Great and comfortable pair of headphones!
By no means am I an audiophile, but I feel I can still appreciate the sound of some good 'phones.
The NVX's are extremely comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time and with eyeglasses (I'm an all-day wearing of my specs so this was important!). My ears never feel sweaty or like my skull is weighed down while they're on. They're actually a pleasure to wear!
They feel sturdy so far, but I'm not rough on any of my possessions so I can't speak for how well they'll stand up to drops and such. They're bulky though and not exactly the greatest things to wear around in public. The XPTs are large and noticeable from far off, but if you're okay with that these babies are more than worth that small shortcoming.
As far as sound goes, they seem very balanced to me. No single tone seems to outshine the other at any point; the bass is warm but not loud, vocals shine but aren't overpowering, and you can definitely hear every instrument in a song without any of them feeling muddied or muffled by another. The bass is clear in rap songs where it's needed and invisible in songs where it's not, which is another huge point for them. In all I love these headphones and feel like I couldn't have made a better choice in buying them.

Great Headphones
These headphones are incredibly neutral, balanced, easy to drive and the best headphones for $100 I think I've ever used and I have experienced many high end $500+ headphones as well as $100 headphones

Performance vs price this is a great value. Excellent range. Very comfortable. L/R plugs - one is all black the other has a gray stripe. Gray goes on the right (not stated in the manual.)

Excellent Studio Headphones
These headphones are flat out amazing. They firmly, yet comfortably, cup your ears so you are isolated in the experience. They are soft and will not make your ears over heat. The large 42mm neodymium drivers deliver the 10hz-26khz sound and expose parts of songs I had never heard before. I thoroughly enjoy my music, or I can really work in these to deliver an accurate mix to a client in whatever environment I am mixing in. With the warranty and all the extras they come with you would really be doing yourself a disservice to not at least take a listen. I'm buying a second set.

A hard to beat buy
Simply put the NVX XPT100 are, in my opinion, the headphone to purchase in the ~$100 range. They provide a sound that's compared to headphones 3 times it's price while severely outclassing every closed headphone in it's price range, again in my opinion. As a complete package the XPT100 are astonishing headphones, the inclusion of angled pads and a second set of cables is icing on the cake.
If you have any concerns about the quality of these, please drop them at the door and order a pair if you want a balanced closed headphone at an excellent price.

Very Comfortable Cushion
Very soft and very comfortable cushion. It gives no pain/stress in my ears. What I don't like about this headphone is the build, the headband is so flexible.

Best reference headphones under $150. Period.
These make the legendary-status Creative Aurvana Live! ($60 to $80) sound bad. That said, there is no headphone currently near this price that will deliver the same neutrality, accuracy, control, or comfort that the XPT100s do.
I could do an extensive comparison between these and the other sets of headphones I own (CAL!, ATH-M50, Panasonic HTF600, Marley EM-JH020-MI, I could go on), but I won't because there is simply nothing to compare. These win in every aspect except for portability. The cheapest headphone that compares to the NVX XPT100 is the $170 Sennheiser HD25-II 1.
If you are looking for at-home listening cans, buy these now. You needn't spend any more time reading reviews, finding comparisons, or doing any other kind of research.

Very Comfortable and Good Sound Quality
I've been using in-ear headphones for a long time and I wasn't sure about over-ear headphones. But with XPT100 you'll get a great sound for the money and it's so comfortable you'll want to keep them on your ears even when you're not listening.

Great headphones , good construction and terrific sound. nvx did not let me down on this product.I am extremely pleased with this product and would recommend these to friends and family.These are by far the most comfortable headphones I have ever used.I got these in a package deal with the nvx earbuds and while I was unimpressed with the earbuds the headphones made it all good for me.

Very nice
I've been using these headphones for the past several months and they have really grown on me. I had previously been using HD280 pros and M50s for my monitoring but these have fit right in with my standard issue headphones. The angled ear pads make this more comfortable than my others so i find that i'm using them more. I'd recommend them.

Awesome headphones
These headphones are awesome. The sound is better than any other headphones I have every used and they are comfortable enough to wear for hours. The noise reduction is so good I can’t hear my wife yelling at me in the background. They give a whole new meaning to drowning in sound. I can't wait to use them on long plane trips.

