COMFORT/FIT - These headphones fit in a strange manner. As other reviewers have mentioned, they are a strange in-between size of over-ear and on-ear. I have a larger head, and I find that I can manage my way into fitting the cups over my ears with a bit of maneuvering. These headphones may cause ear pain after a few hours of wear when you first get them. I found that after this period of 2-3 weeks, I am now able to wear them for as long as I want (upwards of 8-10 hours straight).
NOISE - Passive noise cancellation on these headphones is good for the price given you manage to wear them over-ear.
UPDATE: I have since tried quite a few more headphones in this range. None of them give as balanced a music experience as these. The Soundcore Life Q20's were far more muddy and made it feel like I was listening to audio through a thick sheet. JBL tune buds also seemed noticeably worse. I have since upgraded to a pair of AKG 371's, which I find to be fantastically comfortable with better sound quality than these headphones. In terms of value per dollar, however, it seems like the Sennheiser HD 400S' are hard to beat.
Build Quality: When unboxing the headphones I didn't think they were gonna fit as they looked small in both the ear cups and headband. But once I wore them, the headband adjusted nicely and the ear cups fit nice and snug (still comfortable), keep in mind my ears are pretty big lol so in my opinion it should fit most people. Unfortunately the headband is made of plastic but for price range I can't complain especially considering the audio quality.
Audio: Once I fired up these bad boys I was instantly impressed with the quality (not an audiophile though), compared to my Arctis 7s the audio sounded "fuller" and packed a bigger punch, so they earn a pass from me (unqualified but still my opinion). I also loaded up a couple of directional audio videos on YouTube and can confidently say the directional audio on the headphones are accurate and distinguishable.
Conclusion: Great headphones for the price, takes a hit due to plastic headband but more than makes up for it in the audio. Would recommend to my friends if I had any.
I read the reviews about this headphone thoroughly before buying it. Most of the critical reviews mention the sound quality being bad and it turns out they were right. Most people who gave a good score for sound quality have very low standards. I still bought it because I thought it had to sound better than my cheap Sony headphone, but that's only true if I use an equalizer.
I am not a true audiophile, but my standards are high when it comes to sound quality because I used to have a pair of unknown branded earbuds that sounded amazing and then broke. Ever since, I have been using cheap, crappy sounding earbuds and headphones and couldn't enjoy music like I used to. I really wanted to have a good sound experience again, but I have to pay a lot of money for it. I thought this product would be a great bargain because the brand is known for sound quality. Ironically, that is the worst thing about this product. Everything about it is great, the looks, feels, comfort, and noise cancelling. But the sound quality is what it's lacking, which is a huge letdown for me because that's the only thing I needed in a headphone, and I don't care about anything else.
I thought about returning it, but I've returned many headphones/earbuds in the past thinking they would sound good but didn't, so I'm tired of doing it and just accept it for what it is. The equalizer improving the sound drastically also helps with my decision to keep it. I don't understand why companies are always lacking in sound quality in their headphones and excel at everything else. I really do not recommend you buy this if you're looking for good sound quality; like many other reviews mentioned, it really isn't great. An equalizer is needed if you want it to sound great. Definitely look elsewhere if you want a better purchasing experience.

Apenas tengo tres dias con ellos y estan muy bien. Tiene un sonido amplio y se siente espacioso. EL bajo es rico y los agudos brillantes. Considero unos audifonos excelentes para oir musica en General. En especial se sienten muy bien con musica como Rock y Metal. Aunque con musica electronica tambien tienen un sonido muy completo.
Se sienten ligeros y algunas personas pudieran considerarlo que se sienten baratos. El acabado del armado es de buena calidad y todo el plastico tiene esta textura atercipelada. Es un magneto de huellas dactilares!
Los cojinetes de los audifonos son mas del estilo supra-aural, la diadema es comoda por un tiempo. No los he usado por mas de 2 horas seguidas.
El cable tiene buena longitud como dice la descripción de mas de un metro. Éste tambien tiene el plastico aterciopelado que, aunque evita enredarse, causa friccion facilmente con cualquier superficie; recomiendo usar cuidado de que no se atore con el sueter o los ajustadores de la mochila.
Pros:
- Buena calidad de Audio
- Excelente rango de Bajos y Agudos
- Construccion ligera y de facil almacenamiento
- Conector 3.5 mm en angulo 90grados
Contras:
- Plastico aterciopelado, atrae huellas facilmente.
- Un mes de entrega a causa de la distancia con el pais de origen.
