RiwboxBluetooth Headphones, XBT-80 Folding Stereo Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Over Ear with Microphone and Volume Control, Wireless and Wired Headset for PC/Cell Phones/TV/iPad (Silver White)

I was looking for a pair of wireless headphones I could connect to my phone or PC. I needed headphones with decent audio quality & sustainable battery life that wouldn't put a huge dent in my wallet. I purchased these in November, 2019, and have used them without any issues since (even after my cat knocked them off my kitchen counter onto hardwood flooring...)Obviously, what everyone is looking for in headphones is different, here's what I personally wanted:- Good audio quality. I was getting headphones to listen to music, and that's it. Keep in mind, this means I'm indifferent entirely to mic quality, as I wasn't using this headset for phone calls.- Comfortable & stable. I bought these to use for music at the gym, walking/running, and while doing chores around the house & garden. I needed a pair that were comfortable for longer periods of time, and wouldn't fall off of my head or slide off my ears during physical activity.- Good battery life. For all the obvious & generic reasons.Pros:- Lovely audio quality. Really, the fact that I'm pausing to take the time to review these so long after my purchase is a testament to it, really. The audio quality over my time using them has been consistent & entirely enjoyable.- Bass. I love bass in my music, and these sound awesome with a nice, bassy song. Not quite to everyone's taste, but I as actually, genuinely impressed the first time I heard a bassy song on these.- Easy to set up & connect. Straightforward instructions for set up and connection. Never had any issues connecting my headphones to my phone, my PC, or my tablet. The only real button I've used on the headphones themselves is the Play/Pause button, and it's never failed me, required multiple presses, or given me a considerable delay.- Good battery life. As you can imagine, I needed a pair that I could rely on not to die in the middle of a walk, or a workout, or chores. I've used these for roughly 4-6 hour windows at a given time, and they've not died on me yet. Plus, as an android phone user, I pretty much always have a micro-USB cord & fast adaptive charger on me that I can use for them if I feel it necessary, either in the car on the way to a gym, or right before I head out.(Potential) Cons:- Mic: The microphone quality isn't phenomenal, I tested out a few phone & Discord calls, and the general consensus was that I came through garbled & difficult to hear. If you're looking for headphones specifically for phone calls, I would potentially search for/compare with something else.- Range: Radius/strength is slightly lower than some others. If a large Bluetooth radius is important to you, these are slightly limited. Going back & forth from my office to kitchen was perfectly fine, but bedroom to kitchen, I got some occasional skipping & audio cuts.- Comfort: Adjustable headband is padded and comfortable for reasonably long wear, in my experience - however, if you do not like the sensation of headphones that rest on your ears, as opposed to around, cupping them, these likely won't feel comfortable to you, just something to take into consideration.(Remember, I use mine during workouts. It's inevitable they slip or become crooked here and there, but it's never to the point that I notice it or it actively interrupts what I'm doing. Certainly more comfortable and less annoying than wired, or even wireless, earbuds for me, personally.)- Noise-Cancellation. I would put these at a low-medium. They cancel out some noise, but again, due to the aforementioned fit of resting on the ears, rather than around, these aren't going to be especially noise-cancelling.

I love these. For the price they're unbeatable. I purchased 3 different on ear/over the ear headphones to test against one another at different prices (this one being mid-range) and this pair came out on top. I was very surprised by the level of clarity with which I could hear every bit of a song. The balance on these headphones is incredible. At first I thought they were a bit bass heavy because I could hear that so clearly, but the more I listened, the more I realized that I could hear everything (bass, treble, vocals, guitars, drums, almost perfectly even.) I don't think I've ever listened to a pair of headphones that have such balanced levels and clarity.To make things even better, on top of these being Bluetooth headphones, I can connect via 3.5mm jack when I'm editing some of my recordings to avoid any latency. They're also pretty comfortable for on ear headphones. The only time I have any kind of discomfort is when I wear my glasses, but I usually wear contacts more often and my glasses have thick frames so I think they're to blame. With contacts, I've used these for almost 2 hours straight while recording/streaming with no issues.Battery life is pretty good as well. Maybe not the level that they are advertised, but they last long enough. Haven't tested exactly how long they'll last on a charge, but I've had no issues for the periods of time that I need them.Noise cancellation is pretty good. I'm sure there are better pairs out there, like the more expensive one I tested against these that had a switch that produced a low frequency of white noise to combat outside noise, but those ones did not have the balance and overall sound quality that these have. In fact, when testing them against one another, I mistakenly had thought that this was the more expensive pair and resigned myself to the fact that I would be paying more for better quality. I was shocked when I went back to box the other two up and submit them for return that these were only $25. I'm glad that I made this mistake though because price did not cloud my judgement when comparing them.Bluetooth connection is simple and quick and I've had no issues connecting them to everything with Bluetooth connectivity in my house.I do have one gripe with these headphones, but it's by no means a big issue. When I connect them and play music through them they usually connect and initially play at a volume that is a bit louder than I would like when first turning them on Even weirder is that when I click the volume down to correct this, they seem to go down to the volume that I last listened to them at rather than going one notch down. Not a huge issue, but kind of odd and only occurs when first turning them on.Overall though, I don't think that there is a pair of headphones, especially in this price range, that could compare to these.

I bought the Rixbox XBT-80 in the end of April 2018. I was originally looking for a pair of Beatz, but after reading reviews that those only paired well with iPhone, I read and also found that Riwbox works great with Android (and probably iPhone as well, but I only tested Android) - and at a tenth of the cost. I was impressed by the sound quality and clarity - the headphones fit great over your head, are comfortable to wear, and don’t fall off like a previous pair of Sony headphones I had when you bend over to grab something and tilt your head down. They look very sleek, and I would also rate the sound isolation ability high. My only issue was that they broke in November, just 6 months after I bought them. First, the right ear stopped transmitting music (and also therefore stopped isolating outside noise from that ear). While this was annoying, they were still wearable. But then just a week later, the physical headphones themselves broke in half, rendering them unusable. I tried to file a warranty claim on these, but only after a series of 47 emails over the course of 3 months did we reach an agreement. In the meantime, I was without a set of headphones for weeks waiting for the resolution, and then ended up buying a different set anyway at full price when I realized the customer service would take much too long to follow through because I work in a job where I need them to work for me all day, every day.In conclusion, these headphones have an amazing price-quality ratio - while they last. However, like other reviews before me have said, mine also broke after just a few months, and the customer service was not at all efficient in problem resolution. If you are on a low budget, I can recommend the headphones for their sound quality, just keeping in mind that you might encounter the same issues I did.
