I use these headphones everyday for literally every audio purpose in my house, which includes my phone (HTC One), my console (PS3), and laptop. They are bid enough to give you all the bass you could want, and they are still light enough not to be an issue while moving around during my adventures. The cord is lightweight and also includes a mic on it that works for my phone and laptop. I've tried Bose and Beats By Dre and didn't notice anything that would make me want to spend an extra $200. This is the best bang for the buck for me for this style of headphones.I haven't had them long enough to know how long they will last but one thing I noticed was my old set broke because the wire got pulled from the speaker somehow. These speakers have a cord that can disconnect so they won't break. And if that wasn't enough to convince you how much I love these headphones I will get you 10 more reason.
The Over-the-ear design along with dual earcup are made for comfort during extended listening sessions. REX40 driver delivers a smooth frequency response with minimal distortion for clear audio that works great with the built-in Beats our HTCs have. Sensation55 bass extension driver provides powerful bass for a realistic listening experience if you wish to place the battery in the headset which in my opinion isn't needed. Neodymium magnets offer sound reinforcement that way we don't blow out of ears. Acoustical porting allows both drivers to move freely for increased bass and reduced distortion. Built-in amplifier features an auto on/off smart circuit that powers off the amp if your music stops or the headphones have been unplugged for 10 seconds. Amp automatically powers up once music is restored. Adjustable bass control which lets you control the sensation levels to your preference using the bass sensation slider on the left earcup. As I mentioned it includes In-line remote with microphone which lets you answer the phone or stop the music with just one click. Detachable cable that helps eliminate tangles, increases longevity, customizes your look, upgrades your microphone and can be used as an auxiliary cord for my TV when I'm gaming. Now those are all the selling points that draw me to this headset. Hope I change some peoples minds on REAL STUDIO QUALITY headphones

This is a review of TaoTronics rechargeable bluetooth speaker: http://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics®-Rechargeable-Bluetooth-Portable-Wireless/dp/B00DG0SH7E/
Lately I have been looking more into different ways to enhance multimedia experience of using Note 2 by pairing it up with different wireless speakers and wireless/wired headphones. With speakers it seems that every model offers something different and unique. That is why I took an opportunity to review TaoTronics bt speaker set.
About 3" in height and 2.5" in diameter and 6.7oz in weight this egg-shaped speaker is very compact and fits in the palm of your hand. Although small sized, it actually has a very sold built with a aluminum barrel-shaped body and plastic egg-shaped top. The bottom of the speaker has non-slip rubber pad so it grips nicely with any surface. Through the opening in the top you can actually see two speakers facing each other through a neat disc separator. I assume one is to deliver low frequency while the other for mids/highs. The sound actually has a nice bass, but I wish it would be louder. At high volume you can actually feel vibrations of the pumping sound, it's trying hard but the volume is more appropriate for a small space rather then outside in a bigger area.
The speaker is rechargeable, through micro-usb connector. The same micro-usb connector with attached micro-usb to usb cable (provided with a speaker) could also be used to connect to your laptop or PC. As soon as it's connected, Windows recognized it right away as usb audio speaker to play music externally. Its a great option, but I also wish the speaker would include 3.5mm AUX input to simply connect any device to it. Obviously, the main connection intent is wireless through bluetooth interface where it supports A2DP, AVRCP, and HS/HF profiles. Pair up was fast and effortless. For your convenience it has a multi-function control wheel to play/pause and also change volume -/+ and skip next/prev tracks. I'm personally prefer separate buttons for these functions since it gets a bit tricky with a control wheel where pushing play/control button is ok, but when you want to change the volume vs skipping a track - sometime it's not too easy because you need to do it quickly for track skipping or hold it for volume and often it does opposite. Of course, you can get used to this control and how sensitive it is to the touch, but personally I just prefer separate control buttons.
As a bonus, this speaker also has a slot for micro-SD card which turns this little bt speaker into mp3 players. This works quite good and actually gives you the best sound quality since you are decoding audio directly rather then going through bt transmission where sound gets compressed and bandwidth limited. Also, you have a headphone output for a private listening. And since it supports all these bluetooth protocols, its actually works as a speaker phone really well. You can pick up a call, and use built int microphone to carry the conversation. The phone conversation was relatively clear.
Bottom line, this is a very unique wireless speaker with enhanced multimedia functionality. I was not too crazy about the control wheel and missed having aux input, but other then that there were no complains.
Here are the pictures.

