There are lots of bluetooth headphones out there, but few that have NFC capability. NFC makes the initial pairing so much easier, but it also makes using the headphones with multiple devices much easier. Without NFC, you often need to search for which device it was last connected to, disconnect it, then reconnect it to the device you want. With NFC, you simply tap and it switches over, and it can also automatically turn the bluetooth radio on if needed. Tapping again will disconnect, turn off the bluetooth radio (if it was off when connecting).
The bluetooth connection and NFC worked perfectly, paired up instantly and audio streamed without a hitch. Would be nice to have a wired jack, just as an option or if the battery dies.
For the price, I am quite happy with the product so far. These headphones are not going to be audiophile quality, but they sound just fine to me for casual use. The earpads are foam, which let your ears breathe, and they also do not seal out outside noise, which may be a good or bad thing depending on how you want to use these.
My main concern was the durability of the unit, but it seems fine so far. The folding hinge is made of metal, which looks like it will be durable and much better than if it was plastic. There is a ribbon cable at the hinge, but the way it was made, it looks like there is not much stress on it, so hopefully that will hold up well. The hinge when folded does expose the ribbon cable and the internals of the hinge, so I'd be wary of debris getting in there when throwing it in a bag. Wish it would have come with some sort of case or pouch.
I have not tested the battery life. Charging is easy with any standard micro usb charger.
There is a microphone which is embedded in one of the earpieces. I don't intend on using this too much, but I tested it with a call and it works OK. It sounds somewhat like you're speaking on a speakerphone, kind of like you're slightly too far from the mic, but it's not too bad and no one had any problems hearing me speak.
The buttons are a little tight, requiring you to press a little hard to register and they make a bit of click sound, but that is a minor gripe.
So far, so good, will report if anything ends up breaking or going wrong with these. For $35, this was a great deal.

I had a much more expensive pair of bluetooth headphones that had recently decided to stop working. So when I saw these on Amazon for $40, I was intrigued, yet skeptical. I mean, really. How much worse quality and reliability would headphones for less than half the price of the others be? Well, i'm happy to say that I was wrong.I own a pair of the Jabra Sport bluetooth headphones, which are GREAT for when I am active, but not so much when I am on a plane. When traveling, I prefer headphones that completely cover my ears to ensure full sound quality and complete blocking out of nearby noisy passenger or screaming kid. These headphones deliver on both aspects. The music comes thru cleanly and the large buttons on the right headphone make it easy to adjust the volume or skip\rewind\fast forward tracks as desired. They connect very easily to my Ipad 3 and Iphone. Battery life is ok. I can get 5 7 hours of playback out of them before needing to charge.
Now, the not-so-good aspects. The headphones seem a bit on the fragile side. Lighter materials had to be used so that one can safely fold the headphones without damaging the wires within and this can be felt. I am afraid to drop them, as it feels like they could shatter. Also, when surfing thru tracks, there is a 1 second or so delay between the pressing of the forward\backward button and the playing of the song. For example, let's say the next track was the U.S. national anthem. When you press the forward button to move to this song, it will come in at "...an you seeeeeeeeeeee".
All in all, for $40, I can honestly say I am getting my money's worth out of these headphones. Would surely recommend.I loved this bluetooth headset, although it would not pair up with my smart phone I tried it on my husbands phone and it was great.These headphones aren't too bad. They're nice to wear for running and for casual walking. The NFC is clutch and the internal mic works well too. The bass and volume could be better. I just like my music loud and bass full. All in all: Good product for the price.This was purchased for a Christmas present so won't know much about item until after December 25th. My grandson should like.
