After reading many reviews and watching a few videos I was iffy on whether to buy this or not. A lot of people were complaining about the mic audio being to low for others to hear when using it. Well they were right, having receive the headphones and trying it out for many hours now, my friends told me that the audio quality of the mic isn't so great. This wan't something I was concerned about as I use a condenser mic for talking to others. In terms of the audio I was disappointed. After setting everything up and installing the Logitech G Hub program to adjust settings on the headphones, the audio was very quiet. At 100% volume it was not enough for me to be able to hear enemies from miles away nor was it loud enough for me in general. With this, I set out to search the forums for solutions and luckily I came across a few that told me to change the drivers that were installed and change it to the generic windows driver. This immediately changed the playing field as it bumped the max volume by 30%! After that I hopped into Apex Legends and started hearing enemies from far away. Even better than my friends were hearing! (He has a Corsair Void Pro). For $75 I was satisfied with the quality after changing the drivers of course. It had everything I wanted in a gaming headset, DTS:X 7.1 sounds quite good in my opinion and helps out with spotting enemies really easily. The last thing I want to mention is the ear pads that came with this headphone. A lot of people are saying that it is a really uncomfortable fit as they have said it is a itchy material. Well I can say that after wearing for 2 hours , it isn't that bad. None the less I swapped out the ear pads with Brainwavs memory foam ear pads and it worked wonders. I had read another review that recommended it and they were right. Comfort went up to a solid 10/10! I highly recommend purchasing those along with this headset to experience true comfort. It can be fidgety to get them on, but once they are on, it's like you have clouds cushioning your ears.

I’ve upgraded from the Ticwatch Pro 2020 (TWP2020) which I have thoroughly enjoyed since I purchased one a few months back. I was very happy with the TWP2020, but when I heard that the TWP3 would be introducing the 4100 chipset, a larger battery with a 3 day extended battery life, and a backlit LCD screen (a feature which I really wish they had on the TWP2020), I had to jump on getting a new one.Increased battery capacity - I’ve spent the past week wearing this watch on at all times and only taking it off when it required charging. I spent the first 48 hours monitoring how the battery would last and I’d have to say their claim of 3 days of battery life held true. I have the watch using all the health apps and keep the watch on at night to monitor my sleep duration. After spending 72 hours with the watch, I finally charged the watch so that I could go through the next cycle. It’s quite nice not having to worry about waking up to a dead watch or having to charge it nightly. One thing that I have been doing is putting the watch on ‘Essential Mode’ before sleeping, which increases the Watch Idle time, but still tracks my sleep.Health tracking – I’ve primarily been using the new TWP3 to monitor my sleep duration, and it’s been interesting to see the quality of sleep I’ve been getting (good or bad). I have also been using TicPulse and TicOxygen, though I’ve never used a SpO2 sensor before, and it’s been kind of nice just to monitor my overall health throughout the day. If you’re not happy with any of the TicHealth-related fitness tracking applications they provide, you can always switch to Google’s suite of applications.4100 Chipset – The performance of the watch has been great. The TWP2020 was a step in the right direction with the increased ram, but with the increased ram + the new chipset, the performance has been buttery smooth. Even the boot time for the new watch has improved.Aesthetics / Overall Quality – The TWP3 is sleeker and better looking when compared to the TWP2020. One note I will say is that the TWP3 is slimmer and lighter, but I actually really liked how the TWP2020 was in terms of overall size (I may be the only one who feels this way), and also the weight. I actually really liked how heavy the TWP2020 was because the weight made it feel more durable. But the TWP3 has been very easy to wear, and while the overall size isn’t all that much different, it does look much nicer. Though I will feel sad when I get rid of my TWP2020 because I’ve enjoyed it so much over the past couple of months. I do like the new silicone band the TWP3 does come with, but as many others do the same, I have several 22mm bands which I change out from time to time. The first week, I stuck with the TWP3 stock watch band, but on my second week, I switched to the hybrid strap the TWP2020 came with (I ordered 2 hybrid straps because I liked them so much with the TWP2020). The TWP3 display does have a slight display bezel around the screen (between the display and the physical watch bezel). The TWP2020 does not have a display bezel which made it look very clean, but for the TWP3 it does not bother me as much (as it does not outweigh the new upgrades). I just hope that they will get rid of the display bezel for the next iteration.Overall – I love it. I originally stopped wearing smart watches because I felt put off at the fact that I had to charge them nightly. But I’m really digging the fact that the TWP3 can last 3 days without a charge (up to 45 days if just using the Essential Mode). I do wish we could have some flexibility in customizing what gets shown on the LCD screen, but hopefully this comes in a future model. For now – I am very very happy with my TWP3!

