angle the headband towards the back of my head instead of having it straight up and down). But it’s not so uncomfortable that I don’t want to use them. Merely a minor inconvenience. - I ever so slightly wish I could see the battery percentage on my phone while charging, but it’s not any real inconvenience. - The micro-USB charger is potentially going to be a slight inconvenience because they wear out—USB-C or a lightening cord would’ve been way better. - Pairing with an iPhone is extremely easy. - The included carabiner for the case is a nice afterthought, but it’s a super flimsy carabiner and the loop keeping it on the case is tiny and I wouldn’t trust it. If it were better sewn and had a bigger loop, that’d be fantastic. I CAN attach an aluminum locking carabiner, but it’s just barely big enough for that. - Charging seems pretty fast, and while I do wish it would show me the percentage while charging, I really appreciate seeing the percentage in the battery widget while connected because other non-apple Bluetooth headphones don’t have that and I’m left guessing how much is left on the tiny control center icon with those. In sum, I HIGHLY recommend these if you’re looking for good bluetooth headphones and don’t have $400+ to spend. I snagged them for $99.95, and I couldn’t be happier. They’re definitely a good value at $200, but they’re mind blowing at a part-time, minimum wage budget. Almost every feature has been either mind blowingly fantastic, but those that aren’t are barely worth commenting on. Are they perfect? No. Should one expect perfection at this price? Absolutely not. I’d highly recommend buying if they’re in your budget!!!
