Update Dec5,2024:I read my original review and solidly agree with what I wrote, and the primary purpose of having medium sized headphones with 40mm full-size headphones drivers that fit (along with the PG RIFF interface) in a the guitar case I travel with most often, still accomplishes that goal.One of the reasons I zoned in on these were simply the 40mm drivers, my primary guitars are 7string tuned to DropG#, and what I noticed with other headphones (without naming poor performers), is that at the sync moment of particular passages of Two 7 strings, a 5string bass and KickDrum all hitting at the same, with fast passages following, that most headphones simply cannot keep up at and fall apart into all sorts of driver distortions…These headphones are able to keep up for the most part at reasonable playback volumes. How do they compare to my reference headphones for tracking, mixing and production work? I would say that I continue to be surprised by these H30i’s and that they can get to 95% of my reference set for less than 1/20th of the cost.Negatives? The ear pads are very very synthetic vinyl or whatever it is. They are not soft, and if they didn’t have a strong clamping force, they would certainly leak. I will have to get some replacement ear pads with cooling gel at some point…Original review within a couple of weeks:I needed a set of ON-EAR Headphones to use/setup as quickly as possible while traveling AND that would FIT in a specific guitar case along with a PositiveGrid RIFF Interface to use with iPhone or iPad. They also needed to be Inexpensive AND have oversized drivers for their size AND have an Analog 3.5mm input to connect to a headphone port on a iOS Bus-Powered D/A Interface (the RIFF) AND finally, they needed to sound like I'm using full-size (Over-Ear) headphones. Open Guitar case, plug in RIFF to iPhone, plug in headphones and put on, plug in guitar, Open the BiasFX2 App... in less than 30seconds I'm Jamming.So, my expectations were pretty high for a $30 product.These H30i's have massive 40mm drivers (a size that is in Most Large Over-Ear Headphones) and certainly deliver Bass in Bluetooth mode... In fact, using the Soundcore App they can deliver bass well beyond anything reasonable LOL. Using the Analog Wired mode they are surprisingly flat, which I certainly didn't expect at $30 and reproduce all my BiasFX2 guitar tones effortlessly (and almost as accurately as most of my full size Studio Headphones). I did use the app and sound via the BT connection on iPhone. Without any EQ compensation or profiling, they seem to have a spike around 70Hz and strangely around 8Khz, which is likely on purpose based on how people listen to modern music.I noticed some folks didn't like the clamping force, which right out of the box may be a bit annoying, however bending them open definitely reduces some of that and makes them more comfortable.I have Not tested them using the BT+App with guitar-->RIFF--->BT---H30i as I already am connected via a guitar cable and I assume the additional Latency would not be acceptable to my style of playing. I will test it though and add to this review.Cons? at $30 there have to be compromises... lets see what happens over time

These are probably better than Beats, & think they are Beats from first look.

Good sound great battery life and comfortable

I bought a set of these right before Christmas and wanted to wear the for a while before any review. It has been over two months now and I can say that these are the best headphones for the gym or outside work that you can get for the price. Ok, they might not sound like a 300-dollar set of Bose but I will never wear a pair of those headphones to the gym that cost that much. These run about 30 bucks. These on the ear headphones are the best that I have found to suit most all needs. It comes with an app and it includes a small Equalizer (bass, midrange and treble). They do have bass but can get mudded if you increase the bass too much. That is sort of standard with and EQ. I have found that they sound very good for the cost that I paid for them. I have read some reviews talking about ANC. Please note that these are not ANC headphones. But the quality that was put in to build these makes it seem like they are ANC’s. Not much noise gets in even with the sound muted.One issue that I have noted is that if you are over about five feet seven inches tall, they start to hurt the ears a little. I am at five foot seven and they fit me like a glove. Not like buying socks that fit size 6 through size 12. That is a problem. I spend my first two hours at the gym on the treadmill and have never had an issue with them slipping from where I have placed them. The only issue is that the sweat will form on the earpads and inside of the pads. That problem is easily fixed by just placing a wash cloth between the headphones and you ear for about 30 seconds or so. The only fault that I have with them is the forward and back buttons. They do not have a high profile and it makes it hard to find the fast forward or go reverse. Guess I just should practice more with them.The company says that the battery will last about 70 hours. They do last me almost all week and that is not 70 hours at the gym. The reason would be is that I always have them cranked up loud. I am sure that they are not tested at such a loud volume, so that is to be expected.I also bought a pair of beats that were also on sell through amazon and they are now are from the fruit company that sells phones. These Soundcore H30i’s completely blew them away and the fit is much better. I just wish that they had more colors other than the white, black and off red.Thay are built to last and I have an issue with destroying headphones from rough usage. These babies are going strong and no defects have been noted.Conclusion: If you want a great pair of on the ear headphones, look no further than these on the ear headphones. You will not be let down from these.

Meet expectations
