Baseus Bowie 30 Max Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, Head Tracking Spatial Audio, LDAC Hi-Res Wireless Sound, 65H Playtime, Comfort Fit, Clear Calls, App Control, Bluetooth 5.4 Headphones Over Ear

This is incredible value for $14 with coupon TBH. I haven't run across over the ear wireless headphones at this price that had a combo meal start with good sound, LDAC and decent ANC. FYI - I did not install the app. I'm using a VLC and its EQ. Right out of the box the sound is okay to nah, pretty much flat and dead, but thanks god to this HP takes EQ really well same goes for their wireless earbuds Bowie MA10. I use the same EQ saved settings for Baseus earbuds for this and the sound instantly open up and much louder too. The clamming force isn't as good compared to B&W. Headphone will slide if you move your head and this is not a head shape issue. Here is my break down. Low - Not earth-shaking bass or rumble the cups, but deep without distortion. Tested songs Imagine by J-VAD & Zombies Ate My Neighbors by Schoolboy Mid - Also very good and clear. Songs - House of Rising Sun, sing by Johnny Cash & Found by Christel Alsos High - No sparkle here, but it hit just enough so your ear doesn't bleed. Songs - Histoire du Tango Bordel 1900 contribute by Duo Alma & Toccata Acoustic version by Marcin or Palladio Allegretto and pick your poison. ANC - Tested with several YouTube video ANC tester, and going outside. I found it works quite well by blocking out 85% of the noises. Mic - It works as it should and yes! Houston can hear you clearly. Pairing - If you have trouble here than you may want to check your device. Bluetooth Range - Using SS 25 Ultra and the signal starting to fad out around 70+ feet, but through several walls. Weight - It's not heavy as other claim here. My Hifiman Arya SE is heavier than this. Final thought - For the price that I paid compared to mine other headphones, I would say this is a keeper. This will make those $200+ headphones working hard for it $$$. For longevity or durability, we would have to wait and see.

For less than $20, these are REALLY GREAT HEADPHONES. ANC, Over the ear, Bass Boost, a sliding power switch, low latency and head tracking. Originally debut in Sept 2024 at $140. It was not rated as highly as other headphones in its class which are now around the $60 price point. The head tracking works, although I don't think I would use it very often. The bass lacks meat on the default Hi-Fi Live setting. But you'll find it when you use Pop or a customizable EQ setting. It's not super snug like some others @ $140 but it's good enough at under $20. The bass is not super deep like some others, but ..." ". It has a phono jack so that you can have a physical connection to other sources. Some kiddie headphones are $20, but these are far from kiddie headphones. I would strongly recommend these to others at this price point.

I highly recommend these, especially for their price. I've had my pair for over a year and a half now, and these are my pros and cons I've found while using these headphones daily for both work and leisure: PROS: - the bluetooth range is insane—I used these in a college dorm and could still be connected two floors down from my device; at home I can walk anywhere inside and even can check the mail/be outside an impressive distance before I'm out of range. I can also connect my phone and laptop to the headphones at the same time. - the battery life is as advertised, especially if you're not using ANC like I tend to do, but even then it's still impressively long. It also charges decently well! If mine drops down to low battery, I can plug them up for around 15 minutes while doing some chores and they'll be back up to 60-70% or above. - it's durable!! in the past, all of my previous over-the-ear headphones have broken only months into use because they're made of cheap plastic that love snapping at the joints. One of the reasons I chose these headphones was because they're partially made of metal, and I'm glad I did. the headband is made of metal too, so I don't have to worry about them snapping when putting them over my heads either. CONS: - the audio bleeds out easily: I normally have my volume set low anyways on my headphones to protect my hearing, but even then I've had friends and peers comment on still being able to hear what I'm listening to. - the earmuff cuffs, after a year and a half, are starting to wear from natural daily use—the seam connecting the inner and outer parts are beginning to become undone on both muffs (exposing the foam underneath), and the faux leather has started stripping around parts that frequently contact my hair and skin. I think eventually, if the seams come completely undone, that the foam will become lost, but that doesn't seem like an issue I'll be running into until further down the line. - I cannot use the built-in microphone while on call without the audio quality sounding horrible. If you're looking for headphones specifically to use a microphone with, these are NOT the pair you want. I've been having to use the built-in microphones on my devices instead. - the volume scaling is weird: there are ranges where going up or down a volume has no audible difference, but then the next has a large jump. for example on my Windows 11 laptop, 2-10 essentionally all sound the same, but going from 10 to 12 is a large difference; then 12-16 all sounds the same, but going from 16 to 18 is also a large jump. I don't think I've seen someone else mention this in their reviews, so I don't know if my pair is just weird, or if this happens across the board. Also, using the volume controls makes the volume jump between strange volumes. Using them right now with the increase volume button, it goes 0-6-13-19-25-31-etc. This is something that still kind of bothers me to this day, and probably my biggest con asside from the microphone issue. Despite these cons, though, I've been extremely satisfied with these headphones. I can't say anything about the app, since I couldn't seem to get it on my laptop (where I use my headphones the most), but I haven't had any use for it anyways, so there's that.

