Do they come with a cord so they can be pluged in if wireless is not available?
A shopper
on Aug 28, 2022
They do not come with a cord, but they do have an 1/8 inch input, so if you provide your own chord they can be plugged in.

The one I bought did not although they are readily available. I think you should buy the one with case, a charging cable and a mini RCA cord for non-blutooth listening.

Can my husband use these to watch TV?
A shopper
on Aug 31, 2022
BEST ANSWER: if you have a roku (that supports the remote app) and a smartphone, you can look into downloading the free roku app. it turns your phone into a remote, and also has a "private listening" mode that allows you to listen to the tv solely through any headphones that are connected to your smartphone.
if you don't have a roku, or have one that doesn't support the app, i would look into the brand of the tv and the model number. the tv manual provided to you should be available online, and it will make note if it supports any bluetooth features. please note, however, that bluetooth audio may have some slight delay, depending on how far away you are sitting from from the television set.

If your TV has an option to use an external bluetooth headset or speaker, it should. Our family has had more than a few sets of these and find them to be a quality product that performs as advertised.

Are the headband reinforced with aluminum or is it only plastic?
A shopper
on Dec 15, 2022
BEST ANSWER: It feels like it has a piece of spring steel in the headband. The only problem I have with this headset is that it tends to be too tight. I regularly leave it overnight stretched across the top of my AT full tower case (8-inches) and it still hasn't loosened up.

The inner adjustment band is plastic with a metal band inlaid for additional support. It seems to be sturdy enough. I have only used them a few times and the work great. An excellent value.

The picture shows what appears to be a 1/8" jack at the bottom of one side, but there's no mention of it in the manual or specs. Is this a 1/8" jack, and if so is it for a microphone or for wired headphone use?
A shopper
on Mar 9, 2022
BEST ANSWER: Yes - you can use that jack with a cord and it works as stereo headphones. If you use a cord that has a tip, a ring, and a barrel at the headphone end and one that has a tip, two rings, and a barrel at the computer end, then that cord has a built-in microphone so you can use it for video calls.

Will they work with your tv?

I bought and love these but when using them in MS Teams I can hear everyone but they can't hear me. Anyone else have this problem? I did read that some BT headsets aren't MS compatible.

I have an older model of these headphones. It says IIIP on them as well. The ear cups have failed and are flaking. I'm trying to find replacements. To lock mine on, you have to slightly twist them. Has anyone replaced their ear pads and if so, what did you purchase? I can't find any replacement item on Monoprice.

Does the noise cancellation feature work by itself? The product description says that it does, but my headphones shut off after 5 minutes unless music is playing.

Two on-off switches on this headphone
Discovered recently that the on-off switch for the sound is separate from the on-off switch for the background noise elimination. if you shut of sound and not the other, the battery will drain.
Otherwise, the sound and noise elimination are great.

Sorry, these weren't "up to snuff" for my teenage daughter. Decently made but she had sights set on headphones with more bells and whistles. Will be returning...

You Get What You Pay For
While sound quality is highly subjective, build quality is not. I went through two of these headphones because the band over the head broke. The cheap plastic material is what really keeps this cost down. I do not recommend this product if you're looking to use it long term, as I went through two of these in a matter of months.

Good budget headphones
These BT-250ANC headphones come with a short charging cable. They have a female socket to accept a headphone cable but:
They do not come with a cable to work as wired headphones.
They do not come with a hard shell case.
I'm fine with that. I have cases and cables left over from previous headphones and these BT-250ANC headphones are exactly what I wanted: functional headphones at a good price.
