2 Years one month!
Finally one of the padded earcups has a tear and the foam is showing. I can't feel the difference but I will but a new set of replacement cups for $10 - $15. Maybe they'd last longer if I wiped them down sometimes?
They still work like the day I got them. I use them every day.
2 Year Review Update!
Still going strong! Still hold a great charge, no connection issues. I use them every night for several hours.
No damage, all the buttons work, the padding is fine, no tears or wear. They look and operate like brand new. I love these things.
If you can get them for around $100 or so do not hesitate.
Updated Review #5 3/12/2022
Still great! No issues whatsoever. Price is currently $129, I'd do it at that price. No disconnections. Noise cancellation makes my window fan almost silent while not noticeably affecting sound quality. Can't hear the roommates. I'm in my own world with these on.
I use these for watching videos on a PC where I can EQ and raise the volume more than someone with a phone. I use them on my phone too, but my audio player has a way to boost the sound so that I can play them extra loud if I want to.
Updated Review #4 11/10/2021
Still working great after almost a year now, still comfortable. Still 5 stars. I use them every night for several hours. Still holds a long charge.
Updated Review #3 5/27/2021
Still working great, I love these things. Paid a little less than $100. Holds a charge great. Never drops the signal. Ever. I use them every night to watch movies and they're fantastic.
I am no longer bothered by the ear cups no matter how I wear them. Maybe they softened up a little. These are bad ass!
Updated Review #2 1/29/2021
Okay I got these headphones to fit comfortably. I hope I can explain this. Back to 5-stars.
I put the headphones on, then I swivel the cups forward, like putting more pressure near my temple (front of the ear), and less pressure on the back part of the ear (that sticks out from my head).
The mistake is trying to fit them evenly over my ear, or flat against my head. At least for me. The cups are simply too small (they should be bigger!). Making this adjustment makes them fine for hours. I have no discomfort and the sound quality is not changed at all.
I still think the narrow ear design is flawed (I believe I said "stupid" earlier), but the sound quality and price I paid keep these at 5 stars.
And I repeat, for better and louder sound on a PC, I recommend the FREE "Equalizer APO". It EQ's all sounds coming from your computer to the headphones and speakers. Also download another free program called "Peace" to control the EQ easier. Way easier.
Updated Review 1/19/2021
These are uncomfortable after prolonged use. I can watch a movie, but after that it is sometimes a bit painful. The ear pads are poorly designed and I am looking to replace them. They are too narrow, I really don't understand why they were designed this way.
Just looking at them tells you they are not made to fit over the ear of a human being. I just don't see how you can screw up that part of a headphone design. It's dumb.
I paid $99 for these less than two months ago, now they are $146. If I'd paid $146 I would definitely return them, but for the price I paid I'm hoping I can find better ear pads instead. They sound great and I like everything else about them.
I also may have found a way of positioning them so that they are more comfortable, but seriously why should I have to? I shouldn't even know I'm wearing them after a few minutes. What a stupid design.
-------------------------
This is my first pair of wireless headphones and I am very happy with them.
They sound so much better than the cheap wired ones I usually get, and I used to think they were pretty good! I didn't know what I was missing before. Now I can re-watch some movies with incredible sound!
I can see why some people will find the ear cup padding uncomfortable. I may end up replacing them, but if I adjust them over my ears right then I really don't have any problems. They could be a little wider though and I do have to move them a little sometimes. This is the only issue that could remove a star from my review, but like I said, so far I'm fine with it so all stars are intact.
The sound is very clear and they do a good job covering the entire frequency range. I use Equalizer APO for my Windows machine, so whatever I run through the speakers or headphones is custom EQd. That makes a giant difference!
The battery life kicks butt! They last so long I forget to recharge them. it's just not something I have to do very often :)
For the first few weeks I could hit the center of the volume "rocker" button and it would tell me how much battery life I had left. I can't get that to work anymore. No biggie though. It will warn me if there is less than 12 hours left anyways when I turn them on.
The noise cancellation works well. But really the full cup nature of these headphones deal with most noise without the need of electronics. If I wear these with no sound playing I can't hear much in the way of noise.
I could do without the button that handles the track skipping and pausing. I sometimes hit it instead of the volume by mistake and my movie starts over from the beginning. I use a mouse for that stuff so I don't need it. I just take an extra moment to make sure I don't do that. Maybe I can put some tape over it. A lot of people like this feature so I'm probably in the minority.
I paid about $99 for these and I am very happy. They could be louder on the phone though, but my music app has a volume boost that I can use. On the PC I can make them as loud as I want.
I love not tripping over the wire of my old headphones anymore, or rolling over the wire with my chair. Such an annoyance! Wireless is awesome!
The sound quality is very good. Wireless headphones downsample the audio before streaming to your ears, but with these I can't tell. They are also HD in that regard - they transmit a higher quality sound. And if you're really picky you can plug them in with the cord and get full sound. I can't tell the difference.
I had to buy a Bluetooth adapter so I got one here at Amazon. get Bluetooth 5! I had an issue getting all this to work, but once I figured it out they work great.
I did a ton of research before buying these. I look forward to watching movies and listening to music more now. I highly recommend them, they are awesome!

Bland Design | Flat Sound | Mediocre ANC
I am a fan of Sennheiser and have used its products in the past. But this pair of active noise-canceling headphones is a true letdown! Pros 👍👍👍 - Build: Solid with no creaks or gaps.- Compact: They fold down and pack small.- Comfortable to wear with room for adjustment.- Versatile: they can be used wired & wireless.- Battery Life: up to 30 hours with USB-C fast charging.- It comes with a carry case.- 2-year warranty is commendable.Cons 👎👎👎 - Controls: A bunch of buttons crammed together with no rhyme or reason, no labeling, and no easy way to navigate by touch! 😑- Voice Prompts: It tells you everything, except for the one thing you need the most—it won’t tell when ANC is on or off! It’s infuriating! 😤- Active Noise Canceling (ANC): It makes a difference, but it’s negligible at best!- Audio Tuning: Everything sounds flat and lifeless, with volume bouncing up and down inexplicably! 😳- No Proximity Sensor so they don’t pause when take them off which is real nuisance 😑- SE stands for Special Edition, but I can’t figure out what's so special about them. Seriously, what is it?🤔- The Price You Pay: At $200 MSRP, this set is a hard sell! On sale for $80, it’s still a pass for me! Pay a few bucks more and get a Sony WH-CH720N, or if you’re on a really tight budget, get Anker’s Soundcore Q20 for $40–$60.My Verdict 🧐 I am not here to bash Sennheiser or throw shade at its good name, but I cannot in good conscience recommend this product, especially if you’re planning on using it while traveling. Skip this or suffer buyer’s remorse! You may think I’ve come down hard on Sennheiser in this review, and maybe I did, but those headphones are the worst I’ve ever come across, except for only the Koss KPH7, but those were $20 and made no claims to greatness!I hope my review will help you make a more informed buying decision 👍😊✌️
