I can keep these on my head all day. I use them for both work and gaming, so they sound great and the noise cancellation on the mic is perfect so coworkers/friends can’t hear what’s going on in the background

I want to start off with this headset is pretty great. Audio sounds amazing I sometimes use the headset for music. As for battery life it’s not bad I feel like I get a good 5 hours before I need to plug it in. Now for the issue, I bought the headset in January and kinda use it everyday for multiple hours, the headset was making the low battery noise but as soon as I plugged it in and it died and won’t turn it back on. If anything else happens I’ll update this post.

So I bought these headphones for the wireless aspect of it. Although overall, the headphones are pretty great, the main criticism I have is with the audio quality. Similar to another review, the quality of the audio is kinda iffy. The best way I can describe it is stuffy. Although you can get used to it fast, when I compared it to my prior headphones, the difference was very noticeable. If you’re budgeting, however, I wouldn’t mind recommending these headphones.

Comfort and quality are excellent. Noise cancellation is good, the mic is clear and very sensitive. As far as a gaming headset goes, they are a great choice especially at this price. My only complaint that keeps them from 5 stars is that they have no way to know how much charge they have, or the connection status. They don’t have the “synthesized voice” that many headsets have to tell you when they connect or what charge they have. There are no indicator lights beyond a single green LED. The “beep tones” are very basic (power on, mic mute, etc) old-school “beep beep” type tones. I expect more from a modern device, and other competitors at the same price point have better indicators. Aside from that, very good headset for the price! Definitely recommended.

I am listening/watching a movie from my phone with these cans (headset ) connected. This morning I was playing a FPS game with some friends in MP (Multiplayer) using these and talking to my mates.
The sound has been configured by the DTS X Sound Unbound App and I can say that the sound is coming out pretty good, I cannot call it great because I have had better sound experiences prior to these. I feel the sound comes in a bit off somehow, not sure how to describe it, You can definitely hear that you are listening in headsets, it feels a bit enclosed and not like the surround or sound you would feel in a studio or theater setting which I have experienced with more expensive sets. Still, for the price you cant really expect that from these, the sound is good enough to make out pencil scratching, footsteps, the various sound-stages from explosions, the engine revs from vehicles and other small background sounds from various scenes.
The feel of the set is ok, they are lightweight but I can still feel them wearing them, they have a firm press against your ears which also helps closing out the sounds from around you, I can still hear the A/C and other people if they talk but it is very faint. They feel a bit plasticy and if you touch the cups you will hear it clearly the same if you touch the cord, you can hear that something is touching the cord, so set everything up accordingly if that is something that will annoy you. The foam pads are soft and stiff at the same time, not uncomfortable but you can definitely feel that you are wearing them.
I love that the volume control is inline (on the cord) vs. on-board (on the cup), it has a mute button on the inline as well which I prefer from when it is connected to the microphone and you need to unfold the mic to mute, those have a tendency to wear-out. According to my mate they hear me loud and clear when I am talking, even if the mic is unfolded they can hear me but with less clarity.
The cord is just right for my set-up, I use a Surface Pro 10 so the phono input is just behind the screen on the hard-drive so it is enough to reach where I am sitting. I can see this being too short if you have a stationary next to you on the floor or similar, then you might need an extension. The extension that comes with it is made for connections that has a separate mic input and a headphone input, I only have one so I cant use the extension if i wanted to, a pet peeve would be to include an extension cord for only single inputs, or even better just make longer cords, it is easy enough to wind up the cord if it is too long vs. getting extensions which most people do not have available and would need to buy before being able to use their headsets.
