Edifier P841 Comfortable Noise Isolating Over-Ear Headphones with Microphone and Volume Controls - White

Really happy with these. I previously had a pair of Monster on-ears that were very padded but somehow managed to dig into my head both at the top and in the ears. (I have a pretty small head and have to wear headphones on the smallest rung.) These Edifier headphones are SUPER comfortable, I can wear them for a few hours easily with no discomfort, and they do a good job of isolating sounds like my air conditioner. I bought them to block out distractions while I write, and while they are not truly noise cancelling they do wonderfully for that purpose. They can get warm after a long time but it's not hard to take a break for a couple minutes. Sound quality is pretty good, I'm not an audiophile or anything but I'm happy with the sound. I think there is a breaking-in period, because they sound better now than they did when I first got them. When I listen to songs I am used to hearing on the radio, it picks up a lot of subtle musical nuances that I hadn't noticed before, so it's definitely an upgrade to your laptop speakers. I also listen to a lot of classical and it sounds great. As others have noted with the volume control on the mic, it works perfectly on my iPhone but NOT my MacBook. If you try to control volume when plugged into the computer it either goes all the way up or all the way down, so just use your keyboard controls. Otherwise these look great and I'm really happy with my purchase.

I was looking for some middle level headphones to use while working, and these really exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is great in a variety of genres, and while I would not say that they are not completely noise isolating, they definitely dampen the noise around you, creating a comfortable work environment. I work in a social setting and often have to communicate ideas with others so I personally enjoy that I can pick up on if someone directly addresses me.I will say for others the ear cups may be too small. I have tiny ears so they fit me, however I can understand how larger ears might not be quite as comfortable. Same goes for the headband, though that seems stretchy and over the week I've had these they've loosened comfortably, but don't seem to be over-stretching.The main concern I have for these headphones is the thinness of the wire, as I could see it breaking if not maintained properly.Overall, I feel like these headphones were worth the buy for my preferences, and I was impressed by the quality.

I opened the packing and while first checking them out noticed my wife's bose headphones right beside me - in the same white/beige (without a hint of blue ) - and did a compare and contrast. These perform the same - I had my wife put them both on alternating with the same music and she couldn't tell the difference !! The difference I Can tell is you could buy Six (!) pairs of these for the price of the Bose!People have mentioned 'long cord' - and had me a bit worried but - no worries! This is perfect length - plus they included a little cord keeper in case you want to cinch it extra. -add in the control for volume etc on the cord and the comfort level of these cans and this is a winning choice.

The Amazon product description tells you: Easily access volume controls and pause/play tracks compatible with iOS and Android, and I'm sure these headphones will work with those devices however what they didn't tell us is that the product is not compatible with the standard stereo 3.5 mm headphone jack the P841 has a 4pole jack instead of the regular 3 pole stereo jack, so the end result is a terrible distortion and total lack of bass I tried to use it from my Logitech 3 way computer speaker system you know the right speaker has the headphone output jack that was working excellent with my KOSS Porta Pro and Edifier H850 , but not the P 841 so don't buy these unless you're planning to use them with iOS/Android as the guide mentioned I just sent it back to Amazon- thank to the easy online return page; hope this review helped with your decision- too bad that the H850 is not available anymore from Amazon! greetings:zocsy!

I got these for work at the office since I have one particularly LOUD person who feels the need to vocalize every little thought that comes to her head. I'm used to working in silence so this makes going to the office very annoying and unproductive.Volume Control. I may have a defective headset but this is what I experienced. The volume control in the cable was very difficult to use, not at all what I've had with in-line controls. I had to push + or - very hard for a long time (several seconds) before it would do anything. At that point, it would jump all the way to max or min and I couldn't stop it in the middle. Obviously, this isn't useful at all. My other in-line volume adjustment controls require minimal pressure and stop advancing when I stop pressing the button. Not these, they blow through to the brick wall and keep on going.I've returned them as defective.

These are fantastic headphones for the price. I bought them for my wife and tried them out. They are probably the most comfortable headphones I've tried -- and I am a audio technician with many years of recording experience (with a huge head and several dozen headphones over the years). They are not "studio" headphones, but that's not what they are intended for. My wife just needed good sounding (and great-looking) gear for listening to her music. And they needed to be comfortable. They look and feel great, for hours of use.Being an audio tech, I first bought her a few very expensive "studio" headphones, but the flat response is just not enjoyable unless you're an audio freak like me. And my studio headphones are too (intentionally) heavy for hours of play. The P841 is just what she wanted. Nice and lite.These headphones are FULL size and fit over the entire ear, not just on them (well, at least my wife's little ears). Did I mention how comfortable the cushions are? Nice.
