Most Helpful Favorable Review
By JewishEngineeron July 6, 2016 On 7 years ago
Love these headphones
Purchase was requested by one of my children, based on on-line reviews. After his came, three of my other children decided it was a must have, so they each requested one. The kids have been using them non-stop (3 iPads and 1 iPhone 6 Plus) for listening to music and playing games. They are thoroughly enjoying the headphones. PROS: audio feedback on power cycles. sound quality is great. ability to switch to a wired connection when power is running low. foldable with a storage bag price Not really any CONS. It took them a little time to get used to the switch controls, but now they're "pros" at it.

Highly recommended!
By M. Nizza On 12 June 2016
ZORO II headphones arrived in a few days, so I didn’t wait too long to try this product, that was strongly suggested to me by experts. I'm not a rookie, so I can recognize immediately an high quality product, and this didn’t disappoint my expectations! They are comfortable to wear and carry around, because they are foldable and easy to handle. Battery life is extraordinary, because Bluetooth 4.1 doesn’t consume at all, rather it makes the transmission faster, much faster than conventional wireless headphones. Sound quality is excellent, with no artifacts or external disturbances, because there is a total isolation of noise. Control buttons really surprised me: very sensitive to touch and intuitive for a quick check on and volume. I recommend this product to all the experts in the field, because they will not regret!

Amazing headphones. Style meets performance :)
By Dominic Chapman Northern Reviewer On 12 June 2016
The sound quality is fantastic, from the usage I have got out of them so far it has been immersive and does well at blocking out exterior sounds. They are extremely comfortable, I have had headphones in the past that caused my ears to ache, but I haven't had any problems with this product. The buttons on the headphones take a little getting used to, but its extremely simple. The bluetooth capability has been great so far, I've had them connected to my phone with no interference. The charge time is also pretty quick, I haven't had the product for very long, so I'm not sure how much playback time they actually have. I was extremely happy to receive this product. Overall: These headphones are a shining example of 'style meets performance'. They are beautiful and well-built and at the same time, they out perform most of the other headphones I have reviewed in this price bracket, some that even cost more money. Audio produced is amazing and honestly these felt like a fresh pair of shoes, they don't feel the same as other headphones, they feel better, they sound better and boy they are better. Pros: Brilliant design Great build quality Superior audio Long better life Cons Non at all

Lovley portable headphones wich i recommend very much!
By Philipp Finogenov On 12 June 2016
The headphones are inside a simple plain box. You get cabel a usb charge, and a carryiengpouch. Thats it. Simple. The box is smaller than from the previous Noontec Hd headphones. Coming to the build quality, it is plastic like other brands. Its not as high quality like from others but nice. The lovely aluminium Sign is very cool and sleek. This are nice parts that shows of the brand. Even when they look like "beats"but this is not true. They have just there own design. Alike like the aluminium parts between the foldmechanics and the speakers. When you fold the headphones they get very portabe,l but dont be sacred when you folding them they making a loud noise.I recommend these heaphones for porable useage very much. The comfort: i have a very small head. The fit very well. Clampingforce exactly that i wish. Because i searched something that hold on my head. You can even use them for the gym. when your are a lot on your smartphone you dont want use a cabel. When the battery is going out you can use your cable. The cussin under the headband, is very comfortable. After useage of hours the earcussin are not pressing your ears. You have only sweat. The sound, this is a sience for yourself. Because you should hear first of all your headphones. In my opnion it is very neutral but, with a nice bass impulse. So for hiphop rap i like them. very nice detailed, you can just sink in the music literaly. Yes i like the sound. Some people will not understand that only bass is not how good are a headphone should be sound. But when you want more live in your music you should work with an eq. The connection works well, maybe the first few seconds you will have some hick ups.It will welcome you with a sound "Power on" and "Power off" when you turn on the bluetooth.You can connect it to your notebook and walk a few meters, around two. Until know i dont have problems with the bluetooth connection. When you dont want to use the wirless feature you can just also put a cable. So the pros are light in weight fodable good sound price ratio bluetooth and when you battery is low you can use your cable cons clampingforce could be higher for my head fingerprints My Opinion it is hard to find a on ear that sound great, but i like the new model more than the old version. When you dont need bluetooth i would recommend the noontec zoro hd 2 normal. But for geeks is this a nice feature on your phone or Notebook.

