Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsNot bad at first but showing aging and questionable design.

These things sat on my desk and were used to listen to music while I was working at my computer, they were charged every night and treated very well. About 4 months into ownership the headband brackets cracked and fell apart, heavy duty black zipties have held up great as a replacement. The pleather headband started coming apart about 8 months into ownership, flaking that gray vinyl all over. About the same time as the headband started falling apart the ear cups started to split. I scraped off the rest of what I could and as time has gone on they have continued to degrade.
Bluetooth range, with my old One+ 6 about 60 foot through a wall or two, with my newer One+ 7T about 100 foot. I never did get the USB dongle to work in my computer, drivers and windows 10 didn't seem to work.
Battery life was never 24hr but it could have easily been 18hr actual use constantly streaming music over bluetooth. Now several years on they get about 9hr of battery life and die quickly when they start to go low. I realized I had never written a review when I came to Amazon looking for a new battery and ear pads.
These headphones have some sort of sensor that can tell if you take them off, they pause music etc. I noticed early on that if I bent over they would pause, any fast head movement caused them to pause, walking by my microwave while it was running caused them to pause. Kinda annoying, wish that feature could be disabled.
Active noise cancelling is ok, better than some others I have tried but not as good as the Bose QC 35 my boss has but they were about $150 cheaper at the time too.
