Well, I’ve had this product since April. Since then it has never died, one time I used it for two days in a row of like 10 hour sessions and it was still around 80%. I also use it for runs and it is very useful for travel and it never disconnects. Great quality.
Very very comfy, a little LITTLE loose on my head. I’m very short so my heads pretty small anyway. The sound quality is okay if you turn the volume up too high you’ll hear little scratchy noises as the speaker struggles to keep up with the volume. These are good for your first pair of over the ear headphones but you shouldn’t buy these with the intent to use them for years to come. They’re also very piercing friendly!
Not as noise cancelling as I had hoped for (previous headphones I used had a noise cancelling button, which would play subtle white noise which was very effective in reducing outside noise) however for the price it’s worth the value. Battery is long lasting, can listen for hours before it needs charged.
So the battery lasts for a long time which is great. However, there is an issue. Once it gets to 40% charge, an annoying voice says “low power please charge” constantly. Like every 15 or 20 seconds. Like it could just remind me once it gets to 10% and it only has to remind me a few times. It’s very infuriating. Other than that they’ve lasted me 2 years and haven’t broken, so that’s good.
I like the comfort of them good quality not bad sounding good auto connect once turned on and great battery
Ideal for computer work if I listen to music in the background. Great sound and very comfortable
Bought for the wife (means I don’t have to watch/listen to Emmerdale!).
She likes them – you can’t score better than that!
he battery lasts a while and generally good sound quality. two issues with it: if you don’t disconnect the bluetooth before you but them in you bag, often they just randomly call people. there’s a button that if you press and hold calls your most recent number, which i think is just totally useless because why would i do that. it mainly just means if i don’t disconnect it and put it in my bag it will call someone about 5 times. another issues is that they broke ! idk what you would call it but the ear basically broke off from the strap, the only thing holding it together is the wire. not to be unexpected ig from 20 quid headphones. just buy expensive ones.
was sent a new pair ! works a lot bette
i am astounded at how good the sound is.. what a bargain!! i’ve got several formats of beats but i find them uncomfortable and they make my ears sweat. the cups on these headphones are bigger, fit my big head superbly.. connected in nanoseconds to my iphone and the sound is wonderful.. i can’t give this product anything less than a maximum score.. 10/10 100% i would rebut these should i break or lose them in the future. absolutely no need to buy high end headphones when these are available. brilliant purchase!!
I’m not sure about the durability I feel like the joints might snap in thr near future, I use them at the gym
I’m always using them and you’d think there lying about the 52 hour batter life, they ain’
So comfy even over hearing aids. Good tone. Just have to learn not to sing out loud ( I can’t sing )
Got it for my teenage daughter. She says the quality of sound is as good as some expensive brands.
I don’t usually write reviews but this product is so worthy!! Im amazed as how long battery lasts I don’t charge it for days and I’m constantly using them for real no jokes also how can phone calls work not necessary having your phone close! I’ll be charging my phone upstairs and be in the kitchen downstairs and the phone call still works despite the distance, same thing with my workplace and people hear me clearly I’m very content I suggested my cousin to but it and he did and he had same experience.
They sound good (I’m no expert) I thought they had ventilation but I don’t think they do, you do get hot if wearing for a while
Could quality sound for the relatively low cost of the head phones
hese headphones were amazing to start off. they’re comfortable and the sound quality was amazing. i’ve had them less than two months now and the sound is going slightly crackly when i listen to things. the charge on them is amazing though. i’ve only charged them twice since i got them and to be honest i do use them every day. and they’re really good in general. really worth the money and good. just maybe not for use every single day.
Really good quality for the money. Look good and come with a storage bag and charging cables. Battery life is as stated too. Only thing I would comment on is if dropped they are quite easily damaged i.e. the panels on the side of the headphones break or the headphone it self falls out of the pivots so look after them. Not great for kids in that respect.
These headphones are very good for sound quality and the different modes on it are amazing. I would recommend them over more bigger headphone brands which I have owned in the past. However, once the buttons got stuck in and I had to use a prying tool to pull them back out. This is because of the cheap build quality of the frame and the buttons. But I haven’t seen this as too much of a problem so far. I would recommend if you want to travel since they easily fold up and are easy to carry! The notice cancellation is really good. It isn’t to the point where they are completely deafening but it also isn’t to the point where they are took weak.
