Are these headphones capable of folding up for traveling?
A shopper
on Aug 21, 2022
The cups rotate flat, and one will fold up inside the headband for a flat and somewhat compact profile, or do not rotate them and they will spoon into the headband for a more compact but less flat profile.

Yes. They ends pivot and swing inward to making the unit flat.

Is it possible to also use them to plug into an audio jack or are they wireless only?

They come with a 3.5mm cord. This set let you use them in Bluetooth or a wired mode. ANC also works while wired.

IMHO, no. They are on ear (as opposed to over ear, and too large for impact related sports like the treadmills, cycling, etc.

How are these headphones hooked to a guitar amplifier, a fender mustang 25 or a 5w monoprice stage right?
A shopper
on Feb 12, 2024
BEST ANSWER: One of the reasons that I bought these headphones is that they can use Bluetooth or use a hardwired connection. Since guitar amps tend to be mono, you will probably want a mono to stereo cable in order to drive both left and right channels on the headphones.

The ear cover piece on R ear is coming off (to the point where its barely attached, and the foam is out,) also starting to come apart at the L ear. I swear I remember reading a question about those covers will come off and they can be replaced. How do you replace and where do you find the covers?

ANS Works great
These headphones are a hearing saver, they are very comfortable , great sound and the ANS works well. I have a small wood shop so all my tools are near each other . With the dust collector and the planer working the ANS deadens it more than I expected. Good value all around

Look and feel better than they sound.
These look and feel well made. The design is attractive and they are comfortable to wear. I haven't had any complaints about the mic quality on phone calls.
The controls take a bit of memorization, particularly if you only use the headphones only occasionally. There could more obvious external markings as which sides are intended to be right and left. While there are good-looking L & R indications inside the ear cups, those aren't visible as you pick the headphones up. Bluetooth works fine with my Pixel 6.
With all the attractive design and external build quality, I found the audio quality to be disappointing compared to other external headphones I own that cost about the same., not to mention IEMs for less.. Albeit, my "comparable" phones do not offer noise cancellation.
I would say these are best used for non-critical video viewing, where high fidelity audio won't be missed, or where noise cancellation is the primary goal. (Note: I have not tested the noise cancellation.)

Versatile at a good price point.
My requirements were 1) wired analog input, 2) ANC, 3)BT. I found several headphones in this price range that met all three individual requirements, but these are rare in that they offer ANC in both wired and BT modes. Most have ANC with BT only. They are a bit heavy on bass but that's OK for my needs. I don't need audiophile performance for their intended use. I am satisfied with them so far.

Great headphones for the price
I've had these headphones for several months, now, and I've been very pleased with them. My main use has been to watch movies on an Android tablet next to a sleeping baby and several loud noise-machines, and I sometimes use them with my Windows PC to play games. I've also read some of the negative reviews, and I'm not really sure what people expect for ANC bluetooth headphones that are only ~$60.
Sound: I think they sound pretty great. They don't sound as good as my Grado SR225s ($225), but they sound about as good as anything else I've used, especially at this price point.
ANC: I really don't understand the reviews saying that the ANC doesn't work. I know for a fact that they just about completely cancel out the loud noise-machine next to me that uses a low bass-heavy droning sound. They don't do so well with our other noise machine that uses a combination of random noises. I've never used high-end ANC headphones, so I can't compare them, but I do know that they work well with certain kinds of noises and to a point with others. YMMV.
Comfort: The padding is nice and soft, but I think that, due to that fact that they're over-the-ear but not large enough to engulf your ear, you'll probably eventually get ear-fatigue since they're pressing in on your ears. I also wear glasses that add to the eventual discomfort, but despite that, I wouldn't say they're overly uncomfortable, and I can definitely watch an entire movie with them in one go. They're about as comfortable as my Grados, which are also not known as the most comfortable headphones ever... :)
Bluetooth: They're very easy to connect and do a great job staying connected. I've actually walked several rooms away from my computer, and they've somehow still stayed connected, which I was very impressed by. I love how much more convenient they are than my various pairs of corded headphones that leash me to whatever device I'm using.
There is a weird bug, though, with having them paired to multiple devices. We sometimes use the tablet as a photo frame next to the PC, and if the headphones are paired to both active devices, the audio will cycle on and off until I remember to turn off the bluetooth on the tablet. I don't know what that's about, since I see in the instruction manual that they support Multipoint Pairing. It talks about needing the correct codecs on both devices, but apparently the default Windows 10 codec and the default Samsung Android codec don't play well together.
So, they may not be the absolute best headphones on the market, but for what they are with the built-in tech they have and at their price point, I think they're fantastic. They're just about perfect for what we're currently using them for.

Solid value.
These punch way above their weight for the price. Decent sound, not for audiophiles but not disappointed. ANC is especially good for traffic noise.