This one goes up to 11. Or at least it seems like it with my Samsung S10 Plus mobile phone, and there's no lack of volume when listening with these.First impressions when opening the box are that these are very small as far as headphones go. They're "on ear" rather than "over the ear", and that helps keep the size down but it also means that when you're wearing them they don't provide a huge amount of isolation from the outside world. So maybe not to be used when you're sat in a room with a TV on in the background, or for walking along the side of a dual carriageway.As far as the look goes, you'll either appreciate the classic Marshall amp look or you won't, and fortunately I do (as will anyone else who likes real music). They're best described as "retro", with the most modern looking part being the USB-C charging socket. The battery life, speaking of charging, is quoted at a whopping 80 hours! I listen on headphones for maybe an hour or two a day, five days a week, so I'm looking at a couple of months minimum before I'd need to recharge. That's phenomenal any way you look at it.In the box you get a charging lead and an audio lead should Bluetooth not be your thing, and unlike virtually every other set of Bluetooth headphones I've ever owned both leads are of decent quality. The charging lead is of a reasonable length, and the audio lead mimics a guitar lead with a coiled section in it. To be honest though, unless you have no other choice I probably wouldn't bother with the lead and I'd do everything wireless,The headphones pair up easily and as you'd expect from something with the Marshall name on it it works perfectly. The sound quality is, and I don't say this very often, fantastic. My phone is known for having weedy volume with some headphones, but these can go really loud. Better yet, the audio quality is clear across all frequencies and the bass is amazing. Now, when I hear somebody say that headphones have great bass my first thought is always "Oh no..." I'm not into bass heavy music, and "good bass" often means overly warm and thumpy, whereas this is precise and hard hitting. On top of that you get nice sparkly treble. I love this sound signature.Controls, such as they are, consist of one little brass button on the earcup which you press to turn on and off, and then use like a joystick for everything else (up and down for volume and left right for track changes). The unique feature that goes with this is that every movement is accompanied by the sound of a short guitar riff. That might get a bit wearing after a while to be honest, but it's not a problem for me because I always use the controls on my phone or player when I want to do anything. That's just me, but you may be different.The headband is adjustable and the earphones are quite comfortable, although as I said earlier I tend to listen for a couple of hours at a time and no longer. I've seen online reviews where they say that the headphones can get a bit uncomfortable after four or five hours, but I can't see me ever using them for that long.One last thing, is that when I watched a YouTube video (and again, I almost never do this) there was a tiny bit of lag or latency between the visuals and the audio. I've seen far worse when I've tested headphones, but it's worth pointing out. It's fine for pop videos but might be a bit annoying if you're somebody who likes to watch a three hour film on a screen the size of a wristwatch.Overall, I can't do anything but recommend these. I love them, and they're small enough when folded up to fit in a (generously sized) inside jacket pocket. If I had one complaint it would be that there's no carrying bag, but other than that I say buy them.

