The acoustics through the headphones is rich sounding and balanced between the two sides. The thing is , I feel the construction of them are not as adaptable, as I would have hoped. I have a small head and when it comes to putting them on over the head, they kept falling towards the front of my head so when I put them towards the back of my head , the fell towards the back. The cushioning on the ears is not the best quality, they started to peel the first two weeks, I bought them brand new. It didn’t get better in time but more so on the inner side of the cushioning and the crevasses is where it peeled the most. The charge on the headphones, I did not experience fully charged up to 40hours. They took a few hours for mine to get a full charge. And would last me a ... MoreThe acoustics through the headphones is rich sounding and balanced between the two sides.

But I did like that they were lightweight and have a slim look. Bluetooth was excellent when connecting.

Got these as a bday gift from the husband a ~2019. When I opened it, I was stumped. I hardly used headphones so I didn’t see myself getting much use from this gift… fast forward to pandemic lockdowns and these easily saved my sanity lol. Used it a lot for taking Bluetooth work calls while working from home. Then used it lots to block out noise while our child did online learning while I worked. The sound quality is so clear and the headphones are comfortable for long periods of use. For instance, I work 8hr days and was ok to wear them for most of my work day (breaks in between of course). Never would I have thought these would be so handy! Now I get the Beats x Dre hype. Plus they look pretty stylish on 👌🏽😎🎧

These corded, (cordless WASNT out yet), mine, were glossy blk w/ the RED b’s on the ears!!! Not white. Ok 👌🏼 got em- EVERYTHINGS FAMOUS!!!!!! It’s Christmas!!! Family’s in town!!!

Ok, I looooved the sound- the #QUALITY was PRIMO!!!!!!!

This is my 2nd pair of beats, my 1st pair was purchased about 9 yrs ago or so they are like the first beats ever made. I needed a wireless set and was looking for more sound because I make music. I love the headphones, the color and finish are so pretty and the functions/pairing/voice controls are all A1. The only reason I deducted a star was because after 9 yrs I was expected much better sounding headphones but they pretty much sound like the old ones yes from 9yrs ago. That's a small bummer but ok I understand they probably don't want to be responsible for hearing loss..lol... and i love big sound. The main purpose for the purchase was wireless functions and sound so I will give these headphones a 4... If they were louder they would be a 5 for me. I can't believe ... MoreThis is my 2nd pair of beats, my 1st pair was purchased about 9 yrs ago or so they are like the first beats ever made.

CRAB CLAW PINCHING HEADPHONES

These are the most painful headphones on the market! They feel like 2 CRAB CLAWS PINCHING YOUR EARS after a min of wearing them! I have owned these headphones for 2 years now, and they still pinch my ears after 2 yrs of use. Within a few mins of using them, my ears are red and hot. It hurts so bad!! I don’t even have that big of a head so I don’t know why it’s pinching my ears down like a hydraulic press. I’m not exaggerating! These headphones are evil. Also, I have tried everything to stretch them out so they don’t pinch as much, but only the headband part loosened and stretched out, so now they fall off my head when I move around, but it hasn’t stopped the headphones from pinching my ears!! Nothing I’ve tried will stop the painful pinching sensation. These ... MoreThese are the most painful headphones on the market!

Nothing I’ve tried will stop the painful pinching sensation. These headphones are torture. It’s like being punched in the ears the whole time you’re wearing them. The pain is severe. I have headaches and ear pain whenever I try to use them. Why did they make this pinching effect so extreme? It’s impossible to wear them for more than a few mins. I no longer use these headphones due to all the pain it caused. It doesn’t acclimate to your head or ear shape, and my ears really suffered from using them. It’s all pain and pinch! I’m mad and regret this purchase. The only good thing I can say about them is the audio is great and they’re only $99 if you wait for them to go on sale. But don’t pay full price for these. They’re def not worth it.

Decent for the price and best for smaller heads.

