Sir Ike Pro Black Premium Bluetooth Wireless Headphones with Noise Reduction

OK, first I want to start off saying how surprised I am that there are no other reviews for these headphones! I almost didn't get them because of it. That would have been a mistake. I'm no exspert on headphones. I've never spent over hundred bucks on them, heck I've never spent over fifty. This mostly being because I'm a self professed headphone cord killer. I go through at least one every two to three months. I usually stick with skullcandy because you can get a really good pair of headphones for a reasonable price. Plus they have a great warranty, and I love a company that sticks by their product. But they don't have a Bluetooth headphone (yet). So anywho, when I found out about Bluetooth headphones I knew I had to get a pair. Yes! Bluetooth, WIRELESS, headphones, finally a cure for my killing streak! I originally got a cheeper pair of Motorola Bluetooth headphones. Those suckers hurt my head and ears. Plus they sounded like everything was coming through a tunnel. Don't go cheep with Bluetooth. Lesson learned. OK so I came across these and another pair that where hot pink. The hot pink had more reviews these had none. Big thing for me, like to know what people think of a product. I couldn't find any reviews not even on YouTube. But I did find out these where made by a DJ and the other pair where sold at Walmart. Ya... I wasn't crazy about the hot pink color any way. Originally I was going to order the styled version of the Sir Ike in pink (a lighter shade)(plus they had one review [albeit it sounded a bit like an ad]), but found out they didn't come with an optional cord. The pro does. This is a big thing because if your battery dies on you at some point you can plug them in and they work like a regular pair of corded headphones. So I ordered them in Pro. They are AMAZING!!!! I honestly can't tell the difference between them being Bluetooth and a regular wired pair. They're actually better then a lot of wired pairs I've used actually. Very deep bass for me any way, litterly if you turn up the volume all the way they vibrate and you can use them as a speaker. No joke. The speakers kind of pivot on the band so they fit very comfortably on your head. Not too tight either (so no headache), the fit just right. They block out a good bit of noise as result. If you have them at a reasonable volume level they don't leak noise, but if you have them cranked up there is a bit of leakage. The leather is super soft. And the padding on the speakers and band is cloud soft! I like the metel bands on it. And I like the simplistic look of the side buttons, the lite is awesome and draws the attention. Although I think that they need some type of raised surface so you can find the buttons while your wearing them. At least till you can remember where they are located. I don't like the shiney black plastic outer cover, but that's just my preferance (it showed smudges and finger prints). It keeps them light weight though, and reasonably priced so I'll live with it. It comes with a micro USB cable. Thank you for the ability to charge with my phone! I would have liked a cover on the outlet where the cord plugs into the headphones. I can live without it though. It's placed at the right side end of the head band with the speaker cups on the inside. The cord plug is on the left side. It is a great design and makes having them plugged in and wearing them at the same time no big deal and not awkward like if they where to have them placed on the cup like most Bluetooth headphones. They also fold up for travel. The speaker at the end works great as well. I use them mostly with my Droid MAXX and they make great calls. I was happy to see a year warranty on them when I opened the very cool looking box. Not lifetime but better then nothing I suppose. Overall I am extremely happy with this product. It is worth the money. It's definitely above and beyond the price range. Unlike some very expensive other Bluetooth headphones out there. I recommend to anyone needing a good set of wireless headphones. Will update after I've spent some more time with them on battery life and durability. I'm a clumsy forgetful person so we'll see how that goes...02/17/15 Update:OK, so I still have my headphones! I beat a record for how long I've owned a pair without killing them! Lol, that aside, I have had them for over a year so figured I'd update this. They still sound amazing and the battery life is still pretty good I get usually about 12 hours of heavy use out of them. I have put them through a lot, and am extremely rough on them. So that said after a couple hard drops the ear cups popped off disconnecting the wires. I soldered them back together, they worked fine afterwords, but I had to super glue the cups to the headband as the clips that usually do the job apparently brake easily after dropping them. But with the super glue I've not had an issue. The cloth covering the foam on the headband has come undone as well. Perhaps from sweat during the summer. I fixed it and have yet to have any issues. I am thinking of getting a different pair of headphones for nice occasions out and keeping these as my working pair. I still enjoy them, but they've needed some work and I wish they where built a little sturdier. Other then that I still recommend!

After having left a review of this companies on-ear version, I have to be less optimistic about this product and company as a whole. Both pairs have a tendency to crack in the arching head piece. This is after about a year of use, maybe less. Sound quality is solid. Functionality is fine as well and not hard to memorize. This product is not too expensive and I think I see why. Cheap materials. It's not worth the lack of reliability. Paired with the disappointment in the company never responding to a simple "care" question I sent them, that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I've moved on to a better quality bluetooth headphone and won't be coming back.

I absolutely LOVE these headphones. There is no other way to say it. I had originally bought the "stylist" version of these headphones and ended up returning them for this "pro" pair (you can see my review of the "stylist" headphones to see why I did not like them).These headphones are great for the price. They have amazing sound quality, great base, and sit AROUND the ear. This means I can wear them for extended periods of time (4+ hours) and my ears won't even know the headphones were there! They have a good amount of sound canceling (but they are not perfect). Bluetooth mode works without issues and the option to wire the headphones is great. These headphones also have a long enough charging cable that you can charge and listen from your computer.Overall awesome product. If you are like me and are on the edge between the "stylist" and "pro" versions, I would highly highly recommend the "pro" version.