I have listened to every kind of music genre with these, and I'm never fail to be blown away. The crispness of the instruments. The clarity of the voices. The thundering of the bass. The hair on my arms stands up. I have this test song that I use to grade clarity (don't laugh), Imperial March, Darth Vader's Theme. You can hear each instrument so clearly. You can pick each one out. On another song I listened to, I could even hear the pages being turned by the members of the orchestra, and you could hear the hair of the bow as it went across the bridge of the violin. Insane. Then I use Madman Across the Water by Elton John. You can hear each pick of the string on his guitar in the beginning. Go back and listen to You're So Vain by Carly Simon. I had NO IDEA that Mick Jagger sung the backup vocals. I could hear him belting out the words. I had to look it up to be sure because he's uncredited on the album. He was friends with her and he was just there the day she was recording and jumped in. Lastly, Head Like a Hole by Nine Inch Nails...it sounds like you're in the middle of a concert hall. You dont even have to have the spatial audio turned on for any of these songs, as the headphones are so good right out of the box, in Hi Fi live EQ mode. The ONLY thing I would change about them, is to make a fabric cushion on the headband, I stead of the pleather, because these suckers slide around if you move your head around too much. I tried laying down from a sitting down position, and the headphones made it to the pillow before I did. I'd still recommend them to anyone!!! The sound will blow your mind. Keep in mind, your sound experience is only as good as the quality of the music. The better it was mixed, the better it will sound. 70's music seems to have been more creatively, artistically and carefully mixed for some reason, and there are so many "easter eggs". The coolest feature about these is the on/off switch. You definitely know you've turned them off! The battery lasts forever! The light indicators on the outside of each cup are so helpful to let you know they're charging (blue) and when they're done (red). No guessing! Don't hesitate to buy these! Not at this price! Btw, they DO fold up, I just have a hard case.

I own other baseus headphones so I decided to purchase these because of the low price and I was pleasantly shocked at how good these are. They only drawbacks are they are bit heavy and big for my small head however they are very comfortable and the sound quality is on par with $100+ headphones. I currently own dozens over ear Bluetooth headphones and I do favor these inexpensive pair now. The sound quality was very flat and somewhat poor soundstage, however with the baseus app and other EQ apps they really shine after tinkering with sounds. They don't have ton of deep sub bass but just enough for my liking, the mids are what make these special. If I was to compare the sound with other headphones they would match the sound of lower end Bose models almost 90% similar sound Q. Another plus is they support multipoint and Auracast which it great when listen to both movies and using phone at same time. The ANC is good as well, about average as other $100 headphones. I would highly recommend the Baseus XH1 model as well, those have outstanding sound and ANC. These definitely need to be amplified and EQ to shine and it definitely does make dramatic difference in sound. Another plus is they have USB C and Audio cable wired mode. They cable supplied was decent but good wired cable will definitely make these sound even better. Battery life is on par and little bit above the average Bluetooth headphones.