These are all that we wanted for the price.
If you want better you will probably have to splash quite a bit more cash.
All the functions the average person would need in convenient place with buttons sized with gaps to make it quite intuitive to use with a little practice.
Sound quality very good, although i’m no techno junkie, can hear sound wherever i walk in our flat.
Use Voice mode due to partner’s hearing being impaired.
Easy to turn sound up and down.
They look quite good to me and partner happy she can hear TV clearly at whatever level she chooses while i set TV at much lower level for the time being anyway.
Paired this with SONRU Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter Receiver, Bluetooth Audio Adapter Digital Optical TOSLINK RCA 3.5mm Audio Cable for TV/Home Stereo System Low Latency,HD from Amazon which i have also reviewed. Works a treat.
Headphones can be expanded or contracted to fit head.
Comfortable on the whole, but do make my ears warm after prolonged use.
Yes they do fold once you get the confidence your not going to break them if you push them inwards.
Come with a bag and cable if you don’t want to use battery.
Loads of charge and if you USB charge them overnight no real inconvenience here.
A little bleed from them if sound low on TV, headphone sound reasonably high ,and partner next to you but nothing too disturbing. Obviously you can always pay more if you want, or expect better.
I’d say for the price at around 30 or lower when on offer these are more than sufficient for most people.
Very pleased and impressed overall.
Great headphones which I purchased a long time ago but still in great condition and work so well!
Purchased as a replacement to my daughters previous pair of these,,, She loves them.
I’m a Bose fan, so pretty high standards. These are not as good, but pretty good, especially for a bargain price.
Most people will not be disappointed.
Great head set cornice and comfortable sound is good great for my deaf husband
The headphones are just what I needed. I had to spend some time in hospital and these headphones were just what I needed to cancel out background noise. Good quality and sound for the price.
These are absolutely brilliant, so easy to use, super comfy and great sound. Can’t recommend enough!!!
While they can be quite uncomfortable at time the extensive battery life more than makes up for it, I use them every day and only need to charge them about 1 a month
I have been using this product for 2 years, still working and still in good condition. I generally use very clean tools but I still didn’t expect to use this long without problem. Sound quality is not the best as expected but it is good for this price
These were a present . I haven’t heard of anything wrong with them so I assume they are good.
Liked the beautiful seemless style. Smooth sound combined with noise cancellation. Extends well to accommodate an impossibly high afro hair. Fantastic all round. Duff my hat to this one.
Bought for husband. He finds them very comfortable to wear, loves the sound, and even when he has them on loud I can’t hear what he’s listening to. Win, win. I might buy myself a pai
Absolutely perfect, noise cancelling is great, sound quality is great, forgot to mention in the video: battery life. I’ve had these for over a year now and have only charged them less than about 5 times. I wear them very often to the gym, when commuting to London etc. Worth the purchase
I bought these headphones in 2020, and have used them every day since. In strong winds the fit leaves small gaps that whistle passed the ears but the headphones have a good enough sound quality to turn it up without distortion. 2 years in and the soft covering has only just started to fray. Excellent.
My eyesight is failing and I got these for listening to audio books. For which they are just the ticket. However, I soon discovered that music sounds great through them as well. At this price I didn’t expect more than basic functionality but have been very pleasantly surprised by how good they are.
I absolutely love these. They are really good sound quality, very comfortable and the padding is not that cheap plastic feeling rubbish that you get with cheap headphones. There are many functions but frankly, I just turn them on, connect via blu tooth and they are a godsend. Excellent head phones and if I take them off my head still playing, no one else could possibly hear them.
Very comfy, great quality, and very good value for money!
Comfortable to wear, great sound quality and excellent battery life. Highly recommended.
Sound is just superb, choice of 3 eq settings,comfortable to wear easy to use , sad to say that this is the 3rd set I have returned in as many weeks as the common fault is that most of the time they will not power up which is not acceptable, have reset them but still dead as a dodo. Have seen several reviews with the same reported fault, Doquas must surely be aware of this and should be able to fix, will not be purchasing agai
It doesn’t cancel out all noise, especially at the gym. The sound quality is very good
I generally use them for listening to audio books in bed and very pleased with them. Easy to operate
Had an issue with the first pair but was sent another pair very quickly and all is well so far with this pair.
