Psyc Wave S1 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Microphone

I have only just received this set - so too soon to provide use experience - but I would make the following comments based upon my ownership of a previous model also called the Wave X1 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/X1-Bluetooth-Headphone-Built--Microphone/dp/B00NZ99FPY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1474461199&sr=8-5&keywords=psycThat was an excellent headset - I only used it at the gym (and very occasional travel use - I have Bose noise cancelling ones for that usually) and the audio quality was superb for that type of use. They effectively blocked out the muzak piped into the gym (at too high levels and not to my liking) and provided a good fit and stable positioning while engaged in vigorous workouts. My 'in ear' headset doesn't do that and causes me to have to play music much louder than is probably good for me to try to drown out the muzak. The battery life was good - I typically go to the gym for between 60 and 90 minutes each time and only needed to recharge them after about 6-8 visits. Controls were easy to use on the right earpiece, while wearing them, once you get to know the position of the buttons.I only bought these headphones this week as the headband on one side of the original pair broke this week. Don't know why or how, I folded them up, put them in my gym bag and when I took them out the speaker cup was hanging off by two very thin wires. I tried to fix it but it was a fiddly job and I am not convinced that even if I'd got all the bits back into the right place that the repair would last for long - and for £18.99 to buy new ones, well, life is to short to worry. :-) I have owned the original ones for over a year, so I figure I've had good enough use. Though would be nice if they could improve the headband robustness, perhaps.This new model is a little different - they look bigger on my head than the original set, but not ridiculously so - one doesn't look like a Cyberman wearing them... :-) I charged them when I opened the box and inside an hour they are fully charged. Not sure if they came with partial charge.I'll post a comment in a few days as to whether the audio performance is equal to or better than the original pair - just trying them with nothing playing through them, they appear to insulate external noise even better than the original set. I agree with the comments others have made about the quality of packaging and the 'feel' of the headphones - they appear to be a quality product at very good price points. So based on my original experience and initial impressions of these replacements, I'd recommend them highly.UPDATE - February 2018 - I failed to post an earlier update on these as I said I would, But only because I forgot. I have been using them several times a week, every week at the gym (kept in my gym bag so not for other purposes). They do a great job of blocking ambient music over the PA system in the gym (effectively shutting it out) and cope well with movement and sweat - I wipe the cups after workout and occasionally during. I've noticed occasionally that one cup doesn't have the original clarity it did, but that is possibly due to the use it gets and it's sporadic. I ordered a new set to ensure that I have continuity if the original ones fail (at the price who cares?) and the first delivery had a DOA - the charge light wouldn't turn off and it wouldn't power on.Returned to Amazon and ordered another pair the same day. Just arrived and they are great. Exceptionally good sound quality for a cheap headset. Clear, deep bass. Lovely sound. I've got Bose, Sony and other headphones for different purposes/uses - and these compare very favourably. Upgraded my review to 5 Stars. Really very good product!

These are not expensive as bluetooth headphones go, so I was prepared for some compromises - however, I was very pleased with them in every respect so far. As others have commented, the default sound response isn't perfect, but ten seconds playing with the equaliser brought the response range to where I want it, so no problem there.Pairing with my android phone took about 30 seconds, and was very easy - worked first time and hasn't dropped out at all.The controls are not necessarily the most intuitive, but they do work as stated.Slightly more comprehensive instructions would have been nice - not that they're not adequate and accurate, but they are a little terse, and clearly a (not perfect) translation.Battery life has been fine, and the over-earness works well to block out external sounds. They're quite comfortable - wearing them for a couple of hours at a time is no problem.The folding aspect helps them fit into my bag nicely. The hinges seem reasonably robust - will have to see how they hold up to the rigours of travel.The mic is not perfect for phone calls - a little quiet and muffled - but does seem to work.Using the remote controls takes a few tries to figure out - but again, work exactly as advertised once you figure them out.Thus far, extremely happy with them.UPDATE July 2016Having used these headphones for the past 18 months, I've been very happy with them, and not experienced significant problems. The sizing band resistance seems to get a bit looser over time, but it's not really a problem. Battery life is still very good. The mic isn't really usable as, being on the right ear, you have to shout to be heard. Ahh well.My only real problem is, I appear to have left my set on the train, and they are thus lost. And so I have had to come and buy a new pair.I hope the new ones work as well as the old ones.

They were great quality for a few months and then one day they just stopped working. Up to that point the sound and functionality were brilliant. They're comfortable. Simple to operate. Even look great.I get what you pay for as they are quite cheap.Anyway, they turned on and then immediately turned back off again even after being charged for over an hour. I think this might have something to do with a rattling sound in the left ear piece.Also the screws to open up the headphones are blocked by the ear pads. And the aux port came loose when I tried to plug in a cable after the Bluetooth broke.Good value but after several months of regular use they are no more.
