Acceptable audio quality at a great price
Audio Quality:It's VERY important to break in the speakers when you get them. They sound like garbage for the first day or so, and assuming you use them a few hours a day, they'll noticeably improve over the span of about a week. Search the internet for techniques on how to break in headphones if this is new to you. Even after break-in, I'm no audiophile but I definitely notice that the audio quality isn't as crystal clear as more expensive brands. The bass-heavy delivery is fun for pop and hip-hop, but classical music seems disproportionate and individual instruments are somewhat muffled and difficult to deconvolute. What the harsh criticism aside, they sound great for $75 noise-canceling headphones. Be sure to pair these to an AptX-capable device to enjoy the highest quality music.Noise Canceling:The noise canceling is... alright. There's a discernible improvement in my really noisy work environment, where loud high-vacuum pumps provide a persistent rumble. I tried Bose noise canceling headphones in the same environment and the Bose headphones, as price would dictate, are better. Also, if you're not playing music, the SoundSurge 46 noise canceling generates a subtle static noise which could be annoying for people who use noise canceling headphones purely for that feature.Additional features:The USB-C power connector conveniently conforms to all modern device chargers, reducing the number of chargers you'll need. The ear cups are comfortable enough, but the clamping force (for me) is a little strong for a full work-day of use. The power button is bit close to the volume rocker and I tend to accidentally press one or the other. The microphone for voice calls is... functional, albeit low quality. And they don't fold up, so they'll consume more space in your bag then fold-able alternatives.Overall though, you get a lot of headphone for the price. It's not a prosumer product, but it's a perfect gift for a college student or a person who doesn't want to spend $300+ and get 90% of the features of the big guys. It's a fun, flashy, and usable product for a great price.

Excellent performance priced right
These are excellent.Then, considering the price, they are an outstanding value.There is one small design element that I'm certain falls into the 'it's a feature, not a bug' realm.The Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) has a switch separate from the others. If you accidentally leave it on (as I have), it will drain the battery. Then the next time you want to use the headphones with ANC, you pick up your headphones only to find they're going to have to be charged first.Otherwise?These are some awesome headphones and when you compare the price with other ANC headphones like the Sony MX1000D, you can feel great you've made a great purchase.

hit or miss but outstanding customer service!!
These headphones were purchased totally with no kick backs and no assistance in price.. with that said, they arrived nicely packaged. I had high hopes for these after reading all the great reviews, not sure if I just got a bad set or not.the right ear sound quality is no where near as crisp as the left ear. I had multiple people to check this to be sure it wasnt me. It just sounds muffled compared to the left ear. The ear piece padding on mine seemed to be crushed and didnt bounce back to shape after wearing the headphones.. I was really disappointed with this purchaseupdateCustomer support reached out and sent me a replacement set of headphones,, I must say the customer support and service is outstanding... I have since upgraded the overall rating from 3 to 5 stars ,the new set works perfectly...!!!

Excellent product
Great purchase. After looking for months I was ready to take the plunge and buy Bose but these popped up in my feed. All the three reviews were excellent so I thought why not try. There was an additional 10$ of when I purchased making even more enticing.Since purchasing I've recommended to everyone. These are very comfortable. Nose cancelling quality is outstanding, honestly, I don't think I ever appreciated how awesome this feature could be for air travel. Sounds quality is quite good, maybe Bose would be better but I think these have great sound and for this price why consider the more expensive ones? I have also found easy to use and great battery so what's not to like here. Highly recommend.

Spectacular sound and great quality
The sound is incredible I got a great deal on these under $100 the quality is superb connecting is flawless and easy I'm very pleased with the case that it came with. They sound just as good as the $300 set of Sony's that I have. The sound cancelling is very good if listening to dead air...no music, there is a very very very faint hiss but once the music starts you don't hear it. I highly recommend these

Best for the price, great style
Super comfortable and the champagne color is beautiful. The build quality is surprisingly good for the price but nothing groundbreaking; They feel like they'll last a while. Battery is good when not using the ANC and is decent with it turned on. The sound is superb too, especially for $60-$70 - they honestly sound better than my old $150 Bose, and a simple equalizer slider can enhance the sound even more. The ANC is decent at best, but unless you jump up to a price point 2x or 3x higher I feel like they'll all be pretty similar: Low-end sounds are almost completely disguised but voices and higher tones still get through. The ANC also makes the music sound a bit 'clearer' in my opinion, but I think it also varies by song and genre.For $60-$70 I recommend them (and I've went through COUNTLESS headphone hunts.) Don't expect QuietComfort or Sony-level noise-canceling or features, but I'm very happy with this pair. Looking forward to using them for a long time.

