Wyze Bluetooth 5.0 Headphones, Over The Ear Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation, High-Fidelity Sound, Transparency Mode, Alexa Built-in, Black

I was so sad when I left my Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones on a plane. They are amazing headphones, but I couldn't justify spending $300 on headphones that, let's be real, I was probably going to lose again. So I made the very sad decision to begin the search for budget headphones. I landed on Wyze for the price, features, and style. After having these for a couple months, here's a summary of my comparison to the $300 Bose QuietComfort 45: - On comfort and noise-cancelling quality, I'd say these are comparable to the Bose QuietComfort. I travel a lot and both of these are really important for long flights. - On style, I think these are really slick compared to the Bose QuietComfort. - As for features and usability, I actually prefer the Wyze headphones. For the most part, they are very similar, but they have two awesome features that I use all the time that I did not have with the Bose headphones: (1) the music pauses when you remove the headphones (how cool is that?!) and (2) transparency mode, which is super easy to use and works nicely. - When I bought these, my biggest concern was on sound quality. I'm an amateur musician and a huge audiophile, so this was really important to me, and I was very prepared to return these if the sound quality was not up to par. But I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality. To get this depth of sound at this price point, is pretty spectacular. That being said, it is a slight downgrade from the Bose QuietComfort 45 and other premium headphones. - As far as the value for your money, unless you're an audio engineer (which, if you are, I hope you're not using amazon reviews to select your headphones), are really wealthy, or have never lost anything in your life, I would highly recommend these headphones. Otherwise, you may want to splurge on something that will give you truly premium sound quality.

I'm not an audiophile, but for context my old Cowin E8 pros broke and I wanted an upgrade. I tested these against the following options - Bose QC 35i, Sony XM3 and XM4. The Bose and Sony were a tiny bit better on the noise cancelling, and I liked the style on the Sony's a bit better, but that's it, so they definitely weren't worth the extra $200 that they would have cost. The Wyze were actually better than the other options in terms of features (I think it has the best features from both the Sony and Bose options I tested), and comfort, and definitely value. Pros: - Very good noise cancelling - almost as good (maybe 95% as good) as the Sony/Bose near top of the line models - Great functional and practical features (two device bluetooth, buttons as well as touch controls, button to hear ambient noise as well as just cover the right ear cup to have a conversation, etc.) - Sound quality is good - I'm not an audiophile like I said, but I didn't note any issues - Microphone is really good - I work in my laundry/utility room in my basement currently (work from home, remodeling - one of the main reasons I wanted better noise cancelling headphones) - I've held calls with the dryer running right next to me and the person on the other side said they couldn't hear anything. - Unbeatable value - The higher priced models are just using their brand names to charge a ridiculous premium. This model has quality engineering at an unbeatable price. - Good comfort - the touch points are nicely padded. I preferred the larger/oval openings of the ear cups of the Bose and Sony's personally, but these are still comfortable and the headband on these is superior in comfort for wearing for longer periods/all day. Cons - Carry case is just a soft bag. It does have pockets for the included wires, but a hard case would be nicer - the Sony's had a really nice one. However, given the price point on these, I wouldn't really expect something better and the bag works/isn't low quality. - Occasionally I've had issues with sound cutting out on my computer when I'm connected to the computer and phone over bluetooth. It's sporadic but seems like turning the bluetooth connection on and off on my phone fixes it. A little annoying but the Sony and Bose also had their own annoying glitches, so it's not like it's a value issue (and may just be a user issue tbh). I really wanted to like the Sony's the most, but these were just too good of value and the Sony's had their own issues that just didn't justify their price. Returned the Sony's and stuck with these. I'd definitely recommend these if you're looking for max value and don't care about having a more recognized brand name on your headphones.

I bought these to replace my MPOW-059 headphones I’ve had for about two years. The only reason being because the cloth on the head strap of the MPOW headphones has started to peel off revealing the foam cushion underneath. Otherwise those headphones still work great and I still use them as backups. These have the exact same features as the MPOW-059’s but with a few extra perks as some others have noted. Namely the pairing is easier and also, unlike with the MPOWs when paired to a second device will also automatically pair to that second device (when on) as well as the first paired. With the MPOWs you had to connect manually to the second device every time (not pairing every time but connecting). Kind of a hassle so I just ended up using them for one device. But these will connect automatically to two once paired the first time. Note though, these do not mix audio sources. (You can’t play two devices simultaneously). I don’t believe the MPOWs do either but I never really tried to be honest. These are more comfortable on the head/ears, especially when lying down on your side. The MPOWs kind of pinched my lower ear if I was using them in bed but these don’t. Also, they charge much more quickly than the MPOW's, in about an hour where the MPOW's can take 4-5 hours to reach a full charge. Also these have a brilliant feature that it will automatically pause whatever you are watching/listening to, if you just take them off your head. The MPOWs never did that. Also, another lovely feature is that if you just cup your hand over the right earphone, it mutes the sound (and noise cancellation) so you can hear what someone may be trying to say to you without removing the headphones. It’s a neat little feature but I’ve just been taking the headphones off in such a case. Speaking of the noise cancellation it is quite effective muting background noise/sound at least 50%, really more in normal ambient noise level conditions. To give you and idea of the level of cancellation, I haven’t tried them on a plane yet but we live near some railroad tracks and normally I can hear a train go by if not wearing these. If wearing, the train noise is muted completely. The volume controls work very well and it also does indeed have an actual internal microphone in the headphones I can confirm. (When I was shopping I couldn’t be 100% sure but I can say that with certainty now). The MPOWs don’t and I was disappointed for that reason after I bought them. People say I sound very clear when on a call or in a virtual meeting (like on Teams) so if you want these for that reason definitely get them. I’m not sure how well they block background noise for those in the call (those hearing you). Apparently they are supposed to do that but of course I can’t tell how well others hear any background noise. They say they don’t but could be just polite etc. who knows. They say they can hear me well though so I think that’s sufficient. So I give 5 stars for everything BUT the sound quality to which I give 4 stars. Really I’d give it 4.5 if I could. Only because, to my untrained, non-audiophile ears, there does seem to be a SLIGHT reduction in range (the bass) compared to the MPOW-059 especially when gaming. When I say “slight” though I mean slight it’s really not worth it to pass up these in favor of the MPOWs (or other similar price point headphones) for this reason alone. Unless you are super demanding for audio in that case I’d recommend going up another range of cost. Admittedly I haven't used the companion app in which, apparently, one can adjust the sound, so there's that caveat. Really I think these are a better buy than the MPOW-059, if only slightly. Mainly for the comfort and the internal mic. And in my opinion you can’t do better than these or the MPOWs at this price point.

