Over Ear Bluetooth Headphones – Bluetooth 5.3, 70 Hour Listening Time

These over ear Bluetooth headphones are a full-size wireless headset with padded cups that sit around the ear and an adjustable headband. The supplier lists Bluetooth 5.3, a 600mAh battery with 70 hours of listening at 70 percent volume, Type-C charging and a cable for wired use. They come in beige and grey. Easy Life Markets sells them as one headset with two cables.

Earbuds are convenient, but for a long flight, a day of video calls or an evening of music, full-size headphones are easier to live with. Large cushions spread the pressure, nothing sits inside the ear canal, and a bigger battery means charging once a week and not once a day.

A Straight Answer on Noise Cancelling

The supplier's original title called these "noise canceling". The specification that comes with them does not list active noise cancellation, a noise reduction depth, or a transparency mode, and none of the pictures we have seen describes one. Closed cups that surround the ear do block a fair amount of outside sound on their own, which is called passive isolation, and that may be all the title meant. We cannot confirm an active system, so we have not put the claim in our title. If active noise cancelling is the reason you are buying, ask us first.

About the Battery Figure

Seventy hours is the supplier's number, measured at 70 percent volume. Louder listening shortens it, and so does a cold room. Even at half that figure you would get through a working week of commuting on one charge. A full charge takes about two hours through the Type-C port, using the short cable supplied and any USB charger or computer port.

Wireless or Wired

Most of the time you will use Bluetooth. The second cable in the box is for the times you cannot: an aircraft seat socket, a games controller, a keyboard or mixer, or a laptop with Bluetooth switched off. It runs from the Type-C port on the headphones to a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack. If your phone has no headphone jack, you would need the phone maker's own adapter as well.

Fit and Adjustment

The supplier's pictures show a headband that slides to lengthen on each side and cups that swivel on a metal pivot, so the cushions can sit flat against the head whatever its shape. To set them up:

Extend both sides of the headband by the same amount until the cups cover your ears fully.
Let the cups pivot to follow the angle of your head.
Check that the cushions seal all the way round. Hair, glasses arms and earrings can break the seal and thin out the bass.

The supplier's drawing shows the buttons and the port together on one cup, so there is nothing to find on the other side.

Pairing

The supplier gives no step-by-step instructions, so these are the general steps for a Bluetooth headset. The leaflet in your box takes priority if it differs.

Charge the headphones before first use.
Press and hold the power button until the indicator flashes to show pairing mode.
Open Bluetooth settings on your phone, tablet or computer and choose the headphones from the list.
Next time, switching them on should reconnect to the last device.

If the Sound Cuts Out

Bluetooth dropouts are nearly always about distance or interference and not a fault in the headset. Keep the phone within a few metres and on your person, move away from a busy Wi-Fi router or microwave oven, and remove old pairings from devices you no longer use so the headphones are not trying to reconnect to them.

Care

Wipe the cushions with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let them dry. Skin oils are what age ear pads.
Do not leave them in a hot car or in direct sun.
Store them flat or on a stand, not crushed at the bottom of a bag.
If they will not be used for a few months, charge them to about half first.
