    Amazing headphones with excellent build quality and features.

    Amazing headphones with excellent build quality and features.
    *** UPDATE 5/23/16: Been using these for a while now. Still amazing headphones and use them daily! I feel like they got better over time as they were broken in but it maybe just me. Battery life is just as amazing (maybe even better). I charge them maybe like once every 2-3 weeks (with an average use of about 2-3 hrs a day).I, however, ended up dropping these once from a table and it dropped on the side. I thought the hinge on the side was metal, but looks like its just plastic. it cracked on the side as you can see in the pictures. There is another plastic under it that is thicker so i am not afraid that the hinge will come off. It would just look a little uglier. The build quality is still great for the price but i wish it was metal on the side. ****I bought these headphones because the reviews said it has great bass response. I am not an audiophile by any means. The box contains the headphones, 3.5mm cable (which can be used to connect the headphones to standard headphone jack even if they are dead, but you lose the bass boost), and microUSB charging cable. I am blown away by the quality of these headphones given the price. Crisp audio with amazing bass response. I have listed all the pros and cons below that I found after using them for about 3 months now. I use the headphones mainly with Samsung galaxy note 2 (which is running custom firmware) and my 2015 Macbook Pro.Pros:- Amazing bass output. the best I have ever heard from headphones. I have tried beats bluetooth headphones before and I think these headphones blows them out of the water. When playing songs with a lot of bass, I can feel the headphones shaking on my head.- Crisp and clear audio for any kind of music even if it is not bass heavy. I can now hear things in my music that I never knew was there before.- Great build quality. They feel very well built and something that could last a long time with proper care. I throw them around and carry them without a case, but I haven't yet noticed any problems (not that I suggest you do this). Overall, they feel very sturdy and like a quality product.- NFC. They may not matter for everyone but I love this feature. This is not just used for first time bluetooth pairing. Everything i was to connect my phone to my headphones, I just touch them to the NFC side of the headphones. This automatically turns on bluetooth on my phone, connects the headphones and starts playing my music. Touching them again will stop the music, disconnect the headphones and turn them off (It sadly doesn't turn off the bluetooth on my phone. I think it does this so if you have other devices connected, it doesn't turn off the bluetooth. I wish there was a option to customize this). This is simply amazing. I cannot overstate the usefulness of this feature for those that have NFC on their phones.- Battery life. I haven't measured the exact battery life but i have never ran out of battery on these headphones. I charge them maybe once every 2 weeks and I use them maybe 3-4 hrs a day. I charge them every 2 weeks not because the battery is drained but because i feel it has been a long time since i last charged them. I have no complaints and I do not ever have anxiety of not having enough battery (like I do with my phone). This is even less of a worry because I know if I run out of power, I can simply just plug in the headphone jack.- Range. Good range. I haven't tested its limits but I haven't yet had any disconnects due to being too far way.- No wires. This is a given since they are bluetooth headphones but its still a pro.- Comfortable. The ear muffs are soft leather and there is also some leather under the top curve where it touches your head. This results in a very comfortable fit and experience. I have had these on 8-9 hrs at a time and have never felt any loss of comfort- Also doubles as winter ear muffs. Due to the good leather fit around my ears, I have worn them from snow days to extreme cold and I have always felt warm. This isn't a feature of the headphones of course but its always nice.Cons:- Size. These headphones are very big. I do not really have a problem with this but it is very apparent. Due to their size, they also cannot be comfortable put around the neck. They either have to be on my head or completely off. This may differ from person to person but this is my experience.- Not waterproof. I knew this when i bought it and I have actually wore these headphones in rain/snow without any problems. but they state in the manual that these are not waterproof and shouldn't be used as such even in rain. So, sometimes I am afraid to wear these on rainy days.- Not great call quality. I have talked on these headphones a couple of times but I usually have to repeat myself couple of times in order for the caller to hear. Now, I mostly have made this call from noisy NYC streets, but I find myself switching to my phone earpiece when a call comes. For occasional use, I guess these will do fine but if you have extended conversations in noisier areas, I would not suggest these. Although, I see the phone call ability as really a bonus added feature and I do not really mind its imperfection.Overall, I think these are excellent headphones for the value. This is the first time I have spent this much money on headphones but I do not regret it. The quality is amazing and has very useful features. I would certainly recommend them to anyone who is looking for quality bluetooth headphones.