These headphones are great. I last charged them when i first got it two weeks ago and they still work amazingly the sound quality is amazing. Im shocked at how great these are.
A perfect headphone.
We have 2 of them and for now ( 9 months) no problem at all.
Long battery, good sound quality, comfortable.
Very happy..
I bought these for me to listen to audio books and these are perfect. Comfortable and easy to use.
If you want a good headset that you can use for pretty much anything this is the one, a bit loose for the gym but I use it for gaming even and is better than my actual gaming headset especially on cod, like Holy cow haha, anyhow glhf
Battery life is very very long, even when using the build in microphone for sustained periods. On that note – the microphone is also very clean and crisp.
The price is far too low for the quality of these headphones, as long as you don’t expect perfect noise cancelling
That earphones are amazing, when you charge it ones, it goes ages, very good quality and comfortable to wear.
Bought to replace old ones. Happy with purchase. Comfortable and sound.
Good headphones, only problem is the instruction leaflet is not very clear how to link to iPad, the print is very small and have to enlarge
Generally satisfactory. Knowing it’s possible to spend fortunes on headphones, these appear to be a reasonable compromise between cheap, underperforming headphones and top-quality items.
So far I’m impressed. Good sound quality and battery life.
Really good headphones, battery lasts for ages, great sound, not 100% noise cancelling but still very good
For the price these headphones are well worth the purchase. I love them. Although they do not cut out the surrounding noise completely they do it sufficiently enough as to not be bothered by it. I often forget to charge them due to the lengthy battery life. They are a bit on the heavy side but well worth considering.
Only had it 48 hours but sound quality is fine appears robustly made and easy to set up. Would recommend.
I didn’t have high expectations at this price but They are my go to now for podcasts, radio and music. Comfortable, decent sound quality and excellent battery life
Had the intermittent power button issue other people have reported. You can get round it by putting the headphones on charge for 5 mins and then the power button works. No use if you’re using them out. I only use them indoors so less of an issue. I reported the problem to the support email from the doqaus website. Checked some things. No luck fixing the problem, they sent out another pair.
****Important update…great product until now…it will not turn on, after 3 weeks of ownership, and is charged up, so not reliable ****(Excellently made product, pairs quickly, no problems, great 3 options for listening, sound quality pretty good, simple to use, reliable, charge lasts a long time, very pleased 5*)
The new generation of Hi- fidelity in Dolby Arnos -sound quality DOQUAS wireless headphone. Brilliantly design with EQ modes in high resolution. 5.0 Bluetooth with battery life that gives a comfort hours of streaming in a noice cancelling mode. Value for pockets and highly recommend. 5 stars Love it! DOQUAS indeed.
Works well with my iPad, easy to set up and good range of colours. Plus no squabbling children, they each have a different colour.
Used these for two weeks now. Still not had to recharge, not the best quality but for this price you can never complain! Great value for money
I used the product once and it never worked again, nor did I have feedback from manufacturers or sellers !
Very quickly got them working with my phone, tv and pc.
Well made great quality and almost to good for an 11 year old
I brought these as I was going into hospital for an operation
I highly recommend these headphones!
I love these I went for them as I can’t wear the inside ones! Brillia
These are not very loud and extremely hard to hear when you take a call.
Noise cancellation is none existent, used on plane at full volume , poor. Sat at home using Bluetooth when it’s quiet watching tele they work fine
Brought these headphones at the beginning of 2020 and absolutely love them. They don’t squash your ears, they sit comfortably on your head. I’ve thrown them on the floor multiple times being careless and they still work, the material is starting to tear now but probably because of my carelessness lol and sometimes the right side has no sound but I just given it a little slap and it works, really love the sound quality, never owned such a great pair of headphones. I just brought my second pair over 2 years later as I was decorating and got gloss all over them not because they stoped working haha.
I now own 2 Sets of these headphones and my wife has 1 set.