orgeous design, superb sound quality, so comfy to wear with the protein ear muffs and love that flat matching red aux cable!
By closed On 12 June 2016
There is nothing better for me than having high expectations and having them not just met, but exceeded. These Zoro II High-Definition Wireless Headphones offer a stunning design, a premium build quality and a simply amazing sound. They arrived in a premium box and included in the box was a soft velveteen drawstring closure storage bag which is ideal for housing my new Zoro II headphones inbetween uses and also for transportation purposes. Included also is a black USB charging cable and the icing on the cake was the inclusion of not just an AUX cable, but a red Aux cable which features a flat design and a highly sensitive microphone for taking calls when wearing your headset. I love the flat red aux cable, as when indoors I often use an Aux cable with my Bluetooth headsets so as to conserve battery power, preferring to use Bluetooth only when laying in bed, cooking in the kitchen or relaxing in the bath and listening to an audio book etc. That matching red cable compliments the gorgeous design of this headset perfectly, is simple to plug in and the 24K gold plated connector looks great and of course offers a purer sound. When I took them out of the storage bag they were folded neatly as is often the case with wireless headsets nowadays and it was the work of seconds to unwrap them from their transit state. They do give a very satisfying click when you open them fully, I like that. I tried them on immediately. I love how they fit and feel when worn. The earmuffs are hand-made from protein cotton and they are so comfortable on the ears and I must mention the sound isolation, its very good! I have to be playing my music really loud before it can be heard by those close by me. I’m very impressed by this, the noise isolation not being totally perfect but certainly good enough for headphones in this price bracket. The premium quality headband is fully adjustable and although I didn’t have to enlarge the factory setting on my review headphones, hubby had to enlarge slightly for them to fit him. He loves the glossy finish of the headband, I like the mix of glossy and matte of the entire headset, its very appealing. Hubby said within a few minutes of trying them that they match the sound quality of the Beats headphones I bought him for Christmas last year! That miffed me a bit as those cost me considerably more than this superb headset would have done, but the comparison he made certainly does point out bluntly what excellent value for money these headphones represent, from the build quality through to the sound output. They are also very light to wear on the head, weighing in at around 145g only. I can and have worn these headphones for hours and they are so comfortable I barely notice they are on my head. The sound quality to me is spectacular and although I haven’t taken a call whilst wearing them as yet, I anticipate that will be a pleasurable experience too. Pairing with my iPhone and iPad was speedy and another great feature is that this headset can be paired with up to 8 devices and its memory function means it doesn’t forget. After that initial pairing all I need to do is switch them on by pressing the on button for 3 seconds and they pair instantly with whatever device is closest that they are paired with. It makes everything so simple when its like that. Battery life is up to 20 hours, which I think is remarkable. Its almost like they are not rechargeable, I have to recharge them so seldom. But, if you do run out of power, simply plug in the gorgeous red cable! There really is nothing at all to find fault with here for me, I simply love these and am favouring them at the moment over other headsets I own and everytime I use them I am exceedingly happy with their performance. My music sounds crystal clear and the base is very decent and when I play lossless files I am astounded, quite simply astounded. I doubt you could buy better than these in this price bracket. Apparently the Zorro II was two years in development and experienced tens of thousands of professional tunings. It was worth the wait for these to hit the market. They are a superbly priced, beautifully designed set of headphones and I really do very highly recommend them. Money well spent it would be! 10/10 for Design, Colour, Build Quality, Sound Quality, Packaging, Value for Money.

Premium quality headphones
By The Sethioz Project On 12 June 2016
From the box you can already tell that these headphones have amazing audio quality and bass, they're not as loud as some gaming headset, such as Razer Tiamat, but they have insanely good bass and quality for it's compact size. You can connect them via audio cable and plug them into any device that outputs audio via 3.5mm jack or you can connect it via Bluetooth There are 3 multifunction buttons: 1. play / pause / on / off / pair / battery indicator (click for play/pause and hold for on / off / pair and press twice quickly for battery) 2. volume + / next track (click for volume, hold for track change) 3. volume - / previous track Design is also slick and cool, Noontec logo is embedded into the brushed metal, which gives it a nice finishing touch. Cups are made of some sort of leathery material, it feels really nice and comfy and also makes sure to give good bass. It also comes with a small Noontec bag where you can store the headphones when not in use. and it charges via micro USB (cable included).

