Major design flaw
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality1 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5As far as quality goes, I’d expect to pay $20 or less for these all plastic, flimsy head phones. But beyond that there is a critical Design flaw that makes them unusable. Note that the head band curves in and up in the middle between the earphone extensions. This leaves two bumps that will dig into either side of your head. It hurts and makes it impossible to wear them for any amount of time. See my pic so you can see exactly what I’m talking about.

Excellent pair of headphones on a budget
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5These were bought to replace a pair of in ear Skull Candy that I lost at work. They really are great and they still allow you to hear what dangers are around you while listening to music or your audiobook. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good set of over the ear headphones.

Poor quality
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Features
Quality1 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use1 out of 5I bought this for my son at the start of this online learning due to school closing. It broke within a couple of weeks. Had to put tapes around it until bought a new one, but not this item. No wonder it was half off. I would never buy this product again.

Stopped working after first use
Posted .I thought it was great. But after the first use, it just went dead. No light, I Charged it for several hours. Then It was paired with Aluratek Universal receiver and transmitter. I watched TV and listened to Syrius about 6 hours. For those 5 hours it had great performance. good low end; needs more mid and peak volume wasn't very high.

Kids Home School / Quiet Time
|Posted .Owned for 6 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5On the recommendation of a friend, we bought a few of these for our kid to use during home school and quiet time. The Bluetooth connection is rock solid, never drops out. We have had them for 6 months and they have never failed to maintain connection once on two different iPads with kids using them. One fell apart, and honestly, we probably unplugged it too roughly. They replaced it free of charge via warranty. Couldn't be happier.

Asked by Hd.
