Consumer Audio HD 250BT Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Headphone with AAC, aptX™, aptX™ Low Latency, transducer technology and build-in microphone- 25 hour battery life, USB-C fast charging – Black

I've been a Sennheiser fan for years with ear buds. Decided to give these a try. Good, full sound. Comfortable and easy BT pairing. If I have anything to complain about it's that the bass is a bit too heavy. I used the equalizer setting in my tablet and MP3 player to drop it a bit and boost mid and high levels. I'm pleased with the sound and find the price very reasonable for the sound I get. Haven't used them yet to the point I've exhausted the batteries so I'm happy about that as well. Now I need a sign with my name on it so the nurse can find me in the doctor's waiting room while listening to these and reading a book.

Works as advertised with my iphone13 using Apple’s AAC codec. Price is reasonable and the device looks well made. I can’t see a confirmation of the headphone codec but the sound is much better than the base level subband (SBC) codec that works on all Bluetooth audio devices. There is no reason to invest in a more expensive headset with aptX or aptxHD since iPhones don’t support them. Compared to the similar BT over ear JBL model sound is subjectively brighter- not so much boomy base.

I have been trying to get a set of over ear Bluetooth headphones (without the microphone boom) for working. I'm in Zoom meetings all day so I want something more comfortable than my Tozo earbuds, BUT the microphone needs to be pretty high quality. This is the THIRD pair of headphones I bought in my quest, and the third I'm returning (Sorry Amazon). The sound quality is exactly what you would expect from Sennheiser - Excellent. I haven't heard my music through high quality cans like this for a long time. Lots of bass, good mid and high ranges. But when I tested the microphone (recorded myself via Zoom) they were better than the really cheap headphones I previously bought, but still pretty garbled and muffled. Playing a clip I recorded using my earbuds vs these was a night and day difference. They feel pretty cheap and loose, but that's to be expected from Sennheisers at this price point. Also note that these are on-ear, not over-ear. The ear cups are pretty small. There is no padding on the headband, but they're really light, so I don't see that being a big deal. All in all they're nice headphones for the price if you want to listen to music and have the occasional call, but they are not suited for professional use in daily Zoom meetings. My quest continues...

It's been almost a year and six months and I'm here to say, I drop these at least once a week, dropped it from the second floor once, last week, I left it on the ground in the snow after work and thought I lost it. I would it three days later and it was fine. TMI, I also dropped it in a toilet bowl more than once. It withstood the six rounds of sanitation. It sometimes has static and I have to restart my phone so I have no idea where that problem is from. The sound is just okay. Better than Walmart or Target brands but not ad good as higher end Sennheisers. It's a great day to day to day headphone. The fitting is wiggly over my ears, hence all the dropping, not snug at all. So, I wouldn't use it for runs since I'd have to keep readjusting. The call microphone isn't great either. The battery is still as good as when I got them. For reference, I use these everyday. I got them for $35 and I recommend it to all the klutz clumsy folks out there who know that we can't afford to trust ourselves with expensive equipment

Low rating on noise cancellation as they aren't noise cancelling headphones. They sound great. They feel great on my head for the hour at a time I use them. Downside is the app you need to set equalization presets. IMHO, that app wants too much personal info for too little return. I'll just keep using the equalizer in my music player. In other words, don't download the app. edit, 2 months later. The app tells you the battery charge. Still, don't bother with the app, just charge the thing every chance you get. That said, I love these things. They sound great. They pair reliably to my phone. Considering this is the second time I've upgraded my opinion, yeah, for $40 buy these instead of earbuds. Yeah, you'll stand out wearing these as opposed to ear buds, but it's worth it. (edit Nov 18, 2022) I've had these things for a few weeks now, and I love them. I've done A+B tests with my 20 year old $200 wired headsets, these sound better. While working out I can actually play a song and focus on the bass guitar. Or the drummer. Even that weird background sound a keyboardist does. As someone who wrote a Bluetooth stack 22 years ago I would have never thought BT had the bandwidth for this fidelity. My BT phone to car stereo sure as stinky stuff doesn't. Only problem is when they are loose enough to be comfortable they tend to slide off when I bend over, like when stretching I need to grab my ankle. Solution? When bending over use one hand to hold them in place. They look and feel like cheap plastic so I'll take good care of them. But for the money, yeah, 2 thumbs up with 5 stars between them.

Sound is good but the buttons to pair and volume buttons are so small it is hard to just press one. Also when pressing the pair button the button jammed in the hole and had to use a needle to pry it back out. When using the headphones press the buttons lightly. For the price they are woth it.

Well, this purchase was sadly another lesson in getting what you pay for. While the signature Sennheiser sound-quality is a fantastic draw for this price-point, the flimsy headband kills the deal. While the headphones started out with a comfortably secure fit, the headband pretty quickly lost its form and thus ability to hold the phones against my head after the first month. Nevermind headbanging, I can't even bend over to pull weeds in the yard anymore without these headphones wanting to slip forward and fall off my head. Additionally, the drivers don't maintain their vertical adjustments up and down the headband as securely as they used to; they just kinda slip up and down. That means these headphones are a no-go for the gym, and they're pretty much limited to walking around. All these problems are further compounded if you have long or thick hair. The software also sadly leaves something to be desired. While it's nice that these headphones can connect to multiple devices simultaneously, the second you wander out of range of one of them... say, your laptop while walking out the door in the morning listening to a podcast on your phone, the headphones will tell you, "lost connection," and then repeat it every twenty seconds indefinitely until you restart the headphones. No software update exists within the app to overcome this issue, and you'll see on the Reddit boards that it drives quite a few owners insane.

An excellent product, At a reasonable price. Bluetooth connectivity works flawlessly, with excellent sound? This is the third set of these headphones I have bought (the other two were lost).
