Review on Elgin Headphones Cancelling Waterproof Protection by James Cruz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very impressive noise cancellation

Like many people, I've always used old headphones as "ear protection" when working in the shop and mowing the lawn. I just assumed they couldn't be that different, but damn, I was wrong. When my last pair of headphones was getting dusty I saw these and thought I'd give it a try. I've been using it for a week now and I'm not thrilled. I couldn't believe how much more noise these headphones could handle compared to what I was using. The sound quality is fantastic, the bass is impressive without being overwhelming. Mids and highs are bright and clear. The battery life is equally impressive. I use them at least an hour or two a day and have yet to give them a second full charge. I was a bit worried about how comfortable they would be and really appreciated the different sizes and material options for the ear tips. Ultimately, I have found that silicone tips are the most comfortable for me. Some points that I think could be improved are minor, but they're still there. It seems to me that the time I have to press and hold to turn the device on or off is too long. The voice prompts are also a bit odd to me, I can't figure out why, but something about it sounds a bit odd. Overall I'm really impressed with these headphones, I'm very happy with my purchase.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Non-automatic