Love them!
I love them! They are more then comfortable. The clamp is light and the cushions feel like leather pillows wrapped around your ears. I really like the appearance of them, totally my style with that dark brushed look. Some have complained about the super flexy headband, but I actually like it. Some have also complained about the big carrying case, but I actually like that too; I throw it in my gym bag with everything else on a daily basis for work and I know they're safe. I guess my ONLY complaint, and a small one at that, is that on devices that don't output allot of power will make you wanting the volume louder when already maxed out. But, I will probably be getting a portable amp/dac combo for that. also, the extra angled ear pads i found nice when laying down, because you can tilt the headphones foward and still have a proper fit.
as for the sound: clear and clean. these are very nuetral headphones, which makes them very versitile. youtube/netflix is great due to this. also, i am a little sensative to high treble, and these headphones let me listen without discomfort. it's exactly what i wanted, nuetral sound with easy-to-listen treble, and clean bass ( i don't listen to rap or anything, and i don't like over-done, muddy deep bass ) and extremely comfortable. for the price, get these no questions asked.

Excellent, maximum bang for your buck!
Prior headphones: Senn HD650, grado sr325is, where se530, audio technical es7, vmoda m100
These headphones are very impressive. Out of all my headphones, these are the most neutral. They have a decent soundstage that doesn't get congested. Their sound is the most versatile, doing justice to all varieties of music, faithfully. They benefit from amping, but don't need anything powerful. Unless you have a solid DAC/amp, these are superior to even the senn 650s. I've never purchased a headphone that was as worthy as these, given they're only 100 dollars. Compared to the $300 M100s, these are absolutely superior. These lack any strong coloration, which depending on what you're looking for, may sound dull at first.
The construction feels a little flimsy at first, and they could be a little tighter( build wise, not fit). However the trade off is these are incredibly light, and very comfortable ( I personally prefer the default flat pads).
Bottom line: if you're looking for a cheap jump into the headphone world, honestly look no further-
I've also heard where 840s, Sony MDR v6, audio technical m50s, akg k240s. None of them provide such textured bass, smooth mids, and detailed treble, with such comfort and low amp requirements for $100. Lack of portability is the only limitation. Get 'em!

No need to look further if your budget is up to $100
I have tried few headphones before settling with the XPT100s. What I like about them is:
1. Comfort - You will not forget that you have them on but the padding is very generous and does not put pressure on your ears in any spots. Though due to their size they are not suitable for outdoor use unless you do not care how you look. At home - very comfy.
2. Large ear cups - I like when headphones do not touch my ears and they are perfect in this area.
3. Sound - Very natural sounding and easy to listen to. There are no harsh highs or booming lows. Soundstage is somewhat lacking but that can be expected from a closed headphones. Overall you can listen to them for hours without fatigue.
4. Isolation - They isolate very well. I guess that's due to the large ear cups and extra padding.
5. Short cable (in an addition to a long cable) - Good when your main use is laptop or mp3 player so you do not have to trip over extra feet of cable.
So far I have no dislikes. I haven't rated durability as I own them only for a few weeks. So far they have held up pretty well. NOTE: I put 3 out of 5 (middle) just because I can't submit no rating.
I would highly recommend them if you want good home headphones on a limited budget.

The first thing my son did was to try them on with the flat pads ... then he changed it with the angled pads. He simply loves them.
The sound of this headset is so great that I have to yell twice to call him diner's ready... :-(
But it really was a great Christmas grift. My son says they do exactly what their website says and that was the reason he chose them.

Great sound, great comfort
It has been years since I have used headphones. That being said, these sound great to me. The sound is very clear and somewhat neutral - no range (bass, mid range, treble) seems to be emphasized. They are extremely comfortable. I can also use them with my computer (or wife's iPad) without added amplification. The only drawback I see is that they are somewhat bulky - I probably won't be using them for travel, though they do come with a large travel case.

