Si lo que buscas es un bajo falso y emulado, no compres estos audifonos, en cambio, si buscar un sonido muy puro y manipulable con un EQ, adelante.
Los uso todos los dias, son muy comodos buen sonido y la bateria me dura toda la semana!

This is a revised review. I bought thee in March 2020, and although I wouldn’t call them ‘audiophile quality’, they do the job I intended. At the gym they are light and unobtrusive, and they SEEMED TO stay snug while walking/jogging/etc. Decent sound quality (a tad ‘bassy’ imho), plenty of quality to listen to streaming news or Spotify while exercising.
In March, I used these when walking, working out, or doing yard work. In April I did not use them at all (sick). In May, resumed use. By Mid-July, these phones had begun to lose the ‘memory shop’ of the band that goes across your head…. so much so that the thing would just fall off my head if I was the slightest bit sweaty due to activity. So I began to store them with a tight rubber band squeezing the ear pads together in the hope that the phones would ‘snug back up’ on my head. Seems to work, but only for a short time (like less than an hour), then why become very loose again and are almost more trouble than they are worth. Bottom line: Decent sound for the price, but the quality of construction (usability) is. very bad. Unless I am wearing a hat or sweatband, these thing don’t stay in place. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

I really like the color and sound, I can barely hear my surroundings if I’m on the headphones which I love. Bute the leather pads on the headphones comes off two tiny spots, like in the pic. I was struggling if I should return it or just keep it.

Buenos audífonos por un precio económico
————–
PROS:
Su material a pesar de ser 99% plástico se siente de calidad.
Tienen cancelación absoluta de ruidos, o al menos eso sucede si se empareja con una Dongle USB marca EDUP que tiene Antena y que transmite WIfi 2.4/5.8Ghz y Bluetooth (modelo: EP-AC1690).
Tiene excelente alcance y fácilmente llega a los 10 metros aunque se atreviese un muro, transmisión de 360°.
Buen volumen para música y se siente agradablemente los bajos.
—————–
CONTRAS:
Cable incluido es demasiado corto, como de 15CM, y tiene el defecto de que al intentar conectarlo a los audífonos entra muy forzado pues se suma a la entrada un poco angosta —ambas piezas cable y entrada parecen tener un problema de tamaño. Mejor use un cable universal micro USB para evitar que se dañe entrada de audífonos.
Causa interferencia cuando se reactiva (de estar apagado) un ratón inalámbrico y se encuentra cerca de audífonos, aunque es interferencia leve pues se corta un poco el audio por un par de segundos y después de so parece no afectarle.
El control de volumen general en Windows no puede controlar el volumen de los audífonos, pues este no disminuye o aumenta volumen, solo logra silenciar si se baja hasta cero. Solo el volumen independiente de los programas reproductores de multimedia logra controlar volumen, como por ejemplo el reproductor de Youtube, y también funciona bien el volumen de los botones de los audífonos, y muestra que cambia la cifra del volumen general, aunque si se intenta subir o bajar el volumen indicado en el volumen general este no hace ningún efecto en los audífonos, es más como solo números que muestran el supuesto volumen en pantalla, y que solo se pueden cambiar realmente con los métodos que ya describí.
El tipo de audio que viene configurado de fabrica en los audífonos es más adecuado para escuchar Música que diálogos, como por ejemplo de programas, series o películas, pues se escucha siempre en modo 3D, con un poco de eco en las voces. Aunque es algo que se puede corregir si se logra utilizar algún filtro o ecualización de audio, lo cual no siempre es tan sencillo, pues en Windows por ejemplo los filtros adecuados como el de Dolby no son gratuitos.
—————–
Aclarando desinformación sobre de que si se puede averiguar porcentaje de batería:
Hay quienes aseguran que no existe forma de saber que porcentaje de batería le queda a los audífonos, debido a que no encontraron la forma, pero esto no es acertado y les mostrare al menos un método usando Windows 10.
Para poder ver el nivel de batería que le queda a los audífonos usando Windows 10 es de la siguiente manera.
Inicio —> Configuración (icono de engrane)—-> Dispositivos
Y ya entrando en esa ultima opción verán en el apartado de “Audio” aparecen los audífonos y a su lado derecho mostrara porcentaje de batería

