Paww WaveSound 3 Bluetooth 5.0 Headphones Active Noise Cancelling / 16-Hour Battery Life with Precision-Engineered Sound / Foldable Travel & Over-Ear Headphones (Black)

SHORT REVIEW: (done almost 1 month after purchase) Love them! Fantastic purchase. Would do it again.LATEST UPDATE: SEPT 1, 2018 - Have had this gem of a headphone set since June 2017. They are still going strong! And they look brand new! Granted I take decent care of them, and a majority of the time keep them in their clam shell. I use them a lot. The go on and on, and last about 20+ hours from a full charge. [Recommendation: fully charge the battery and then it all the way down everytime and then fully recharge it again. Doing this will help the battery not develop a shorter play time.]By the way, I received NO compensation for my review although I probably deserve a commission. HahaI did NOT receive these headphones for free or a reduced price, I PAID FULL PRICE for these headphones. So, I am a genuine reviewer.UPDATED REVIEW: (8 months +/- after purchase)I love these things! I use them all the time. The more that I use them, the more I am impressed with them. I would purchase these again with no hesitation - they cancel out roughly 80-85% of the noise for about a 25% of the cost of the best noise canceling headphones I have ever tried out. So this is a fantastic deal!(If you are going to be doing a high level of activity like running or zuma or something like that, these may be a little too heavy or bulky to be a best fit, better to try ear buds.)Thanks! And happy listening....to just the things you WANT to hear.DETAILED REVIEW: (done almost 1 month after purchase)I purchased these headphones about 3+ weeks ago in anticipation of some very long flights to and from a distant country. I wanted to find headphones that weren't going to cost me roughly $400 but would help to cancel a good portion of plane engine noise and cabin/passenger noise. I was hoping to get sleep on the plane and minimize jetlag. I am a taller and heavier than the average man. Yes, I guess that can mean I may have a bigger head too, and I wear glasses. So when you read this you can get a better idea of my physical stature and how I interacted with the head phones. I read many reviews on these headphones and am very glad that others detailed their reviews so well because it gave me the confidence to purchase the headphones and I am glad I purchased them.So here are my thoughts:1) These are professionally sized headphones. They are full size, and maybe a little larger than corded headphones because of Bluetooth capability, etc: meaning they contain their own rechargeable internal power supply, and have various electronic controls on them and so that adds weight and size. These are not "lightweight" headphones. They have some weight to them. But they are comfortable nonetheless.2) They feel solid, they are not cheap feeling in any way. They look and feel well made.3) The cushions/earpads of the headphones are well made. They are comfortable and in and of themselves help to eliminate some external noise. Please note - the headphones are designed to be worn on specific ear designations. (Ex. left speaker on left ear) Otherwise the headphones do not noise cancel as well and are less comfortable to wear for long periods of time.4) The headband that goes from one speaker to the other is decently padded and supports the weight of the headphones comfortably.5) The sound produced by the headphones' speakers I find quite nice and enjoyable. On the long flights, I was impressed with their sound and how well I could hear over all the external noise within the plane's cabin, and I didn't have to crank up the volume to maximum settings to listen comfortably - I'd like to preserve my longterm hearing too. Since returning home, I wear them around the house when cooking etc and have found them to be great for music or listening to a podcast etc.6) Noise cancelling - I thought these were a bargin for how well they cancelled external noise. I went to an electronics store and tried out many different noise cancelling headphones. There was a pair of Sony headphones for around $375 that were so good that I could not even hear the salesman talking to me, who was standing about 3 feet away. I tried many other headphones too, including Bose, but was not impressed as I was with the Sony's. One reviewer wrote that she used the Paww Headphones on a flight and couldn't hear the baby crying in the airplane seat right behind her. I also had a crying baby in the seat right behind me, and that kid had a vocal range that could put Maria Carrie to shame. The sound was piercing, undulating - constantly changing in pitch, volume and frequency. It seemed to powerfully reverberate throughout the cabin. I prayed for him because I knew it could not have been an easy time for him. He was so over tired. Plane travel is very hard on kids so it is very understandable why they cry as they do. His crying was the perfect time to test these headphones. I used 5 different tests. A) naked ears no headphones.....not a great idea at 330am with a crying baby on a plane. B) the plane's noice cancelling headphones with movie soundtrack playing C) The Paww's without noise cancelling switched on. D) The Paww's with just noise cancelling on. E) The Paww's with noise cancelling on and watching a movie.RESULTS: Over all, the Paww's did really well even with just the noise cancelling switched on. They were far superior to the airline's headphones. The sound of the crying baby was excruciating. But with the headphone's noice cancelling on, I could still hear the baby but the crying sound was reduced some 80-85% if not more. The crying became a very distant back ground noise. Then on the flight home, I wore them for many hours straight with only the noise cancelling turned on and had a nice quiet rest. I couldnt even hear another baby a few rows back who was crying.7) Battery charge - impressive! I wore these headphones a lot and they just kept going and going. What a fantastic product! They charged relatively quickly and then operated for many, many hours.8) I like the clamshell case and the accompanying wires. Great additions.9) I have not used the microphone feature.10) I have owned them for less then 1 month so I can't speak concerning longevity yet.I hope this helps you to make an informed decision in whatever way best meets your needs.