They are comfortable and lightweight to wear for extended periods as I do on my computer.
Bluetooth function is so easy, and the rechargeable battery seems to last forever. I use mine a lot and only charge them once a month if that.
The sound quality is excellent in my humble opinion but I am no expert.
I would recommend these to anyone.
Got these for my son & he loves them, a real premium quality & time between charges are amazing (about 3 days of usage)
Purchased these headphones and found they were easy to set up and use. I have had them for a few weeks now and still not had to recharge them yet.
Very comfortable to wear, easy to adjust, looked smart. Good price, unfortunately I had to return them as they didn’t meet my requirements. I needed earphones with microphone to use on my laptop for dictation, occasionally for listening to music or podcasts. The earphones are attractive and would make an excellent Christmas present.
It’s my 3rd pair from them the second one was faulty so bought a new one happy with it,
I would recommend buying through Amazon prime it’s 10 cheape
This is very good quality. It has a good sound with effective noise cancelling and the additional accessories make it very worthwhile.
I have bought a pair of these headphones and they were so good that when they broke I bought another pair, the audio quality ranges from good to great but I did notice a change in quality from my old and new headphones
My son bought these and has said they are really good
I had a pair for a year and unfortunately I broke them.
so I got another pair and they are still as amazing as ever.
Really good product, much better than ear pods.
I use them at the gym, when I’m on the train/bus/etc, walking, shopping everything.
They are a good product and I recommend them to anyone looking for headphones
All I have to say is the battery life on this thing is longer than any Bluetooth headphone I have ever owned. Not to say the battery doesn’t run out. It does; just takes long.
Headphones are a difficult thing to find that match well with you however this pair seems to do the job very well. The battery life is really good as it seems to last longer than advertised at times and it doesn’t take too long to charge. The price is very good which risks the sound quality unfortunately not reaching perfection. This does not mean it is a bad product. Just the opposite in fact. These are probably the best set of headphones you could acquire within this price range.
Stylish, nicely fits over the ears and does not hurt. Sounds great too. Battery life will last me a good week with 2-4hrs a day.
My partner uses these at night during the week so not to disturb me while I’m asleep and she’s pleased with them in that they’re good sound quality and I haven’t been woken up by the TV since. Charge seems to be good too as once a week is ample and probably not necessary to be honest. Good purchase.
I am editing an earlier review. That review awarded one star, because after three perfectly fine uses of the headphones, I found myself completely unable to power the things back on. So they worked, comfortably and adequately, for about three weeks before dying. I hadn’t kept the original packing, either, so was unable to return them: I moaned that at least it was only 30 down the drain.
Within a day of that review going live, the company made contact and simply and without any hesitation offered to ship me a replacement pair, no charge, no obligation. To be 100% clear about it, no-one at any point even so much as *hinted* at a sort-of ‘make your review nicer and we’ll send you a replacement’ bargain or deal. It was very simply: would you like a replacement pair of headphones, because we’re happy to send them to you and apologies for your poor experience with our product.
I was and am, frankly, astonished. I didn’t have to provide proof of purchase or any other form of proof that the original pair were really toast (which is just as well, as they’d gone into the bin by that stage!) Simply, and generously, they sent me a new pair which arrived within 2 days and are working fine.
I’m a classical music buff: I care about audio quality, though not to $10,000-per-cable levels of audiophile hocus-pocus. As I originally reviewed, these headphones are really OK for comfort and more than adequate for listening to classical music, and I was -and am once again- glad I own them. I’m still knocking a star off the review, because new headphones shouldn’t just die like my original pair did, but the level of customer care shown by the vendors to me has been completely exceptional and that, combined with their more-than-good-enough headphones mean they deserve a recommendation.
Great set of head phones, very comfy on my ears.
A good earphone with excellent battery life. The only downside is that the volume could be better.
So my first headphones came in not working properly, but they sent me a replacement and they work! It’s a good price for what you get, wireless headphones, they work and feel really nice to wear.
If you’re on a budget this can be good, I personally use this for jogging and such. Thank you : )!
These sound great, the battery lasts, they are light.
However, they are a little small. I have a small head and they only just extend far enough.
