On Ear Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Microphone - August EP636 - Bluetooth Version 4.1 + EDR, Lightweight Engineering NFC One Tap to Connect for Android and Apple - Silver

I wear headphones a lot there is a compromise between cost, comfort, portability and sound quality. These are better than expected on all counts. They are not as comfortable for wearing all day as some i have but are fine for a few hours. They are much more comfortable than most of the decent headphones i have tried. They don't' seal round your ears like some so cut out less sound from outside but i prefer that when walking. They don't fold so less portable than my past ones but they are quite tidy so much more portable than many on ear quality headphones. The blue tooth works. I tend to change sound on devise rather than headphones as its easier but nice to have option and useful if devise in bag. The charge lasts much longer than i expected, even after being on for several hours. Sound not bad, i would not class myself an audiophile but i did not get sonos sound system for home cause the sound is not good enough. These headphones obviously do not give the absolute best sound but its better than i expected and gives good sound for lots of different types of music....death metal, rnb, jazz, classical etc. There is enough base for me but there are other headphones that give more base at similar price point. To clarify I found sonos system sacrificed detail in mid range for base i preferred muso sound system instead. These headphones no way compeate with eaither for sound of course but sound is personal so i find it useful in reviews if people give a comparative on what sound they like. I find there headphones are one of the best sets i have at this price point and they are wireless. The sound more than makes up for loss of portability. I have yet to decide if comfort & charge life is good enough to ditch my old wired headphones.

August EP636 Bluetooth Wireless Stereo NFC Headphones with Microphone - WhiteThese are good headphones...excellent for the price.The build is top quality and they feel they'll last for a long time. They stretch to go over your head and you can adjust the length so the pads fit over your years perfectly.Must admit, I prefer headphones that cup around the outside of your ears. These don't. They sit flat on the ears. But they're padded, without being spongy, and there seems to be little sound leak. I've asked people if they can hear the music blaring in my ears, and they say no.The sound - to me - is good. I'm no audiophile and must admit I've never owned a really really expensive set of headphones, but these sound great to me. A big heavy on the bass, but better that than thin and tinny.One thing I was worried about was these things falling off if I wear them in the gym and running. Well, they don't...even when there's sweat around. If you nod your head really really hard, they will come off. But they stay on better than my in-ear phones.I should mention set up....it's easy, especially if your phone - or music player - has NFC. Just tap the two together and it's done. It's no sweat to connect the bluetooth with NFC either. It just worked. And the controls on the right side are workable. They're a bit fiddly and you have to feel around to make sure your finger's on the skip or volume button, but they're perfectly workable when you get used to them. The controls resemble iPod Shuffle controls.All in all, I think these are a good buy.

Pros:Very intuitive user interface. Pairing is a breeze.Very good sound quality (pronounced, bumping bass and mid to upper range are quite good as well).Portable and lightweight.Very long battery life.Sleek design.Cons (mainly minor inconveniences):Poor build quality on the upper frame. I sent back a pair of these because I thought that I received a faulty pair with the top frame peeling away and exposing the inside foam/plastic that makes up the interior of the top band of the headphone. I received the replacement set and found that this part also very easily peels away and gets loose on the second pair as well, so it's likely like this for all devices. You can stick it back shut, and there are some weak silicon clasps that sort of wedge themselves shut but in my opinion this shouldn't open at all it should be glued shut. I may even end up supergluing it shut myself.They get uncomfortable if worn for long periods continuously (over 2 hours and you need to take a few minutes break without them on otherwise your upper ear will get sore). But I've heard from friends who have had these that after a week or two they loosen up and become more comfortable to wear for long periods.Can't switch paired devices directly from headphones. If i get up from my computer and want to go for a walk and listen to music from my phone, I need to disconnect the headphones from my computer then reconnect them from my phone. It would be easier if there was a button on the headphones that cycles through paired devices.Overall a good little pair of headphones, they are easily worth the £25.