This is a review of Anker Bluetooth Stereo headset for music streaming and hands free calling. http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-Bluetooth-Headset-HandsFree-Calling/dp/B00ENF5CZQ/
Yes, believe it or not, people still use these single piece on-ear wireless headsets when driving or outside where they still have to be aware of surrounding. That is a key with this type of headsets where your one ear is open to keep you aware of surrounding environment. Typically these feature better sound quality and more functionality in comparison to older models. So let's take a closer look at new addition to Anker's catalog.
Arrived in their signature environmentally friendly plastic-free package, you get a wireless headset with 2 sets of high quality adjustable ear-hooks, 3 pairs of silicone eartips in different sizes, and usb charging cable. This wireless headset is very light, at only 12g, and dimensions of approximately 55mm x 17mm x12mm and additional 15mm for earpiece part. The ear-hook rotates to adjust the angle by 360deg and can also be flipped 180deg for left/right ear use. It has a very sleek professional look with minimum controls, multifunction call/power button facing outside and volume up/down on the bottom edge. The top edge has micro-usb charging port.. Also, I was glad that Anker logo was printed inside, makes the outside of this headset to look clean. Furthermore, inside there was multi-color led indicator and microphone.
Pair up took seconds, and after initial connection a voice guidance provided a confirmation. Although I only tried using this headset inside where everything sounded crystal clearer up to 40ft away from my phone, according to the spec this headset is equipped with CVC (clear voice capture) echo and noise cancellation technology to help you in a noisy environment. As a bonus, beside just a phone connection, it was also connected to phone media (thanks to A2DP and AVRCP protocol support), and I was able to stream music from my Note 2 and remotely control the volume of the audio on my phone. Its a great feature since switching between playing music and picking up the call is seamless, and on a full battery charge you get up to 5hr of talk or audio playback.
Overall, its a great little wireless headset that packs a lot of features, has a nice solid build, and a very professional look. Considering a price of under $20 shipped and 18-month warranty with lifetime tech support - this is one great value as well.

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.

Hi XDA community... I've got a chance to review this small but wonderful headphone. It's a real 'soothie' to your ears and will cost you just US$23. The price will not pinch you anymore once you hear anything through this KZ ZS5 HIFI 8 headphone. It gives you unbelievably detailed sound quality, extremely deep sub-bass response with clear sound and effects. I have only used this on my smartphone and laptop and found sound quality amazingly soothing to ears. You will get every beat of the music with details. Here I am posting some real photographs of KZ ZS5 HIFI 8.

Like many, I’ve been wanting to hop onto the noise-cancelling headphone bandwagon since models like the Bose QuietComfort 35 and Sony 1000XM series came out. However, also like many, I was not interested in dropping $350 bucks for this experience. I only fly or commute on mass transit a few times a year. These Anker Soundcore Life 2 headphones are a great compromise for those looking to spend less than one-third of the price of the top-tier models and still have a great experience.
Sound quality: Very good. These will not touch wired, high-impedance headphones for lossless music files, but for noise-cancelling, bluetooth headphones for listening to Spotify, the sound quality is super solid. I enjoy the BassUp tech for a deeper and fuller sound. You do get a built in mic too, which is great for making calls.
Noise cancelling: Having used the aforementioned Bose QC and Sony 1000XM series before, these are not on that level with noise cancelling. If those are a “10” these are more like a “7-8”. Those high-end models can wipe out virtually ALL background noise while the Soundcore Life 2 does more of a controlled reduction. Still very good for the price and to block out the outside world.
Battery Life: Fantastic. 30 hours on wireless with up to 60 if you connect with the provided cable. And if you turn off noise cancelling while wired, you can go forever. Would’ve like to have seen a Type C connection (it’s microUSB still) for charging, but this is a pretty small complaint.
Build quality: Top notch. Nothing seems cheap or breakable. The headphones fold down for travel in the provided case. The case has some firmness to it too, so your headphones won’t get crushed. Great for stashing in your backpack or messenger bag. The ear pads are nicely padded and I can easily go over an hour before any kind of “ear compression” discomfort takes hold.
The holiday pack is a great bonus since you get a PowerCore 5000 powerbank for on-the-go charging. Other included accessories include the top end PowerLine+ microUSB cable, an aux cable, and an airplane adapter. Great value here!

Have you tried using these with a PC while gaming? I'm curious whether or not the microphone actually works over wired/BT while gaming.