Amazing product , I got replacement because the one I bought was defective and I am very vert satisfied, clean loud sound , I can even hear in the underground (I cannot hear to much but much better from the defective one.)
Battery 11/10 I forget to charge it,
Volume 9/10 its very satisfied
Everything else it’s good so far. Hopefully I won’t have surprises after couple of days.
These headphones are reasonably comfortable to wear, and sound quality is good. I like heavy bass, and this definitely comes through on the bass setting on the EQ (3 options – normal, voice and enhanced bass). Controls are relatively easy to operate by feel so its just a matter of remembering which button does what. Pairing on Bluetooth has not been a problem, and the range is OK, I can walk away 1 or 2 rooms in my flat and still get a signal. Battery life seems very good – I’ve had several long sessions of use, and still got plenty of life left from the original charge. I haven’t really tested the noise cancelling yet, or taken any calls.
The headphones come with a charging lead, 3.5mm jack lead, and a storage bag.
For what was a very reasonable price, I would definitely recommend these headphones.
I will admit that I am not into branded products so can not compare anything to them, but if something works perfectly for me then I will be the first to give credit where it’s due and these headphones certainly deserve five stars!
I bought them for my television in bedroom so as not to disturb anyone else in the household, I’m a bit of an insomniac, and they have stopped the rest of family complaining about the volume on my TV. I feel like I am in a cinema when watching anything now and can’t hear anything from outside of the room with them on. The ear pieces are incredibly soft and extremely comfortable, so much so that I have fallen asleep many times whilst wearing them.
The only negative thing I can say about these headphones is that the Bluetooth has disconnected several times from the TV for no apparent reason.
I would definitely recommend these headphones to anyone looking for a great set at a good price. (Purchased on Amazon Prime Day 2022)
Unboxing the Doqaus Care 1’s and you’re immediately impressed by the care and attention taken to the packaging and presentation of the product. They look, feel and sound immense and you feel a sense of guilt for paying less than 30 for them. These headphones should be costing in the region of 150. With 3 built in settings of Vocal – Equilibrium – Heavy Bass mode, the Care 1 handles every ambient note of the Cocteau Twins to the most thunderous bass of Motorhead with ease. I’ve not tried the built in microphone / phone set up yet. I’m too busy walking around listening the Bluetooth sounds ! I’m not sure why this bespoke company isn’t charging exorbitant prices like some of their more ‘high-end’ competitors – But I’m sure glad they aren’t . Don’t let the low price or even their non household name distract you. These are high end headphones with out the high end price tag !!
hese are super easy to use and pair, but the instruction manual enclosed really helps with learning all the features. i’ve only had one issue with pairing with a 2nd device after disconnecting from the 1st device, but i think that this was just me being too quick to swap to a new device whilst still playing audio. no issues since! the headphones seamlessly connect to my laptop and to my phone mere seconds after being switched on and the control buttons are really conveniently placed. can’t fault them!! used them on a busy train recently and the difference in external noise when i finished my podcast and took them off was incredible. i love that they come in a pouch and with their own aux cable too.
I’ve always been a snob when it comes to hi-fi equipment, turning my nose up at “lesser known” brands that dared to challenge the hegemony of big names like Sennheiser, Sony, Bose, AKG and Audio Technica etc. For years I had bought smallish Sennheiser headphones to wear on the train to work, acutely aware that I thought I looked a bit of an idiot in a full-size pair. Well, times change and what I thought was a somewhat ridiculous look became the norm, not only for people on trains but for pedestrians and joggers. Anyway, to get to the point: I decided I fancied moving into the real world and started looking for a pair of Bluetooth ‘phones, which seemed to be the way the hi-fi industry was moving. A weeks of trawling Amazon I settled on the Doqaus Care 1s after carefully taking in reviews from other buyers. Surely the Care 1s couldn’t be as good as they said? Answer: yes they could. Firstly, they sound amazing – rich, clear, detailed, powerful and equally at home with different genres like folk, rock and electronica – and every bit as good as bigger brand rivals. Secondly, the battery life is brilliant. Thirdly, they are so comfortable, the ear cups encapsulating my ears to the exclusion of most extraneous noise. Oh, and they paired with my smartphone instantly. But..and it is a small but…the controls on the side of one of the ear cups are very small and fiddly and difficult to locate without taking off the headphones. And, to my disappointment, the finish on one of the cushions is a less than perfect. A small point but quality control must have had an off day when it passed this pair. Notwithstanding these niggles, I can thoroughly recommend the Doqaus Care 1s.