Loving them
I received a demo unit of these headphones to test and have been very happy with the results so far. They sound great, fit well, and controls are pretty intuitive. The short answer is that I highly recommend them, but below are some more details.
1. Sound
For being Bluetooth, these headphones are great. The audio is quite balanced with defined highs, decent mids, and a pronounced low end. In some of my test tracks the vocals got a little muddy, but it wasn't extremely obvious. The low end is just enough for my preference of rap, hip-hop, or edm. Not overpowering, but definitely prominent. I'm not sure what the sensitivity is on the headphones, but I feel like I have to turn up the volume on my computer / smartphone a little more some of my other headphones.
It is also worth mentioning that there was no latency issues, which makes them great for movies or games on smartphones.
2. Comfort
The earpads rest comfortably on top of the ears (these are on-ear headphones) without too much pressure. The leather (what NVX calls ComfortMax) is actually really comfortable. Out of the box it was nice and subtle. I do not foresee any issues of stiffening or discomfort. The head band is slightly padded, which when combined with how light the headphones are, make for a pretty comfortable pair of casual listeners.
3. Features
The controls on the side of the right speaker are easy to use and intuitive. I occasionally have a few issues with the volume up and next track, but it isn't too often. The headphones also feature a 3.5mm cable that lets you use the headphones as either bluetooth or wired (passive). I think this is a feature that every bluetooth headphone should have. The battery life is good. I haven't timed it specifically, but i'm able to get many hours out of the headphones at moderate volume.
4. Overall
I would recommend these headphones. They are great Bluetooth headphones with a nice sound, good features, and a nice fit.

Fantastic budget minded choice
I bought these for my daughter and she loves them. She cares little about sound quality or fit and finish. So I tested them myself. Initially I was extremely impressed with the fit finish and selected materials of the unit. They seem robust enough for whatever my 13yo daughter can throw at them, and she uses them daily. The sound quality seems better than fair, (if you've ever heard the sony xb400 it's very close) the low freq range extends well into the 30s but the hats and cymbols wash out a bit. In their defense it is something I've noticed on every blue tooth accessory, especially when running low bit rate music like offerings from pandora. Sound quality may improve when corded to the device, although I had not tested this. I can't say anything about battery life other than they have been used for several hours at a time without the need to recharge.

Great product!
I was expecting to be good headphones, considering I already have the in-ear headphones from NVX and a 10" VSW subwoofer and both products are awesome. Powerful and deep bass, but also good mids and highs. If you listen to electronic, dance, hip-hop and r&b this pair is for you. If you want super clean mids and highs, probably you would want to go with some over ear headphones. Battery lasts as advertised and bluetooth range is like 8 feet with my iphone. If you have a big head they might be too small for you...very compact I use the at the gym. I bought them for cheap so I made the best deal on headphones ever!

I had the opportunity to test out this product and have to say I like what I hear. After running through my playlist to test the headphones, they get great range, and the drivers seem to be pretty balanced.
Over all these are pretty awesome. They look and feel solid, and fit super comfy. They get great range, and they even have the option to be wired.

Amazing Sound Quality
I got these headphones to replace a Sony MDR-XB500 that I've had for 3 years and wanted something different. As of now, I've owned these headphones for a month, and I must say that NVX has made one of the best headphones I've ever experienced. The characteristics of these headphones include:
- Very Lightweight
- Studio Grade Sound Quality
- Soft/Smooth Leather Cups
Comparing these to the Sony I had before, it has a much more clearer sound response, but the bass isn't as strong as the Sony. Don't get me wrong though; these headphones can hit subsonic notes and still sound somewhat loud on the bass.
I also use these headphones for music production with FL Studio. When experimenting with sounds, you can hear the slightest irregularity in uncorrected sounds to allow you to produce better sounds.
Needless say if you have considered these headphones, but hesitant to get one, you won't be disappointed.

Cool design but some functional issues
The sound is great. It blocks out outside noise pretty well.
I don't like that the track toggles are the same as the volume buttons. To change the volume you have to press and hold the button otherwise it will skip to the next song if you only tap it. It's not a huge problem but sometimes if I am doing something, like working out, I press the button for too short and change the song instead of change the volume. So that's annoying.
Also, I accidentally press the buttons when taking the headphones on an off. because you have to grab the area with the buttons to take it off.
I wish it had a way to lock the buttons.
Otherwise, I like the look of the headphones and the Bluetooth function works great. For me, they are comfortable as long as I'm not wearing glasses and of course they get sweaty if your working out, just like any other over the ear headphones.

