What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details conflict or are unconfirmed: the product details list 200 Grams while the feature copy claims 3.3 oz (92g), battery claims range from 26 hours to 28 hours, and Bluetooth range is listed as both 10 Metres and up to 49ft(15m). The details also name MICRO-USB as a headphone jack while the box list calls the Micro-USB cable a charging cable. Confirm the required weight, talk-time expectation, range and port function before buying. The feature copy says microphone mute works only on mobile phones, while other listing material describes an on-mic mute button without the same limitation.

Customer feedback describes clear sound, comfortable wear, easy laptop connections and battery life that some say lasts up to two days. Experiences with noise cancellation and microphone performance are mixed, including reports of a microphone stopping after 10 months. The on-ear design and long battery claim may suit routine calls, but buyers who depend on consistent noise reduction or microphone operation should weigh those reported concerns.

Mixed feedback

  • Microphone experiences are mixed, with some reporting that it stopped working after 10 months.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the battery last?

The specifications list 28 Hours, while other listing copy states 26 hours. Treat battery duration as unconfirmed and check which figure applies to the selected model.

Can the headset connect to two devices?

The feature copy claims simultaneous pairing with two Bluetooth devices. This is a listing claim and is not independently verified here.

Does microphone mute work on a computer?

The title details say mute only works with mobile phones. Other listing copy describes a mute button without specifying the same limitation, so confirm computer mute support if it is essential.

What is included in the box?

The explicit contents list names a Micro-USB charging cable, a user manual and one wireless headset with microphone.
