Kinivo BTH240 Bluetooth Headphones (Black, On-Ear, Wireless Music, Hands-Free Calling, Built-in Mic, Foldable, Memory Form Earpads, Travel Bag)

Bought to use as general-purpose laptop headphones at home. Good over-ear neckband headphones are difficult to find these days, and these haven't disappointed.Switching from wired headphones, the Bluetooth has been a revelation. Some reviews have complained about the lack of signal integrity, but I was able to wear them into another room without any interruption. No more snagged wires!I've had no issues at all with the battery so far. Out of the box, I tried to use them while charging, which they didn't like, but as long as they're either being used or charged, no problems. It claims to be able to last all day and, while I wouldn't wear/use them all day, they've been able to go for several days without charging. I turn them off when I'm not wearing them, which definitely helps!I love that they fold. Easy to stack away overnight, and they come with a velvet-style carry bag which makes them easy to carry in a bag.I'm no audiophile - I find the sound quality OK. Not super-high fidelity, but you wouldn't expect it at this price point and good enough is good enough. The comfort is similar to other over-ear headphones I've used: good, but I wouldn't want to wear them all day.Overall an excellent product, particularly given the price range.

I wanted cordless headphones but being conscious of price, opted for the Kinivo BTH240 Bluetooth headphones in white.The pros:- the headphones connect pretty easily to my iPhone- they are lightweight but stay securely on, even when I am running- the sound quality is decent. It's not amazing but over bluetooth, and considering I mostly listen to podcasts, it does an absolutely fine job- the battery lasts quite a while, and I use them constantly- I can leave my phone on charge and go about 4/5 metres away (or through 1 thin wall) and have no loss - basically so long as you are in the same room, or just outside the door of the room; it's fineThe cons:- Noise cancellation is non-existent (Though I didn't expect any) so this means that when walking along a busy street, the traffic can drown out what I'm listening to. If you're at home, in the gym, on a quiet street; no problem, but if you are going to listen while commuting in heavy traffic, or some other loud environment, you will have to give up listening until you're in a quieter spot- Annoyingly, when listening on the headphones, and a call comes in, the call is sometimes routed to the phone, sometimes to the headphones, necessitating that I spend the first few seconds of every call checking if I can be heard, and fixing the source on the phone- As with probably a lot (or all?) bluetooth headphones, if I am watching a video on my phone, the lag between the image and the sound can be distractingOverall; I am very pleased with this product and I would certainly recommend it to anyone seeking a budget option for cordless earphones. If you have some more money to spend, and high quality audio is a priority for you, maybe look elsewhere but for the average user, these headphones certainly do the job.

I really hate to give this product a 1-star review, but I feel it would be dishonest to do otherwise. I used the previous Kinivo BTH220 over 2 years straight, every day, without a hitch until the battery died out on me. I was going to buy a new pair, but it was discontinued and so I ordered this model. Big mistake.The single biggest issue I have with this headphone is the following behavior: once I turn the headphones on and they connect with my phone, there is no sound coming from videos or music. When I go to the bluetooth settings, the connection displays the "No media"-sign. Then I have to disconnect and re-connect, and hopefully it starts working again. This happens almost every single time I connect the headphones. It drives me nuts.Since day one I've had a whole host of connectivity issues: doesn't always pair on the first try, can't keep a steady signal when I have the phone in my front pocket and turn my head, doesn't play audio ("No media") and the list goes on. At first I thought the issue was with my phone, but after trying it out on three different ones, I've ruled that out. I contacted the seller "BlueRigger" who told me to reset the headphones. I reset them and they worked better for about a month, after which the headphones started to act out in the same way as before. I received a replacement headset, which again worked fine for a few weeks but then started to have similar connectivity issues. I have no problems with other bluetooth audio devices.I'm saddened by the quality of this product because I REALLY want to like it. In all other ways it's superior to the old 220-model: audio quality is much better, it looks more stylish, the blue LED is less bright, revised USB charger port.I have to give props to BlueRigger for their customer service: fast response and fast delivery after my second email.
