I like to walk for exercise and either listen to music podcast or youtube or talk with a friend or ChatGPT. I had previously bought a headset at $50-60 price point and was really disappointed. Not only in the fragile physical durability but in battery life and constant blue tooth disconnection and interference. So I upgraded to this one and very noticeable improvements in comfort, feel of durability but also sound and connection. There is even an awareness mode so when walking it lets in a little outside sound so you can hear cars at intersections and people or bikes coming up behind you. So far this is the best cell phone bluetooth headset I have ever owned. Will update if anything changes that but this is a solid buy.

Highs: - Excellent noise canceling performance - Really nice fit and finish, comfortable to wear - Excellent build quality and durability (hinges seem very sturdy) - Easy to use, with very functional touch control - Good design, not intrusive or overly flashy (sophisticated in my eyes) - Easy to connect and Google Assistant functions are great (i am using a Pixel 3A XL) - Updated firmware (auto prompted me this) upon connecting the first time - Versatile folding positions - Awareness mode (so I can be aware of the surrounding without having to take these off) - Super fast charging times Lows: - Not the lightest but understandable with the quality of materials they are using - MicroUSB and not USB-C - Power button sometimes take a bit longer to shut off (have to hold down more than 3 seconds) - 2.5mm jack in instead of 3.5mm - Not the most bass heavy (this is both a good and a bad, depending on taste) Summary: These are surprisingly a great pair of ANC headphones that performs just as well as the Sony WH-1000XM3, the gold standard in ANC headphones, while costing almost $100 less than the Sony! It isn't as functional when it comes to tuning its audio profiles but in terms of everyday usability and its ANC performance, it gets a 9/10 from me. Build quality is amazing for a sub $200 headphone, the leather, memory foam, hinges, and even the paint on the earcups are textured perfectly so that these should last a good few years of heavy usage with no worries. Audio quality is above average but it does lack the smartphone software that allows you to adjust the EQ and such on the headphones but I think this can be compensated by adjusting the EQ on the music player you are using. I tried playing some FLAC on a non-amplified line using the 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable that is included, it does a great job of delivering clear highs and mids without muddles from the bass. It definitely excels at the trebles, an indication that this is great for clear conversations too. And yes, calls are extremely clear when I use this for regular phone and VOIP conversations on my phone. Connecting to the phone is easy once it is paired, turning it on does the job automatically. Pairing is easy too, hallmarks of a good BT 5.0 implementation. It even show a picture of the PH805 on my phone after I click on its name in the Bluetooth devices. There are 3 excellent party tricks that makes this an excellent steal at $180 or so. 1. The 3 ways that it folds: flat fold, curl fold, and flat and curl fold (where it fits in the pouch) 2. Awareness mode turns down the music and broadcasts the environmental noise so that you hear whats around you easily and can carry a conversation with the person in front of you while wearing it, which is quite fun/funny but useful on commutes 3. Google Assistant: I actually started looking at my phone less and less now that I own this pair of headphones. Having Google Assistant able to read back any text messages, even messages in Line app because that function is enabled when wearing this headphone means that I can focus more on work and not get distracted by the many other things going on on my phone! And having the touch control on the earcup, without any additional markings, is a great design in nature. 4th bonus party trick: its touch control is really useful for turning up and down the volume, no more trying to find the volume rocker or buttons, just swipe at the right ear-cup and it adjusts the volume, although slowly.

Comfortable and good audio quality but the mic is lousy

Los encontre en oferta y son la mejor compra que he hecho, quede sorprendido de la calidad de audio y las funciones que trae por el precio, super recomendados Pro: Excelente calidad de sonido: los compare con unos airpods pro con cancelacion de ruido y realmente no note mucha diferencia, la principal no fue la calidad de sonido si no el volumen (ya que los airpods son in ear) pero no notaras mucha diferencia, en especial con los graves y la funcion ANC activa SUficiente bateria: el bluethoot es muy bueno y dura bastante tiempo la bateria, los uso pocas horas al dia y me llegan a durar hasta 3 semanas sin problemas, incluso cuando se empiezan a descargar y te avisan todavia tienes una hora aproximada para seguirlos usando Complementos: incluye su estuche muy bueno para protegerlos y comodo, tambien incluye cable jack 3.5 para disfrutar de HiRes en cualquier dispositivo y con la musica en el formato adecuado Precio: a comparacion de otros con los que lo he comparado, y tomando en cuenta que los encontre en oferta, realmente es lo mejor de todos sus aspectos Contra: Funciones touch: si bien se agradece que tenga el volumen en forma de touch, molesta que la activacion del ANC tambien sea touch y se desactive por equivocacion al agarrar los audifonos o querer subir o bajar el volumen HiRes solo por cable: la funcion del HiRes solo esta disponible cuando se escuche por cable, es comprensible pues si se deseara por bluethoot tendria que tener un chip mas poderoso y dedicado lo cual lo haria mas caro

I use them in the office. It's an open space and I make a lot of phone calls. God voice quality, Good microphone quality, Good noice cancelation! can connect to multiple devices: I connected to my iPhone and Mac, meaning, I can listen to the music from laptop and if I have an incoming call on my iPhone, it comes through too. no need to disconnect from Mac and connect to iPhone back and forth. Also most importantly: It is OVER the ear, Not ON ear - So it does not touch your ears at all, which is the best quality of this earphones.

Edit: the foam in the head band is exposed as the plastic containing them has parted after occasional use. Returned with Amazon covering purchase price and postage. I did enjoy them! --- At first I hoped these would be USD$1500 Grado beaters. When they were not and when the EQ profile was not just as I liked, I hoped to find their endearing qualities. I settled into them. Nothing is objectionable and everything is adequate or better. The HF is clear enough, as are the mids and lows, and these remain distinct from each other. I've warmed to these, enjoying the cavernous yet clean bass. Of course, I want to like them and still I do like them. The absolute quality is no more tha the $s handed over. The satisfaction is that these cans are noise cancelling, BT v.5 and acquit themselves admirably.
