At last I finally found the perfect wireless headphones!! I bought these back in November when they were on sale for Black Friday (only $80!) and wanted to give them a test period before I reviewed them. Here’s what I’ve experienced this far:
Pros
1. The sound quality is impeccable. Literally everything is so clear and crisp. Funny enough, to put it into perspective, I was watching a movie and did not notice faint background music until I put these headphones on.
2. The battery life is great. For me, they last roughly 72 hours before I need to fully recharge them. With charging, it takes maybe 40 minutes to an hour to get back up to a full charge. Impressive
3. They’re compact and foldable. You’d be surprised how many headsets don’t fold when you’re done using them but these are perfect if you need to travel.
4. They can connect to anything! I connected them to the Bluetooth on my tv for the first time since I didn’t want to wake my roommate up at 2am and set up was easy and simple.
5. Changing the volume or song is simple and easy.
6. Not really a pro, just an opinion, but they are really cute and stylish.
Cons:
1. A lot of people were right about them hurting your ears after having them on for too long; maybe more than 4 hours of continuous wear. I wish the part that goes around your ears was a little bigger to minimize the discomfort, but nonetheless it’s not a huge deal.
2. Don’t connect them to numerous things at once. For instance, I had these paired with my iPhone and laptop at the same time. When I turned on my laptop it disconnected from my iPhone automatically and vice versa. My suggestion, disconnect from the device you’re not using and only focus on one sole device at a time.
3. I wish the charger came with a charging block instead of just a wire. If you don’t have an extra block make sure you get one.
4. They are not 100% noise cancelling but it does block out a good amount of outside noise
5. My only concern is that when you call someone or someone calls you there’s a weird echo in the background. Like every time you talk it sounds like you’re talking in a tunnel? Again not a big deal just something I’ve noticed.
Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and if you’re considering getting these just do it. I really needed them for studying purposes and they get the job done 100%.

I’ve always been a fan of Beats headphones. They’re durable, comfortable and compact!
My headphones came brand new; Unopened, just as I expected! They were fully charged and ready to go straight out of the package.
These headphones provide me optimum performance and comfort. I have sensitive ears and treble sounding headphones aggravate them and cause pain. Because these headphones have a really high quality bass sound to them, I can listen and enjoy stress and discomfort free!
I bought the silver pair. In person, they look very sleek and have a clean look. Their appearance is great and leaves nothing to be desired!
The setup of these headphones was super easy. All I had to do was turn them on, and they instantly connected to my phone without having to do so manually.
Beats gets a 5 star rating from me!