These headphones are the most comfortable ones I have ever worn, but they have issues.
Too start off, I have returned my TaoTronic Sound Surge 46 Headphones (I only had them about a week).-Good Points-These are the most comfortable headphones I have worn so far. The ear cups use a memory foam like material, which let them form a relatively good seal around the users ears, preventing some of the noise bleed. Without applying too much pressure to the head.The active noise cancellation features are very good for the price point, although like all active noise cancellation they do take some getting used to.When they are directly wired to the device (In my case a laptop) they provide adequate sound quality (I mean its not Great but its acceptable), for portable uses these headphones provide a very good experience Especially at this price point. The battery life is very impressive, and the charge times are very close to what is advertised. About 30 minutes of charging gave me about 3-5 hours of playback while in bluetooth mode with active noise canceling.The build quality of these earphones is quite good and hey appear to be very sturdy. Although it appears to be mostly made of plastics, there does not appear to be too much stress on any of the joints when they are worn (however this also means they do not apply lots of force to the sides of the head).-Bad Points-The bluetooth features are a bit lacking, there is no APTx-LL which means watching a youtube video on your phone has a noticeably annoying delay. The microphone does not work when the headphones are running directly via an audio cable. I had some difficulty with the location of the noise cancel toggle switch, and would repeatedly have to feel all over the headphones for it (Although I am sure if I used them for longer This would have been less of an issue).-Final Notes-My friend also purchased these headphones. They work for him very well, as he only uses them for podcasts and music while riding the bus.I would highly recommend these to anyone who takes the bus a lot, or is in very noisy areas and wants some quiet. Or if you enjoy listening to podcasts/music in noisy areas. You wont find anything much better at this price point, from my experience.However if you expect to be using these to watch youtube or play any competitive games on your connected device they will not be satisfactory, the latency is much too high for videos/games. In fact if your looking for headphones for your PC I would absolutely avoid these.-Too Long; Didn't Read-These headphones are comfy, charge very fast, and work very well with mobile devices for music/podcasts and phone calls.They are not good for videos/competitive games.

Great build quality
I never owned noise-cancelling headphones before and this purchase opened up my world on headphones. The last pair that I had were also my first over-ear headphones (EP-650) and they sounded great. This sounds almost similar to those $40 headphones but the noise cancellation. MY - MY. All that rumbling from all over the place - gone. The build quality is fantastic and the comfort feels rich. For $100 - Take my money. Buy the champagne coloured ones though, cause I heard that the black ones have not been updated yet.

Good value for the price
I've been using these for a week now.The build quality is excellent. It looks and feels like a quality product.The sound is very good when noise cancelling is on. With anc off, it still sounds ok, just not as good.The bass is deep without being overpowering.The noise cancelling does a decent job, but for my use, it does the job.The battery life is very good but I haven't used it long enough to give a real review on it.It has lasted quite well for my use so far.The problem I have with these headphones is sound balance when noise cancelling is turned on.When anc is turned on, the right side volume is fine but the left side volume is barely noticeable. After 35 to 45 seconds, the left side "warms up" and fades in to match the right. This happens every time anc is switched on, even when I switch it off and back on immediately.I'm pretty sure this is an isolated issue, but If this is normal, then it's a big disappointment.

Great product!!
Great product for the price. Very pleased with the sound. Robust bass, clean mids and highs.The build quality and finish is premium too.Just one problem is that it appears big and sticks out too much. Also starts to feel a bit tight after 10 minutes or so. Overall good product!

Great performance for the money
I originally bought these for myself for the gym, but ended up sticking with another budget brand. My girlfriend uses these for the gym and absolutely loves them. The sound quality is great, noise cancelling is also pretty good.... Bare in mind the ear cups do a pretty fair job blocking out unwanted sound all by themselves aswell.Build quality is A1!The only reason I'm not using these is they aren't as loud & bassy as my other ones
