SOUL Ludacris SL300MS Noise Cancelling Headphone

I just got the Soul Sl300MS headphones today and i had already looked up reviews of the headphones prior to actually ordering them. So i kinda knew what to expect. Well when i first opened the box that amazon had sent the headphones in i was a little surprised because the box of the headphones themselves looked different than the boxes i had seen of reviews on youtube. In my head of course i was thinking "Oh great i got a fake pair of headphones" but thankfully that weren't. I googled images of the exact same box that i received and found out that it is in fact the correct box they are supposed to some in, so don't panic if the box looks a little different than the others. The headphones themselves are actually really cool looking and they have great sound. A lot of people put down the headphones mainly because they say "They have too much bass or too much highs" but then again they are comparing them to headphones such as bose which seems to be for more "Business" type of people. Everyone knows that they are looking at this headphone because it has cool looks and better sound than your stock apple ear buds. Although one thing i had heard about these headphones is that they leak sound... a lot. This is true. I played music through the headphones at a decently loud volume and the headphones did leak sound. So don't plan on using these headphones in a library or something lol. I will say this though. If you do plan on buying these headphones, get them here on amazon while they are cheap because i have been watching the prices of the headphones for quite a while and the prices are always changing.

It's not bad. I actually like the headset. I struggled with the Noise Cancelling feature during the first week or so. I could feel the pressure to my ear when I turn it on, super uncomfortable, also adding the pressure inside the plane too. But, i later found out that was mainly because I was listening to training videos. Noise Cancelling feature work awesome when I listen to music (constant sound, full spectrum of base, trebble, etc... versus a single voice of a trainer). With music, I felt less pressure on my ears and actually really enjoy the headphone.Pros:- it works- light enough.- fit my big head. (i have a big head)- work in both Noise-Cancelling and non-noise-cancelling modeCons:- People can hear what I'm listening to if I turn on Noise-Cancelling in the office (flight is too noisy for neighbor to hear it, I think). Like I said, this is my very first headphone, so I don't know if this is how Noise-Cancelling suppose to work. I just don't like it, so it's a CON. :)- short cable. I ended up buying an extension core so I can use it on my desktop at home.- Big...

I purchased these based on the number of positive reviews. After receiving and using them for one hour, I wondered how many of those reviews were paid endorsements. I really wanted to like these but ended up returning them after just one day feeling gipped. Immediately after finding it on my front porch I proceeded to open the shipping box and started to read the product packaging. The first thing that I found disappointing was the claim: "Made in China." I didn't immediately remove the shrink-wrap saving that for the next day in the office. I was looking for some noise cancelling head phones to squelch the noise in a new office. So, after taking them out of the box I tried to insert batteries. The battery cover was flimsy and hard to remove and fit poorly. The whole set felt like cheap plastic. Next, I put them on and turn on the noise cancelling. I could hardly tell they were working. Well that was disappointing so I next plugged in my iPhone and played some music. That killed the outside noise but two seconds into my melody an adjacent cube mate sends me an instant message asking "Enya?" I'm like you can hear that? Yep, loud and clear. These things leak so much noise that it bothers others around me. Well I turned down the music and chilled until after an hour my ears were beat red and uncomfortable. Another coworker was wearing some BOSE QC15s and I asked how he liked those. He let me try them on and all I could say was "Wow." The difference was day and night. So now I'm waiting for my refund and new BOSE QC20s in the mail. Save your money! They're crap.

Unfortunately I was rather disappointed with this product despite the number of positive reviews about it. The sound it produces isn't bad, but it is definitely not fantastic. It just sounds normal. Bass sounds shallow. Vocals/Treble are not crisp. Somehow gives you sounds that do not sound dynamic. I once had a Philips headset which costs me less than $20 and that actually sounds better.Noise cancellation is ok. This is my first headset with noise cancellation so I do not know how good they can be. You can still hear slight noises outside, such as the fan blowing etc. Sounds produced are much louder with noise cancellation on so it might help in drowning out the noise outside.Build wise it is quite good. Plastic feels much more sturdy than Beats. Cushion at the top of the set is quite comfortable.