I bought this product as an upgrade from my beaten up Sennheiser 215's, which lasted three years and I loved for the adjustable ear. The adjustable ear on this product was part of what sold it to me.I found these headphones comfortable to wear, relatively compact and I appreciated the detachable cable. The sound was really wonderful, very balanced, bass was there but far from overpowering. I wore them for long periods before they would start to chafe a little.Disappointingly, 11 months after buying these headphones, the housing on the adjustable ear snapped. The headphones were moved around and brought with me a fair amount, but they weren't placed under any undue stress- it appeared as if the plastic simply wore down after extended use. The cables leading to the cup were intact, but the plastic was snapped, leaving it unwearable. My warranty intact, I sent it in to a repair centre and I was quickly sent out a good-as-new replacement.Sadly, after four months this housing just snapped yet again. My warranty now over, so I've tried using some tape to salvage it. But the thing is, that adjustable cup and its has some sort of elastic nature to it that makes it hug the ear whenever the phones are on. With the housing broken, even with the phones taped up and apparently a normal shape, the cup doesn't hug the ear but leans slightly off of it. So this housing is integral to the normal use of the headphones. But it broke.It's a real shame because I've nothing but praise for everything else the headphones do and for Audio-Technica's customer service which was very prompt- though I did use Japanese customer service so that might say more about the country than the company. I recommend these headphones, particularly if you don't see yourself moving around much with them or if you're the kind of person who treats their gadgets like little glass ornaments. Personally, I'll be looking for something a bit more hard-wearing in the future.

Edit: after using this phone ring for almost two years, I have only good things to say. I have gotten way more than $10 of use out of this thing. It came with extra adhesives, so once I needed a new phone, I carried it over without issue. I got the black one and the color is wearing down on the edges of the inside circle, but it's just cosmetic. The ring still rotates around the anchor just like it did when I first got it (it hasn't loosened or rusted), and the ring still bends the same, too.I think the most important thing is that after 2 years, not once has the ring popped of and caused my phone to drop. I have cracked phone screens in the past because of this, but I have absolutely no fear that this phone ring will come off, and I carry my phone by just the ring when my hands are full with confidence. Actually, I'm going to be buying a new one to use with a new case because I can't even get it off my current phone if I tried (also, I ran out of adhesives).Original review:I have not had a single issue with this phone ring in the months I've had it. It's stuck well (it came with extra adhesives, too), it still rotates, and it still holds the angle of the ring. As a stand, it does not have the strength to hold it up at very low angles, but will hold a phone at high angles (more perpendicular to the table/upright). I have it placed closer to the middle of my phone, so I can only use this with my phone on its side, not in portrait mode.I have small-medium hands, and this ring perfectly around my first knuckles if I have the ring around two of my fingers. To folks who are wondering about comfort compared to a pop socket: a pop socket is softer, but a ring requires less work to hold in my experience.

Being a crazy avid user of over ear headphones i've used many of the top spec products out there before, I had both the Sony XM3 and the Bose QC 35II and they were amazing. In need of a new replacement for my worn out QC35IIs I wanted to try something new but not break the bank. That's where I literally stumbled across these as they looked really similar at first glance to my XM3's. I never heard of Philips making noise cancelling headphones before and through a quick youtube search it seems like no mainstream youtuber reviewed these pairs of headphones either. I tried my luck and decided to give these a go and im definitely pleased given its price. Ill go over its pros and cons below and since im no audiophile knowing what's the right mix of highs and lows I will give my unprofessional opinion. Note that I got these for under 100$ because of a holiday sale. Take that in mind when you read the review and for the price you currently have.PROS:~ Great battery life, advertised as 30 hours and I got around 25-27 hours on mid-high volume.~ Quality on the band and the ear pieces are great. Didn't notice any creaking of the plastic or flexing that caused any housing to pop out.~ Fairly comfortable. The ear cup design and cutout definitely mirrors the XM3's, while these are not as good as the QC35IIs (which imo are industry leading in comfort), I would say they are actually slightly better than the XM3's. I felt the XM3's were more stuffy on my ear and the clamping pressure of the band made it uncomfortable to wear after 4-5 hours. I've been wearing these Philips for 6-7 hours at a time and I didn't really notice any major discomfort. Of course, each person's head shape is different and comfort varies upon the individual.~ For those who love bass, I think these were amazing, even slightly overpowering for me. They are comparable to the XM3's.~ sound quality is great, it sounds just like the industry leading XM3's and better than the QC35II's. I have been using my Airpods pro a lot and these are miles better in sound quality.~ noise cancellation works well for its price range.~ carrying pouch it comes with is well made and compact enough to slide in your backpack.CONS:~ the ambient sound feature is absolutely horrible on these headphones. For those who don't know ambient it lets you hear your surroundings better without you needing to take of your headphones. Even with these on I can't really hear anything outside. For reference, my AirPods pro ambient feature uses the microphones to enhance the outside noise and it makes it feel like you're not wearing earphones at all. These Philips do not do that at all.~ the microphones on these headphones are not great. I would not recommend using these when calling.~ the OK google tap function can get very annoying. every time I accidentally brush across the ear cup I activate the OK google function. Furthermore, I couldn't find a way to activate siri instead of google. Other brands at this price point offer this feature.~ Touch controls to control volume were very difficult at first to get use to. You need to do more of a tap than a swipe. But once you master this, then the volume controls work great.~ on my second picture, you can see that the ring of plastic changes to a more piano black which picks up scratches and fingerprints like crazy. I wish they used a consistent design throughout the ear cup.Overall, I would say at my purchase price these were definitely a bargain for its quality. While it's not as amazing with fancy features as the top Sony and Bose headphones, I received these at a fraction of their price. If you see a sale of these for under 100$ I would go for it for sure!

