This is the first time that I've been disappointed with a Monoprice product in any way, but these headphones didn't provide the noise cancelling I expected. I bought the first pair for a long flight, but couldn't use them due to distortion and volume decrease when using the ANC. Monoprice graciously exchanged them for the pair I now have. This pair doesn't have the distortion or volume drop when ANC is switched on, but still doesn't provide adequate noise cancelling. In all other aspects, however, they are quite nice. The sound quality, comfort, and overall "feel" surpass expectations for such an inexpensive set of headphones.

I have three concerns about BT-250ANC Headphones. Number one: Recharging time has been over 5 hours as compared to 2-3 hour battery charging time stated in specs, Number two: Bass seems to be a little too deep which has me increasing volume to compensate for deep bass and Number three: While laying down listening to headphones they become a little uncomfortable and have to be readjusted. occasionally. But as I have stated it is still a good value for the price.

Good value -- quite inexpensive. For what you pay you get

* decent sound
* decent user interface
* bluetooth works without issue
* decent battery life
* comfortable enough

But the caveats are

* noise cancelling doesn't do much
* maximum volume isn't very loud (this is probably ok, though, right?)

Would definitely recommend these headphones as a bargain bluetooth headset

The sound quality was good overall, but it broke in the spot where the extender exits the main part of the headband. I understand that it may not be built to take a ton of abuse but it needs to last longer than 8 months of pretty gentle use.

The fit is good, and snug. Sound ok, could use a little clarity.

First pair was defective (wouldn't charge at all), and Monoprice sent me a replacement, hassle free. The new ones work just fine now and I am quite satisfied.

I really liked my old SonicSolace headphones from Monoprice and it is hard to find similar sets for less than $30. These were a great price at $20 but not as good as the SonicSolace ones. The LED is very small and dim and hard to see. All of the controls are on the right ear side and their locations are not very intuitive. Overall, they feel like fragile plastic. On the plus side, they are very light and they fold. The charging port is USB C and that is an improvement over my older pair.

Sound quality is fairly good but the ANC somehow seems to lower the volume of the music.

I liked the previous pair that I had bought from you several years ago. These aren't as sturdy or comfortable. When I'm on the phone people say it sounds very windy even when the car windows are closed. My original pair also came with a case which is probably an option with another model but still handy to have.

ANC does not work very well. When on, it muffles the music and lowers the volume.

I have used these on an airplane (world of difference in noise cancellation) and the flight was more than pleasant. I use them also when mowing the lawn and while they don't completely cancel the noise (I don't think anything could) they do a reasonable job and I don't have to crank up the volume on my source (essentially my phone using SXM radio) to enjoy the tunes.

I'm sure there are others of this type out there, but they probably cost twice as much or more, but don't deliver "significant" improved quality

While others have had issues with the ear pads dissolving away, I think there are practical hobby shop solutions (make your own out of spongy type material) that can solve that problem and keep on using them.

If it comes to that (or Monoprice doesn't start providing replacement pads) just remember that the pad fix doesn't have to look good as long as they still sound good.
