DOQAUS Bluetooth Headphones Over Ear, 9 EQ Modes, 90H Playtime Headphones Wireless with Deep Bass, Foldable Headphone with APP Control, Mic, Wired Mode for Travel Home Office Phone PC, Shadow Grey

These headphones are the best I have ever owned and believe me, at 61 years of age, that's a lot of headphones. I only ever listen to YouTube videos playing while I sleep at night and the odd occasion when my other headphones need charging. I find that when I watch YouTube music HD videos, the sound quality is amazing. I bought them back on 5th November 2024 and a few days ago one of the ear pads has come off and the other is starting to go but you can expect that if you're moving about in your sleep a lot and with the summer heat and sweating, you have to expect that. Not sure if I should buy the replacement ear pads at £22.80 or just buy the headphones again. Good value for money, easy to use and light weight, colour black and cream. The fit and ear support is excellent. I have to rechargeabout once aweek after I use them..

I'm not an audiophile, so my knowledge of headphones is limited. I bought these on a whim to replace my dying, crumbling old PS4 headphones (rip). But they are AMAZING. They're cheap, which is an instant win. They have decent bluetooth range, which isn't that big of a deal considering I'm pretty much gonna be next to whatever device it's connected to anyway. They fit PERFECTLY, and are comfortable as hell, the battery life is SUPER long, and audio sounds great (even better when paired with something like Peace APO on Windows). Easy to connect, easy to adjust, all around amazing. Don't hesitate to buy them.

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.

I got my Care 1's three years ago in Sept 2019 and have thoroughly loved them - great price, sound, comfortability, battery life and the folding feature with carry bag was perfect for my use regularly putting them in a backpack. Used them most days. About 1.5 years in, the smooth rubbery padding along the headband part came loose. Wrapped black electrical tape aroud that which was the perfect fix - you can barely tell, hasn't came up or peeled off. Shortly after I dropped them which snapped the plastic holding the earpiece in and broke the buttons. Managed to fix the buttons by taking it apart - the rocker was just dislodged - and the plastic was fixed by black electrical tape again! I wear glasses and finally this month (Nov 2022) the padding ripped where the end of my glasses poked into the inside seam of the padding ring. I emailed customer service asking if they'd sell me replacement pads but on confirming my order number they sent me a completely new pair of Care 1's free of charge, saying they don't sell replacement pads! Extremely generous and I'm very thankful. This is well beyond their warranty and hopefully is a sign you won't have any problems if you ever need to deal with their customer support. YOU WILL WANT TO NOTE: The new model they sent me is different to the old model I got three years ago (different button placements, more oval ear shape, different audio cues for powering on/off etc). Of particular importance: although still enjoyable and for most people it'll be perfectly acceptable, the sound quality is worse in the new model with ability to hit sub bass notes suffering the most, and also the sound is just a slight off, the best way I can describe it is it very slightly sounds like when you have squeezed your nose and blown so your ears pop and they haven't popped back again (a tiny bit). It's not a massive downgrade at all, I'm particularly into bassy music and did notice fairly quickly, but I still had to compare them side by side a few times (connected to same phone playing same music) to fully pick out the differences. I'd still be happy with them if I paid the full price for them and it's up to you to decide what you buy. ----- But you should know older reviews may be reviewing a completely different set of headphones with (I think possibly) different speaker drivers as well as cosmetic differences! ----- For reference, the old set has the buttons not on the edge but as a rocker on the flat of the right ear (you tap the flat bit at the front, bottom or back) and the eq is not a button but integrated into the on/off slider.

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! :D 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!

Excellent quality! Sound is really is of high standard. Would definitely buy it again. A bargain for the quality. Battery lasts long hours!

I've had or tried a few pairs of headphones now, and have either found them uncomfortable, too big on my apparent small head, too tight and give me headaches, or just not good sound wise. These fit my head perfectly and are comfortable on the ears. The cups fit right over my ears so there's no pressure on the ears themselves and the cushioning is great around the ear lobes. I do find the top of the headphones quite hard on my head though, despite there being some cushioning, so I personally wouldn't be able to wear them for long periods, but I don't intend to as I suffer with headaches/migraines so have to be careful how long I use them for anyway. I find the sound of them pretty good, but I'm no expert on this. I would say that the Soundcore Q30 and Sennheiser HD450T headphones I previously tried were probably better sound wise, but the Soundcores were too big for my head and the Sennheiser were too tight. I've tried the 3 different sound modes and can't say that I noticed much difference between the EQ and extra bass modes but I do notice a difference in the vocal mode (less base). I haven't had them long enough to comment on battery life at the moment. When I got them they had around 85% battery and they're currently on 70% and I've used them about 4 times listening for about half an hour each time, so they seem like they should last a good while before needing to be recharged. I do really love the look of these headphones. They look really trendy. I got the grey and beige ones and the grey is like a 'gun metal' dark grey as described with some cars, coupled with the beige underneath they look a bit more interesting than standard black headphones. All in all I'm currently pleased with them. I didn't need anything super amazing as I can't use them for long and don't want Nikki Minaj Superbass to them, due to suffering with frequent headaches/migraines, so they do the trick for me.

Well, I mean, they are £25, so I wasn't expecting studio sound quality earphones, but the base is dulled and muddy on pure music. I like base, but a clear thump, not a loud dull whomp. They do have moderate mid-range, but the top end is pretty much non-existent. But, whatever, like I said, cheap, cheerful and really used just for the occasional gaming session, and most budget earphones ramp up the bass and leave the top end wanting a bit. But like I said, I'm using just for gaming with (using with PC and Quest 2). The EQ setting doesn't do anything on wired, so can't alter the sound. First off, the bluetooth connection to a PC simply did not work. Sure, the PC saw the headphones, even connected, but no sound. It worked with my phone though, so go figure. Fine, not a deal breaker, I'll just use the provided cable to connect to the audio output on the controller. I'm not listening to jazz or orchestral music, so the sound quality was fine for gaming. Every time I'd finish playing, they are popped into the bag and put away. I have now had for 6 weeks or so. They have been used for less than 10 hours I would guess in that time. And last night they broke, no audio at all from the left ear. You get what you pay for I guess, but I would have liked a lifespan that was more than £2.50 per hour of use. Now the real plus though. They have an email address on the product page, so I emailed them directly and pointed out the issue. Had a reply very quickly and they have sorted a replacement with no hassle at all. So, they do get a lot of kudos for support. Hopefully the next ones will live a good while longer. Nice to know they are standing by their 18 month warranty, so they do deserve a thumbs up for that. So, when working, an OK budget option, but if you are listening to music with a lot of top end sparkle, this might be a tad lacking, and tracks with heavy base sound a bit muddy. Other pluses just for balance, they are super comfortable and don't look like a budget option. They actually look better than the Dr Dre Beats the missus has.
