Audio-Technica ATH-SR30BTBK Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Charcoal Gray

I was looking for lightweight, comfortable headphones with decent sound (and WITHOUT over-hyped bass frequencies - I'm lookin' at YOU, Beats by Dre!) that wouldn't break the bank. I wanted them for the gym, and for making music on my laptop studio when I'm away from home. I didn’t need or want noise-cancelling, and these headphones don’t have it.Ideally I would have love to have tried them out first, but I've always had a high opinion of Audio Technica, so took a gamble on ordering them online without testing them for sound quality and comfort.These headphones come with instructions and a charging cable. That's it. Packaging is solid, mostly cardboard with the seemingly unavoidable non-recyclable plastic tray. The headphones fold, and I was able to find an old soft headphone bag from a previous pair to store them in for transport. I charged them up, tucked them into my bag, and was ready to rock.First up, workout time. I happily wore them at the gym without issue - they stayed on my head, didn't get in the way, and were lightweight and comfortable. Next up, laptop time. I was waiting for a friend for a few hours yesterday, so was able to test them as tracking headphones during a nearly 4 hour Ableton Live laptop session, and they never got uncomfortable, or ran out of battery. Even my expensive studio headphones hurt my ears after 2 or 3 hours, so this was a nice revelation. I haven’t yet tried them on a phone call, but that’s not a big deal for me - who uses iPhones for TALKING any more!?The controls are easy to use, and I had no issue with staying connected via Bluetooth. I haven't tested the limits of their battery life yet, but I don't imagine that will be an issue for the way I plan to use these. The headphones are indeed very comfortable, which is a huge, huge plus.Sound quality is decent. When listening to iTunes at the gym I found that the sound was decent, but felt a little flat, without a lot of definition. Although they don't have super-hyped bass frequencies, the sound was still a bit … tubby. When tracking with Ableton on my laptop, I wasn't bothered as much by the sound quality, and felt that I was able to hear a more defined sound-field, and I felt the mids and highs were fine. But to be fair, I was making some pretty bass-heavy electronic music. Will see how it sounds on my studio speakers.Overall, decent, solid headphones with decent sound. Well-made and reliable. I’m happy with them.

I have to say, 2 years later, I'm so glad I bought these because the battery life is just phenomenal. I feel like I never have to charge them.Initially, the only thing that stopped me from giving five stars is the lack of a track navigation button.For a bluetooth headphone, these are great, and ultimately I bought them over the Sennheiser HD 4.4/4.5 because they're not as tight-fitting. I really appreciate that the ear padding material is pretty soft and therefor I can wear these with glasses without them feeling like they're pressed into the side of my head. My only complaint is that the size of the ear-cup is a little snug. I don't have large features, and I have to be really careful with the headband adjustment to make sure my ears don't get strained. That said, having a good seal around the ear is crucial to a good pair of CLOSED-BACK headphones. I'm definitely able to listen to music in public at lower volumes than I would on open-back headphones, so the fact that they're good for your hearing is a plus.I bought these as an alternative to my AKG 240s because I wanted a closed-back headphone that was easier to throw in my backpack, and these have accomplished that. You can't beat the battery life and I love the light gray color. I also love that they don't have the popular overpowered bass drivers that are awful for your hearing.

I got these a few years ago and they shockingly still work. Sure they are not the same as they used to but the battery life held up just fine and the audio quality is still decent. 100% worth the price I paid for but wouldn’t recommend it anymore expensive than that though.

I bought this pair of head phones for my new LP60x-BT turn table. Was excited to give this a try and enjoy my growing collection to my heart's content in my small apartment. Sadly, no matter how hard I tried, I was unable to get these to pair with the turn table. I could get these to pair with my phone no issue, and I could get a separate Bluetooth speaker to pair with the turntable immediately, but no matter how hard I tried to segregate and create a controlled environment without any interfering devices, I was unable to ever get the two to pair.I will say this. I fully tests the earphones after giving up on the pairing. They do sound good, and the battery life seems to be on par with what the advertisement claims. The build materials are a little low on quality, but nothing that will disappoint. They were comfortable for wearing. If I didn't have a good pair of earbuds that did the same job these do, I'd be keeping these for pairing with my phone. So, these have been returned But I can confidently give a full recommendation for what they are, and ignore what they are not.

I originally tried ordering from a big box for twice as much (next day for work was my thought process) and had so many issues that I came and ordered these from a recommendation. I wish I had gone with these first! . Doesn't cancel noise, which is great if you still need to hear your surroundings, and has a decent Bluetooth range so I can walk around during work meetings. I charged these right out of the box the day they arrived, and have not charged them since. A full week of daily use (6+ hours a day) plus periodic entertainment usage and they are STILL at 70% battery! The sound is nice and clear as long as the left side is on or in front of the left ear. These headphones are comfy and sit nicely around my ears for hours at a time, until my ears become too warm. These are easy to pair...what else? For the price and speed of shipping, I would order them again and again!
