Great wireless 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.

Outstanding BT headphones!
By DTon June 16, 2016 On 12 June 2016
I got Zoro II Wireless (BT) headphones as a birthday gift from my brother about 4 months back. I am very happy with the headphones so far. I have tried other BT headphones prior to these and was not very happy. I seem to have hit a sweet spot with these. My detailed review based on personal use follows. Hope this helps you in taking a decision. Sound: Much-much better than other BT headphones I have tried, though still not on par with some in-ear premium wired earphones I have used. This is one of the best sounding BT headsets I have tried. In fact, it is better than most wired earphones I have tried. Bass is just right, not excessive or underwhelming, and clarity of instruments-vocals approach premium in-ear buds. I mostly use this for music-audiobooks listening and TV watching. Sound quality is excellent. There is no static/hiss at any time. Great sounding headphones! I carry these on flights and get good noise protection. However, there is no active noise cancellation. Microphone: I do not use these for calls at all. I did test out the microphone and found it good. However, I did not test/use this feature in different scenarios. Comfort: Very light weight compared to other BT headphones I have tried. The pads are soft and do not cause discomfort even when used for long duration (maximum I have worn is for 5 hours straight). These are on-ear types but do not press on your ears uncomfortably. I did not experience any pain even after prolonged use. It does get warm underneath after about an hour or so, and sometimes there is some light sweat. I usually just do a little wiping and carry on. However, I think in warm places (think beaches, outdoors on sunny days) these will be tough to use. Battery life: Excellent! I get more than 24 hours per charge which is much more than what I need. I charge it about once every two weeks when using every day. When not used, it seems to hold the charge for months! Full charging takes about 1.5 hours for me. I have not tried charging while it is playing... have not felt the need to do so, so far. Build: Feels premium and sturdy. Materials used are very good. Plastic frame is smooth and padding material is soft leather type and feels premium. The folding junction is usually the place where I am most scared of a break. This one doesn't feel like anything is going to break soon. However, I am getting some 'plasticky' sounds sometimes when I significantly adjust the positioning of the phones on my ears. It is not loud and appears when there is some light 'twisting' involved, but it is there. Again, I don't get a feeling like anything is breaking. Connectivity: There is no separate mode for connecting. When you switch the set on, it immediately goes on a quick-blink search mode. You then look for 'Zoro II Wireless' on your device and connect. Once connected, it settles on a long-blink connected mode. Couldn't be easier! It usually connects in about 5-10 seconds and 'remembers' all of my 6 devices. Seemingly it can pair with 2 devices though I haven't tried that out so far. Range is about 30 feet when there are walls in between and about 50 feet when there are no walls around. When in this range, I have not had the signal drop out (or any kind of static) so far. I have used these with iOS, Android phones and LG, Samsung smart TVs. No issues so far with any device. Features: You can use in wired mode (cable is included). It is fold-able. There are volume buttons on right cup. Track forward-backward buttons are same with longer press. Supports NFC which I have tested with my Android phone (it works) but don't really use. Design: Very well designed with premium and stylish looks. I have the black-red ones. Buttons are understated but still easy to feel for and use without having to look (once you know what is where). The light indicators are muted and not flashy. You (or your partner) will not be distracted even in a dark room. I like this! The headband thickness and padding is also great. Folding is well implemented and saves space when storing. Controls: There is a switch on/off button next to a very small indicator on the left cup. There are volume buttons combined with track forward-backward buttons on right cup. You can also connect through NFC. Accessories: A micro-USB charging cable, a male-male 3.5 mm stereo audio cable for wired operation, a small instruction booklet and a velvet feel carry bag is included. The 'disadvantage' of long battery life is that I lost my audio cable in some airport. I think I took it out for trying and didn't realize I'd lost it till about a month later. It is not very easy to get the folded headphones in or out of the bag. The opening should have been a little wider. A hard shell carrying case would have been better. I am planning to buy one if I can find one for these headphones specifically. Support: They reached out to me next day of the purchase offering support and help with any questions. I also connected with support through email for some clarifications and received a reply within hours. Seems good. Value: These are the best BT headphones I have tried so far. Based on what I am getting out of these, I would definitely rate them fair value. They should include a hard shell carrying case for extra protection though, at no extra charge. My overall rating would be 5. If features include what you want and price is in your budget, I would recommend these highly.
