I’m doing my degree with Open University and need to use a screen reader, so I wear headphones for a good few hours at a time. I was fed up with wired headphones and having to take them off every time I moved away from my laptop, even just to get something off the printer, so I wanted a pair of Bluetooth headphones. The Bluetooth headphones I had were great, but they were big and after a few hours they sometimes started to get uncomfortable. Although these headphones are almost full sized and completely cover your ears, they’re so light and comfortable you don’t even realise you have them on.

​

Although Aukey don’t say these are noise-cancelling headphones, they do a pretty good job at cutting out external noise. The sound quality from them is great too, speech is lovely and clear and music has a good depth to it and is well balanced. If they’re paired with your phone they can also be used to accept phone calls; when I tried this out, I could hear the person really clearly and they could hear me clearly too.

​

The headphones paired instantly with my laptop and my Android phone, they now automatically pair with my laptop when I turn them on. Also, as I’m useless at remembering to charge my headphones up I love the fact they’ll last for 10 hours on a single charge or 200 hours in standby; but if you’re like me and forget to charge them, they also come with a 3.5 aux cable which can be used to connect the headphones the traditional way.

​

Another bonus of these headphones is not only are they not as bulky as normal full sized headphones, they also fold up, so they’re even better for taking out and about with you. These really are a great set of headphones and they come with Aukeys normal 2 years guarantee.