Disregarding the price of the 400BT vs the 500BT, these are unfavorable.
They don’t have as slim a fit to the head so they look very “wide” on smaller heads. The padding is more squishy so while they’re comfier out of the box, they might not have as good of a lifespan.
The bass is punchier and booms more at the expense of having the mids and treble blend together to be quite muddy.
I like bass, but as a casual musician myself (synth keyboard, classical piano, electric guitar, MIDI instruments on DAW, using Audacity and ModPlug for chiptune samples) I much prefer being able to hear every instrument individually which these simply can’t handle compared to the 400BT model.
While these are currently about 2x less expensive — if you’re a stringent audiophile, the 400BT have crisper treble and mids so you can hear every instrument rather than having the upper two mud together, if that makes any sense.
I’ve been comparing them directly on the same songs to ensure my review is accurate (as well as switching halfway through songs for a very thorough comparison). I listen to music a few hours a day so comfort, headphone life, and individual crispness in instruments are important to me.
I’ll be returning these because I know the padding under the plastic headband has more give and won’t last as long so they’ll start to pinch at and “bite” the top of my head pretty soon. The fabric band of the 400BT is comfier for me with firmer padding which will probably last longer.
But I do have a small-ish head — motorcycle helmet size XS/S, one-size ballcaps usually need to be done up most if not all of the way, need form-fitting toques/beanies or they will fall off my head.
They’re comfier than the MPOW 059’s I used for a year and a half (which didn’t die but did cause tension headaches because I wear glasses and the MPOWs are much heavier feeling and “clamp” very hard) — so if you’re considering those, these might be an upgrade for only about $10 more; but they’re really losing out on having individual instruments being nice and sharp and crisp compared to the 400BT model; though the bass does reverberate more on this 500BT pair and they do get louder depending on the song.
I’ve tried them on punk/grunge, electropop, alternative rock, and 70’s prog if that helps with some context; as that’s what I usually listen to.
For another brand comparison, I use ~$200-300 (mid-to-highish end) Sennheisers when on my computer (have a gaming and studio monitoring pair).
So if you want that kind of sound, go with the 400BT model instead.
If you like muddier music as long as the bass booms and your budget is under $100, then go with these. They’re a little better than the MPOW059s for an extra $10.
I also own a JBL Flip 3 speaker that’s lasted about 5 years and still going with a really great sound quality for a water resistant speaker under $100 (almost as good as Bose for about 1/3 the cost). So those saying JBL is a cheap Chinese knock-off brand or something are incorrect from my experience.
I don’t use a case with my headphones or speakers (yet) but I am careful with them and don’t just toss them around, so I can’t speak for durability if you like to throw and abuse your headphones, lol. But the ears do swivel on both pairs, which is a new feature I’m enjoying so far (not “stiff” and fixed to the headband like the other pairs I’ve tried.).
TLDR; Decent. Better than MPOW059.
Less flattering, less potential longevity, less balanced sound, and less comfy on the top of the head than the 400BTs which are about twice the cost, so YMMV depending on how serious you are about headphones.

I needed a pair of wireless headphones for the gym and was not willing to pay $200+ for some headphones i’m only going to use for the gym and sweat in them. I found these and was a bit nervous about the quality but they have worked perfectly. Battery life is amazing (I think 16hrs battery life). I honestly charge them like once every two weeks and use them for about 5 hours a week.
They do feel a bit loose on your head after while but it is not a big deal. I can imagine the fit would be a bit big for someone with a small head. Anyway, i got mine in pink and they are so pretty. I love them and most of all I love that I spent less than $100 and got just what I needed/wanted. Definitely recommend! $50 well spent!

