The best, cheap alternative for headphones
Darvin

These headphones are one of the greatest alternatives for newer headphones, It's super easy to use and overall great for the 100$ price point. The NC is amazing and also the sound quality. The only bad thing is that is does feal a little cheap because it uses plastic, but since it's plastic it is also less heavy.
Pros
- Great Sound Customization
- Lots of features
- Ease of use
- Comfort
Cons
- Lower build quality

The design is sleek and seamless, combined with the metallic blue. There's barely any sound leakage, the airtight seal of the earpads help. The all-plastic design feels good but the hinges are kind of fragile. The leatherette feels soft yet dense, meaning it probably won't wear out as quickly as really soft padding. I can wear them for several hours on end. The headband is really padded.After a few months they softened up and the earpads became more breathable.It has features that are generally reserved for flagship headphones like wearing detection, adaptive ANC, triggering ambient mode when talking or tapping the left earcup and LDAC.As for the wearing detection, this is the only headphone I know that allows you to calibrate it, and it's necessary when you first use it.The ANC performance is fantastic for headphones under $100, it manages to reduce low-end as effectively as some premium headphones in the market with custom ANC to max, which is insane. It's slightly behind with the rest of the frequency range, but it still manages to drown out 98% of noise with moderate volume levels as advertised. The adaptive ANC can be useful if you're going through different environments or if you are sensitive to in-ear pressure, but in sheer performance the custom max cancels more low-end than adaptive.The battery life is really good for the price point, they last me around a week after charging.The sound quality out of the box is better than expected, it seems like the newer batch actually sounds better and more tamed than the first one which was sent to reviewers.The bass is deep but overpowering on some tracks. With ANC on the bass is less deeper but stronger overall.The midrange is recessed but it's not hollow, though it's kind of noticeable with ANC on.The treble is crisp and inoffensive, but there's a slight distortion with SBC and AAC codecs, which is common in Bluetooth headphones. If you enjoy what you're listening with these, you probably won't notice.After a few months the sound opened up and became more balanced, perhaps due to the foam on top of the drivers becoming softer or thinner, which also explains the increased breathability.Soundstage is decent for $100 headphones, and it improved over the months as well. HearID is a nice feature for those who want a base EQ or want to adjust the sound but don't know how.
Pros
- Decent out-of-the-box sound that improves over time
- Adjustable and adaptive ANC that rivals premium headphones
- Built-in 8-band EQ with 21 presets
- Stylish design that blends in with premium headphones
- Useful features generally found on premium headphones
- Comfortable and lightweight design
Cons
- Hinges are somewhat rattly and fragile
- Wear detection rarely acts up and requires turning on and off or calibration
- Any contact made with the chassis is amplified when worn