Overall these are ok. I have six ear piercings on one ear, and these don't bother them unless I have like a hoop or longer bar on my helix piercings. If you have ear piercings, wear studs/shorter bars with these. I also wear glasses. If you have thinner frames, it won't cause too much discomfort, but if you have thicker frames, perhaps it will since it'll put pressure on your ear. The battery life is good, although I'm not the type to have any earbuds/headphones on 24/7. So, I'm not sure exactly how many hours they last, but I think they'd last around a total of 15-20 hours before having to charge. Although after about 2 hours, I have to take them off and massage my ear a bit because they become uncomfortable and feel like a lot of pressure. My head isn't even big, ... MoreOverall these are ok.

Although after about 2 hours, I have to take them off and massage my ear a bit because they become uncomfortable and feel like a lot of pressure. My head isn't even big, but they become painful. Overall comfort is a 2/3 out of 5. The headband part doesn't bother the top of my head. My ears are where there is discomfort. Sound-wise, others around you will be able to hear the music you play if you are somewhere quiet such as a library. And I wouldn't say these are noise canceling. I can still hear my little nephew crying lol or my family talking (but they speak loud)lol. Personally, I don't mind that I can sort of still hear people around me/my surroundings because I like to be aware of my surroundings. I would recommend these for people with smaller heads, someone who doesn't plan on wearing them for too long, and someone who doesn't care much about noise cancellation/ still being able to hear your surroundings while listening to music. Overall, I wouldn't purchase these again. I'll invest in a better pair because my main concern is comfort, and the sound quality is alright. I think my Air Pods have better sound quality, although that might be because they're literally in my ear.

Economical and great sounding!

I want to address one of the cons that seems to plague many which is not a product defect. I have never bought a product of this type before and I know there is an expectation by some. I bought these curbside and had never tried them on. I suspect this is what is the cause of many negative reviews. 1. Try them on if you can before buying. 2. If you think you have a small head, try them on. My experience? They fit well in terms of head size. Because I did not try them on prior, I will say the ear piece is a bit small and would probably do best on a child or someone with smaller round? ears. Once I got them in the right position, I use them while riding my stationary bike and go up and down no issue. That is where the snug fit helps. They sound great but can really go ... MoreI want to address one of the cons that seems to plague many which is not a product defect.

They sound great but can really go noise canceling because of that snug fit. For being a product that appears to be for adults, I suppose is the only reason I would say I did not give a full 5 stars is for the size of the ear peice not accomodating an adult ear. Otherwise they work as described.

Honestly, meh

I have heard such great things about these, and they're kind of disappointing. They're not bad by any means, they sound great, but there's nothing extra like everyone seems to fuss over. I've heard WAY better sound quality, of course, it costs way more. My biggest disappointment, I'm in the big head gang, and these are not for us. They're extremely tight, and they're new. I'm hoping they'll stretch out a bit with use, but only time will tell. For now they're pretty uncomfortable on my ears in 20-30 minutes. I get it, everyone doesn't have a big dome, but yeah, if you do, might not be for you. That's the headphones. Unfortunately, the customer service was a negative on my star rating, but that's not because of the headphones though.

could better, could be worse

I bought these headphones about a month ago because I lost my Bose headphones somehow. Pros: -Good sound quality -Battery life has been great so far Cons: - They're pretty small. Both the size of the padding that goes around the ears and the length of the headphones themselves. I have a normal sized head and I wear glasses and the headphones are so tight that they press my glasses against the back of my ears which hurts. I can't wear them for more than an hour without feeling pain. It's not a problem if you don't wear glasses but just an FYI if you do. -I work from home and will listen to music on my phone and take calls from my laptop. The audio never automatically switches from my headphones to my laptop or vice versa, I always have to do it manually through ... MoreI bought these headphones about a month ago because I lost my Bose headphones somehow.

The audio never automatically switches from my headphones to my laptop or vice versa, I always have to do it manually through Bluetooth settings which gets pretty annoying. Not sure if there is a way to change this but if there is, it's not very intuitive. I'll probably return these and look to upgrade to the bigger Beats or switch back over to Bose.
