Hey XDA
Just throwing out a review for those of you interested in some quality Bluetooth headphones.
I have had these guys for a week and I've tried them on all sorts of music since I am part of a multi media team for a church. We edit and sample all genres of music so I decided to try these out for our work.
Build quality
They seem to be made with very good materials. I've had several other over the ear headphones that feel very flimsy and cheap; this is not the case with these. The adjustable parts on the headphones are very firm and not loose at all maybe even a bit too firm which I appreciate. The carbon fiber part is a cushion and not plastic which was surprising but not bad by any means.
Fit
The fit on these are excellent. They are snug and feel great. After a while you forget you're wearing them which is a plus since I would wear them for hours at a time. The cushions are very soft and there's just something about them that feels awesome.
Functionality
The Bluetooth part works excellent. Pairing took five seconds. They have never dropped Bluetooth connection on my S3, my MacBook Pro, my wife's iPhone, and a few other phones we tested. Pausing the music and answering calls also worked perfect. Battery lasts quite a while and I love that I can use the aux cable for those devices with no Bluetooth.
Sound
Music on these headphones sounds amazing. I am not a fan of many headphones out there with over killed bass but I do like a decent thump - these babies delivered perfectly! Highs were very clear and crisp, mids were present but didn't give them a muddy sound. Call quality was great as well. The person OK the other end heard me perfectly. Volume on the headphones for call was good. I could hear clearly almost as good as the earpiece on my phone.
Overall I really likes these headphones. They have been great for me with everything I do. I like the case they come in and the face that they are quite portable with their rotatable earpiece. I loved that they charge with USB so that makes it easy wherever I'm at.

Update?
cor4twenty,
It's been a while since you reviewed these BT headphones. Curious how they've held up, if they're still working for you or if you've moved on to something else?
Let me know,
Fred

This beauty!
The first thing that hit me was the look. In my eyes it was gorgeous! The goodies dosen't stop here gentlemens/ladies. I looked at the "Specs" (Hardware) And i almost got a heart attack. 36$ for a bluetooth speaker this powerful ? nfc,bluetooth,linein,lineout,handset. I ordered it and afterwards i thougt? What piece of crap i must have bought. Later around (1-2 weeks) I got a big packetage in my mailbox, I was suprised i forgotten what i ordered. I looked at the packetage and was like. Havit it says? Then it come clear to me. Its the bluetooth speaker!
I rushed in to the house and took my pocket knife and opened it. And inside that ugly packetage (not bad but a packetage dosen't really look good)
I opend it with faith and love and found out that inside that ugly packetage. It was a gorgeous box. I got stunned. I took a glass of water to chill down for a secound. After that i looked future. Even my cat loved it (I supose). I opend the box and was happy to find out it come's with a Set of manuals,A aux cable and a Micro usb to charge it with (Micro usb to usb). The speaker inside the fantastic box was even more fantastic. I hooked it up very easily with nfc. (If you have bluetooth you will need to hook it up manually You'st go into bluetooth settings and pair the device)
The speaker was alredy charged when i got it. I played a sound (Skrillex-Recess) And i found out it had very loud clear sounding audio.
With alot of bass tones and it was overall really good looking and good playing. I tested the battery and it amazing lasted for 11 hours.
That's really really good for a bluetooth speaker.
Thats my story of the Havit HV-SK466BT
Now to the overall.
Good
- Clear sounding audio with heavy bass tones
- Light weight (for it size) to transport
- Good mic for handset
- Good battery time
Bad
- Collects alot of fingerprints
-Feels kinda plastic but robust
I would suggest any people that would like a cheap bluetooth speaker with quality to buy it.
36$ is not alot of money for this quality.
Here are some more pictures taken of the HV-SK466BT
I bought the Roccat Syva Earphones for my Oneplus One. For those who can't be bothered to read any further, they work well with the phone, including the mic. Now bugger off and buy them
Now...usually Roccat do gaming headsets but these have the earphones form factor and Roccat seems to have thought about it like everyday individuals rather than labcoat nerds who don't have much idea about the abuse earphones go through on a day to day basis.
Firstly the phsyical side of things. The cable is flat -- stops all the tangling mess we end up with. It's quite a sturdy feeling cable, the only comparison I have is the old HTC "beats" headset that I got with my One X. They feel nice and they are moulded into the jack and each earphone pretty securely so you're not going to tear it away in a hurry. Roccat has gone for their usual colour scheme of electric blue with black, giving these a very Tron-esque type look. Microphone unit looks a bit of an afterthought, just a block with one big button on it but hey what else do you need. Earphones come with different bud sizes for all ear types.
Now....Sound quality. For comparison I have a pair of audio technica ath-m50, which I believe are the best overall headphones out there right now. Sound quality is really good on most digital sound formats. I haven't tried FLAC but on normal everyday Spotify, Youtube, Google Music etc the sound quality and frequency response is excellent. Made a call to my friend and he was amazed at how clear these earphones were compared to my old HTC "beats" earphones, and the range was pretty good too. Noise isolation is pretty good as well. I had a thunderstorm going on in the background while listening to music on these and the only evidence of that was the flashes of light and slight vibrations.
Pictures for all those interested.

Nice! Thanks for the review! My only questions are how much and how do they handle movement? I'm asking since it has a flat cable and those tend to make a lot of noise in ear.

Don't forget to hit thanks!

