LC-dolida Sleep Headphones Bluetooth Music Wireless Band Headphones with Thin HD Stereo Speakers Perfect for Side Sleepers, Sport, Yoga, Travel...

Since i listen to audioboos on both my ipod classic and phone, my headphones must be comfortable. I can't wear earbuds for very long, so that limits my choices. I will fall asleep re-listening to some audiobooks and as a side sleeper, the headphones must be thin and comfortable. Over 2 years since I first got these and just lost the left ear (it's always the left for me). My new one, same brand and color, arrives today so I took out the guts. I knew the wires weren't as supple as when new, and found a crack in the wire for the left ear. No surprise. The surprise is how long these lasted with lots of use. I get the bonus of protecting my long hair from my cpap mask. The headgear likes to grab my hair. Wearing a cpap mask over the headphones probably didn't help the headphones. I guess now I have a headband to wear at night if not listening to something.

First I want to say how super impressed I am with the sound quality of these headphones... Wow how did all of that sound get in there? The thing is, I currently work as an Audio Recording technician/engineer for streaming videos of musicians and public speakers. So I have a pretty good idea of how things should sound and these far exceeded my expectations especially at this price. I really enjoy listening to music such as The Moody Blues on these (good definition and the drums sound fantastic). Of course you wouldn't use these for professional audio work, but for casual listening they are wonderful. The headband is great too. When covid happened I stopped going to the barber. I've never let my hair grow this long before but decided that I like it this way. However I have also discovered that long hair can be difficult to manage. I figured that a headband could help with that and looked for some. I was disappointed by what I was finding, didn't really like the look or the fit of what I was finding elsewhere. But I love this, I got the Starry version and really like how it looks - of course style is a very personal choice the Stars work great for me but they have many other styles to choose from. It is also very comfortable. So even if it did not have bluetooth I would still consider getting it just for the headband. They do work as a Sleep Mask.... which is to say that you can pull it down over your eyes to block out light. I sometimes find myself sleeping on couches and stray light can be a problem. These do a pretty good job of blocking that light. So that works pretty well and then I can put on some soothing tunes for while I sleep. Also I should point out that I have a big head (in terms of hat size, not ego ) and the stretchy fabric works fine. I am guessing that this will fit just about any adult sized head. Sound Leakage is pretty much non-existent, which given their open design is surprising. When I am listening to music other people in the same room tell me that they can't hear it. so that is great! I won't disturb others with my music choices (even in the library). Be aware that these do not provide sound isolation, in a noisy environment they are difficult or impossible to hear. On the other hand it means that you can have a conversation with someone without taking these off. Also these do not get super loud -- which is a good thing -- but many people demand that their music be super loud which damages their hearing which then forces them to increase the volume in a vicious cycle. if you are one of those people you will not be happy with these, they won't be loud enough for you. but for people with normal hearing these are plenty loud enough. Another aspect of this design is that because the speakers are open and not sealed you ears stay a lot more comfortable. I have worn this all day in 90F heat and been comfortable, something that is quite unlikely to be possible with sound isolating (sealed) headphones. So the design is a trade-off between noise isolation and comfort. For most purposes this design is a good choice. Battery Life is adequate... everything is a trade-off especially when it comes to batteries, which are heavy and bulky. I do wish this battery was about double it's capacity but that would have made these heavier and their current weight is good, would not really want to add to that. So this is probably as good as it can get. I timed it and I get about 12 to 14 hours on a full charge. I have not timed how long it takes to charge them but it's in the ball park of a couple of hours, perhaps less. Bluetooth follies..... I have not attempted to use these with a cell phone so can't comment on that... apparently there is a builtin microphone? I actually bought these on a lark... I was having a conversation with someone at work about the problems of using Bluetooth headphones in a recording studio. getting rid of the cord would be great but there are multiple issues with Bluetooth, which I won't go into here. But it got me curious to see what the current state of the art was. The last time I attempted to use Bluetooth for anything was about 6 years ago and it was an abysmal failure. Well 6 years is a long time in the fast moving tech world so I figured it was worth another attempt. Found these and the price was excellent. Wasn't expecting much but was happily blown away with the results ... mostly.... I tried to hook these up to a debian linux laptop, which proved impossible. fact is that linux is great for many things but it sucks at doing Bluetooth. So then I tried an Android Tablet and connecting them was flawless and effortless. Android is actually built on top of a version of linux... so weirdly the tablet version works and the laptop version does not. My new favorite thing to do is to put my tablet in a backpack and go for a walk. It is very enjoyable to be able to listen to music as I stroll. The thing is though that as I walk around I find that there are places where these simpl...
