The Headphones do come with a male to male 3.5 mm chord. What I’m still wondering about is the micro SD slot on these phones. The manual says very little about it except that mp3 audio files on the card play sequentially. I’m wondering if there is an app that can go into the directory of the card and allow for selecting songs I want to play.

Yes, it does. The packaging is great and the cord is located in the pillar box that supports the headphone during shipping. Great inexpensive Bluetooth headphones.

are these on-ear or over-ear? both phrases are used in the description.
A shopper
on Feb 5, 2021
BEST ANSWER: I would describe these as over the ear. The oval padding measures about 2 inches H x 1.5 inches W on the inside, and the padded speakers are recessed about a half an inch. I am a 6'-3" male and they don't quite cover my ears. So I would say they are a little on the small side. They sound good and are comfortable enough for me. I wear them around the house while doing chores, etc... I'm not exercising in them.

These are on the ear but are large enough to fully cover the ear. They are not big enough to fully encapsulate the ear. They are very comfortable to wear. Also may say, the sound quality is really good for the price.

For me they fit over the ear with a close fit. The internal ear cup is: Top to bottom measures 2"(50mm) and front to back is about 1 3/8"(35mm) possibly 1.5" if padding is compressed a bit. Hope that helps

I would characterize them as on-ear. They cover the ears pretty well, but they don't "encapsulate" them completely. That said, they do shut out any outside noise fairly well.

Does it work with tv?
A shopper
on Feb 1, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Works with AppleTV: I’m primarily using these headphones at night watching TV after everyone else is asleep. There is no problem connecting to the AppleTV via Bluetooth and the sound is pretty dang good. The only very minor thing I have noticed is that I don’t hear the “clicks” as I scroll through the different apps or options in the menu. However, once I start playing a video, the sound comes through perfectly.

How do you reset the headphones? I can't find any reference in the manual for a factory reset action and have tried every combination of the buttons available, even plugged into my computer. I've been having issue connecting and wanted to try just resetting it.

BEST ANSWER: I have never had to reset the headphones. I have had trouble connecting to my device but it has been a device issue and not a headphone issue. You may want to keep it on and drain the battery completely and then recharge it. That might help.

Is the addition of BT 5.0 and the folding design the only difference compared to the BT-200 or are the drivers different too? My BT-200 have a very "recessed" sound and are brassy sounding. However they are comfortable but not a good companion to my BT-300 which sound fantastic.

Meh
Pros:
Price
Folding
Cons:
When the battery hits 20%, the headphones won't shut off. Since Win11 doesn't handle device removal well, it's hard to swap in new headphones easily.
Battery life is only 4 hours.

HIGH value, with one flaw
For the price, these cans are pretty great and I do recommend them. The sound is well above average for this price range. They are comfortable enough, compact, great battery life and surprisingly durable. However, I have purchased two of these so far and have had the same problem with both (and the only reason why I didn't give 5 stars). The power button will collapse into the ear housing, and stay collapsed, if pressed too hard or too many times. My kids broke my second set because they didn't know about this flaw. Keep this in mind when operating and these headphones won't disappoint.

Good value for lightweight headphone
Wanted a lightweight headphone to wear at the gym - to block out other people talking on the phones during their workout. This is light enough to be comfortable wearing during a run. Sound is not audiophile quality but more than suitable for my purposes and the price is an excellent value.

Careful what you buy
Rigid and uncomfortable, choppy and poor voice quality.
Control buttons are on the left earcup compared to everyone else's are on the right. buttons are all the same so quick and easy response to acute a button isn't going to happen.
Most headsets have a swivel allowing earcup to adjust to your head, not this one.
biggest issue of all, Bluetooth should be robust, this one isn't.
Overall, if you are in a pinch, this might get you by, afterall, it was only $20

For less than $20 this BT headphone rocks. Pairing w/ my Pixel 6a phone takes less than 5 seconds. The headphone is light weight and comfortable. Sound quality is good, not at the level of Bose. I have no need for noise cancelling feature thus this phone meets my needs.
