DOQAUS Bluetooth Headphones Over Ear, Foldable Wireless
DOQAUS Bluetooth Headphones Over Ear, Foldable Wireless Headphones with 3 EQ Modes, 52 Hrs Playtime, Built-in Mic & Wired Mode, Soft Memory-Protein Earmuffs for Office Cellphone PC Tablet(Rose Gold)
These work great for work meetings, connect easily with different devices and are comfortable for meetings that drag for hours. As far as I can tell they don’t have noise cancellation but then I never expected them to. Great sound and comfortable, what more do you need?
Third pair now, last about 2 years ish. But they get hammered by me, I’ve hiked in winter with them on. Good battery and at the price I don’t mind buying. Afresh set every few years.
I bought these headphones on a whim, just because I liked the color, but I didn’t think too much about any other features it has. Honestly, they became one of my most favorite headphones of all time! The sound quality is great, the battery lasts ages, and you can wear them for workouts as the sweat doesn’t damage them. Most of all, the microphone is very good, so you can easily speak to your friends or family over the phone (connected via Bluetooth to the headphones) while wearing them. All in all, amazing! The only downside is if you listen to loud music like me (I am a little bit deaf), then people can hear it too and get annoyed with you.
Got these for really cheap and for the price it’s got good everything and they have lasted me for probably over a year now only issue is that it takes a while to get used to the feel of them so they might hurt if one for to long
Love these, the sound is great, they are comfortable, connected easily, it’s the first time I’ve gone for wireless and for the money these are great. They also come with a jack lead too.
Great feedback from my teenage son. Great sound and good to have the ability to change the sound tone. Good big ear cuffs and give a good seal. Fully adjustable to fit all head sizes. Would highly recommend.
These have been my favourite headphones for a long while, my last pair lasted me almost 4 years! I was a bit disappointed that the control buttons are not integrated into the outer circle bit but maybe it was causing issues for people, not for me though. I also think maybe this model is a bit quieter than the last but not a huge issue. Overall will definitely be buying again. Other people must like them too because I saw someone wearing the exact same pair as mine the other day!
I like that there are options for either wired or Bluetooth, as I can go between both especially for walking.
It came in a lovely bag with clear instructions and the bass is to die for!
Not to loud, as I can no longer listen to ridiculously loud music as I used to.
Really great Prime Day purchase
Little back story.
I had a pair of Beats by Dre, they were expensive and had incredible sound and build quality – but I left them in an Uber after about 1.5 years of owning them and the Uber driver just stole them. Refused to answer messages or even Uber.
I wish that man untold flat tires.
Anyway moving on, I got a pair of other headphones, mid priced. They were good but I was a bit rough with them as I tried to fit a bag in a locker somewhere in Latvia. Pulled the foam off the ear so only one side had the foam ear covering and one side had bare plastic. I used them without shame for a further 3 weeks. But I looked like a fool and it was sore on my ear.
So I moved onto a pair of nice Marshall headphones and lost them soo you know what I gave up on having really nice things and wanted a low to mid priced headphone and ended up here.
What I would say is, I’ve not lost these things yet, I think I’ve charged them once between visiting 6 countries recently and they are comfortable and play music. The noise cancelling isn’t as good as higher priced headphones and the quality overall isn’t going to be as good as higher priced ones but they do a good job. Sound quality is good, the feel is good and the look is good. They do a job at a price that’s friendly to idiots who lose things constantly. Like me.
Only just got them will rate battery life later really easy to set up on Bluetooth I am 78 and took 2 minutes to pair it to my smart tv from ordering to receiving 100% good thank you
I can’t believe how good these headphones are; they sound incredible and are very comfortable to wear. They may not be advertised as noise cancelling, but the thickness and quality of the ear muffs blocks ambient noise sufficiently to create a pleasurable audio experience. Happy to recommend.
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.
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.
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!
THESE HEADPHONES GENUINELY LAST ME WEEKS. I listen to music about 3 hours a day while doing school work etc and the sound quality is great for the price. These are the best pair of headphones ive ever owned and are perfect for students who have limited room in their bag.
Love these headphones and i get sm compliments that they look cute on me
the battery life!!! Sometimes dont need to charge it for 2 weeks+
I like the audio but sometimes there’s random beeping idk why maybe i press the +volume button too much
My heads fairly small, and most headphones don’t properly fit, however these fit perfectly with the ability to adjust for longer. They fold and come with a small draw string bag for easy transportation. The service is good and rarely seems to disconnect randomly unlike some other cheap headphones. They seem stable and durable enough for usual everyday use.
This is my third headphone from this company . My first was stolen my second got damage whereby a rattling noise was coming from the left side anytime I jogged- I did reach out to the company for a refund since March but never heard from them back. I tried a different brand but that needed charging so frequently
My third and hopefully my last headphones I bought was this one last month – since charging it on arrival I haven’t had to charge it again . I use this headphones every morning without fail for my morning jog.
The battery’s life is so good. ( that’s why I came back to this brand headphone’s)
The settings heavy base mode is my favourite but their are 3 more to choose from
The design and colour is perfect I got khaki this time and it’s well cute
Super happy this time round !
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)
Good points
1. They look very nice and sleek, the design is very pleasant, the quality is very good and the padding around the ears is very soft. They are not small in any way over the ears but they are not big either. I guess I was expecting some bulky headphones but they were smaller than I expected. My ears are covered perfectly but that is highly subjective as it depends on your size.
2. The sound is very good but I am a neophyte regarding sound stuff.
3. The Bluetooth is pretty seamless and works perfectly with my phone and other devices. Phone conversations are good and I am heard at the other end without any issues.
4. The battery life is amazing. I got them at 70% charge and used them heavily for a full week, on average 9 hours a day if not more before they got to 10% and asked me to charge them. They charged in about 2 hours back to full charge. It does disconnect from a device if not used for 5 minutes which helps preserve battery life.
5. I tried them with the provided cable and it’s as good as wireless. The cable is also pretty and red and looks nice. It’s about 1m long.
Bad points
There’s 2 things that bother me about these headphones.
1. The padding over the head is not very thick and after long use, maybe 4-5 hours, my head starts to hurt a bit. I reposition these and wiggle them around and it’s fine. I noticed this a lot more when I first got them but less so now after about 3 weeks. Either they are getting a bit looser or I am getting used to it. It was quite annoying to begin with but less so now. Still, the top of my head sometimes hurts in long sessions.
2. The voice doesn’t always work on non phones. I tried these wirelessly with my laptop and Discord and the other party could not hear me all the time. As the cable provided does not work with voice, I ended up not using them. I also had issues trying to talk over some apps on my laptop like Microsoft Teams for work. They work fine on Teams on my phone so it seems to be a laptop related issue. However, this means I cannot rely on them for conversations on my laptop. For me this is not a deal breaker as I got them to mainly listen to music on my phone or phone calls but may be an issue for others. I tried them on 2 different laptops and the issues persists.
Overall, I am pleased with them even though they could be slightly better but they serve the purpose I had in mind for them and can see myself using them for the foreseeable future.
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.