If you’re anything like me, you’ll read hundreds of reviews and spend countless hours researching and comparing products especially if you’re spending more than $20 on it and you’re frugal and hate returning items often…. ok enough about me! Here is my in-depth review;
These head phones are **nice** for the price. I am very happy with the over all quality, the feel, the color, the sound quality and the amount of noise blocking. The volume gets very loud with out distortion, the bluetooth range is **awesome**, no joke, you can walk from room to room, inside to outside etc. with out glitches. I tested the battery life, it says it holds up to 16 hours and so far its up to 20 hours. A neat feature is that they will turn themselves off after about 20 minutes or so if you aren’t playing anything, I like this feature because I do often forget to turn my headphones or speakers off and then the battery is dead when I come back to them blah blah blah. The buttons are in perfect spots and there are **only the buttons you need**; Volume up/down and the power button that also doubles as the bluetooth call button. The rotation is great it doesn’t feel flimsy at all, the ear pads are snug and comfortable. The Pink color is very true to the picture, I was secretly hoping the pink would be just a touch, uhh, pinker I guess but its really not an issue at all, just a personal color preference thing. These would make GREAT **Kids** headphones!!
Ok, now for some slight cons. Like I said the ear pas are snug are comfortable **On Me!** I have a smallish head and the grip is boarding on *tiiight* but I like that because I move around a lot during the day and I need these babies snug. If you have an issue with things gripping your head tightly or you have a big head, they might not be comfortable for you. My 4 year old can easily wear them if that tells you anything. The material on the inside of the headband that cushions your head and that covers the ear pads is, well… delicate feeling. I feel like I’m going to rip it every time I touch it! I’ve only had these for 24 hours and they’re in tact so far but seriously do not wear sharp earrings with these.
The power chord is suuuuuper short unfortunately. I have a JBL speaker and the power chord to that is nice and loooong. You cannot wear these while they are charging, the chord will not allow it. If you have another JBL power chord that is longer you can.
O.k. and lastly this was totally my bad, but remember how I said I researched meticulously for exactly what I was looking for? Well I was almost Curtain**** that I read in the description that they came with a headphone jack chord but they don’t… oops. I really wanted to use them with my blue yeti to record but I will just have to save up for expensive ones I want **eye roll************
To the maticulous online shopper, I hope this was helpful. Happy Shopping!

Love it. Great sound

I was hesitant about buying these bc of some of the reviews, but I’m glad I did!!!!! First off, they are plastic, so why complain about the plastic? Secondly, I’m not very tech savvy but was able to connect these to my phone and older model(not smart) tv thru my roku(roku app for phone makes every roku model voice controlled). Thirdly, if you are breaking these, you arent taking care of them. For $10 you can buy a case for these headphones on amazon and for $6 you can purchase a 3 year warranty. Idk why people are complaining about the sound. I listen to my music loud and have speakers in my car trunk and I still havent had to turn these up all of the way! I’m glad I didn’t fork over $200 for more expensive headphones!!!!! $65 for unit, case, and 3yr warranty. I’m all smiles. Now I can binge watch my shows while my gf sleeps. Buy them! You wont be disappointed!!!!!

I was tired of BEATS. THEY ARE CRAP. I wanted quality headphones that I’d were inexpensive so if they broke I wouldn’t feel pissed. Thee are doing the rick. I live in front of a highway. Input them in while on my patio and ca t hear traffic.
Kimberly Arslan –
I wore these for 15 days straight till the battery died. I normally do a 1-2 hr sesh. They also fit very nice around my head. I have a small a** head and they don’t fall off when I do abs or look down. You just gotta be careful cause they fold in and can punch your finger. It’s only happened once tho and I’ve had them for a couple months now.

Son buenos audifonos casí en cualquier as’pecto, pero tienen un problema que me parece bastante molesto. Cuando la música es silenciosa se produce de fondo un ruido blanco, que solo se interrumpe en silencio total, esto no me deja disfrutar del todo de lo que estoy oyendo. Ya probe revisar si hay interferencias y no es así. El problema parece venir de los audifonos.
