These speakers work great, but I am not an audiophile by any extent, but they sounded great when I connected them to my desktop via both USB and Bluetooth and gamed. Watching movies/music was also good. But honestly my ears suck, so I can't say if the highs are perfect over something etc. I just know they sounded great and I enjoyed wearing them. No problems with them connecting to my phones either. They worked and worked well. Also they are comfortable to wear, I have glasses on and even though wearing them for hours at a time I never felt tired from wearing them, stayed on my head well and battery lasted without any issues. These are my gaming go to headphones just because they work well. Do note that these are 100% digital, so no audio 3.5 jack. They connect via Bluetooth or digital USB connection. On Windows 10, it didn't request any drivers though the manual did recommend changing the audio sampling to the maximum. First time I've seen those directions.
Overall I enjoy these headphones and don't hesitate recommending them.

Great sound, easy to operate controls, synced to all of my devices without a hitch. The phone call feature tested out fine and the ear phones cancel out background noise very well.
The headphones are very comfortable, light to wear, and very well made in general.
I'm looking at getting another couple pairs as gifts for family; I'd highly recommend these to others.

[ Sound Quality ]
I enjoy the clear presentation of the source audio that allows detail and nuance to shine through. I find the frequency balance agreeable for the most part, though there's some bias for higher frequencies, and I find the bass sub-par (which I compensate for with an equalizer). The maximum volume these headphones produce is rather anemic. With no active noise cancellation, these headphones rely on mediocre noise isolation. The built-in microphone, while functional, seems to have been an afterthought with phone calls and voice recording on multiple devices having the wearer sound distant, and the microphone sounding as if it's positioned in a tin can.
[ Comfort ]
I found the overall comfort level to be mediocre at best. The clamping pressure was slightly greater than I'd prefer. My ears (which I consider to be rather normal/average) pressed against the hard surfaces inside the cups/housing which became uncomfortable fairly quickly. The band is fairly thin, providing rather small surface area to spread out the weight of the unit, resulting in pressure that I found to be a persistent annoyance.
[ Functionality ]
Bluetooth reception distance seems rather limited compared to many other Bluetooth devices, but is likely sufficient for most usage scenarios. The implementation of the 'tap controller' is a disaster; double-tap vs. long-press recognition was poor in my experience, it provides no haptic feedback (which a button could easily have provided), is prone to unintentional triggering, and is positioned too closely to the volume slider. The volume slider is loose/jiggly, and the odd placement near the bottom of the left housing means volume adjustment is done with forward and backward movement rather than up and down, which I find rather unintuitive. Both the tap controller and volume slider are used for three or more different functions each, which can make operation cumbersome and potentially confusing. The three LED lights are more like a debugging output than a straight-forward status display, indicating one of many different types of statuses, each type with a different set of color and combination patterns. It seems the headphones can only be connected to one Bluetooth device at a time, and there is no manual Bluetooth connection management option, which can lead to problems. There doesn't seem to be any app for managing the device, which could have been an important asset. I find the implementation of a proprietary USB cable to be quite absurd, bordering on unacceptable by today's standards.

I cannot say enough good things about these headphones, from the moment I opened the box to the moment I started to listen to music I was grinning from ear to ear.
The sound quality on these headphones is awesome I know it sounds cliche but I was able to hear things on certain tracks I had never heard before with my old pair of headphones.
The build quality on them is very good, even though it is mainly made of plastic the headphones feel of high quality and very sturdy. my one and only gripe is that I do not like the play/pause touch button, it is a bit difficult to find and press and I would often time end up double tapping it and stopping and starting a song when I just wanted to stop it.
The sound quality is excellent a very clear clean sound, These are not bass heavy headphones, they have a good amount of bass that is not over done. If you are a person that likes a lot of bass these are not for you.
If you want a great sounding, great feeling quality pair of bluetooth heaphones then these are the ones for you.