** I have not mentioned noise cancellation or anything to do with its suitability for phone calls as I use these purely for listening to music.**
So I’ve had mine for nearly 10 months and they are still like the day i got them.
I had concerns that they would break. I don’t travel with them, so i guess that helps.
They feel really good on. I have a large head. Not filled with much though lol
These fit me very well and fit nicely over my ears. If you have a bigger head, then the head band may start to feel tight. It doesn’t extend any further for me.
I do not use the Bluetooth. I tested it for fun and it worked great but for my needs Bluetooth has to much latency.
As for noise cancellation, I’m not sure mine said it had any but can confirm it doesn’t. The seal over the ears is the only noise dampening it has. Maybe it’s a Bluetooth feature?
Sound wise, I’m not expert so I can’t answer this. I have no complaints at all
I am surprisingly impressed for the price!
Ive owned these headphones for over a year so far. I love them. They are comfy and the sound quality is decent.
The battery life is fairly long lasting but never let it run low. Every 30 seconds it will say “low power please charge” in a very annoying voice. Its awful. Playing the message every 5 minutes or so is fine but there is no reason for it to be played so frequently. Its like its taunting me for not being near a charger. Worst thing is, this message plays when you can still get another hour or so of use out of them so if you are stuck outside, you have to be constantly interupted for a fairly long time. Been a few walks ive been on where its frustrated me so much ive just stopped using them.
If they fixed that 1 issue, these would be the perfect headphones
WOW..How much!
If you want cheap! great sounding, long battery life headphones buy these.
Sound quality Brilliant. (I also have Soundcore Q30’s, Sennhieser, Bose QC35, Plantronic headphones) and these 30 headphones are a great cheap alternative, okay the noise cancelation is not going to match Bose but battery and sound do. I would love to hear what the Doquas care 2 model sound like for 20 more.
Something i do like is comfort. Bose are 10/10, these are 7.5/10 so not far off(i do feel a little pressure on bottom of cups but i do have a huge heed.) These are also heavier than the Bose.
Sound quality. Bose 9/10, these 8.5/10.
Noise cancelation. Bose 9.5/10, these 7/10.
Battery. Bose 7/10, these 10/10.
Bass. Bose 7.5/10. these 8.5/10.
Build quality. Bose 9.5/10, these 8/10.
Longevity. Bose 9/10 (i have already replaced the pads after 4 year) These Who knows yet. I don’t think you can replace the battery, but the Bose you can.
Price when i bought Bose 249.99. These 39.99. You do the Math.
Judging by reviews i look for daily on all top (expensive) models the Bose QC 35’s are now being phased out for the Bose QC45 where noise cancelation is slightly better than QC35’s but sound clarity is lesser.
I bought these because I was looking for some good noise cancelling headphones. I didn’t wanna spend a stupid amount of money but still needed good quality noise cancellation because I’m autistic and sometimes need to drown out the noise of the outside world, anyone who’s autistic knows we hear *every* annoying sound out there – drippy pipes, fridge buzzing, dog barking on the other side of town (ok slight exaggeration but not far from the truth) so good noise cancellation is a MUST, and wow I’m super impressed with these.
Now obviously if you’re not playing music you’re still gonna hear a lot of (muffled) outside noise, but if you’re playing music at a decent volume you hear NOTHING. I like my music loud, but not deafening, so take that into account if your listening habits are different to mine. But for this price? Unbelievable quality.
Now in terms of sound quality, I’m also very impressed.
The bass is super prominent but not in a brain-pounding way, just enough to make you go “oh damn, that’s some good bass” yknow?
A lot of the time with cheap-ish headphones, the louder the volume is the more ~crackly~ the sound is – you don’t get any of that with these.
I can’t yet comment on battery life as I’ve only used them for ~5 hours total, mostly through the AUX plugged into my laptop, so if I remember to I’ll update on that when the battery dies.
