ISELECTOR BNC80 Wireless Bluetooth Over Ear Headphones with Active Noise Cancelling for Air Travel

I am not an audiophile, but I do love music and listen to it for several hours a day. Maybe I am in denial, who knows. I’m 23 and love dubstep, classical, pop, the sorts.I purchased several pairs in an attempt to find the "perfect pair" for less than $250. There is not one that matches this bill, but from 7 or so tried pairs these are my favorite. I looked for 5 things: Bluetooth capable, Active Noise Cancellation (ACN), Sound Quality, Comfort, and Price (prioritized in that order). Here are the resultsHeadphones Tested (all about $150 and below, minus the Sony headphones which were about $200)Noisehush 19BTIselector BNC80Juboury SolaceGolzer Banc- 50 Bluetooth 4.1AncStudio Wireless BluetoothBohm WirelessSony MDR-ZX770BNMy unbiased review (none were given at cost-reduction for ratings)All were Bluetooth except Joboury. Darn you suggestive advertising.COST:for $60-120, the price is not horribly variable. You can get a pair of MDR-ZX770BNs for about $100 open-boxed on other websitesACN:This is where the fields are not levelObviously for $100, none are quite “Bose-quality”. Let's throw that out there.Iselector pair and BOHM were very close in quality of ANC. The Iselector pair is over-ear while the BOHM pair was on-ear, so I preferred the over-ear.all of the rest of the headphones lacked ANC, due to fit or simply bad quality ANC. I used an oscillating fan white noise video on Youtube at various distances to compare quality. None of the headphones drowned out the higher hum of the fan, but the Iselector and BOHM pairs outperformed significantly. Used while driving, same results. Sony's were not insulated enough, others were just poor.SOUND QUALITYThe Golzer and Iselector pairs were my favorite. This may be due to the fit rather than the actual sound quality. Overall there was not a pair that was absolutely atrocious, but nothing really jumped out at me as “AMAZING.”Wired the BOHM, Iselector, Golzer and Sonys were pretty close to my Soundlinks, give or take about 15%.COMFORT:Again, this is were great differences were had. The Iselector over-ear design is by-far better than the BOHM on-ear comfort.BOHM - could only be worn for about 1.5 hours without feeling too much pain that resulted in needing a break. The Iselector pair I have been wearing all morning (about 4 hours thus far) and only slight pressure at the tops of my ears. Otherwise very comfortable.Sony - had thinner padding in the ear cups, allowing my ears to touch the inside speakers (I’m 23 and my ears are not abnormally large).Noisehush - Awkward-shaped band…did not sit properly on my head. I could not even wear for 30 minutes as it was just awkward.Golzer – comfortable, but a bit heavier than some of the othersAncStudio – fit nicely, but a little snug. Did not wear for over an hour.Overall, I like the Iselecotors the best. There are some Cons (no on-headphone volume control, in-line mic), but for about $85 with tax and including a nice case and accessories, I’d say it’s a fair deal.The BOHM pair was my second favorite (coupon on Amazon can bring down to even $60). Also a great pair with added in-line mic when wired as well as volume control, but for $25 difference I prefer all-day comfort.I am unimpressed with most of the others. If ANC is not a big deal, no worries, but that was a no-go for me for several pairs.HOPE this review helps!!

I bought these for the Noise Cancellation feature. Bluetooth worked great but the manufacturer installed a different type of slide switch on the right-side headphone and the NC feature could not be activated. Online photos show a switch that can slide in the slot of the headphone cover. The one I got is different and the switch wouldn't move. The photos show difference between the two switches.I return them because I couldn't activate the Noise Cancellation feature.Updated 02/17/2016: The seller sent a replacement set with a NC switch that slides correctly. It's all good now!THANKS for the EXCELLENT Customer Service! Review changed to 5-stars!

I have only had these headphones for a very short time, but let me mention that delivery was quick, the parcel arrived undamaged and these headphones will definitely do the job for the price. Everything does exactly what it should and the only improvement would be to have a volume control on the headphones themselves. I have a pair that does and it proves to be very convenient. I find the bass to be pleasant, not overbearing or thumping. Mid range and highs are certainly satisfactory. This is my opinion and was not compensated for. I have no doubt in my mind that you would be very satisfied. Might I also mention that the quality is very good, they appear to be well constructed.

The sound quality is fine, unfortunately the bluetooth range sucks. The audio completely cuts out from my phone when it is inserted into my pocket.When the phone is on a flat surface, I can only get about 5 feet away from it before the audio cuts out completely.It is a little bit better on my computer, but not by much. One of the reasons I got this headset was so I could take conference calls on the computer without a wire, as I tend to pace a bit when on the phone. It would not be possible with this set. The bluetooth radio appears to be in the left earpiece and is EXTREMELY directional. If something obstructs slightly, for example, your head, it looses the audio completely.The headset is very comfortable to wear. I was not able to actively test the ANC.Based on all the positive reviews, it is possible I got a lemon. Unfortunately, it is not worth it to me to try and get the company to replace. I will just return it to Amazon and buy a product from another manufacturer.

I bought these based on all the five star reviews but the product I received was barely worth the two stars I am giving it.. The headphones worked ok and the sound was fair. I thought the sound lacked the depth and bass response that a quality set of headphones should deliver. When I switched on the noise cancelling, the sound had an echoing effect like I was in a tunnel making this feature unusable.Also, the cheesy large font of the "Iselector" name on the headphones makes these look very cheap.
