Active Noise Cancelling Headphones with Microphone and Airplane Adapter, Alteng J19 Folding and Lightweight Travel Headsets, Hi-Fi Deep Bass Wired Headphones with Carrying Case - Black

I just received the Alteng Hi-Fi 30H headphones and I am very impressed with it.Pros:LightweightUse as Bluetooth or wired (cable supplied)Wired operation does not require the headphones to be turned on. Saves battery charge.When paired to your cell phone you can answer and talk and both hear and be heard clearly.Pairs perfectly with my Ipad2 and my iPhone 6S. Works every time.Large LED indicatorFolds up to fit into a nice travel bag (supplied)Has a fully functional noise cancelling feature that works in either Bluetooth or wired modeI want to expand on a few of these items. The quality of talking on the phone was excellent. My wife called me from a different room and said I sounded the same as if I were holding the phone up to my head. And her voice in the headphones was excellent and the volume could be adjusted with the raise and lower buttons. I have 3 Bluetooth earbuds from different manufacturers and they are all inferior in quality to these headphones when it comes to telephone use.I believe the main function of the noise cancelling is to improve performance for airline travelers. I simulated the roar of the engines by turning the vent fan on my microwave oven to Boost and putting my head right next to it while listening to an audio-book. As expected, the noise was distracting with noise cancelling in the OFF position. Switching noise cancelling to ON provided an immediate improvement. First there was a slight increase in volume but more importantly there was a very large reduction in the roar of the microwave vent fan. I am very impressed.Cons:I might have slightly larger ears than most. The ear pieces are designed to fit around the ear. My ears don’t quite fit into the opening so either the top or bottom of my ear hangs out. The foam pad around the ear is quite soft so the small size of the ear piece in itself is not a deal breaker. I had my wife try them on and her ears are smaller and she was extremely pleased with the fit. She would give it a 5-star rating for comfort. I’m leaning more to 4-star so we’ll settle on 4.5-stars for comfort.The padding on the top band is a little thin. Since I don’t have any hair on the top of my head, I would be happier if the band had a bit more padding. Again, my wife was very pleased with the overall comfort.Other Observations:The volume buttons work a bit differently than those on my 3 sets of earbuds. Here is my finding listening to an audio-book on my iPhone. On the earbuds a quick press of the raise or lower buttons changes the volume. A long press goes to the next or previous track. I assume the same would be true with music. On the Alteng headphones it is the opposite. A short press jumps to the next or previous track. A long press increases or decreases volume.The LED is large and easy to see. When the noise cancelling is on the LED lights steady blue. Since noise cancelling works for Bluetooth or wired you might not remember to turn off noise cancelling after use to help save battery charge. There is a note about this in the instruction booklet.A small adapter is provided which I could not at first understand. It is listed as an airplane adapter. It has two mono plugs and a receptacle to accept the stereo wired cable. I imagine that this is used on an airplane that has this type of two-hole jack built into the seats for on-board entertainment. I don’t fly much and the few flights I have taken recently have had single stereo jacks. Frequent travelers probably know how to use this adapter.Conclusion:I recommend this headphone for home or travel use. It is lightweight, compact, rich with features and relatively low cost. Based on the excellent performance of the operating features I have decided to give this a 5-star rating despite the one caveat of the ear opening being a tad small. As usual, your mileage may vary.

Sound Quality-The wireless NC headphones provides decent audio encompassing sound quality, especially considering at an entry-level price range. With its soft, enveloping earpads, one can easily to tune out the rest of the world and get lost in the music. Only fault would be lack of deep bass, but at one-sixth the price of the industry’s leaders, one can understand that.Comfort/StyleA dark black headband with red trim around the earpads gives a stylish look. The adjustable band is both sturdy and lightweight, thus making it easily portable. It’s foldable design helps to keep it tucked away, especially from the snatching hands of a six year old boy.● Accessories include: micro-usb cable for charging, a 3.5mm audio, cable, pouchRange/Playing Time Impressive Battery life with playtime around 30hrs (Noise Cancelling) and (Bluetooth) 12hrs with heavy use. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery’s charging time is comparable to other models coming in around 3hrs. Range: The manual states it has a 33ft range, but I was having some interference issues on my second level at a closer distance.Setup/Playback controls Quick pairing, or a wired option. Playback and answer call controls are on centrally located on the left side of the headset. Additional capabilities include skip Next/Previous track buttons, and volume control. Note: make sure to turn on the ANC button as it is a standalone system.Overall, I would recommend this product to friends and family. While, I would love a little more bass, you can’t beat the price.

I replaced some other headsets that were not blue tooth but noise cancelling. These headsets worked perfectly on my recent trip and was nice to finally have a Blue Tooth headset for listening Audio Book on my tablet. It was easy to use and I like the recharging feature.. It re-charged quickly without a problem. Very impressed with the quality and how the Noise Cancel worked as well. The wire connection worked as well for listening to the audio on the plane. Happy with this purchase.

I use it mostly to listen to my music server at night in bed. I've never owned an active noise canceling headset before, and find it works pretty well. As with all anti-phase noise cancelers, you can still hear if someone is talking but it works well at canceling out fairly constant background noise. There is a switch to turn noise-canceling on/off. I've had bluetooth headsets that were a bit short of my head size, but these adjust very nicely. They are comfortable to wear for a long period. There is an included cable if you don't want to use bluetooth. A nice feature is that if the battery charge is low, you can connect the USB charger and continue to listen. I am happy with the sound quality, but I'm probably a poor judge of audiophile fidelity, haven blow out my ears in my 20s. Build quality seems very good. So far, it appears to be a great buy for the money.

I use these headphones at work to listen to video training tutorials mainly and while traveling to block out any excessive background noise. There is no sound leakage from the headphones.The active noise cancelling button and call buttons are on a separate controller. I wish it was a bit less bulky or have it built into one of the headphones instead. The on/off button for ANC is a bit hard to flip on and off. Most times it requires using my finger nail to slide it to the other side.
