Avantree Audition Pro 40 hr Bluetooth Over Ear Headset with Microphone for Home Office, Conference Call, APTX Low Latency Wireless Headphones for TV Watching, Foldable NFC HiFi Stereo for PC Computer

First off, this review is for the Audition PRO aptX LL headphones. Most of the reviews I read on this page are for the Audition aptX headphones, so I wanted to provide some insight into the higher tier of the two products.I am not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination. I just love listening to music while on my (bluetooth-enabled) computer and I was tired of wires getting in my way while wearing headphones. After doing a lot of research on bluetooth headphones, I originally bought another pair of headphones that were advertised as over-ear headphones but were actually on-ear headphones. On-ear headphones do NOT work for me. They hurt my ears and are very uncomfortable to wear.COMFORT: After that disappointment, I sprung for these Audition Pro aptX LL headphones. They were about double the price, but as it turns out they were well worth the extra cost. (These are the most expensive headphones I've ever purchased.) These headphones are actually over-ear! My ears fit completely inside the soft pads, which means the pads rest against my head and not against my ears. Yesterday I wore these headphones about 6 hours straight and they never once got uncomfortable or made my ears hurt from pressing against my head. Hallelujah! The headphones are easy to adjust, and the headband is comfortable as well.AUDIO: In terms of audio quality, they suffice for my needs. As I said, I'm not an audiophile at all -- just an avid music lover. I did notice these headphones aren't nearly as "tinny" as the other headphones I bought, so that's a plus! The bass isn't overwhelming, nor is it non-existent. The audio seems to be well-balanced to my untrained ears.BLUETOOTH/SYNC: Bluetooth is a blessing and a curse for me. I'm now free from those pesky wires, which is absolutely amazing! In addition, I can walk into the next room and the audio will still play as long as I don't walk too far away from my computer. The downside, like all other bluetooth headphones and earphones I've ever used, is that every now and then, the audio cuts out for a split second. I chalk this up to the bluetooth technology versus these particular headphones because, as I mentioned, this seems to occur with all bluetooth headphones I've used.In terms of sync, I have watched some videos on my computer and the audio was never out of sync with the video. As far as I can tell, the "low latency" feature of these headphones is completely true.BATTERY: I've had these headphones for three days. I charged them right after I bought them and since then I've put in probably about 20 hours of listening and I haven't received that dreaded low battery notification yet. (From what I read, it can scare you since it's loud!) The verdict is still out on the 40 hour battery claim.CONNECTING TO DEVICES: As advertised, I had no issues connecting these headphones to either my phone or my computer.ACCESSORIES: These headphones come with a hard travel case, a micro USB charging cable (wall adapter not included), and a 3.5 mm audio cable which is optional.Overall I am very satisfied with these headphones and would definitely recommend them if you're looking for comfortable, reliable OVER-EAR headphones for under $100.

I have to hand it to Avantree. These headphones do what they say they will do, sound great, and have a really aesthetically pleasing, premium look and feel to boot. At this price, you would be hard pressed to be disappointed.I'd been looking for a way to listen to music. movies, and games on my Windows 10 PC, without disturbing the others in our apt as well as the downstairs neighbors. I'd tried an existing BT dongle I had with some headphones I already had. Not only did the sound quality suck, the latency meant that the sound did not match with what was going on onscreen, such as a person talking etc. SO I used a wired setup which eliminated those issues, but it sucks being chained to the cord. Did research and the key to what I wanted is the AptX Bluetooth technology for sound quality, and then the newer aptX-LL (Low latency) reduces the latency so sound and video are synced up much better.I bought these headphones along with an Avantree APTx-LL transmitter, which can connect to a phone jack, or an optical input for better sound, if you have it. In short, the headphones paired to the transmitter instantly, and everything was as promised. It is a very elegant solution for my needs. The sound quality is excellent. Overall fidelity is very good, good tight bass, solid highs as well. Now, you will get better sound if you pay more. But I think you would have to pay a good bit more. These sound very good and it will be a case of diminishing returns going up in price. These headphones are comfortable, with leather ("protein leather", I probably don't want to know what that is, but it feels like soft leather) earcups that can be replaced if need be. They are reasonably lightweight. They have a premium look and feel that is very pleasing to the eye and to the touch. They would be a good deal at$100 or more, honestly. You get a pretty nice hard case (headphones are foldable) and various cables, including a regular phone jack that you can use in wired mode without using battery. I even got a follow up email from Avantree and I get the impression they are sincerely concerned with customer satisfaction. Avantree seems like a very good company in every facet from the planning and execution of the product, to price point, to the product working as expected with good quality across the board. With so many sub par products or even outright scams (500 GB micro SD cards for $20, etc), this product is actually better than it has to be. I'm genuinely impressed.One small criticism, the bass boost feature (not in the otherwise thorough instructions, but you hold down both the volume up and down for about ten seconds) muddies up the sound for music, sounded quite bad actually, so I don't use it for music, though I did appreciate this feature for movies.I can't speak to longevity as I've only had these for a few days, but initial impressions are very positive, and I am happy with the purchase.