The one downfall I can mention is that you can hear whatever’s playing outside the headphones, as shown in the video, so keep that in mind. I won’t be using these much outside of my home, so this won’t really affect me, but it’s something that should be noted.
I decided to listen to a few of my regular artists/genres to test out the listening experience, for anyone interested in that sort of thing;
The Prodigy/general bass-heavy techno – amazing! like I’ve mentioned, the bass is super heavy which makes any sort of techno/dance a joy to listen to. Particularly on the songs Invaders Must Die and No Good.
Rage Against The Machine – ohh lord <3 you really feel those drums in your chest, and the bassline in Killing In The Name Of feels like a punch to the gut - in a good way!
Metal - the genre I'm gonna be the harshest on as I listen to it a LOT. I tested this out on three songs; Your Betrayal by Bullet For My Valentine, Spit by Kittie and Nero Forte by Slipknot.
Your Betrayal is super drum-heavy, with some whispered vocals, and YESSSSS it sounded great!
Spit is lowkey chaotic, with growling/screaming vocals, and super chaotic instrumentals, and it sounded incredible! So so good.
Nero Forte is an incredible mix of heavy instrumentals and interesting deck-work, and wowowow the quality somehow improves with these headphones, the harmonies on the chorus sounded even better than usual and the DRUMS omg the drums stole the show.
All in all, I've only had these for a day so I'll update if the quality drops/anything goes wrong, but so far I'm SO impressed by the quality I received for like 30. I can't recommend these enough! (also the box was a bit dinged up but the headphones are perfect)
Review after 6 months! 🙂
Had been pondering over buying some over-head headphones for a while; but was sceptical as I had always found them uncomfortable, but was pushed to buy them after the frustration of paying 20-30 for in-ear headphones, always to have them break on me after 6 months – I always find the sound quality decreasing after just a few months or the connections wearing on wired ones. I won an amazon voucher at work and decided to give these a go as the price seemed good, and the reviews promising. I must say; I was NOT disappointed! 😀 Probably the best 25 I’ve spent in a long while!
I’ve had these headphones for 6 months now and they are fabulous for casual use!
Sound quality is fab, and they block out lots of noise on the busy roads on my walks to work. The EQ modes are really useful, the headphone sound output range is wonderful, they go very loud which I find great for on commutes or in the gym. I’m slightly hard of hearing from working in nightclubs and I usually find earphones don’t go loud enough or cancel out background noise for me even if they claim to; but these are wonderful!
I have avoided over-head products for a while as they usually hurt my ears, but the padding on these is like pillows! They keep sound out/in, your ears warm in the winter haha, and don’t give me a headache likes others in the past! I’ve worn them on long runs too, and I don’t find they get too sweaty either! Highly recommend for the comfort alone!
They’re stylish, they look and feel a LOT more expensive than the 25 I paid, real quality product. The folding function is sleek and compact for travelling, I am pretty clumsy, and I don’t feel as if they are going to break if squashed in my bag! They come in a nice so range bag, the would be a great gift as the quality far exceeds the price you pay.
They are extremely versatile with the Bluetooth function or wired. I need Bluetooth for when listening on my iPad Pro as there’s is no headphone jack, and I use the wire for when gaming. The sound quality is superior on both. I can’t comment from a music industry standard – but I am quite picky with headphones as I do like to hear good range in my music, and I feel that these provide that.
May I say, perhaps the best part is the battery life! God, I use these headphones on Bluetooth mode DAILY, and I hardly have to charge them! I am shocked when I connect them up to my phone and they STILL have battery. I think I only charge them maybe once every 2 weeks? Not had them die on me yet anyhow, and I travel quite a bit down to London on long journeys, overnight stays and whatnot, and I don’t worry about the charge on them ever. They don’t seem to overly drain my phone battery either, like other Bluetooth devices have before! My phone Battery life is questionable, so it’s a concern for me, but these don’t seem to bother it much! The headphones seem to turn off and disconnect if you don’t use them for a little while which really helps if you’re forgetful like me.
