Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on September 13, 2017I've had a set of these since, I believe, Dec 2011 and they are to date my favorite headphones even after trying Beats Solo3 that I got with my Mac. These headphones have great sound quality and I like that I can use them with my phone and my PC, and I LOVE the built in but nonobtrusive microphone. I also like that they do not have extreme sound-blocking because I like to wear them when walking around town, and deafening yourself for the sake of music while walking downtown is really unsafe.
Until recently I had used the headphones on my laptop via the receiver. If you have an older laptop with a questionable bluetooth module this might be the way to go, as with some older bluetooth tech the sound quality can be sketchy. However tested on 2016 Macbook Pro the quality and range are excellent. That said, I have noted some reviews complain about the receiver quality - when using the device in an area that has a lot of wireless devices the receiver quality can suffer. Based on personal experience, if it's just you at home and your microwave was made in the last 5 years I don't think this will be an issue.
The microphone is of good quality, I use it when gaming with friends and have rarely had any issues. Whenever there was a problem usually positioning the mic closer to your mouth is the solution - it's not great at picking up outside noise, which is an upside.
There are few things I can complain about too, but they're all pretty minor to me:
1 - the foam ear covers will only last about a year if you use them every day, compared to some headphones with more permanent covers. That said you can replace them for I think about $5 if you look around so it's not a big deal.
2 - When you're running out of battery the headphones will start making this ungodly beeping noise every 5-10 seconds. There's no way to say 'yep. I know. battery critical. Stop.' so if you're in the middle of a call that's a huge pain. This is also the only warning you really get that you're running out of power - there's a light on the headphones themselves, but if you're wearing them, you obviously can't see it.
3 - The receiver they connect to is a single receiver, not a Logitech unifying receiver, so you need a dedicated USB port if you are planning on using that form of wireless.