**EXTENSIVE REVIEW** I got these headphones after seeing a fellow gym rat wearing them. I wanted a new pair of headphones for working out, and I figured these would be a perfect pair of beater headphones. After testing them, however, they are an excellent purchase for the price. These headphones include features from flagship headphones such as the Sony XM4/XM5s and Bose QuietComfort 45s but at a budget price. These include: -Sony's "cupping" feature that allows temporary transparency mode for conversations -Auto-play/pause when taking on/off headphones -Bose's superior physical buttons for volume control -Built-in equalizer in-app -Foldability for travel -Transparency and noise cancellation mode (more below) -Plush earcups and padding are similar to Sony's (shallower ear cup) to Bose's more spacious offerings. The transparency mode is nowhere near the AirPods Max's level, but it's comparable to the Bose QC45. You will be able to hear and converse with people normally. The noise cancellation is impressive for the price. You will not get the level of Sony or Bose, but it is sufficient for everyday travel, including walking along a busy city street, taking public transit, or working out at the gym. For the price, it is pretty impressive, and there is no "pressure" feeling when the ANC is on. They are comfortable to wear and even work out in but note that the ear cups are less spacious than the Bose QC45s or the AirPods Max. Nonetheless, the headphones are light without feeling cheap and feel plush. My negatives are that the headphones come with only a cheap pouch and not a good case, the sound quality is nothing special, and the microphone sounds average. Overall, I am highly impressed by these headphones and enjoy using them for even day-to-day tasks. I recommend these as a budget alternative to flagship active noise-cancellation headphones.

I've had some more expensive set or noise canceling headphone but these are every bit as good for a cheaper price The headphones are well packaged. The foam on that rest on the side of your head are soft and comfortable. I had it on for 3 hours on a flight andit didn't bother me at all. I love the features, especially Transparent mode which allows everything in the sorrounding area a little better. Hand gesture that pauses your music and amplifies the mics to allow you to have a conversation works great. I do wish it paused instead of lower the volume. The headphones very comfortable. The price is definitely yet another thing to love about these. I got these during prime day and it took another $10 off the already low price. I think I got it for like $52. One thing I really like is that you can open up your Wyze app and see how much battery is left, change the sound with the equalizer., change around what the different features do. It's great. When I received these it was already at 80% battery power. It's been a week and I've been on 2 flights and I still have 30% left. These are a great pair of headphones. I plan on getting my wife and brother a pair next time they have another deal

These are a great value for everyday use and I'm glad I went with this purchase. I have higher end audiophile headphones that will take another few months to be repaired and I bought these as a backup pair. User friendly out of the box, they seamlessly paired with two Apple devices. I frequently go between these devices without any issues. Yay! Pretty comfortable with nice soft pads that don't squeeze my head or hurt my ears after more than an hour of use. Decent bluetooth range, I've tested them going upstairs and outside. Haven't really pushed the battery limits yet. Decent active noise cancellation worked pretty good while vacuuming, haven't tried on a plane yet. Easy to toggle between ANC and transparency mode. Decent sound quality for different types of music as well as voice calls. Only quibble is I wish the pause/play button was more variably sized/ergonomic to press. It's hard to isolate it from the vol up/down. It might just take getting used to. Overall great value, exactly what I was looking for.

Terrific headphones and super comfy

Update: 06/16/23 Changing it to 3 starts because of an extremely annoying bug. I got these headphones for their comfort and noise canceling. About a year ago my headphones started randomly switching from Noise Cancelling to Transparency mode. This ruins the main reason I got these headphones (to focus on work meetings, tune out people on my walks, and silence my very vocal cats for a little bit). This came back about a month ago. In my opinion, this is a major bug and I haven't seen any response from Wyze on the forums. I love the company (I have the vacuum, earbuds, and night lights), but this bug really ruins a stellar product. Also, I'm a software developer by day so Wyze if you need me to trouble shoot this, I will...for a gift card ;) Pros --- * Amazing sound quality * Great noise cancellation and easy to turn on / off * Great app features * Long battery * Super comfortable Cons --- * The adjustment of the head strap is too loose. I constantly have to readjust it * Better suction would make the noise cancelling perfect, I still hear some things with it on
