great experience but be gentle with them
By Bobkat on Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2018
I'm extremely happy with these headphones. The sound quality is phenomenal with music while still being useable for listening to audiobooks and voice only sources (I had a pair of bose that were worthless for anything but music). The battery life is great and the bluetooth connectivity is flawless with my iphone 8 and macbook. While not being noise cancelling these have good noise reduction without being too hot in the ears. The travel case is top notch being both slim and sturdy. Now for the negative side, as other reviewers have pointed out these headphones have a lot of thin plastic pieces on them. They "feel" fragile and I'm constantly reminded to be extra careful with them as they clearly will break under any kind of stress, that is judging by the pictures others have posted. If you take care of things and are careful then I don't think you'll have any issue with these headphones being more fragile than many others on the market. I do wish there was a version of these that costs a bit more that had aluminum in place of plastic for some of the pieces most likely to be under stress (ear cup hinge pins, pressure fitting for the ear extenders) so I'm giving them 4 stars for material.

Battery life seems to be really good (haven't had to charge it yet)
By Jin Hyun on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2017
[UPDATE] After a year of very gentle usage (used it maybe once a week on average) the plastic parts at the end of the cushioned headband developed hairline cracks. Based on other peoples review, I think this is a design flaw. I am just outside the warranty limit by one week, and have not found a useful link on their company website to contact them regarding this issue. I would not recommend these headphones anymore. What use is a good sounding headphone when it is breaking down even after moderate use. Purchased this headphone a week ago and loving it so far. Battery life seems to be really good (haven't had to charge it yet), it is really comfortable, and the sound quality is superb. Originally, I was considering the Sennheiser PCX 550 or the Bose QC 35, but the Sennheiser was just too expensive for my current budget (although I was surprised by the sound quality and how well the noise canceling feature worked) and I didn't really like the sound of the QC35. Then I realized I don't really need the noise canceling feature, so I broadened my search to other headphones and ran into the Klipsch Reference series. I first ordered the on-ear version, which was $50 cheaper, but found it to be uncomfortable to wear for a long period due to the pressure it put on my ears. So I decided to return the on-ear pair and got the over-ear and I am very happy with my decision. I found out that the drivers in these pairs are different from those that are in the on-ear version which justified the price difference. (I am not sure why Klipsch doesn't emphasizes this more, at first it seemed like an extra $50 for different shapes of the ear cushions) I read some complaints online about the bass being weak, but I think those might be coming from people used to headphones with a bass boost. I am no audiophile, but in my opinion the sound of the Kilpsch reference is very well balanced and the bass is precise. I had the best listening experience for classical music, but I think this depends on a personal taste.