Another nice touch is the welcoming voice you’re greated with as you turn these on/off, or connected to Bluetooth! The lady gives a charming “Hi!” And “Bye!” Which I can sometimes find cheesy or automated sounding; but she seems chirpy and unique. Sounds strange but it’s something that really makes a difference, some of the ones I’ve had in the past make me cringe or get annoying, but somehow the one on these headphones really brightens your day!
The one thing that I would warn of is that I don’t think the microphone feature is great on these, whoever I’m calling says I sound far away… but I don’t use them much for this, so it doesn’t bother me too much, but I’d say if you want these as gaming headphones, I’d avoid as the mic doesn’t come near enough your mouth.
They come with a warranty (and extended if you register the product) which I will certainly be making use of if they eventually break (if within warranty) as they are so great, I will want another pair.
6 months in and no complaints or deteriorating at all. These headphones are a a star purchase for the price! Could not recommend more!
Having returned a more expensive set of named headphones, because of lip sync, on my Amazon fire cube 2nd generation.
Laughing at my friend, and even saying to him, you will have something else to send back, as he posts everything for me as I’m disabled.
On opening the box, i pulled the headphones out, and was greeted to a very pleasant weight, not to heavy, but generally good.
At 61, I’m not tec savvy, turning the TV set on, now is about as good as i get.
But the fire TV cube, helps me with that.
So quitting the man inside me, i looked at the instructions and found it easy to connect to my fire cube.
This is about the worst thing about this product, and it’s got a tiny on, off button that is recessed almost into the headphones, and tricky to use, but it’s a tiny flaw, with other benefits, that cancel this out.
Ok, back to story, I’m now set up, and the pairing done to my Amazon fire cube, i started watch Netflix.
A tiny lip sync problem that doesn’t spoil your entertainment.
Now I’m listening, and thinking it’s not very loud, but ok ish for the money.
Back to the unmanly part, as i look again at the instructions.
And i noticed that the opposite headphone, it had, pause, play and the volume up and down to perfection, and tunes in and paired, instantly, to your fire cube.
Its never going to beat Bose or ultra high sound, but at this price, its pretty dam close, such a good sound, for a very low priced item!
Try them yourself, Amazon will except returns, but if you buy them, I’m sure at this price, you wont return them.
Give em a go bay, as we say in Kernow, look it up you Emmett ( look that 1 up 2 ) lol.
if you’re looking for a set of headphones under 60, these are them.
Its been about a week since these headphones were delivered.
SO EASY to use.
Hold down the power on switch, and you get a nice English lady saying ” power on ” and that’s it! Connected and working.
And friends have listened to them, and were amazed they were under 30.
Beautiful sound system, at a price we can afford.
Initial impression is that these headphones are pretty good quality, sound very good and are very comfortable to wear.
No comment can be made on reliability over the longer term as only just purchased.
However, the instructions make no reference to changing the rechargeable battery when it comes to the end of its life.
I have emailed Doqaus and eventually, after 3 emails, got a reply of sorts-they state the battery, “can be used for 3 years”.
They go on to say if the battery fails in this time they would replace it but don’t say if this would be a free replacement and give no guidance on how to dismantle the headphones in order to do this.
I think my conclusion is that the battery is not really intended to be replaced and once it fails the headphones have come to the end of their life……..seems like built-in obsolescence and this does not impress me. If the battery were intended to be replaced, surely instructions would be totally clear about this.
For this reason I would only give the headphones a 3 star rating .
UPDATE TO MY INITIAL REVIEW:
I have had further contact from Doqaus who advise that it is their belief that most bluetooth headphones have batteries which are not replaceable by the customer…..this may well be true.
They seem genuinely concerned that I am not completely happy and have extended my warranty to two years.
I get a very strong impression that they are making great efforts to provide excellent customer care and I must say I am very impressed with the sound quality of the headphones………outstanding for the price : indeed, outstanding for a much higher price, I would suggest.
I have now increased the star rating to 4 stars and it would definitely be 5 stars if the design were such that the batteries could be changed by the customer in, say, 4 or 5 years time if necessary. It seems sad that so many products we buy are destined for landfill when improved design to give them a much longer life.
I would conclude by saying, however, that the customer support and communication from Doqaus has been 5 star.
