Monoprice Bluetooth Headphones with Active Noise Cancelling, 20H Playback/Talk Time, with The AAC, SBC, Qualcomm aptX, and Qualcomm aptX Low Latency Audio codecs,Black

I had a predecessor to this headset and used it for 4 years during the pandemic. I used it up. This headset is a step up and at the same price I originally paid. It fits perfectly. The ear pieces keep almost all noise out themselves. They sound great and the mic is perfect for the virtual meetings I do every day. It's sturdy and flexible, so it goes in my travel bag without issue.I have a Bose headset with better audio for when I want to listen to music. This is just the perfect every day work, home and travel headset for everything else. Noise cancelling works as advertised. It connects to all my bluetooth devices. It does everything needed. I highly recommend it.Update July 2023. I had a problem synching the bluetooth to one of my other tech items. I sent support at 10 am. at 1 PM support called me and helped me resolve the issue. What great service for an item at this price. They were courteous and did an excellent job explaining what was happening. This is definitely a company I'm coming back to for more.

Just started using these, but as there are no reviews, I figured I'd give my first impressions, as these have no reviews yet.Based on the part number, these are also known as the "Monoprice SYNC-ANC Bluetooth Headphones" (Shows up as "MP3251" in Bluetooth devices list)And, I tested and they DO in fact support Apt-X! The drivers themselves are by no means amazing, but they're good enough, and the better compression means they still sound pretty good overall, and with low latency.I've tested SBC and the AAC codec, and all three seen to work.The controls are a little weird, with a larger than normal spacing between volume +/-.and the choice of a power switch is a bit odd, it may seem like a positive! ( And easy way to turn them on/off!)But in fact, it's a pretty large negative, not just because of muscle memory, but because the headphones software is not designed for it. Most BT heapones have a 'multi-function' button for power on/off pause and play. These have a 'multifunction' button, and the on/off function is removed. this may make turning the headphones on 'seem' more convent, but it's one more control to remember, it's in an odd spot, and when the headphones auto-power off, it means you need to toggle the switch TWICE (off, then on) to turn them back on, so it becomes more work in the long run. (Why can't it be a 'hard cut-off switch', with the multi-function button still working to wake them from sleep? then you could choose to use them as normal BT headphones, or using the switch)As for noise-canceling, it's about that you'd expect with sub-$60 headphones. And it only cuts out low constant drowning noises, so like an AC unit a few feet away, or a dryer, etc. it won't cut out people, background conversations, or nearby appliances. As for the multi-point Bluetooth. (dual pairing) it's supported, but not covered in the manual at all, But in short, pair device 1 (phone) disconnect it, then manually pair device 2 (like a Nintendo Switch) and re-connect the phone, and both will be connected to the headphones at the same time! But this is the 'simplified' version of multipoint. So basically ONLY one device can be used for audio, and the other is exclusively for calls. If your phone rings, you'll hear the ring and be able to answer using just the headphones, but music and all other app data from your phone will be blocked until you disconnect/turn off the 'main' Bluetooth device.Also, they went with micro usb on this unit (for some reason), and it includes an aux cable.---What's keeping this from a 5/5 stars?- Micro usb- Sub par (but expected) ANC-Instructions, and advertisement for multipoint, not clear enough-weird controls/layout. (Power switch is annoying)-Sound quality could be betterBut overall, these are still good for the price, especially with the low audio latency!

keeps connecting and disconnecting from my iphone 14 while listening to music or playing games, turns off and on every 20 to 30 mins

I purchased some Monoprice Headphones (143251) to replace my old Panasonic RF Headphones (BTW great quality headphones... just got old and ear cups were coming off).I paired the headphones with my Samsung TV and the delay was awful... almost a 2 second delay.I paired the headphones with my Onkyo AVR and the delay was a little better, but still unusable.I paired the headphones with the Monoprice Premium Bluetooth 5 Transmitter & Receiver and oh glory days.... an almost imperceptible delay. I would not even have know there was a delay if I didn't have the AVR volume up enough to hear over the headphones. I'm no pro but I would say less than 100ms of delay. I believe the matching aptX codecs make this a great duo.I did have 1 issue trying to get the headphones and transmitter to pair. Since I had paired the headphones with the TV before, the pairing mode would always try the TV first... even after doing a "reset" on the headphones. I had to move the headphones and transmitter to another part of the house to get them to pair. Once paired, no issues whatsoever.I highly recommend this duo for the casual listener.

I’m a Monoprice fan. I have their soundbars, surround speakers and more in my house. These are my first headphones from them. The sound quality is what I would expect for the price. The ANC works, but adds a little bit of static. Not as good as my AirPod Pro ANC, but will work. Not my everyday listeners, but need for a long flight and don’t want buds in my ears the whole time. Also love the ability to plug in to a headphone jack too.

So far they work great

These are pretty decent for the price. The construction, materials, and comfort are a good value. I didn’t keep them because I didn’t care for the sound very much and I do not care to have a micro usb connection for them. I use headphones in two separate places and have things set for type C and Lightning. I do not see where the description indicates that they use micro and was confident they’d be too new for that. I say this to convey that it is in fact not a big issue for everyone. I returned them but would recommend to the right person. These are not very light as you may imagine. Overall decent budget headphones.

I bought these to use on my Nokta double score metal detector, vs $110 for the Nokta version. They are low latency and pair perfectly with the metal detector. I would assume they will work on the legend, plus just about anybody elses metal detector that needs APTX low latency headphones. Using these at the beach, the noise cancellation makes a huge difference. I was very surprised at how effective it is. Headphones seem to be well made, a bit loose on my head, but not too bad