UPDATE 11/05/2015: So barely two months pass and the headphones already malfunctioned. The buttons stopped working except for the play/pause button, no matter what mode I am in. This was not due to any doing on my part, as I used these only casually, according to instructions, and never roughly. I cannot adjust volume or skip songs using the buttons anymore. It's a MAJOR defect that would pretty much defeat the purpose of wireless connectivity for those who use it with their phone for music - you'd have to adjust your volume or skip songs the old way: through your phone. Charging it to full battery didn't help. What's worse, the product comes with this "warranty card" that claims the headphones are covered under a "1-year worldwide warranty," but gives you a bogus phone number (212-947-3790 "the number you dialed is not in sevice") and a bogus website (www.sirikeaudio.com - go check it yourself; it's a BLANK page). THIS IS A SCAM COMPANY selling defective products to unsuspecting consumers. Even after all the research I did I still unfortunately came across a fraud. Very disappointed that Amazon would sell their products here. The saving grace is that the order was fulfilled by Amazon, so they allowed me to return it even though this happened well after my return window had closed. Once I get my refund, I would have to continue my search...Old review below:------------------------I got these after returning another pair of cans that I didn't like. These are better and performed just about right for my expectations in this price range. My primary purpose for these is to practice on my electric piano without wires in the way; secondary purpose is to use them as a second noise buffer in noisy places/flights, and third to use them for gaming at night.SOUND QUALITY: 4/5The sound quality is solidly good for the price range. It has a balanced presence for treble and mid-ranges. The bass is a little subtle for my personal taste, but it does exist. The sound quality doesn't have the same clarity and dynamic presence found in high-end headphones, but I don't intend on using these for the ultimate audio quality experience. There doesn't seem to be a discernible difference in sound quality between wired vs. bluetooth mode, except the wired sound quality sounds a little more full-bodied (but that may just be the volume of my source being higher).WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY: 4/5These paired successfully to my phone and bluetooth transmitter for the electric piano, but sometimes it takes a while or even a few tries. It seems to remember the last device it paired with though, so it would instantly connect once you turn both devices back on again. The range on these bad boys are good. I used them at work and was able to get into the printer room, which was 20-30 feet away with a partition wall in between, and had no drop in connection, something that last pair I returned couldn't do. There is one thing, however, that bothers me: for some reason when I listen to music on my iPhone through these wirelessly, when a song finishes and the next song comes on, the next song always starts with jumps and bitrate glitch. The problem is somewhat cured if I skip back to the beginning. It doesn't happen when it's wired or when I'm listening wirelessly through my laptop. So maybe it's a combination of problem between the iPhone's music app and the wireless functionality. It's not a big deal, but I'd imagine it would be annoying for someone who wants to use these primarily for listening to music on their phone.FUNCTIONALITY: 4/5I tried using these on a PS3 (both wired and through my bluetooth transmitter), and it worked but it only had audio through one ear. The reason was probably because these weren't designed to accept stereo audio through RCA outputs (I tried the same thing with my other wired in-ear headphones and those got stereo just fine). I haven't got the cables needed to try it through PS3's digital output port; I imagine you'd have more luck there. I like the clean button layout and how they don't combine volume buttons with skipping songs, but unfortunately the buttons only work when you're in wireless mode.NOISE REDUCTION/ISOLATION: 4/5These block out some background noise. They are by no means perfect, but they do reduce some noise. I've taken them on my morning commute on the train, and they reduced some noise from the train. They don't leak any noise as long as you keep them on your ears when the music is playing (i.e. don't have them playing when they're around your neck; others would be able to hear your music faintly). I'll come back in a couple of months and report on how they performed on a flight as a noise dampener.BATTERY LIFE: 5/5One charge lasts about a day of continuous use. I haven't had any problems with it not charging or anything like that.COMFORT: 4/5These are comfortable, at least more than my last pair. Since they fit around the ears, they don't put pressure on the ears and don't hurt. I get about 3-4 hours of use on these before my jawbones get a little sore. They do make my ears a little warm. The only thing is I can't wear earrings with these on, because then it'd hurt.BUILD QUALITY: 5/5I haven't had these break or the earpiece detaching like some people said, but I've only had them for a little over a week. I'll come back in a year or so and finalize this rating. But overall I won't be using these in rough/vigorous situations.PORTABILITY: 5/5These fold up and they fit into my purse which is a satchel and isn't big. The weight is ok, not light, but not heavy either. The convenience of wireless connectivity is the best; I use them to work out at the gym as well and love being wire-free.THE VERDICT: I'm keeping these and will see how they keep up the performance over time. I'll be flying out a couple of months from now and then I'll get a better idea of how much noise on an airplane they block out. So far, except for the mono audio problem for gaming, they perform just fine for my purposes.