FANTASTIC FREQUENCY RESPONSE !
I am a professional musician ! I ordered one set to try ! After listening ------ I ordered 5 MORE as gifts ! THESE have a UNIQUE ability to make the BASS LINES POP OUT of the mix - without blasting the DIGITAL FREQ PEAK ! Of course - I use them WITH THE CORD ---------- however, my daughter uses them WIRELESS.
I would not use them to do RECORDING MIXES [ as I do ALL mixes with an OPEN AIR design ] - but THESE are my primary SET for LISTENING - for pleasure . ALL ELEMENTS just POP OUT for some reason.
If you want TOTAL PLEASURE FOR LISTENING --------------- GO WITH A SET OF THESE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone did a FANTASTIC JOB with designing THESE ! How "" for LISTENING !
ENJOY!

Great Headphones, BUT
I love the sound of these headphones. But the short 1.3 meter cable was bad , lucky they also came with a 3 meter cable. No replacement cable on NVX site. Found Brianwavz HM5 cable on mp4ntion.com for $9.50 free shipping. from Hong Kong. Received the new cable in 15 days. Works great.
I do not think anyone could go wrong with buying these, I listen to them for hours at a time with zero problems. I remember buying headphones for $50 back in the 80s (a lot for me then) that did not sound this good. $80 was a bargain and with the $5 refund for the bad cable, just cake.

NVX Audio XPT100
Once burnt in the sound is beautifully full and clear... The instruments are separated, and once i increased slightly bass frequency the headphones become the ultimate listening experience for anywhere close price range. The cushions are super comfy and I can wear them for a super long periods of time.
Highly recommended.

Not What I Was Hoping For
Given all of the reviews I read on the NVX Audi XPT100 headhones and how so many people thought they were amazing, I was thoroughly disappointed.
I was buying these to replace my Sony MDR-XB500 headphones as they're getting old and starting to wear out (I've had them for about 5 years now). After switching back and forth between the XB500s and the XPT100s, listening to the same part of the same song and keeping the volume exactly the same, the XB500s are better.
Between my father and I, we have around $50-60,000 worth of home audio equipment (surround sound, vacuum tube amplifiers, high-end this, high-end that and so on). I wouldn't quite go as far as to call myself an audiophile, but I am really picky when it comes to my headphones, and the XPT100s didn't quite reach my standards. I'm not saying they're bad headphones, I'm just saying the XB500s perform better for what I like.
For lows, the XPT100s are rated to 10Hz whereas the XB500s are rated to 4Hz. Granted, average human hearing is only down to about 20Hz or so, but as the frequencies drop below 30Hz, the XPT100s fizzle out and stop producing low frequencies while the XB500s power straight through and rattle your entire head.
For volume output, the XPT100s aren't quite as efficient as the XB500s. Keeping the volume the same on my laptop/headphone amp, and the XB500s produce more sound on the same power. And as I increased the power higher and higher, the XPT100s began to distort much sooner than the XB500s did.
Also, everyone raved about how comfortable the XPT100s were, but (again, in my opinion and what I've been using for the past 5 years), compared to the XB500s, the XPT100s felt cheap, with minimal cushion on the ear cups.
All in all, they are decent headphones, but compared to what I've been used to for the past 5 years, the NVX Audio XPT100s are no match for the Sony MDR XB500s.

Worth everything it cost
Would I pay MSRP? Yes... the cost on sonic make them even more of a steal, i'm wondering why i didn't buy them sooner, I am just completely lost in my music, the bass is good, the trebles are crisp, and everything is where it should be. They are on the larger end of the spectrum given its size, but the large size means comfort, right? in this case, yes, these are the most comfortable headphones you'll wear ever. I've worn turtle beach, bose, and beats audio headphones (beats audio is horrible). These are better at comfort and sound in both turtle beach and bose, and it's no competition when compared to beats audio.
There are some great features on these headphones found only on other higher end sets that cost 3 or 4 times what these cost, like removable cables, a custom case, different style drop in ear muffs, and made of completely of metal. Never have i heard music as good as this, and never will you hear music as good as this.
- Overall a 5 (i'm a huge NVX fan, basically NVX everything for audio)
- Value, given this is a $200 set of phones for $80, definite 5 and i would stay pay $200 for these
- Durability is a solid 5, the flexible head bridge I was able to twist with little effort and it just whipped right back into place, so will not break easily
- Features is a solid 5, different lengthed cables and two ear muff styles to suit your needs, definitely has more features than some $300+ phones
- Ease of use I am only giving a 4, the jacks that attach to the cans aren't letter labeled, so i had to go into the manual to find that grey is left and black is right. it also takes a bit of force to get them to pop in, this should become easier with time.

