The sound quality on these puppies are insane. What’s even better is that you can adjust the EQ with the app and really dial in the sound depending on the type of audio. I use them a ton for work too, because they are super comfortable and the long battery life let me use it for work calls all day long without having to worry about charging them. Mic quality is super high too. Crystal clear.

Absolute quality. The long battery makes it perfect for WFH, gaming, travel and everything that comes with being quarantined inside. Super comfortable and easy to use. Incredibly satisfied!

These headphones are great! They feel sturdy and very high end. Super comfy and most importantly… the battery life is….. Amazing!

I’m a bit of a headphones snob and these are top of the line. Sleek design, crisp sound (the EQ adjustment in the app is clutch), and the battery life is wild. Can’t recommend highly enough.
Garrett S. –
The battery life is truly remarkable, and I was thoroughly impressed with the EQ and high fidelity of the headphones. Smooth low end, pristine mids and highs. Paired with the Cleer+ app, it’s awesome to play with the various features (such as noise cancelling and ambient modes) and the equalizer. Highly recommend!

I got this pair last week and have been wearing them nearly every day for about 4-5 hours a day and I’m still sitting above 50% battery. It’s crazy how far ANC battery life technology has come.
Pros:
– Punchy bass, but it isn’t muddy (looking at you Beats…)
– Active Noise Cancellation is superb! (WARNING: Your significant other might think you’re purposefully ignoring them if they don’t try the ANC while listening to something themselves. I seriously almost got in a fight with my girlfriend because these cancel sound so good… Thanks Cleer Audio?)
– Near perfect comfort (I’ve never owned a pair of closed back headphones this comfortable. They’re honestly giving my open back Sennheiser PC37x’s a run for their money in that department)
– Solid BT Mic (Better than most wireless headphones. It does pick up ambient noise a bit, like my blue switch mechanical keyboard, but that’s an issue with every wireless headset that doesn’t have a dedicated external mic on a stem. If you have a normal keyboard, a relatively quiet space, these are perfect for zoom calls)
– Literally no sound leakage (Remember how I almost got into a fight? Well that’s partially because my girlfriend didn’t hear that System of a Down was blaring in my ears despite standing 3 feet away from me, so she thought I was just purposefully ignoring her and not that I was just incapable of hearing her over Serj Tankian yelling in my ears).
– The aesthetics… just wow. Sleek, minimalistic, but still enough flash to make a statement without looking like you’re trying to make one (*Cough* Beats *Cough*). Honestly, before the AirPods Max came out, if you removed the Cleer Audio Badging and stuck an Apple silhouette on these you wouldn’t think twice if someone told you this is what Apple’s new headphones would look like.
– Battery life: I already told you in the first sentence, mate. These bad boys only need me charged once a week if you’re going to use them for your 9-5 job. That’s incredibly impressive.
– Build Quality: Solid. Aluminum band (plastic interior for the size adjustment mechanism, but it’s thick and just a solid slab parallel to and flushed against the aluminum band so it isn’t a snapping threat… actually really smart design to brace the plastic with metal). These are headphones that are built to withstand being tossed around a bit, which makes them perfect travel companions and likely the only piece of electronics that will survive the airport crew’s luggage shot putting contest they seem to always hold with my suitcase whenever I fly.
– Controls: Very good. Personally I prefer to control volume with a wheel or dial, but I know others that prefer a button. It’s literally a personal preference and not a slight against the design. As far as buttons go, they’re in an easily accessible spot and feel nice to press. At the end of the day they at least didn’t join the trend in using inaccurate and unintuitive touch based/gesture controls (looks at my buddy’s Sony WH-1000XM3’s he left over here the other day)… *shudders*.
– Price: You’re getting more than what you paid for. These are easily $200 headphones and that’s me being conservative. I’d put these in the $250+ range and they compete against a lot of the overpriced sets as well (Bose, I’m not saying you’re bad, but you’re not $300 good, let alone $379…)
Cons: (Yes there are cons, I’m not biased.)
– Mids are pretty good, but aren’t sparkly. (Note: This is a problem with almost all closed back earphones. They have reduced soundstage due to the fact that they are closed. Noise reverberates against the closed shell, it’s physics. You can compensate for that by creating a deeper earcup so there is extra space for the sound to separate and sound more balanced. Lower frequencies, like bass, will almost always overwhelm your mids/highs in small closed off spaces. The only pair of closed headphones that actually kind of have solved that issue really well are the Airpod Max’s, but they’re like $550 and well… I’m not about to compare these to something $400 more expensive. Let’s just say I rather have these and the extra $400 in my pocket). ——————–> DISCLAIMER: The app they have for these does have an equalizer. I haven’t messed with it yet, but some tweaking in there might help get those mids/highs singing where I want them to.
– I mentioned that they were NEAR perfect comfort. I think the ear cups are stellar. I have slightly above average sized ears, yet the ear cups feel great. I don’t get ear fatigue at all. The one area I wish was a little more comfortable was the headband. It isn’t bad by any stretch of the means, but it does slightly hurt after a few hours. The padding is good, but I think it comes down to the band being slightly narrower than other pairs I’ve used. This means there is less surface area to disperse the the pressure. These are supposed to be optimized for travel, so I get the decision to go with a narrower headband is to reduce the bulkiness of these, but I think just a slightly wider headband would have made these absolutely perfect for my comfort preferences.
I honestly don’t really have anything too critical to say about these headphones. They’re honestly solid and an INCREDIBLE value. You’re easily getting $250 headphones for $150. I would snatch these up before a pair of overpriced Bose Quiet Comforts or Sony WH-1000XM3 (seriously, who names these? I’m pretty sure saying the name out loud triggers extra captchas to appear on websites to make sure you’re not a robot).
Anyways, you might not be familiar with Cleer Audio (I sure as heck wasn’t), but I decided to take a flyer on them and am now going to be recommending them in the future and trying out the rest of their catalog after trying this pair out. (Got their Stage BT speaker as well since it was on sale and holy cow that little thing sounds almost as good as my 2 big Sonos speakers in my ceiling. The little guy punches way above its weight. Wish I had that when I was in college throwing apartment parties on the regular haha).

Got these as a wedding gift this past week. I absolutely love them! Great sounds quality. Looks like I have a new favorite set of headphones!

Great set of headphones! Top headband and ear cushions are very soft and comfortable. I saw a few reviewers say on youtube that the pressure between the earphones is tight but, I did not have that issue and I’m roughly 6’4″ and have people commenting on my large head size consistently. Coming out of the box the headphones are a little bassy which is easily remedied by downloading the cleer+ app and using the 5 band equalizer provided. Anc is great so far and definitely filters out almost all of that pesky background noise and, when you need it, the ambient mode helps bring through some of the more useful frequency ranges (such as people speaking). If I had one complaint, and it is so minor that I still felt these headphones deserved 5 stars, there is a very slight audio delay when play some video files. It is almost completely imperceptible but I’m a musician and kind of tuned to be able to see/hear that sort of thing. Absolutely worth the money as they are what they have been saying, loosely quoted “We want people to feel that these headphones are a set of premium headphones at a reasonable price”, which they absolutely are.
