On-ear Supra-aural USB-C Headphones with Adjustable Headb
I want to start off by saying I'm not any kind of audiophile. I have no expertise on sound quality or the like, so keep that in mind when reading further. Any notes on sound quality should be taken with a grain of salt (though I won't dwell on that much).I use these headphones on a daily basis for my job. I am an IT help-desk agent for my job, meaning I am constantly on the phone. This requires a headset with acceptable sound quality, a good microphone, and most importantly, sustained comfort. These headphones have provided exactly what I needed.I mentioned before that I'm no audiophile, but the sound quality is great for any average user. I don't listen to a lot of music, but podcasts sounds nice and crisp. The output volume is great, and can reach levels above what I'm comfortable using when listening on an iPhone. My normal use at my job is all analog phone quality audio, so most of the time high quality audio isn't even an option. But, these allow me to hear my calls just fine (and are great when making calls on iPhone, too - Facetime audio sounds as crisp as anything).There are issues with sound bleed. At mid-level volumes, people nearby will be able to hear some audio coming from the headphones. Also, as on-ear headphones, they have zero noise cancelling. I am not docking them any points for this, as that's sort of par for the course with on-ears. If you need noise cancelling and zero sound bleed, try another kind of headphone (over-ear or earbuds).The microphone picks up fairly well. I've done some audio tests with the sound recorder on my iPhone, and it seems to have pretty good range. No replacement for a studio mic or anything, but it's more than acceptable for normal use. Siri/voice commands work with no issues. I also use these as a headset with my PS4, and I've had no complaints when playing with friends (though, the quality of voice chat over PSN is less than great). At work, I have to wrap the cable around the ear-muff to bring the microphone closer to my mouth for better clarity when talking to users on the other end. I don't think that is worth docking a star, as it doesn't affect the fit or feel when I do it, but I think it should be mentioned.What I was most surprised by is the level of comfort with these. I have pretty sensitive ears, and they are pretty easily fatigued when wearing headphones. I've had many, many pairs of over-ear phones that give me ear pain after about an hour of use. These, however, are comfortable for the 5 to 7 hours I wear them at my job. The foam on the earpads is thick and will actually mold to my ear shape after a bit. The foam rounds back out overnight, so it doesn't pack in and lose padding. The earpads also have a decent range of vertical and horizontal rotation on its pivot point (which is a ball pivot). This should accommodate most ear shapes.The headband is aluminum, which gives them a little rigidity, but is flexible enough to not clamp too hard on your head. It's also quite light, though maybe heavier than plastic would be. The band is also designed so the connectors on the earpads can adjust about 3/4 of the way to the top of the band before they slide out. This means the headphones have a wide range of fit, and can be disassembled for easy storage, as well as customization.The headphones come with 3 pairs of earpad connectors - the part attaching the earpads to the headband. I purchased the black/black colorway, which came with black, red, and green connectors. These slide out of the headband by adjusting them towards the top, and pop off the earpads by pulling them off with a moderate tug.Construction seems great. The aluminum band appears to be anodized, the earpads are a high quality foam, and the cups and connectors are sturdy plastic. They're constructed with individual cables for each earpad, and they connect at a large rubber joint, joining into a single cable (about a meter long from the joint), which ends at a 90-degree angled 8mm audio jack. The cabling is all rubber coated, and is a fairly thick gauge throughout.If you have any questions, or if there's anything I may have left out, please leave a comment and I'll try to update quickly!