I'm very pleased with this purchase. Due to poor vision, I listen to audiobooks for hours at a time. Making it harder on headsets, I have a very large head (not much in there .. just a good echo chamber!). Both cause me to go through headsets faster than is normal. Many pair just break under the stresses. So, finding this pair so solidly constructed matters to me. And it should to you. You want your investment to last. To help you see if these fit your needs, let's review these from top to bottom.First the headband is well constructed. It is padded. I am going bald, so I notice something like this. A good padded headband means it won't bother my scalp after hours of wear. I've already don't that and found them very comfortable.Second, the headband and extensions on the side are made of solid pieces of metal. They should last longer when flexed over and over. It also provides a solid feel to the headset.Next, the ear cups rotate to allow it to to your head. A tighter fit helps eliminate ambient sounds. And it improves the comfort of the headset.Folding the headset is both easy and hard. Easy enough to do, when you intend to do so. But it does require just a touch of effort. That makes it hard enough that they won't fold up when you don't want them to do so. Exactly the right way to engineer this feature!The ear cushions do NOT fit over the ear. This pair fits on my ears. But they are VERY comfortable. They have a soft leatherette material. They are firm enough to stay in position and block ambient sound. I would say they cut out about three quarters of the sound that a pair of ear plugs would cut. Or more. But this is where the rubber meets the road. They are very comfortable to wear.The sound quality is excellent. I would say they are close in sound quality to headsets that cost much more money. I can and have listened to them all day long.The active noise cancellation is a desperate feature. You can wear these and not listen to any audio, but enable the noise cancellation. I like this approach. It allows me to control it and use it when I want it. Due to years in computer rooms I live with constant ringing in my ears. The active noise cancellation feature helps. It also helps on airplane rides.Don't expect miracles from active noise cancellation. They are designed to remove NOISE not all sound. Most obnoxious and harmful noise includes a lot of low frequency sound. The active noise cancellation feature helps remove those low frequency. This headset does a better job than several other pairs that I've owned in the past. And they met or exceed the performance of much more expensive headsets. But don't expect miracles. These would not work out on an airport tarmac.The controls for this headset are well designed. Volume up and down are desperate from the previous/next track buttons. That matters and makes them more useful for long term use. The active noise cancellation button is on the left ear cup, where it won't get confused with other buttons. Finally, my one frustration with this headset. The multi function button to turn them on or off is too small. It is hard to put my fingertip on just the correct spot to turn them on or off. I will learn in time, but this one feature is not intuitive. Expect that it will take a week or two to train yourself to get this right without looking.The Bluetooth radio receiver seems to do well on this pair. I've wandered a couple rooms away without losing signal. Of course your mileage will vary need on the obstructions in your home/office. The good news is that the receiver works as well as it should.Finally, the battery lasts at least most of the day. I've not yet run into a low battery warning. But I charge them each day while eating and watching the evening news.It seems to take as couple hours to charge. Maybe three. And the last about four to six hour at night and then for to six ours during the next day before I recharge then. I'm happy.Overall. This is a great purchase. This pair should last a long time and provide hundreds or thousands of hours of pleasure.
