These headphones wireless charge lasts days not hours. They charge at a moderate pace and easily sync with my mobile devices, iPhone and iPad, the Alexa voice assistant is a nice extra that is convenient and I wasn’t necessarily looking for but grateful it’s added. Coupled with my Amazon Music I listen for hours skipping songs without having to touch my devices. Calls are clear and I don’t have to raise my voice like I did with my earbuds. The bass and noise canceling work well, sometimes to well when people are trying to speak to me.
They are comfortable to wear and have heft without being bulky or heavy. Even while being used wired the cord is lengthy enough as to avoid needless jerking. Superficially I like the green color and was looking to avoid austere colors like black or white.
Some drawbacks are the instructions are cumbersome and the font size is light and microscopically tiny. It feels like I have to take the headphones off to utilize some of the functions( off/on switch volume and Bluetooth) it seems like they could have been placed better or on separate earphones. For the price these oversights are easily forgiven.
If you’re looking for an upgrade on your wired or wireless headphones and need a cost effective model with nice extras these headphones are great. If your an audiophile you may need to look elsewhere.
Very comfortable and excellent battery life. I wish they could get a bit louder but understand that many headphones and mp3 players these days are limiting volumes to protect hearing.
