First of all I'll just say, everyone's taste is subjective so with that in mind... I really expected a great sound from these headphones considering they are an Apple brand and the top of the Beats line. Right off the bat I noticed the bass sounded muddy and distorted, the high range was muted and almost muffled sounding. I tried adjusting the EQ to no avail, taking the bass down just reduced the overall sound quality. I thought maybe, it was just the quality of the recording I was listening to so I broke out my old, 50 dollar Sennheisers (wired) and the difference was shocking. The Sennheisers were so much sharper with no distortion. Bottom line, I sent the Beats back and bought a new pair of wireless Sennheisers. As I said, your results may vary.

i have airpods but i hoped to get these to solve the problem of my ears getting waxy and the airpods falling out... obv they stay on my head but they are a bit tight and hurt after using for a while i also got these to help my cable management on my computer... my previous headphones were wired and the mic didnt work so i had a seperate mic that took yet another usb port on my laptop. I got these heaphones with the idea that they were very much 100% wireless... They are if you only have one audio source on ur computer. However lets say you want to watch youtube and have lofi music playing on spotify at the same time, you need to use the audio jack. In my case i wanted to play a video game and talk in discord at the same time, but i quickly noticed that the audio quality dropped significantly and my friends complained of mic issues. I also found out that the audio jack is only one way, meaning the L shaped end MUST connect into the headset and the straight end in the computer (or else the mic doesn't work). On the bright side using these with my iphone wirelessly was perfect and seemless (but airpods do the same) i think the only thing i have left to say is that my hair gets caught on the headphones quite a bit and that is very annoying

Their sound is ok, not amazing, not bad. I am in a profession where I am using headphones constantly on a daily basis and go through multiple per year. These have been some of the most uncomfortable over long periods that I have worn. Connections with macbook are quick. The microphone function was never a reason I bought them, but was not very good when I did use it. There are better choices, and for the money, these do not seem very "premium"...

I bought these to run with. On my first run, the right side started rattling. The sound and comfort of the headphone was good, but the rattle is a no go. I am returning and repurchasing to make sure it is just a random defective and not an overall quality issue.

I'm not a huge audiophile, so some of the specs are lost on me, but I think the overall sound is good, including the noise cancelation. It's even more awesome that using the Bluetooth for phone calls works well. I've used other Bluetooth headsets and earbuds for calls, and they all had an audio delay and/or poor sound quality for whoever I was talking to, even when it was crystal clear on my end. The biggest downside to me is that the control buttons feel cheap and don't always respond easily, especially if you don't press the pickup/pause button right in the middle very firmly. There's no margin of error and it's easy to miss calls. The Bluetooth audio also periodically drops, even though I didn't change anything or move my phone away from my headphones, and I had to reset the headphones and re-pair the Bluetooth several times. I had my first pair replaced but the second does the exact thing. With all other Bluetooth devices I've used, I have never had this issue even once. Maybe this headset just doesn't like the Samsung Galaxy series. It's been a nuisance, but not a deal-breaker so far. Overall, I'm still decently happy with these.

Very disappointed when I use it the television sound is muted.

Ordered the noise canceling overhead Beats. Totally disappointed that they don't hold a charge. Turning them on causing them to start losing a charge. Less than an hour in, they are at 50%.

Where the ear muff connects to the headband, broke. Only hanging by wire.

Aesthetics are very pleasing. However, the sound is by far the most low quality of this brand to date. There is low to zero bass And no way of adjusting anything.

These headphones are supposed to be super deluxe fantastic headphones. Even though I bought them at half of their original price, it was a lot of money for a device that is just ordinary. They sound OK, but they don’t sound that much better than the headphones I bought for $25 a couple of years ago. In fact, the bass on my cheap headphones is a little bit better, louder and clearer. I can hear the bass on the beats, but it is behind all the other music, and it’s not really out front where I can hear it well. As far as I can tell, so far, there is no equalizer, or any way to boost the bass. When I use the headphones to record audio or to make a call, it sounds like I am talking into an empty soup can. You can hear what I’m saying, but it sounds weird, even compared to Apple AirPods Pro. The voice quality is much worse when compared to wired headphones. Also, background noise is not canceled out from my audio. I’m not going to return them because I paid only half of the original price, and because I like the function of using them plugged in, wired. Even then, the cord is only like 4 feet long. For that price, a 6 foot cord was too much? Anyway, you don’t buy wireless headphones for their wired functionality. The battery life is no where near 22 hours. Maybe 12 tops. They aren’t so bad that I would go to the trouble of returning them. Also, I realize it’s silly to write a review of a product that already has thousands of ratings. The main reason I am bothering to write a review of these mediocre headphones is just to counter all of those overly-positive reviews. What are they even talking about? Did I get the same headphones they did? I bought these headphones in part because of the high ratings, which are simply not accurate.