Cracking pair of wireless headphones that can also be used with supplied aux-in cable
By Amazamma On 12 June 2016
=== OVERALL === Overall, a stylish pair of portable wireless on-ear headphones that are great for listening to speech and music alike, producing a full range of natural sounds across all music genres. Quick to charge and with excellent battery life. I've been using the speaker wirelessly to listen to music on my smartphone and to watch iPlayer on my netbook.The headphones are also supplied with an aux-in cable for wired use. Available in a range of colours, though this bold black and red design is my favourite. === IN MORE DETAIL === - POWER - Charges in just 2 hours and last for hours and hours. Can be used wired rather than bluetooth even if there's no charge. - BUILD QUALITY & DESIGN – Bold black gloss and matte red styling (also available in other colour ways). Made of sturdy plastic with some metal parts, as well as the faux leather cushioned ear pads. Highly portable, folding into three to fit into a high quality branded soft drawstring carry pouch (around 21 x 14cm). Adjustable headband length (though they fit me without adjustment). - AUDIO QUALITY - Excellent sound quality. I listened to everything from classical to folk to World to rock to classical to dance/electric as well as talk radio and podcasts, and could hear all the instruments and the human voice clearly - the twang of a guitar, the ring of cymbals, the snap of the snare drum and the quality of the human voice all came through beautifully. The bass is well-defined with deep reverberation and power. Nice warm sound overall. These headphones are serious about sound. - LOUDNESS, LEAKAGE & NOISE CANCELLATION - Produces a big sound without distortion. There’s no noise cancellation effect and there is some noise leakage even though the ear pads do cup the entire ear (or at least my ear!). - COMFORT - The headband is adjustable to fit the size of your head. The headphones are lightweight so you hardly notice you're wearing them, especially with the cushioned head band and cushioned ear cups. - EASE OF USE - Easy to turn on (press the button on the left ear cup) and pair with your bluetooth device. Once paired, you can control the device with the controls on the right headphone and from your device itself. - BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY - The headphones can be operated wirelessly and claim a maximum range of 10m; I found the signal became patchy if I moved away more than a 3 metres. Can also be run from non-Bluetooth devices using an aux cable. - ACCESSORIES - Comes with a black USB charging lead, a red non-twist aux-in cable and an attractive, functional soft drawstring carry pouch.

Very impressive headphones!
By John Ryanon October 17, 2015 On 12 June 2016
Having reviewed on Amazon for a while, I was pleased to receive these really quite impressive quality bluetooth headphones in return for an independent and unbiased review. Really quite impressive pair of headphones for the money. Seems I’m not alone as “TrustedReviews” rated them at 8/10 and CNET at 8.1 overall. Just do a google search (after you’ve read my review first please!). What are they like? --------------------- I normally don’t like wearing over-the-ear headphones as I imagine I look a bit like a “Cyberman” from Dr Who, but for knocking around the house, I’ll make an exception for these - purely because of the superb sound quality - but more about that later. At 190g they’re nicely weighted, and surprisingly, lighter than the obvious comparison - the “Beats Solo HD” by Dr Dre at 260g. As you can see from the photos, they’re very stylish in black with red highlights, and appears to be pretty good build quality. Sound quality is remarkably good for the price, even my wife was really impressed. Very clear, and loud, and standing next to me, despite playing music at 80% volume she couldn’t hear anything - so hardly any sound leakage either. It was really easy to pair these with my iPhone 6 using Bluetooth and while I’d normally keep my mobile with me, and therefore close to the headphones, the music still kept playing despite being 20 feet away, even through an interior wall. Overall though - excellent value, and comfortable with really quite impressive sound quality. What’s the sound quality like? ---------------------------------- Firstly, I'm no audiophile, and these are the opinions of just a “bloke”, so I'll avoid any reference to frequency modulation, bright mid-range or harsh treble. Having said that, overall, I was pretty impressed, especially at this price point. I now have a standard set of “review tracks” and here’s how these headphones fared. The opening instrumental of "Teardrop" by Massive Attack is a great test of bass, and these headphones performed really well. There's terrific "thump" without it being muffled, and out of the surrounding instruments, Shara Nelson's voice comes like a crystal knife cutting through water. The equally thumping rock acoustics of "Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse sound terrific, and demonstrates these are great headphones for rock music. In terms of vocals, the haunting sound of Tom Yorke, lead singer of Radiohead is just wonderful on "Exit music (for a film)". Recorded in a basement recording studio to emphasise a natural echo, it's a pleasure to listen to, and the sound of the guitars building to a crescendo is wonderfully produced. For quieter moments, "Hollow Ponds" by ex-Blur and Grorilaz lead singer Damon Albarn is a terrific test track for detail, and again these don't disappoint. The backing sound of children playing, and even the creaking of a door are beautifully rendered, and clear to support the haunting lament of childhood memories. I even noticed the sound of birdsong in the background which I'd not noticed before. In short - wonderful. Finally, for richness of sound there’s nothing better to test a pair of headphones than the wonderfully rich and complex “Jackie’s Strength” by Tori Amos, and there’s a wonderful warmth in the sound produced. The piano sounds great, and the separation of vocals from the backing violins is clear and beautiful. Overall, it’s fair to say I was pretty impressed by the sound quality on these cans, again, at this price point, it’s really quite impressive indeed. What's Good about them? ----------------------------------- * Beautifully designed with great build quality. * Soft feel (velvet /sued) carry case and a stylish flat (no tangle) red headphone cable a bonus * Sound quality is superb - very impressive for the price * Comfortable to wear been wearing them for several hours without issue * Wireless! A real sense of freedom to listen to music without wires What's not so good? ---------------------------- * These clearly “look” like a copy of the (admittedly more expensive) Solo HD by Dr Dre - so you may have the “Mikey” taken Conclusion --------------- Nicely designed wireless headphones with great sound! Disclosure: I was kindly sent these by the manufacturer for an unbiased, independent review.

