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.

Can these headphones stream blue audio and wired audio simultaneously? This would be an excellent feature for guitar players wanting to practice with a backing track.

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.

Worse than expected
I will go through each aspect of the Headphones separately, however i will start with my final thoughts for anyone who is looking for the end result , please note that i have used different headphones and my review will be based on the brands that are within the same price range (i.e Anker , TREBLAB ... etc)
My thoughts : these headphones are worse than i was expecting , even with all the features these headphones has and they are still not even close to other competitors with the same price range in more than one aspect, i would stick with some other headphones than these one.
Sound : The sound is somehow decent , good bass (a bit lower than my taste ) , Treble could use a boost , overall the sound is good on low volumes , once you start using the headphones at higher volumes the drives starts making a noticeable buzz noise, while the sound is not even that loud, i will give it a 2/5 for the sound especially with the buzzing noise i encounter.
ANC and isolation : the ANC in these headphones is a true abomination , it literally does almost nothing you can still hear out side noise like before, not to mention the bad isolation in the earcups , these headphone has no isolation what so ever, other headphones have better overall noise reduction without the using ANC !!!, ill give it a 1/5 just for including a non working ANC.
Comfort : these headphones are not your best bet when it comes to being comfortable while using them , the cushions are soft however they tend to hurt your ears even after 1 hour of use, they are not the worst I've had but defiantly not one of the best,2/5
battery life and Bluetooth connection : Bluetooth connection in these headphone is actually good , the range is perfect and you wont notice any change in the sound quality ever when you are far, battery life is not as good especially when using the ANC , i tried it more than once at it never reached more than 8 and a half hours with ANC on, its not as advertised but its not way off (haven't tried without the ANC). 4/5
other points : these headphones use Micro-USB cable which for me is a draw back , in addition the low battery notification is somehow very annoying.

Great affordable headphones with ANC & Multipoint features!
I got these headphones for working at my office and they are fantastic.
Positives:
The bluetooth range is good, enough to go through several walls. The fit for me is extremely comfortable - I've got a smaller head so I've retracted the headband accordingly and they've stayed firmly in place (for now, we'll see if that changes over time). The weight of these are nice - light but with enough to stay in place and to convey a good decent robust construction. The ANC is great as it nicely cancels out much of the surrounding office noise particularly the buzzing/humming of the overhead air conditioning - great for focusing on work. Lastly, the feature I've been looking forward to the most was the Multipoint multi-device (2 device) connection between my Samsung Galaxy S10 phone and my Windows 10 desktop PC and these headphones didn't disappoint - being new to the feature I followed the documents on how to connect the two devices and just like that, I had my phone at the ready while listening to work music playing on my PC.
Not as Positives:
I'm not an audiophile but the sound I would say is a 7.5/10 and can get into trouble with music with big bass but for lounge jazz/electronic music, it's super. One thing I wish the earlier reviews for these headphones or the webpage's Specifications section didn't disclose so well is the fact that it uses micro-USB for charging which is the only device of the 3 devices that I charge in my office that is being charged with micro-USB - all others are USB Type-C. My outgoing Amazon wireless headphones are 6 years old and they used USB Type-C. A couple of other smaller issues that don't bother me so much but may to some others is there is no travel case and the bluetooth LED status light stays on.
Overall:
These are great OTE headphones for the price it's offered at and I would definitely recommend a pair of these looking for a good pair of headphones with ANC and Multipoint features.
