Arc On-Ear Bluetooth Headphones with Wireless Music Sharing, Customizable Color Ring, Touch Controls, Spotify Apple Music Integrated iPhone Android App - Black

I needed a new pair of bluetooth headphones, and bought a pair of these Arc's after looking at their kickstarter and website.Pros: Great sound quality, touch functionality, firmware updates, light rings, audio sharingCons: Sit a little tight on the head, don't foldSound: I'm not an audiophile, but from my experience, the Arc's sound quality is on the mid-high spectrum for the $200 bluetooth headphone range(Better than Beats/Bose, below Audio-Technica)The range is very good, and the bass is not too heavy, which is a common problem on other headphones of the same price range. My roommate who considers himself an audiophile thinks highly of the sound quality.Build quality: Materials used are solid. Love the matte finish that definitely won't chip, unlike some shinier finishes. The memory foam cups cushion the ear very nicely and the padding on the band is great. The Arcs are definitely the most flexible pair of headphones I've owned. They fixed the issue with headbands snapping on the previous edition of the Arcs, which is great. I can stretch them a large amount without worrying about them breaking, which makes taking off the Arcs very convenient. My only issue with the build is that the Arcs aren't foldable, but thats just a small inconvenience for me. The fit was a little tight, but after a few weeks (and stretching the headphones across the box), I got used to it.Audio Sharing, Touch, Firmware: The main software feature of the arcs is its wireless audio sharing which you can read more about on the company's website. My roommate owns an Arc, and it is extremely convenient to share audio seamlessly and quietly, which is very convenient especially during study sessions. The ability to easily listen to each other's music really helped expand my own music taste, which was a very nice surprise. The touch controls are all simple and convenient to use, so I don't have to touch my phone at all when I want to pause, change volume, switch songs, or start audio sharing. I love how the Wearhaus team continuously improves the Arcs by sending out firmware updates. I can now use the Arc's microphone, and hopefully active noise canceling in the future!Extra: Bluetooth connectivity works great for both my phone and laptop. I definitely recommend downloading the free companion mobile app. It allows you to see the battery life and maximize the light ring's capability. On that note, the light ring is easily the most standout physical feature of the Arc. I get compliments and questions when I walk to class or take public transit, especially when I start to play around with the colors. It truly does add a personal feel to the headphones.All in all, great pair of headphones. Definitely would recommend.

The sound quality of these headphones are amazing and they look great too. Their custom lighting really sets them apart from all the other headphones out there. The earpieces are really nice, soft, and comfortable. The faux leather on top and around the earpieces feel really great too along with the memory foam. They feel really nice and comfy but I wouldn't wear them for more than 2-3 hours since you might get a little weary.I ordered 2 pairs for myself (black) and my girlfriend (white). The white ones have been great since day one but the black ones have had their defects such as chipped bits, strange stains on the matte black surface finish, and not connecting properly. I had to order a replacement for my pair. After receiving the 2nd pair things were better. However, there was still a minor surface discoloring where a few spots on the headphones was darker than the rest strangely. Connection was better also, but I barely owned the 2nd headset for 11 days, used for at least ~12 hours charged fully once since its replacement before the headband fractured on top from me taking them off one night. I did a little research and found that the company had issues with the headband breaking on a few of their early releases during their Kickstarter. So, maybe I'm just unlucky. 3rd times the charm I hope.

EDIT: I busted my headphones out once again only to find that the company is gone. No app to even turn the LED functions on. Still work after being left in a drawer for the last few years though.I will stick to my beats studios.Arrived very fast. So far so good. Still learning the controls so they are not responding sometimes or I accidentally activate Siri! I replaced 2 of my LED wireless headphones (one ECandy another a different brand but exact same) one the battery last less than 5 hours the other one used to last 8 hrs without LEDs but now only lasting about 6 hours and sound leaks through the metal "mesh" where the LEDs show from. So I had to be careful with how loud and which song I listen to. Now with these headphone, I don't hear any noise leaks and I don't have to worry about it.These headphones also fit nice and secure to my head/ears and I wear glasses and these are still comfortable.I love the app because I can change the colors of the headphone. I think it would be cool to have one side one color and the other another color.Overall, these are great headphones so far and I don't really hear outside noises too much. :) I still think the price is still a bit high and I wish they were foldable but like the headphone stand it came with in box. =P

The sound quality is pretty good. You will definitely turn heads with this. The color customization options for the lights are impressive as well. Never had a problem connecting. The battery life is pretty good too. So why not a 5 star? Too big issues for me. People always know I'm on it cause my voice sounds low and muffled. I have to talk loud, especially if I'm out side. Bigger issue, the band is too hard a plastic and cracked in the middle. Now I'm a a pretty athletic guy with a passion for bt everything. I figured I was just to ruff with them. Bought another pair, same crack, same place. Both pair within a months time. Not all the way through, the padding does a good job keeping them together, but they constantly feel they'll break any moment. I love these babies, buy I usually wear them just to show off.