I've been mountain biking and jogging with them and the cable noise isn't causing me any grief. The cable noise isn't any louder than a round cable.
i just grabbed these. and im not impressed
there is only one button on the mic area
the sound quality is ... on par with most 30$ headsets but not great in general
and they just fell apart. these things are garbage.
This is my review of the Havit HV-H913BT noise cancelling bluetooth headset - http://www.amazon.com/HV-H913BT-Cancellation-Bluetooth-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00OUFPJN4
As I don’t own a car or so, I’ve not been using this type of headset for quite some time and therefore I was worried about that it was a product that was not useful for me. However, after sitting down a while I found some perfect uses for this product. One of the scenarios is when I work in front of my computer and need to make a few calls – holding a phone in one hand or using speaker phone while working is far from optimal. So with that said, let’s talk about the actual product.
First of all, the product came in a box that showcased the actual product through a window made out of transparent plastic. The box was kind of hard to open, and I had to rip it apart to get into it. Inside of the box you can find the actual headset, as well as a few accessories and some documents. The accessories bundled with this headset are a docking station, a microUSB cable, a plastic thing to put around your ear as well as some different kind of eartips.
The headset itself is made out of mainly black plastic, and front have a pearl’ish finish to it. There’s a few buttons as well such as a powerbutton (switch), a all-in-one button and volume keys. On the the back of the headset, the actual earpiece is located as well as charging pads.
When it comes to the sound of this product, I must say that I’m certainly pleased. Nobody I’ve made a call with have complained about the sound, nor have I had any issues with the actual sound quality on my end. The sound is clear enough for calls, but listening on music through this headset is not recommended as there’s a lack of details.
The part about this headset that really surprised me, though, is how comfortable it is and how well it stays in the ear. There’s no issues with the comfort at all, and it does not fall out of the ear. However, to get a good fit you might have to try all the different eartips to find the one that works the best for you.
The only complaint I’ve got about this product is related to the actual docking station, as it’s kind of hard to get the headset to charge in it. Some times, I’ve had to adjust the headset quite a bit before it even started to charge and this might be a problem. I think it would be much better if they just went for the ordinary microUSB charging slot, and skipped the docking station completely.
But overall, I must say that this is a product that have really impressed me – mainly due to it being so comfortable and the sound quality in calls. However, it got its drawbacks but they’re just minor and I’m really satisfied with the product.

Unboxing video:
This is a review of a pair of Havit on-ear headphones with bluetooth and nfc: http://www.amazon.com/HV-H2555BT-Bluetooth-Wireless-Hands-free-Streaming/dp/B00UL4F22G
I don't really use headphones very often on the go and therefore I didn't think much about getting any, till Havit reached out to me and asked if I wanted to have a look at one of their pairs of bluetooth headphones. I've now used these for a few days and this is my review of the headphones.
The headphones came in a nice little box made out of thick paper and plastic, with a big window that showcased the actual headphones. Inside the box there was a few information booklets, a microUSB cable, a 3,5mm audiocable as well as the headphones themselves. One thing I should mention already is that this box was much better designed than the one for the bluetooth headset, and it was much easier to pop open as well.
The headphones themselves is made out of plastic and a leather knockoff material for the headband, as well as some metal that holds up the actual earcups. The earcups and the headband are padded and feels really soft, but they did not use memory foam on these as it's regular foam; That is however totally acceptable at this price point, and overall these headphones feel quite comfortable. However, I've got one minor complaint and that is that these headphones leak quite a bit due to that they're a pair of on-ear headphones.
Soundwise they sound quite good, and these headphones have a quite punchy bass that's almost a bit "beats styled" which means that it's a bit boosted. The downside of the bass boost is actually that the sound is not so clear, and they might sound a bit muddy for some people that do not prefer a lot of bass.
The headphones pair easily using bluetooth as well, and if your phone supports NFC you can just hold it towards the NFC logo on one of the earcups and it should pair by itself. This is a really neat feature and it makes it easy to pair these with a new device, and saves some time for new users. The headphones are equipped with touch controlls as well, and they actually work fine but it's easy to activate them by accident.
So overall, this is a quite nice pair of headphones; However, this product isn't free from issues but they're minor compared to how much pros these headphones have - and the price tag is low as well so therefore I really like these.

I was on the lookout for a new pair of earphones as my old pairs broke and as I don’t trust myself with expensive in-ears, I went online and started to look for a new pair to go along with my phone. After a bit of looking, the Somic V4’s instantly caught my eyes as they were similar looking to my old pair (TTPod T1S) and the cable looked great, so I placed an order and have now been properly able to test them out.
The packaging of these earphones is made out cardboard and looks pretty good, and opens up like a book showcasing the earphones. Inside of the packaging you can find some manuals in Chinese, some double-flange ear tips, as well as the earphones themselves. There’s no extra goodies such as a shirt clip or a pouch to store them in, but that’s to be expected for a sub <20 USD pair of earphones.
When it comes to the ear tips of these, I can directly say that they didn’t work out very well for me, and I had to use an older pair of ear-tips from another pair of earphones. The double-flange ear tips didn’t stay in my ears and just made the sound very hollow, but after replacing them I was able to get a perfect seal and the audio turned out to be better than what I expected for 20 USD, but more on that later.
My favorite part of these earphones is the cable, as it gives an illusion of that these earphones cost a lot more than they really do, and I also love the fact that the angled audio jack is very robust and solid. However, the cable also comes with its disadvantages as it tangles up pretty easily and it can easily get annoying if you don’t straighten it out every now and then.
But do they sound any good? Yes, definitely and I really like the sound of these in general. First off, they have some very decent lows, with a deep and quick bass that suits for the type of music that I listen to. When it comes to the mids, they are very detailed and dominant, but they're not overwhelming or exaggerated either, which is just a positive thing. The treble on these is also pretty sharp, but it really doesn’t hurt the ears either and provide a good experience really.
Overall, if you’re on a budget a need a pair of earphones for <20 USD, these are definitely a steal considering that they offer such an amazing value for the money. They both sound good, give an illusion of being more expensive than they really are and they also feel sturdy. Definitely a pair that I can personally recommend and I’m using them as daily drivers with my phone for now!
