Impressive Sound Quality, Build and Functionality
This Fiil Diva Pro is one of the better wireless headphone sets I have used. From the moment I opened the beautifully designed packaging, I was impressed with the included hard sided zippered case with attached carabiner clip, in which the headphones were securely held. The ear pads of the headphones adjust in and out of the headband portion in a smooth motion with a perfect amount of friction that prevents slippage while wearing them, but which still allows for an easy glide for on-the-head adjustments. For compact storage in the hard case, the ear pads hinge inwards to touch the top of the headband, also in a smooth yet sturdy mechanical motion. From the incredibly soft leather-like material covering memory-foam padding on the ear cuffs and underside of the headband, to the interesting polymer/ textured hard frame of the band and cuffs, these headphones smugly sport their high quality build. They feel light and snug on, and this enhances the "My AudioFiilter" (MAF) noise cancelling features in this headset which can be turned on and off, and work very well- I can't hear my kids talking right next to me when listening to tunes. This Diva Pro even has a setting that cancels windy environment sounds.This set comes with a micro USB cord that acts as a charger and also allows you to download up to 4 GB of various format audio files (see my pic w chart on the supported formats) into the headset's internal memory's preset Cache file. This is called "Local Mode." It also comes w an audio cable (thick and durable feeling) that has an inline controller that works w both iOS and android, in case you don't want to use the Bluetooth Mode, that can connect w up to two devices simultaneously.There are a some very cool features with this headset as well, which I found unique: limited Voice Control and touch/swipe control on the broadside of the right ear pad. If you are in Local Mode- I downloaded some songs onto the internal memory- you can say, "hello Fiil" and she (female voice) says hello back w 3 very short tones. You can then ask for a downloaded song by name, which it will play. I've used this feature, and it worked about 8 out of 10 times - the other 2 times, i just had to repeat the sequence of "hello Fiil," wait for her hello back & 3 tones, and then say, "play....[song]". You can say, "hello Fiil" in the middle of a song, as well, and she responds. This control is nifty, but limited, since you can only really ask for one song at a time, and no other types of voice requests are supported. Still, if you want to hear a specific song in your 4GB of songs, it's nice to have this feature. You can also use the button controls of course, featuring shuffle and some limited playlist/ favorites management. In order to use the voice control and to manage your audiofiles, you need to download the Fiil App, which is useful anyways, because you can also use their equalizer and some preset "3D Sound" effects like "Living Room," "Theater," or "Hall." The second unique feature on this headset is that the outer part of the right ear pad is actually a touch controller, and a swipe up or down on your right ear adjusts volume, and a swipe left or right moves you forward or back one song. This is a very convenient, since it uses gross motor movements vs. having to fumble around to find the exact right (small) buttons and click click click.I've been listening to my AmazonMusic Apps Top Prime Songs via Bluetooth while writing this review, w MAF noise cancelling and swiping to adjust volume and songs, using the Theater 3D effect. Pretty awesome. Most importantly, the sound quality of these phones is excellent. The experience is immersive w powerful dynamics for a smaller headset, esp. at the bass range, which I can feel in my chest. The resolution at the mid-ranges allows for richness and articulation of vocals, where I can even hear the breaths between words and lovely sighs. The treble is decent, if not spectacular, but marries the rest with a good balance at the higher octaves. So maybe these would not be the pinnacle for your top operatic soprano arias, but really, "that'll do Pig, that'll do."I recommend these headphones highly.

Bluetooth failed after one year of use.
These headphones worked well enough, though the adjustable size caused them to shift on your head while walking. After one year of use, the bluetooth simply stopped being recognized by any of my devices. The headphones still work with the wire, but are now effectively useless for the purpose I purchased them for. Would not recommend.

[UPDATED] Very good headset with some limitations
Update: The headphone stopped working correctly. As a reference our much older Jabra headsets (both of them) are working fine for several years more than the FIIL Diva Pro. It looks like FIIL no longer lists this product on their web site, so I am not sure whether I would be able to get them fixed at all.Original Review [6/25/2017]: (4 / 5 stars)These are excellent portable headsets. I have been using them for about a month now, and have been swinging between four and five stars during this time. They have great sound isolation, very good connectivity and range, good sound quality, but annoying controls, and questionable design decisions. While every headset will have pluses and minuses, this was rough diamond in the making.First of all sound quality is good. Even when connected thru Bluetooth it is very satisfying, and if you use a wired connection, especially with a proper DAC which can drive ~500 Ohms, it will sound even better. My only concern is the over compensated bass range. If the song is also trying to boost up bass, the end result is a bit muffled. Since there is no proper equalizer (the app based one has only three presets, which does not work for all songs), this causes a limitation for some songs. However for most ones it will sound just right.It has some decent Bluetooth support, specifically, you can register it with multiple devices, and connect it to two at the same time (it will still use one of those, but at least you can receive phone calls, while, for example, listening to TV wirelessly). The range was very good, about 50+ ft in open areas, but walls cause limitations, like many other wireless devices. I could say you can only visit next room comfortably, but nothing further. Of course it is also possible to use wired connection to prevent lossy Bluetooth audio. My LG V20 detected this as a higher impedance device with about 500-600 Ohms range, which enables higher dynamic range with a proper DAC. The wired option comes with a switch to use with both Android and iOS controls.Speaking of controls, it comes with "touch" style controls which never properly work when you need them (on the run, or while doing an errand), and generally need some stopping, aligning, and retrying. Fortunately basic things like play / pause are done by a physical button, and volume controls have an alternative mode where you hold the top and bottom areas, which are easier to hit, than trying to do a proper up / down motion exactly in the middle.Also there are some design choices, which might limit the long term life of the device. Specifically, I could not find battery or ear cushion replacements. As a person who likes to keep headphones for many years these are important limitations. They do wear out, and not being able to replace them means, eventual need to replace the headset itself. Also the cans fold only inwards, while comparable headsets like Bose QC 35 can rotate around two different axis, allowing them to "lie flat". This is very useful it you place them in a backpack, reducing the stress on the device joints, increasing the life of the product.However even with these limitations it is a very good headset to have, with very good sound quality, and good comfort.
