Review on Bang &Amp Headphones and Over-Ear Headphones by Hassan Tomlinson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

All this time I've been waiting for disappointment

Where to start. deal breaker? In the last 2 minutes of playing Warzone these portals went offline and I was unable to contact my squad. I'm sitting 5 feet from the Xbox Series X in a straight line. That was the last straw. What I didn't like: Connection issues, lots of squeaky static noises about 3 times per game session, sometimes losing connection for 10 seconds at a time. The controls worked, but you had to take the time to really get a feel for where you were in the headphones and gently swipe your finger over the touch controls. It's awful in a clutch game moment when you need to hear more and don't have time to reach out and fiddle with your headphones for a few seconds. Also, if you mute the mic on the Xbox sound to confirm if the sound is on or off, it's fine and both sounds are either very similar or the same. So I don't know if I'm muted or not. Basic things B&O application. I have a Note 20 Ultra and if I want the app to connect to my headphones I had to activate my location! What the hell is that!? More control issues. My in-ear headphones have more Bluetooth audio control than these in-ear headphones. If you want it to be XBOX/BLUETOOTH headphones, make them like this. Don't half bake every use case and call it a good one. For $550. Pass me the track skip controls on the earcups. Build Quality: One thing everyone admires. Yes, they are good, BUTTTT. They seemed fragile and I was afraid of scratching the shiny metal plates of the cups or scratching the skin with my fingernails. They look good now, but I guarantee they'll be beaten to hell in a year. My jaw hurts. That extra gripping section on the bottom of the hearing cup pressed into my jaw, and even after I adjusted the top strap to loosen the fit, they still hurt. I waited two months to be disappointed. I'm sending them back today.
