August EP636

These are brilliant. They are not a famous brand (to me anyway) but the comfort, sound and bass beats anything I've experienced before, even on a low volume. The bluetooth connection is instant and the distance they stay connected is massive too. Also, when I keep them on but leave phone downstairs (or up) the connection still stays great between walls, doors, stairs, etc.... But for this price (£36.95) why would I pay hundreds of pounds for famous brands that are great, when this AUGUST EP636 for its comfort, connection, sound quality and price blows them others out the water. Couldn't recommend enough *****

I wear headphones a lot there is a compromise between cost, comfort, portability and sound quality. These are better than expected on all counts. They are not as comfortable for wearing all day as some i have but are fine for a few hours. They are much more comfortable than most of the decent headphones i have tried. They don't' seal round your ears like some so cut out less sound from outside but i prefer that when walking. They don't fold so less portable than my past ones but they are quite tidy so much more portable than many on ear quality headphones. The blue tooth works. I tend to change sound on devise rather than headphones as its easier but nice to have option and useful if devise in bag. The charge lasts much longer than i expected, even after being on for several hours. Sound not bad, i would not class myself an audiophile but i did not get sonos sound system for home cause the sound is not good enough. These headphones obviously do not give the absolute best sound but its better than i expected and gives good sound for lots of different types of music....death metal, rnb, jazz, classical etc. There is enough base for me but there are other headphones that give more base at similar price point. To clarify I found sonos system sacrificed detail in mid range for base i preferred muso sound system instead. These headphones no way compeate with eaither for sound of course but sound is personal so i find it useful in reviews if people give a comparative on what sound they like. I find there headphones are one of the best sets i have at this price point and they are wireless. The sound more than makes up for loss of portability. I have yet to decide if comfort & charge life is good enough to ditch my old wired headphones.

Pros: Very intuitive user interface. Pairing is a breeze. Very good sound quality (pronounced, bumping bass and mid to upper range are quite good as well). Portable and lightweight. Very long battery life. Sleek design. Cons (mainly minor inconveniences): Poor build quality on the upper frame. I sent back a pair of these because I thought that I received a faulty pair with the top frame peeling away and exposing the inside foam/plastic that makes up the interior of the top band of the headphone. I received the replacement set and found that this part also very easily peels away and gets loose on the second pair as well, so it's likely like this for all devices. You can stick it back shut, and there are some weak silicon clasps that sort of wedge themselves shut but in my opinion this shouldn't open at all it should be glued shut. I may even end up supergluing it shut myself. They get uncomfortable if worn for long periods continuously (over 2 hours and you need to take a few minutes break without them on otherwise your upper ear will get sore). But I've heard from friends who have had these that after a week or two they loosen up and become more comfortable to wear for long periods. Can't switch paired devices directly from headphones. If i get up from my computer and want to go for a walk and listen to music from my phone, I need to disconnect the headphones from my computer then reconnect them from my phone. It would be easier if there was a button on the headphones that cycles through paired devices. Overall a good little pair of headphones, they are easily worth the £25.

August EP636 Bluetooth Wireless Stereo NFC Headphones with Microphone - White These are good headphones...excellent for the price. The build is top quality and they feel they'll last for a long time. They stretch to go over your head and you can adjust the length so the pads fit over your years perfectly. Must admit, I prefer headphones that cup around the outside of your ears. These don't. They sit flat on the ears. But they're padded, without being spongy, and there seems to be little sound leak. I've asked people if they can hear the music blaring in my ears, and they say no. The sound - to me - is good. I'm no audiophile and must admit I've never owned a really really expensive set of headphones, but these sound great to me. A big heavy on the bass, but better that than thin and tinny. One thing I was worried about was these things falling off if I wear them in the gym and running. Well, they don't...even when there's sweat around. If you nod your head really really hard, they will come off. But they stay on better than my in-ear phones. I should mention set up....it's easy, especially if your phone - or music player - has NFC. Just tap the two together and it's done. It's no sweat to connect the bluetooth with NFC either. It just worked. And the controls on the right side are workable. They're a bit fiddly and you have to feel around to make sure your finger's on the skip or volume button, but they're perfectly workable when you get used to them. The controls resemble iPod Shuffle controls. All in all, I think these are a good buy.

I don’t recommend buying these, mine broke within two months and the process of getting help from the company has been incredibly inconvenient. Luckily Amazon was very helpful in resolving the issue.

These are really good headphones. I wanted a cheap pair of headphones that were wireless so the cable wouldn't keep getting in the way of my keyboard. I got a white pair and have been using them every day for about a month. They paired seamlessly with my MacBook and reconnect easily each time by holding down the large centre button on the right earpiece. They're well made and produce a good sound (I'm not an audiophile, I just use them to drown out the sound of the office through Spotify). I can use the headphone buttons to play, pause, skip to the next or previous track and control the volume. They work even when the media keys on the MacBook won't (a common issue with Spotify). Areas for possible improvement would be some way of determining the battery level (I just charge them whenever I'm not using them) and a longer charging cable so it's possible to use the headphones as they're charging (it comes with a 50cm cable, a 1m cable would do). If I'm being really picky I'd also say it would be nice that the buttons on the headphones kept their tactile feature (so I can find them when I'm wearing the headphones) but didn't require a full press: when your ear is a few cm away from the buttons, clicking them sounds more like a loud 'thunk'. Highly recommended. Definitely worth the price

Cannot fault the materials nor visual design (they feel like a much more expensive product with the soft rubber inner band and ear pieces). Very solid construction and battery life ran just below stated for me (about 10 hrs using a Galaxy S7). Buttons all had a satisfying click and felt like they would last too. Chrome trimming is very simple but really accentuates the sleek design. 9/10 for design and construction quality. Fit is great (and I have a pretty large head) and I wore these for two hours non-stop and they never felt uncomfortable at any time. The soft materials are really great here. My Fiance has a very small head (definitely smaller than average) and while they were absolutely fine around the house and running, she found them slipping off her head when doing groundwork at the gym (I had originally bought these for her to use in the gym). My only issue is sound. Bass is OK, certainly not going to blow your socks off. Due to the open design of the earpads and lack of sealing you are going to lose performance here, regardless of how good the drivers are, especially in noisy environments (like outside, or a gym). Treble doesn't suffer, but mids are definitely lost a bit from compression over Bluetooth and the drivers/design, but nothing horrible. These are totally serviceable and if you are coming from standard Apple/Other Smartphone OEM's included earphones these are a big upgrade. But if you are coming from using decent earbuds within a similar price range you will be less than impressed.

My purchase was prompted by a recent travel mishap, after dropping one of my ear buds between the seats and landing behind me next to the foot of Mr 'I'm going to sleep all the way from Liverpool to Egypt' I vowed never again, the headphones are brilliant, not big and bulky like some, the sound is great and I'm sure I will have many more happy fights with them.
