These are really great headphones!

There's a bit of a learning curve if you want to use all of the functions this headphone provides, but it is an easy learning curve. The sound is great. No question. Even at the lowest volume levels, the bass response is great! That's impressive sound, and the great bass response carries through to ALL listening levels. The padding and earcups are really superior, with a gentle, soft fit. I use them to go to sleep watching/listening to selected movies that put me to sleep. If you're a side sleeper like me, make sure you fit the top and bottom of your ear fully into the ear cup for the best comfort. I got the tose gold version, and it looks spectacular! Not a black blob, it dresses up your home audio system with it's clean look and good colors. I haven't learned all of it's functions, but I can pause/resume, skip ahead/back and control the ANC. The ANC is indeed an active noise cancelling function, and it does a great job of eliminating background noise. I really value the ANC. It makes drifting off to sleep SO much easier! If you like, you can use the transparency mode of ANC. I don't. To me it seems odd to turn on ANC, then defeat the ANC deliberately. I didn't see much if any difference between ANC off and ANC Transparency. I used to fly full time in my job, way back when noise cancelling headphones were $500 or more, meaning Bose headphones. These headphones do as good a job of noise cancelling as my venerable Bose headphones. I'm impressed! These headphones come with a very nice padded carrying pouch, a charging USB cord and a stereo headphone cable for when you can't or don't want to use Bluetooth. The control buttons are conveniently located. 3 buttons on the front side of the right headphone controll all functions except ANC. 1 button on the back side controls ANC - a good thing! It keeps you from changing the ANC by mistake as you operate the invisible controls for other functions. Invisible? Yes, if you're wearing the headphones! It is easy to learn how to use the controls once you have the habit of using them. The battery life claims are backed up by even better life than claimed. I get 5 or 6 nights (all night) use between charges. These headphones are well made. Definitely a great purchase!

TL;DR: Sweat proof, good sound, dampens external noise, pillowy comfort

I love Zwift. Zealous new convert, yep. Tried the the H2O Audio RIPT Zwift headphone collaboration. Loved the colors, but I shorted out the left earpiece 42.5 minutes into their first ride, then did the same to the replacement pair in 52 minutes. Amazing customer service, but apparently my body repels that which is too fancy. So, got these, and: Pros: Cost less than my Sony WH1000X4 (or something like that) and my 3M noise blockers. Pillowy soft headband and ear cups. Become virtually invisible to me shortly after putting on. Similar feel to Sony (buttery soft) and fit nicely over my sensitive ears. Good sound. Dampens external noise (three fans, AC, Zwift cheering NPCs, wheezing & cursing), but I can still hear the phone ring when pizza delivery arrives. Sony has touch activated earpieces. Great, so I usually accidentally turn on a feature I don’t use or want just by repositioning them or stretching, or my cat’s warm beans do it for me. These headphones do not have that feature. Good news for those of us ham-fisting our way through the day. Buttons only, and they work just fine. 3M changes my listening volume to an ear-bleed level when I pause or change movies/Fire stick apps. Even without full external noise muting. Ouch. These headphones just hold the volume I set and keep on going. Pause, change, it’s delightful. Pairs easily and quickly. 3M yells at me in my ear when it’s on/off/about to shut off because who would still be watching a movie after two hours/muting. These headphones have a gentle announcer that also stays at a reasonable volume. The ear cups fold out which is nice since I hang them to dry them and the ear pieces don’t hide moist spots being curled into the headband. I like the white. It matches my Zwift Ride, just nice. Simple design. Honestly, no complaints. They’ve done wonderfully during 90 minute rides (I’m usually saturated in 20 minutes. Yeah, I love winter!) They look good, charge well, sound great, and leave neither sore spots (cauliflower ears anyone?) nor hot spots (my ear buds serve only to guide sweat into my ear canal). Cons: Don’t fit over/under my helmet for IRL biking. I’d like some color combos, like white headband with blue ear cups. A touch of spice!

Great headphones.

These are pretty good headphones, for the price they are excellent. I would say the audio quality is 7/10 compared to really high end headphones, but as long as your aren't an audiophile these will probably be perfectly satisfying. I wanted these because i have been on the phone a lot and earbuds where starting to hurt my ears. These have active noise cancelling as well as awareness mode, where it uses the microphones to funnel in ambient sounds so you can hear what's going on around you. These features aren't perfect by any means though. The noise cancelling is decent and very noticeable. They will make life much more bearable if you're on an aircraft sitting by the wings, the engine noise will be far quieter, but still there. If the ambient noise is minute, they will totally be cancelled out. The awareness mode works, but I often wish i could control the volume of the piped in sounds, I often wish i could make them louder. It is noticeable that you can hear whats around you, but its not amazing. For example if you are listening to music, you'll want it very quiet if you want to be able to hear things around you in detail, like if you're at the airport and you want to clearly hear announcements. The ear cups are kind of small for over the ear headphones, but not uncomfortable. I would say they are just big enough for my ears. These are comfy to wear for extended periods of time and the battery life is lovely. Really spoiling if you are coming from earbuds that need to be recharged in the case. These claim a run time of about 36 - 40 hours. It seems accurate, I have run them for days without charging. Sound quality is good as I said, there are a couple built in EQ presets. Really you get no EQ, a little extra bass and a lot of extra bass. I prefer the little extra bass setting. Overall for the cost, these are a great value. I would purchase again.

THE best ANC Active Noice Canceling headphones with 3 different SOUND modes, EVER.

Since I began walking miles and sleep with headphones, or simply wear around the clock, with EXCELLENT Bluetooth performance, these are the BEST I own! My phone can be in the kitchen, while I go to mailbox, and I can still hear, even though I'm outside the house! That's a great Bluetooth range! There were no issues pairing headphones to my phone. Admittedly, I found ads for these on YouTube, and later saw them on Amazon. I first bought the White/Rosegold, and despite they have a loooooooong battery life play time, I *had* the have another pair. You know, just in case, because I wear non-stop! I slept with them over 2 months in Europe, and they are still going strong. Raycon ANC headphones simply rock, and they are easy to use, very straightforward and not complicated. Whether you're in Awareness mode, or have tuned everyone out in ANC mode, you can choose from 'Balanced Sound , 'Base Sound' or 'Pure Sound', giving you option other headphones in same price range don't even offer. They fit snug over your head and don't "fall off" like some models do. While you can get "good headphones" for $25-50, these are MUCH cheaper than Beats or Bose, and spending just a little extra, you'll see you made a GREAT choice for a lot less! *I even got the fitness model as well, that's how good Raycon makes their products!