Great headphone with lots of accessories
I own a ton of headphones. Opening the box of XPT100 makes me feel like I got a lot for my money. Definitely nice to see ton of goodies in the box. An extra set of pads is something I appreciate a lot.
Headphone fits my relatively big head comfortably. As a comparision DT880 premium doesn't fit my head as easily as these.
Sound is neutral. I still haven't listened to these extensively. So I might come back later to update this review.

Excellent audio quality, don't miss my active noise cancelation
I was skeptical/hesitant to get these because I had some top of the line Able Planet active noise canceling headphones that were double the price, but I've heard a lot so I decided to bite since my Able Planets were falling apart after years of use.
The NVX cans sound great -- better than my dated Able Planets now compared side by side -- and the build quality seems similar. Don't even need the active noise canceling because the ear cups fit snugly and nicely and the sound is so full.
Note that the black marked cable is for the left phone, and the grey marked cable is for the right.

Technical error...
The NVX headphones perform flawlessly, good sound quality and intuitive controls. My only gripe is that Sonic Electronix had them on sale for around $25.00, however, since I'm not too tech savvy, I failed to enter the 'Code' for the sale price and was thusly charged the full $40.00. If they're on sale, why do I need to enter a 'Code' to get the sale price ??? Kinda sullied the buying experience, however it was my own damn fault I suppose.