Fantastic Sound For Wireless Headphones
By Debbie Lee Wesselmann On 12 June 2016
Oh, my gosh, music of all genres sounds gorgeous through these wireless headphones. For anyone who thinks that Bluetooth headphones cannot deliver good sound quality, you haven't tried the ZORO II. The fit is so comfortable that I've been listening for hours today with little ear fatigue. As an even greater testament to the sound quality of these: I always listen to a variety of genres through new headphones, and one of those genres is classical music, not my usual listening choice. I started listening to Joshua Bell's Bach CD -- and I couldn't draw myself away. The sound (and the performance) is awesome. (More on the sound quality later.) I've been a fan of Noontec audio technology since I tried my first headphones manufactured by the company, but not all are created equal. In general, with Noontec, you get more than you pay for, although lesser priced sets cannot compete with some of their higher end products. Not a surprise, of course. No matter the price point and product line, however, all have excellent build quality. The ZORO II has a glossy black headpiece with ample red padding underneath. The on-ear pieces are padded for comfort and noise-blocking. The rlght/left sides are clearly marked. The adjustable headpiece expands and contracts using sturdy bars that fit into the headpiece itself. Buttons on the back side of the ear pieces are easy to reach and press, although you'll need to remember which button does what. These come with a microUSB charging cable, a ribbon-style audio cable (for wired listening), and a soft flocked pouch for storage. The earpieces fold inward for compact storage. Everything about these is sturdy and attractive. But, oh, the precision of the sound, especially surprising in a Bluetooth headset. Acoustic instruments and vocals are reproduced with excellent clarity. With these, you get well-defined bass and highs and everything in-between. The stereo is also excellent, and with the right track, you can close your ears and hear where the instruments/vocalists are located. For instance, with the Joshua Bell CD, the cellos are clearly stage left (on my right) with the violins stage right -- and the soloist just stage right of center. For rock, alternative, and pop: these are not bass-heavy but rather bass-defined. If you're looking for Beats-like bass, you should look elsewhere. Keep in mind, though, that Bluetooth technology will not deliver the higher quality of wired technology. The trade-off is greater freedom of movement. Listening through Bluetooth headphones, provided that they are good enough, feels enormously liberating. I had two problems with the ZORO II headphones. When I connected via Bluetooth to my computer, the audio repeatedly dropped out, probably because my computer is doing other things besides connecting to the headset. That problem was solved by using an audio cable. When I connected to my iPhone and to my iPad via Bluetooth, I had no connection problems or dropped audio. Music played as though the headsets were wired to the devices. The second issue is more minor: there seems to be no pairing mode on these and instead it goes directly into pairing mode when you turn them on but ONLY when the last device is not available. The headset automatically connects to the last device provided that it is available. To connect to a different device, you first have to manually disconnect it from the last device before you can pair it with another. It would be a design improvement if Noontec went the way of other brands and allowed you to hold down a button for 10 seconds to enter a new pairing mode. If you want to go wireless, I highly recommend these headphones. I haven't yet encountered a Bluetooth set that can match the sound quality of the ZORO II. Note: I received a sample for review.

All in all an excellent set of 'phones given the design
By Catherine M. Westonon March 9, 2016 On 12 June 2016
All in all an excellent set of 'phones given the design,(on ear type). Comfort is very good. Earpiece swivels are a bit "creaky". This was noticeably improved with a bit of Triflow lubricant. Pairing was painless and Bluetooth performance is on par with standards. Detail is very good with perhaps some emphasis on bass frequencies. Still bass harmonics are well controlled and notes are well articulated. Some mild irregularities in the bass to midrange response but high frequencies are nicely extended without excessive emphasis. Sibilants are natural sounding without "spittiness". Sound staging is good and imaging very good. Quality of construction seems very good. Overall a very good value for the price. This review compares this unit's sound quality with the Sennheiser HD 580.

Love these headphones
By Laurie W.on March 19, 2016 On 12 June 2016
I love these headphones! These are my first pair of wireless headphones so I can't compare them to other name brands like other reviewers on here have. But after reading all of the other reviews is ultimately why I decided to go with these and I'm so glad that I did! They fit well, the controls are easy to navigate and most importantly to me, they sound awesome!
