Super comfortable with great sound
Having returned Oneodio A70's, I was looking for another budget bluetooth headphone. The A70's had a great detailed sound, but sadly dropped connection only a few feet away. I purchased these Taotronics (TB85) after numerous Ytube reviews ratings. I was not disappointed. These have a lovely warming sound, but with plenty of mid detail. The bass is not overpowering, but just right. The vocals are forward along with the highs, but definitely not too bright or siblant. Volume is more than enough. I usually listen around 75% and these can go higher without distortion. It's true that they sound better with the ANC switched on. Without, they tend to lack soundstage, so leave it on is a must. Very good at blocking out background noise with ANC on also. The comfort of these when wearing has for me, been possibly the best I've experienced of any headphones, including premium headphones from the likes of Sennheiser and Denon. I've worn these for hours without even getting sweaty ears. Very lightweight too, so no pressure on top of my head. Earpads are nothing notibly special, except super soft and very, very comfortable. These are bluetooth 5, which for me, makes all the difference. I've been down to the bottom of my garden with these on and the signal was just holding its own. Moving around the house, was no problem whatsoever. Not evaluated battery life completely yet, but will add an update after a couple of weeks. At the moment, I'm so very pleased with these, especially for the price. The build quality is excellent, without any annoying creaks or rattles. Premium finish materials are also used. They come in a velvet type bag.....If they had a hard case, it would be 10/10 all day! Along with long time music listening, these are my go to bluetooth headphone for late night TV viewing. Movies sound awesome through them without disturbing the household or the neighborhood 😉. Get yourself a set of these for little money and sit back and just enjoy.

Very impressed with these
OK here's my honest review. First off I don't own any other headphones so can't compare with bose or Sony or anything really. So they came in a nice box. With a nice suede bag. No hard case. I charged them before use. The padding on the headband and ears are very soft nott leather I don't think. I don't have any problems with the build quality looks good enough to me. So far I've listened to music various types, audible and watched Netflix. I did change the equaliser on my phone only because it was suggested I did on a YouTube video. If I'm honest the sound very good either way. Vocals are clear and has nice bass not to much. They seem very clear with talking books. I have trying the very expensive Sony ones in a shop and the anc was unbelievable.The anc on these isn't as good, but I still think its excellent. I've charged once and listened to the end of a book watched numerous hours of Netflix and they are still going. Last night was Cotswold outdoors camp in your garden (due to isolation) I watched more Netflix and feel asleep with them on I only woke when I tried to lie on my side.After hours of use. I forget I have them on they are that comfortable. After a while on none use they turn themselves off. But you must turn the anc off manually via the switch or it remains on and will use battery.Can't think of any cons. I'm very impressed with the quality sound and anc especially for the price. I bought these myself so this is not a sponsored review. Obviously other people who are headphone nerds (I don't mean that in a bad way) may have a different view. But if you want a decent set of Bluetooth wireless headphones you won't go wrong with these. Oh and I paired it with my phone and kindle effortlessly and switch between the two the same.

WOW! ... these are the best headphones I have ever owned! (honestly)
PROS: Bluetooth 5, support for APTX, Lightweight, good noise isolation (even with ANC off) fit great, feel comfortable, the sound quality is really good, long battery life, and has USB-C charging port (making it even faster to charge up). Ear cups are super soft, and comfy. They just look really good, and flexible too.CONS: The prompt voice is low quality sounding ("power on/off, pairing") , may not fit so comfortably for someone with normal-large sized ears. The TT support site is not good, I tried to register my headphones 3 times, and still haven't received a confirmation email, and there was no option for 'I didn't receive my confirmation email, pleas send again' ... so the support site is not good.ANC is not great, it cuts out some noises, but not others. Personally I found the ANC disorientating, it doesn't feel nice, almost like you have a really bad head cold, and your ears are congested - it actually provoked a feeling of anxiety - I wouldn't recommend using feedback ANC in public, or at any time.The buttons on the right ear could of been keyed better, and they are set far back, so you need to use your thumb. I fumbled for the exact button, since the power button is in the middle, up button is above it, the down button is below it ... usually the default placement is -power, then volume up/down are set exactly beside each other. There should be more spacing between the buttons.----REMEMBER: Your headphones will only perform as well as the Bluetooth transceiver you are using. Not all makes are made equally. I came across a 'supposedly' great make of transceiver on amazon, it looked the part, even had 2 antennas, and it was AWFUL! ...I am testing these headphones with a simple Bluetooth transceiver from 2018, it cost around £20, it supports APTX, and surprisingly uses BT 4.2 ... and it performs better than the transceiver that was labelled (2020), had 2 antennas, boasted Bluetooth 5 and was over twice the price at £45 ... and it was just terrible.SO , please beware of these scams, get a decent BTT to utilise these headphones by Taotronics.It is so pleasant to find a tech device that actually delivers exactly what it promises!I wore these 085 TT headphones while doing stretches, and they stayed in place even when I was upside down!!! ...they are so lightweight, and fit just perfect, make sure to pop your ear inside the cup when putting on. There was ZERO pressure or strain from using these for many many hours.I wear glasses when doing close up work, and using screens, and that is no problem, no tightness or disruption from wearing my glasses with them either.After this excellent experience with taotonics, I will definitely be keeping an eye out for their products in the future.-honest review, not paid for, and I did pay full price for my headphones also-