Great Balanced Headphones at an Even Better Value!
I would like to start my review off by saying that, while I am no audiophile or sound engineer and will never claim to be, as a person who spends a good amount of time performing, recording, and mixing in my home studio, my experience with headphones in the last few years is extensive: AKG, Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, you can pretty much go down the line. When I first heard about the XPT100 on a headphone forum highly recommending them over what I was initially looking to purchase at this price point, the ATH-M40x, which are pretty balanced headphones for mixing and reference in their own right, so I can admit, I was pretty skeptical. What made me un-skeptical and made me finally pull the trigger on the XPT100 was all the glowing reviews stating how unbelievably comfortable they are for the price paid. I can attest to their comfort and the phrase you may happen across when looking up reviews: "like pillows/ kittens on your head" could not be more true. As someone who spends sometimes 5 to 6 hours at a time on average in one sitting, both tracking and mixing, comfort was a crucial factor with my next headphone purchase. The M40x's, while stated as comfortable, are nowhere near as comfortable for as long of a duration as these, nor are any headphones that I've worn previously. I could see how someone could watch a bunch of movies one after another and forget they were even wearing them. I have caught myself a few times already. They ARE that comfortable.
What's included with the XPT100 along with a padded case, a 1/4" screw-in adapter and two sets of cables (one long, one short) are two sets of ear cups, one flat, one angled. Supposedly, sound-wise, the flat ones are better for general listening, they bring out the bass, the highs and are generally a more pleasant listening experience for music, as many flat cupped headphones will be designed to make the music sound better. The Angled ones (by the way the thicker part goes BEHIND your ear), from what I understand are angled so that the sound as it enters your ear is flush, so that the sound is more even, less bass and overall punchiness, but it basically flattens up the perceived frequency. For mixing, this is a must, so depending on your purpose, you may choose one over the other, but this is a non-issue as they are easy enough to swap out at any time as your audio needs change. Comfort on both, are phenomenal, and I can't say enough good things. If you are buying headphones based on comfort alone, these should be at the top of your list at this price point. The XPT100 are like thin leather-wrapped pillows and the XBTL6 are like rubber-wrapped memory foam.
Another thing widely mentioned in the reviews (why I bought them) is their sound. Crisp and extended highs, very even and present mids, and solid bass. Regarding the last point, these are not for bass-heads; they have clear and present bass, definitely not overwhelming as some other brands (don't want to name names), but for hearing the bass as the artist intended, these do the job, and do it well. After breaking them in, my first impressions of their overall sound is VERY even, tonally, and very balanced, Accurate. Highs are highs and lows are lows. Of my experience with other studio monitors, I would definitely call it a neutral sound, but leaning ever so slightly towards the "warm" side, but is still EXTREMELY detailed. Seriously, I am picking out things from my mixes that I had never heard before and picking up details from various music that I didn't previously even know existed listening with headphones that cost twice as much or more. When you listen to these headphones, I cannot stress enough that you are listening to the song as the artist intended, not EQ'd to sound good for casual listeners as most consumer headphones and the headsets that come phones will often do. For that reason, many people will say these sound dull or boring, and they are, but it is for a reason: analytical. The combination of both their sound and comfort make listening (and mixing) on these for many hours at a time, a dream. For those doing casual home recording at a $100 headphone budget like myself, this bundle is a MUST BUY. I am even finding things that the included XBTL6 do well at, in fact, I may use those for tracking, as they are wireless which allows me to focus more on my performance, and then use the XPT100 solely for mixing and as a reference for the final mix down.
Yet another big reason I decided to purchase these was the reviewer talking about their impressive soundstage being better than that of the ATH-M40x's I was looking at, as well as most other closed-backed headphones at this price. It is well-known that most, if not all closed-back headphones' soundstages are, essentially, 0, meaning the sounds are blasted right into your head, where as a wide soundstage gives you better instrument separation and sounds like the sound is coming from all around you and you can better pick out where the instruments are coming from, almost like a live performance. Like I said these are closed-back, so they still don't have a soundstage as impressive as, say, $300 open-back pair of headphones, but for closed they are definitely impressive to my ears. With these having a soundstage that is better in my opinion to almost every other sub-$200 pair of closed-back headphones was a large reason of mine for buying, again speaking to their value. Obviously, this lacks the extremely wide soundstage of open-back headphones, but with those, you also get more sound leak and way less isolation as well. Isolation, as well as lack of sound leak on these is good, not great, but they are more than adequate for my situation. I wouldn't use them, say, on the bus or a plane, but your mileage may vary. I purchased these for multipurpose reasons: tracking, a neutral reference for mixing, as well as casual listening. If you wanted headphones for strictly travel or strictly mixing I would defiantly recommend a different pair, but that also comes at a higher price. For everything that I described and more as a best "bang-for-your-buck" for under a hundred bucks, you NEED to try these. The XPT100 excels at almost everything I throw at it. I was a skeptic but now a believer and am putting my Sennheiser's away in storage. Coming from someone who has never heard of NVX before, I was pleasantly surprised at just how good a sub-$100 pair of headphones can sound. Simply put, read the reviews, they are all telling the truth, but at this price, can you really go wrong with two sets of awesome headphones?
My only possible long term considerations of these would be their durability/ design. Not that the ear cups or headband are flimsy, because they feel pretty durable but the flexible aluminum bands and hinges for adjusting the cups has me worried that they may be easily damaged. In my hours of testing, I can say however, that I have had not one issue with durability and this is merely speculation on my part. Coming from a person who takes care of his purchases, this will not be a problem for me, especially considering the XPT100 comes with a nice foam case for travel/ storage for accessories. Also, these are quite large on your head, this of course plays into the size of the comfy ear pads, so keep that in mind if you are looking for headphones you can take out and about or are going to be using them on the bus or a public setting. I would consider these purely for home use for this reason. also because of their isolation and sound leak, while not bad, is enough to where I wouldn't use them if you are going to be extremely close to people in a public setting, but again, your mileage may vary.
Ease of use, especially for the included XBTL6, could not be any better. The Bluetooth aspects of it are easy to connect and has a decent- not great - range but this is made better by the fact that one can simply plug in the audio cable if you do not have Bluetooth. It also has a mic and controls built in so you can use it to answer/ end calls and operate your mobile device's music player. Ease of use on the XPT100 is equally good. The ear cups are easy to replace and the cords are easy to connect to the two ear cups and feel solid as if they aren't going to easily come out. So in this area, I was very happy.
Overall, the XBTL6 Bluetooth headphones were a pleasant surprise and a more than welcome addition for this bundle. I am glad they are included because in all honesty, I probably would have never bought them if they weren't. Now, I can't recommend them enough as Bluetooth headphones or just general listening headphones. Sound and comfort on these are better than other Bluetooth headphones I have tried for the same price. For under 30 bucks for this pair alone, you really can't go wrong, as they were much better than I expected.
The bottom line for those considering this bundle is, above all else, VALUE! It's why I picked this over other Audio-Technica and AKG products at this price. Considering other similarly priced headphones at and around $100 or even more, I don't see why individuals looking for headphones for mixing, playing games, watching movies, or even listening to music can't all find something to like with these two sets of headphones. You can buy the bundle, and keep one set for yourself and give the other as a gift. At this price, you're basically getting the Bluetooth headphones for free, and trust me, these are hands down the best "free" or "cheap" headphones I have EVER heard, bar none. They make the earbuds that come with phones sound like toys.
Read the reviews like I have. Hundreds of reviews including my own cannot be wrong. Believe me when I say that you will NOT find a better pair of headphones in a bundle like this for this kind of value. Amazing comfort, balanced sound, ease of use, and included accessories make this a must-buy in the sub-$100 price range and even eclipse those twice as much. I am no audiophile, but with these I feel like I am finally listening to what I have always been missing in my music. BUY THESE NOW AND ENJOY THEM FOREVER!

