Last word: Incredible for $199.99

Ever since I received my Exos-9 Bluetooth speaker about a year ago, I have been sold on AIWA. From their customer support, to their values as a company, to the products themselves, AIWA is one of the most reputable audio companies on the market today. So, when I began receiving newsletters about the Arc-1 Bluetooth Headphones, I jumped on the opportunity to get a pair for myself.Just a PSA before I get too detailed in this review: If you are considering these headphones, just buy them! Not…

Pros
  • Over-Ear Headphones
Cons
  • The headphones lack any unique or standout features that distinguish them from other Bluetooth headphones in the same price range

Better than I expected, and my expectations were rather high.

I have been on the search for a really good pair of wireless headphones for some time now.I use headphones every day in our Lab, sometimes for hours on end.I also have a better than average familiarity with Audio products, having managed a two Service Centers over the last 20 years that did repair and refurb for Sennheiser, Bose, Pioneer, (and Sony/Aiwa) to name just a few manufacturers. They all make very nice headphones, I've used them for many years.I have purchased products from the…

Pros
  • 7.43 x 8.37 x 2.25 inches
Cons
  • The price point is relatively expensive compared to similar quality headphones on the market.

Believe the hype. AIWA has made exceptionally good headphones!

I work in an open office environment and I hate it. I got sick of using ear buds that make my ears hurt after a couple hours and wanted to go back to over ear headphones. In the past I've had all kinds of brands and types of headphones. My favorite have always been V-Moda. I've had the on ear XS headphones and the M100 over ear headphones. The M100s are pure sonic delight. For an office setting, I wanted a bluetooth solution for ease of use and mobility. It boiled down to a choice between more…

Pros
  • 4001
Cons
  • The controls on the headphones can be confusing and difficult to navigate.

Great quality at an even better price

It's true. These headphones are fantastic. And for the price, they're stupid. I'm sitting here listening to DeadMau5 "Avaritia" and it's blowing my mind how good these sound. Currently I'm streaming AAC bluetooth from an iPhoneX using the Walmart Music HD app which can send up to 24-bit / 44.1 kHZ. I can't comment on the aptX as I don't have any devices that tuse that codec. But from what I have read AAC is considered on par and even better in some ways than atpX. I can't even tell the signal…

Pros
  • 9 ounces
Cons
  • No noise-canceling feature, which can be a deal breaker for those who are looking for complete immersion in their music.

I really liked these but ultimately chose to return them

I echo most of the other reviews about the great sound quality, excellent battery life, immensely useful battery indicator, and comfortable fit.However, I've run into multiple issues:1. Terrible Bluetooth range. As a basis for comparison, I have a $25 pair of headphones that have about twice the effective range connected to the same laptop. The Aiwa start flaking out when I go into he next room.----------------Update----------------I followed the following instructions from Aiwa support. That…

  • Pairing the headphones with your device can be hit or miss, and take longer than expected.