I love these headphones, but nothing's perfect and there are little things that take away from the overall experience. Nothing deal breaking, but worth pointing out. Keep in mind, I'm more of an eclectic music listener that listens to a bit of everything; whatever fits my mood at the time. Also, be mindful that I'm using an LG V20 smartphone that has chip that can read advanced aptx HD codec. A few of the tracks I played are Hi-Res.
I've used some pretty decent headphones and earbuds before, but nothing in the $300+ range however. So, for what it's worth, that's the perspective I'm coming from.
These sound great for mostly everything, but it seems like it does depend on the production of the source material itself and now I know what many of the expert reviewers are saying when it comes to this. At first I thought these cans were better for certain types of music over others. Just the nature of the beast like with most headphones. But after listening to various types of music and different songs from each type, I've noticed that well mixed tracks will really shine, but it'll also expose the flaws of lesser ones as well. Every little detail comes through on these and that can blessing or a curse. I can actually hear the singers take breaths in between lines and hear details I never heard before. However on the flip side, for example imagine listening to a song with a cowbell in it. Instead of it being a compliment to the music and staying in the background, it now competes with every other instrument on the track. Almost like that Will Ferrell SNL skit, LOL.
On some music, that level of detail and depth is a great thing, but with others it can be a little distracting. Also, these can get a little bright on the higher ends of the spectrum. Nothing too harsh, just noticeable. Thankfully mosly all of the tracks sounded good to great overall, especially the Hi-Res music.
Those looking for bass will find it here. However, it's not as bass centric and boomy as say a pair of Beats. It's more controlled and tight that can dig deep if it's called for. However, bass-heavy tracks that depend on it for a little energy may suffer somewhat, but it depends on the listener as well. I'm not a big bass headphone type guy, rather, I like the more tight and refined bass type that can get deep when it needs to. With that being said, they worked well on most of the bassy songs I listened to. In fact, only one song by Missy Elliott was a little disappointing. When I wanted it to get really loud and take over the music the headphones just couldn't see itself going there LOL. They go deep, but not boomy so they may not be as "fun" as Beats with some songs, but definitely sound better.
The controls, as some have mentioned, are a bit touchy and lacking. But I found myself getting used to them a little quicker than I thought I would. You do have to concentrate to use them and they're just not as easy to use as some other headphones. But pairing Bluetooth was a snap and I don't even remember using buttons to do it. I just looked at my phone and it was there almost as soon as I turned the headphones on. No drops in signal either.
The build is fine, but they're on the creaky side because they're mostly plastic. I'm not too bothered by that because that makes them lighter and that comes across when you wear them because they are pretty comfortable, but it would have been nice to have a little metal on the ban or something to give them a little more durability. Not saying they're cheap feeling, but they don't feel like $300 either. I think they put most of the goodness and quality in the sound. Hey, that's not a bad thing.
Overall, I think these are the best sounding bluetooth headphones I've ever had, quibbles aside. Audio-Technica actually has a higher end pair of these that cost around $550 that are said to bring out even more detail. To be honest, I can't imagine anybody wanting even more than what these ready offer.
These for $300 though? Well, if these didn't sound as good using the new digital to digital technology I wouldn't get them. But as they stand I think it's worth it.

Sound is very clear and sharp. I like that the on/off control and volume are located on opposite ears. The fit is very tight. The reason for the 4 stars is the bluetooth range is not very far. About 20-30 feet tops, which means you have to keep your bluetooth source close.

I do like these headphones but I'm indifferent on the comfort level. The ear cups seem kind of small (or I have large ears that I'm only now realizing 35 years into my life). My ears feel like they are resting on the inside of the cups in these. It just feels, initially, kind of weird. I wouldn't say that that aspect makes them uncomfortable, though. Just something I noticed right away. The other part that I'm indifferent about is the amount of pressure they apply to my head. It's small, but I do feel like these squeeze my head a little harder than I'd like them to and could be an issue for you with prolonged use. I am not sure if they'd loosen up a bit after a while.
Sound sounds really good. I'm no audiophile so I can't comment on numbers or anything but just listening to music sounds really good. I also listen to mostly Apple Music so I can't comment on what kind of quality you're going to get with lossless audio or anything. Bass sounds good without sounding like they're trying to artificially overpower it. They get loud, if that's how you like to listen.
Controls are pretty minimalist. The power is an actual switch (haven't seen this in a while). The volume is a toggle slider (you slide it up or down and springs back to the middle). The "touch pad" thing they use for answering calls or play/pause takes a second to get used to where it is. It also has a little bit of a delay, so sometimes you'll hit it twice because you didn't think it registered and then it will just pause and play again right away. You can get used to it with time, though.
Overall, I'd recommend trying these on first before buying, but give them a few minutes to form an opinion because my instant impression was that they were going to be a lot less comfortable than they ended up being. Sound is good, but again, try before you buy to make sure they sound good to you because I don't have your special ears.

I found these to be great over-the-ear headphones that are very comparable to the best headphones on the market. The only negative mark against them is they lack noise cancellation. But if you’re not going to be using them in a noisy environment that won’t be an issue.
They fit snugly, yet very comfortably, on my large-ish head. I could move around pretty vigorously (not dancing, I swear) and they stayed in place perfectly. The NFC feature to automatically link the bluetooth worked perfectly. I also found the volume and play/pause controls easy to find by touch. Overall, they’re great headphones that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.

These are amazing headphones. I'm not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination, but I can tell you these headphones are crystal clear with great range, bright highs, and plenty of base. And they are really comfortable to boot.
I tested the range of the headphones with a few different devices and they work reliably up to 30+ feet away from the source with direct line of sight. And I found the 15 hour battery life estimate to be refreshingly accurate.
The "touch controller" feature is a nice addition. It's a small pad on the housing of the left side that with a touch allows you to play or pause music, answer calls, or even call into action your favorite digital assistant--I have a Windows Phone and Cortana works flawlessly, but I'm confident it will work just as well with Siri or Google Now. Locating the touch pad takes a little practice, but you get used to its position pretty quickly. You can also use the volume slider to play the next or previous track.
I have no reservations recommending the Audio-Technica ATH-DSR7BT headphones. They have excellent sound quality, range, and the built-in mic is an added bonus. You could spend more, but I don't know why you would.

I just hooked them up to my windows computer via USB and they installed themselves and I played some of my music. The sound is beautiful and well balanced not to much of anything like base but a beautiful mix of everything crystal clear sound. The only little nit picky thing I have is that you can hear outside sounds while playing music a little bit. Outside sound is drowned out but you can still hear some things if there is noise around you. The best thing for these particular headphones would be to listen to them in a quiet place. I feel like if you were walking down a busy street with these on you might not even be able to hear your music that well. These don't say any where that they are noise cancelling and so a noisy place is not great for these headphones.