Worth the price and then some
For $25, you really can't beat these. Bought these mainly for watching movies at night on my PC ,when working in my garage, and around the house.
In the box you get the headphones, charging cord, and an auxillary cord.
It's lightweight enough that you can keep them on for a few hours, but fits snug enough that it won't go flying off your head of you reach down to pick something up. Ear pads are quite soft with makes them really comfortable to wear.
The sound quality is obviously not top notch, but for what I paid for it, it sounds pretty damn decent. There is a slight buzz/humming sound when audio is being played, but can't be heard unless your volume is really low. But I'm sure it will satisfy most peoples listening needs as it did mine.Gets pretty loud as well. Please don't expect these to be the best sounding headphones ever though.
Controls are simple enough to use and straight forward. Bluetooth is very easy to pair with PC, phone, etc. The range is similar to most Bluetooth products. You can also pair it with more than one device ( PC and phone at the same time).
Charge usually lasts a good 8-9 hours for me, depending on how loud you listen to them. Charges pretty fast as well. About 2 1/2 hours or so, haven't timed it exactly though.
You're missing out on a really great deal if you don't consider these. $25...come on.

Good Headphones
I bought these to use with my phone while driving because I don't have bluetooth in my car. They work well for answering incoming calls. I also found myself using them to listen to podcasts and music while I work. The fidelity is good and they're quite comfortable. I consider them and excellent value especially for the price paid.

