Overall good headphones, not for high end audiophi
They are lightweight which is important to many during a long gaming session or when working at your computer listening to music and making skype calls. The headband is adjustable and fit my large head rather comfortably. I've reviewed only a few headphones, and own Bose QC35 as my daily cans and also have owned Sony MDR1000X, which are both noise canceling. These are not noisecancelling which is fine for their purpose.Battery did not arrive charged, bit of a disappointment. Paired easily with my Google Pixel XL via bluetooth once it charged for a few hours.They do not fit well with glasses, the front of the ear cups do not conform and seal well like they do if you are not wearing glasses.They construction seems well built, but not obscenely heavy. The retractable mic is really slick, as is the quick mute button on the left ear. I tried plugging them in to a headphone jack using the supplied cables (which is actually a cord for the headphone, and another cord that plugs into that depending on your application...lots to carry around if you travel) and the sound was very low- as if they needed to be powered. This was when they weren't charged- so they might have better sound when "on".The sound itself is clear, fairly crisp but seems to be missing alot of midrange which what makes sound loud and full. At full volume there starts to be some muddy sounds, esp in the mid to high range.

One of the best headsets at this price point; dece
When you pay less than a hundred dollars for a wireless headset, you get what you pay for. Don't try and compare these to a $150 or $200 headset; they are different animals entirely. If you have the money to spare, then by all means buy something at the higher price point. They absolutely will be better.My ratings are for this price point, not overall. In my opinion, for $80, these are some of the best wireless headsets you can purchase. The sound is very good, they are extremely comfortable, the battery lasts for a long time. Also the battery is accessible and can be replaced, so if it stops holding a charge you can just buy a new battery; that was a big draw for me. The range is acceptable if nothing amazing; I can walk throughout most of my house and never lose signal, but down the hallway and at the edge of my bed or just outside my door they start to cut out. They do sit a little lose on the head, so major headbanging or such and you will lose them. Also the build quality is solid but not the best; there's a little bit of squeaking that is audible out of the hinges on my right head phone, although this has lessened over time. The material that rests against your head may feel rough to your fingers, and I was concerned about this, but when actually wearing them it is perfectly comfortable and not at all a problem.Overall these are a very nice pair of wireless headphones and I am happy with my purchase.

Best Bluetooth for Me
This might be, like, my fifth bluetooth headset I've owned in the last ten years and it is by far the best for my needs... which is primarily automobile related. This headset is extremely comfortable. I can wear it for hours without discomfort (even with sunglasses on). I can hear people perfectly. And from what my friends tell me, they hear me pretty well; although, some of them have told me there is slight quality drop when I'm on my bluetooth. I opted for the chargeable travel case and I've never found myself hurting for juice. The button and switch placement on the device is intuitive and easy to use.The only negative: If you are looking for a sleek, fashionable, and discreet bluetooth, this ain't it. The Voyager Legend is in-your-face obvious; everybody you encounter knows you are wearing a bluetooth headset.Jabra Wave comparison: The Jabra Wave wraps around the ear and has a long boom like the Voyager Legend. The difference being that the Wave's mic rests upon my chin while the Voyager Legend's mic hovers off my face. Unfortunately, the Wave's mic pulls at my stubble if I go unshaven for a couple days. I don't have this issue with the Voyager Legend.

Refined sound
So I got these as I'm working from home, and I was getting complaints about the audio quality from my last headset, so the spec of these headphones and the mic / anc for my voice is why I went for them.So far, that aspect is excellent.In terms of music though, I'm a little disappointed - the sound quality is good, don't get me wrong, but the bass is non existent, even after playing with the EQ in app. From a music perspective, I had a better experience from my Plantronics backbeat pros than from these more expensive bose headphones.I'm also not especially impressed with the anc, I can still hear a lot of background noise, even on power 10, however I've not tested these out in a particularly noisy scenario.All in all, these in my opinion are really good for phone calls, but if I was wanting purely for music, I'd probably return them and go for the Sony alternative.--Update after having these for about 18 months!You get used to the reduced bass, and the overall quality of music is actually excellent. It's probably better for my ears that I'm accepting a little less "wub wub".As far as a headset for work, faultless performance.And these are COMFY - I'm wearing them sometimes several hours in a row phenomenal!