This is my second (actually 3rd if you count the one I bought for my son) TicWatch. Needless to say, I am a big fan. The prior version I owned was an LTE. While I loved the watch, my primary complaints were the battery life. The battery will last for days (2-3) without a charge. When I was using the LTE version, I had to charge the watch overnight to get a full day use - this watch, I charge for a few minutes while in the shower -- never need to take it off otherwise. I am sure that some of the difference is due to the lack of LTE, however, the extended battery life has changed the way I use the watch. I have had sleep issues -- wearing the watch through the night has helped me to discover how much and to what quality sleep I am getting. Helped to communicate this to my Doc. This watch also has a slightly larger screen - and the little extra makes a big difference in readability (especially if you are over 50 like I am). I wear it every day while working out -- love that it has a specific cross-fit workout setting. The ability to track heartrate -- and blood oxygen levels --- is great and it is comfortable to wear. The appearance is great -- I was as apple watch user previously -- the appearance is excellent -- looks like a high-end sports watch and not a toy (which is what I thiink the apple watches look like). The watch is substantial, but light and comfortable. I wear this watch to the office -- it looks like a watch a serious grown-up would wear.Overall -- I love this watch. I will say that I miss the LTE with the ability to answer calls and respond to texts -- with or without the phone -- and will be looking forward to the opportunity to combine the battery life, look, feel and functionality I have enjoyed with LTE in future releases )I gave the Pro LTE to my other son so there is no looking back), I highly recommend this watch -- especially for apple users like me who want an alternative to the apple watch.

This is only my second review I have ever written...that's how good these are. I live on music just about every waking hour. I am still a 64 year old headbanger, so I know quality and good sound. I had a set of Phillips that I wore out. I bought a pair of $20 earbuds at CVS pharmacy. The highs were non-existent and the voices could not be heard through the "mud". Everything was low and gurgled.That brings me to these. Most earbuds don't show the frequency response on the package. It is a "crap shoot", looking for quality. These are clearly labeled and all the info is clearly displayed so you know what you are getting. These are AWESOME earbuds. I don't like the wireless type because they are not as comfortable and the batteries die after about 5 hours. These are much more comfortable and they have a really nice industrial style design that screams "quality". The cord is a braided looking shiny steal in appearance and coated with clear see through vinyl plastic. It has a nice little carrier if you want to carry them, when you are not wearing them.Final review... the lows are LOW and the highs are HIGH. they get so loud you can hear them over a lawnmower, using a vibrator sander, or a circular saw. I liked them so much I bought two more pairs FOR ME, just in case I ever break them or lose them. The only problem is the audio jack is straight. It sticks out of the phone close to an inch so I have to put my phone in my shirt pocket upside down and the jack sticks out in the air. I am going to try and find a short 90 degree adapter to plug them in with so I don't worry about bending the plug or damaging my phone.Like the headline says...BUY THESE, you wont be disappointed.Bryan