Quality
When It Comes To NVX Poor Quality Is Never A Thought. For A Blue Tooth Head Set w/ Mic, Great Audio Clarity And A Range Of About 40 Feet Not A Bad Deal At All. Team NVX!
Awesome product
It's really great, not just for what price but overall it's a really good set of headphones and glad I ordered it
Could have better features
Need a Bluetooth feature. Spend more bucks. There are other headphones better than this.
Great product
I bought 2 of these headphones. One for husband for birthday and one for son for Christmas. They are amazing quality. My husband couldn't believe what I paid. He's says they're great sound and amazing noise cancellation. He works in loud factory and wears them at work. He said beats have just a little more bass but no where near enough to pay $200 more for. My son hasn't got his yet. If you're wanting great sound without the high price these are best choice. The volume and track changing on side of headphones are a great convenience too. And the battery lift lasts a very long time.
Can't be beat
I now own 3 pair of these head phones. I bought the first set well over a year ago. This product has a great battery life and has clean crisp highs. Good midbass, deep rich low Bass. The ear pieces are very comfortable. Their range seems to be around 20 to 25 feet. I enjoy them so much that I got a pair for my mother and my sister. For their price they can't be beat. Yes I would definitely buy again.
Great headphones!
Surprisingly good sound. Plenty of bass. Good battery life. Very comfortable for long periods of time, too. I paid $30.00 at Sonic. I'm very satisfied.
great headphones!
The sound is way amazing! Better than I expected! I was laughing when I first heard these headphones! They sounded so good! I could not believe the sound quality and price.What a deal! Bluetooth, phone calls and you can use the headphones as a regular standard hard wire head phones. Charging cable and audio cable are included and long enough for both jobs. Headphones also feel comfortable, when worn.
they work perfect once you fix the mistake the assembly people made
i got these headphones per request for my birthday present before Christmas but they had a problem when after you charge them the charge doesn't stay long in stand by/off mode but plays as long at full volume as advertised. and for the reason stated above after turning them off after using them or after turning them on them immediately off it doesn't turn back on, so you have to let it sit for awhile to get them to on again, so i disassembled them and found that the negative battery and the negative speaker wire were soldered together as if the person assembling them assumed that these to wire should be soldered together because both the pads where the wires solder to are right next to each other, but after i fixed there mess up they turn on and off repeatedly with out fail and they stay charged as advertised and actually seems to take a full charge like the indicater for saying its charged because before it would blink red then pink a couple times then stays a solid pink then after 1 or 4 minutes it would flash red now it does the flash between the red and pink intill its charged and once its charged it stays pink
Limited
Great value only problem is Bluetooth range is very limited
great item
I got these on a whim when sonic had a "make an offer" special and I'm glad I did. I hate over ear headphones but needed done Bluetooth ones that would stay in place do I said screw it and offered them $25 for a pair of these after reading the reviews. They countered at $30 so I got them. The sound is awesome I can't tell you how clear and crisp they sound the bass notes even hit deep and clean when listening to rap. They fit well the ear piece is soft and light I wear them for hours at a time and my ears never hurt or feel smashed. The battery was given a full charge before initial use and in between the first time I used them till they needed charging again I easily got about 15 hrs of life out of them. They are used daily and do Dar not a ptoblrm one with them NVX is a brand I wasn't to fakiliar with until I bought some car audio stuff from tthem and was a also surprised how great they quality was vs price. Get these and u won't regret it they are way cheaper than beats and the other high end overpriced brands but just as good.
Exceeds Expectations
The NVX XBTL6 is better than I expected from a bluetooth headphone. They are comfortable and easily adjusted. The balance and separation meet my needs perfectly. It's easy to skip tracks, adjust volume, and pair with my phone. I tested their range and didn't lose the signal when 45' away. The battery lasts about 5 or 6 hours and takes about 45 minutes or so to charge. The bad? They're a mixed bag when working out. First, they are always secure no matter what you're doing. But they're too warm when sweating (e.g. running fast on a treadmill or pushing yourself on a cross-trainer); ear buds are better. That said, they're perfect when lifting weights. I frequently use them when working around the house and watching TV. (I can pair with my TV so as not to bother my wife.) I've heard elsewhere that treble is a little weak and I can confirm it but that's ok, too: I prefer a thundering bass anyway. It's probably the best $30 I've ever spent.
Great product, high quality, but not for larger-sized heads
The product is of excellent quality and has no issue of connection interference, on either windows or apple. The product also has an awesome battery life (about 10 hrs on full battery, continuous use) and also comes with an audio cable to use as wired headphones if the battery was to run out.
But, despite the actual speakers being well padded and comfortable, the "headband" of the headphones is designed for smaller-sized heads and also designed to fit snugly around the ears...as a result extended use of the headphones causes discomfort on the ears due to the pressure pushing in from the headband. For uses less than probably about 3 hours it's not an issue, especially with the fact that the headphones last about 10 hrs, so charging the headphones everyday usually isn't the case depending on use. But for extended use, over 4-5 hrs I'd say, they tend to get a little uncomfortable
Outstanding Value
These might not stand up to top of the line Sennheisers, etc., but for roughly $30, the sound quality and ease of use is absolutely incredible. I am wholly satisfied with this purchase and will recommend these headphones to anyone else looking for quality sound without breaking the bank.
good headphones, great price
good headphones, great price
My son dropped them 3 feet and the right speaker stopped working. I opened it up and soldered the very thin wire ( seems too thin ) and now it works.
Great product
Their a good deal or the price and the quality I recommend them to any one
Groovy
Would definitely recommend these to anyone and already have. Very comfortable for on ear phone and rather surprised with the sound. I prefer over the ear phones, but these are definitely a good alternative.
Good price and functionality
It's really good compared to the price. The best part is that it matches the specs of more expensive product.
best bang for the buck
I ordered these not excepting much from them for the price what the hell I like to download music to listen to in my vehicles so I like a certain bass notes to play in my truck when I compete with these it actually play the notes down to 10hz and above and pretty loud to be honest and the Bluetooth works very well it works so good had to order my wife and sister one because they loved mine so