AMAZING!
I cannot believe how well this stuff works!!! I've always been prone to bruising but for the past year or two (basically since I hit my forties) it has just gotten ridiculous. I wake up with new bruises on my legs almost daily and have anywhere from 10-20 on each leg at any given time. Most are small, fingerprint sized but some are large and extremely unsightly. It has made wearing skirts and dresses embarrassing, which sucks since they comprise 90% of my wardrobe.After about a week and a half of using this 2-3 times a day on the bruises, as well as preemptively on the areas that seem most prone to bruising, my legs look like they did when I was twenty! There are only a few small, barely noticeable bruises now. I woke up with a new one trying to come through this morning and have put the cream on twice so far today, and it has already noticeably faded and will probably be gone tomorrow or the day after. I don't even know how that is possible. I can finally wear some of my shorter skirts without looking like I've lost a kickboxing match. I'm buying another bottle of it as soon as I finish writing this review. This stuff is incredible!

Amazing All Around Headset
This headset is a combination of quality, features,accessories and price, and nothing is even close. I’ve tried every gaming headset out there, both wired and wireless, between the price range of $60 to $699. I wanted to use these for some competitive matches.I had an over ear logitech headset, which were nice but only comfortable to wear for about an hour at a time. So, from using those, I kept getting ear pain. Its the same pain I get from wearing Airpods.These HyperX Cloud Alpha S provide a solid soundscape and remain comfortable on my head throughout the gaming session. The soft memory foam ear cups are large enough to fit all the way around my ears without touching the inner driver wall, which I found wasn’t always the case with over ear headphones. The mic is detachable, The only downside is that, they don’t come with a case, and the noise canceling is weak. Neither are deal breakers for me, but for the price you expect to have it all.I like how you can control the intensity of the base, and the 7.1 controller has a good premium feel to it, you can boost game volume or mute your mic or control your chat volume, Overall this is a very solid headset that can be used for gaming to movies to just enjoy bass heavy music. I highly recommend it.

just what I wanted
they pair very easily, they sound great, the mic works great.i've used them to listen to music and they sound good but mainly I use these for listening to audiobooks and doing conference calls. In this, these headphones are stellar.the mic and sound quality are 10/10. I can hear everyone on calls, and everyone can hear me. background noise is all muted, wife has to visibly get my attention when i'm wearing these.so far the battery life is 10/10 though I've only had them a week or so.comfort is maybe 8/10, they are very comfortable but after extended periods of time they do get a little annoying (I should note that all over-the-ear headphones feel this way to me after a while, so 8/10 is about as good as i can give on any headset. these are comfortable)my main takeaway is that the controls and pairing are 10/10. lots of earbuds/headphones are a huge pain when pairing , skipping tracks, adjusting volume, etc. these paired right away with my android phone and the controls are intuitive / easy to use. haven't used on iphone but for me these are perfect. would recommend / buy again. for the price, they seem like a great deal to me. I would put them against my friend's $200 Sony set in a pepsi challenge and i'd be curious if either of us could tell the difference in quality.

Good add-on speakers to my MacBook; great at the p
I'm studying music. Part of what I need to do is learn unfamiliar melodies by sound, which I do by playing them over and over. I usually use headphones when listening to iTunes on my MacBook. But I can't do busy work around the house--cleaning, sorting, laundry, etc.--while wearing headphones and the tiny built-in MacBook speakers aren't loud enough to hear while I'm moving about. THAT's why I wanted a cheap, simple pair of USB speakers. I wasn't expecting or looking for audiophile-quality speakers.These tiny Logitech S150 USB speakers certainly aren't audiophile quality, but they are a whole lot better sounding than I expected for this small price, and louder than I expected, too. They come with no useful instructions, but with a Mac that's not a problem. Just plug them in, then go to Sound in your System Preferences and there they'll be--you just click on them and they work. The three little switches give you Mono, Mute, and Stereo. They're plenty loud enough to clearly hear the melodies while I'm working in the same room. The surprise is that their quality is good enough that I can actually enjoy the music, too. I just needed functionally louder speakers and I got enjoyable ones in the bargain. At this price, they're a real deal.
