Kinivo BTH240 Bluetooth Headphones (Black, On-Ear, Wireless Music, Hands-Free Calling, Built-in Mic, Foldable, Memory Form Earpads, Travel Bag)

Bought to use as general-purpose laptop headphones at home. Good over-ear neckband headphones are difficult to find these days, and these haven't disappointed. Switching from wired headphones, the Bluetooth has been a revelation. Some reviews have complained about the lack of signal integrity, but I was able to wear them into another room without any interruption. No more snagged wires! I've had no issues at all with the battery so far. Out of the box, I tried to use them while charging, which they didn't like, but as long as they're either being used or charged, no problems. It claims to be able to last all day and, while I wouldn't wear/use them all day, they've been able to go for several days without charging. I turn them off when I'm not wearing them, which definitely helps! I love that they fold. Easy to stack away overnight, and they come with a velvet-style carry bag which makes them easy to carry in a bag. I'm no audiophile - I find the sound quality OK. Not super-high fidelity, but you wouldn't expect it at this price point and good enough is good enough. The comfort is similar to other over-ear headphones I've used: good, but I wouldn't want to wear them all day. Overall an excellent product, particularly given the price range.

I wanted cordless headphones but being conscious of price, opted for the Kinivo BTH240 Bluetooth headphones in white. The pros: - the headphones connect pretty easily to my iPhone - they are lightweight but stay securely on, even when I am running - the sound quality is decent. It's not amazing but over bluetooth, and considering I mostly listen to podcasts, it does an absolutely fine job - the battery lasts quite a while, and I use them constantly - I can leave my phone on charge and go about 4/5 metres away (or through 1 thin wall) and have no loss - basically so long as you are in the same room, or just outside the door of the room; it's fine The cons: - Noise cancellation is non-existent (Though I didn't expect any) so this means that when walking along a busy street, the traffic can drown out what I'm listening to. If you're at home, in the gym, on a quiet street; no problem, but if you are going to listen while commuting in heavy traffic, or some other loud environment, you will have to give up listening until you're in a quieter spot - Annoyingly, when listening on the headphones, and a call comes in, the call is sometimes routed to the phone, sometimes to the headphones, necessitating that I spend the first few seconds of every call checking if I can be heard, and fixing the source on the phone - As with probably a lot (or all?) bluetooth headphones, if I am watching a video on my phone, the lag between the image and the sound can be distracting Overall; I am very pleased with this product and I would certainly recommend it to anyone seeking a budget option for cordless earphones. If you have some more money to spend, and high quality audio is a priority for you, maybe look elsewhere but for the average user, these headphones certainly do the job.

I got these headphones after my old bluetooth ones broke, and I was a bit skeptical at first, mostly due to their design (usually headphones of this type tend to make my ears hurt and they leak sound everywhere) — but I was pleasantly surprised! Regarding sound-leakage, I have noticed some, but only when the volume is really high; and even then, the leakage is basically unnoticeable by anyone standing on more than arm's length distance. I personally hate headphones that leak out my music with a passion, so this fact alone would earn these ones five stars from me. As far as design goes, I found them really comfortable to wear. However, my head is apparently much smaller than I thought, because there's plenty of space between the headphones and the back of my neck, which makes it tricky (albeit not impossible) to listen to music while lying on my back (and as a writer who often finds her inspiration in staring at the ceiling with music in her ears, I do that a lot). I also have small ears, so the headphones basically cover them, which I find to be a good thing. The sound of the buttons took a bit of getting used to, because it felt really loud and plastic-y at first. I've had it for a few weeks now, though, and I don't even notice it anymore. The overall design is nice too, although they feel pretty fragile — they might not be the thing for you if you're prone to throwing your headphones on your desk/bed or dropping them (although my roommate did drop mine once, and nothing happened to them). All in all, very good headphones with very good sound, so far of more than good quality (especially considering their price). A bit tricky design for people with smaller heads/thinner necks, but not deal-breakingly so. The battery is great too; I use them basically every day, on my way to work, during work and after work, and the battery feels like it can hold for way more than 8-10 expected hours.

I really hate to give this product a 1-star review, but I feel it would be dishonest to do otherwise. I used the previous Kinivo BTH220 over 2 years straight, every day, without a hitch until the battery died out on me. I was going to buy a new pair, but it was discontinued and so I ordered this model. Big mistake. The single biggest issue I have with this headphone is the following behavior: once I turn the headphones on and they connect with my phone, there is no sound coming from videos or music. When I go to the bluetooth settings, the connection displays the "No media"-sign. Then I have to disconnect and re-connect, and hopefully it starts working again. This happens almost every single time I connect the headphones. It drives me nuts. Since day one I've had a whole host of connectivity issues: doesn't always pair on the first try, can't keep a steady signal when I have the phone in my front pocket and turn my head, doesn't play audio ("No media") and the list goes on. At first I thought the issue was with my phone, but after trying it out on three different ones, I've ruled that out. I contacted the seller "BlueRigger" who told me to reset the headphones. I reset them and they worked better for about a month, after which the headphones started to act out in the same way as before. I received a replacement headset, which again worked fine for a few weeks but then started to have similar connectivity issues. I have no problems with other bluetooth audio devices. I'm saddened by the quality of this product because I REALLY want to like it. In all other ways it's superior to the old 220-model: audio quality is much better, it looks more stylish, the blue LED is less bright, revised USB charger port. I have to give props to BlueRigger for their customer service: fast response and fast delivery after my second email.

I've used two pairs since 2016 which at the time cost 19.99. Loved the quality. Both pairs lasted about 2-3 years. Cheap price, nice sounding audio/bass and loved the fit. Doesn't completely cover the ear so it wouldn't feel suffocated or hot after hours of use. Didn't have any issues with connectivity as per other reviews. Good for range of 5m - never any issues when phone was in my pocket. At times wouldn't connect to phone but a simple on/off or manual connection would fix. This newest purchase however falls short of my expectations, I'm rather disappointed. Perhaps because I got used to using a gifted AKG N60 or maybe the quality just isnt the same. The audio quality is very clearly inferior. I use them as backup pair - not for music or movies. Maybe during sports or youtube. Won't be buying another pair in future. Obviously doesn't have noise cancelling due to fit design but for the price of 27+ I'm sure there are better options

Good sound and bass, good fit, good battery life, good materials and packaging and still no alternatives on the market. I bought them as a spare in case my Arctic Sound P253 BT dies, which are already 10 years old and still work well. These headphones are an analogue of the Arctic Sound P253 BT and I didn't notice any difference apart from minor design changes

A shame really. The headphones are comfortable and easy to use but the sound quality is bad. If you like base in your music then these are not for you.

I personally think the BTH-220 has a very slightly better sound output than this new version. I bought this to replace my old BTH-220 which I passed on to my father to use as a hands-free kit. I decided on these primarily for the micro-USB connector as I had nearly everything else powered off that and it saves me from carrying another cable/ charger when on the go. The rest of the specs are the same. The LED is a bit more discreet for those who are bothered with BT-220 but I wasn't fussed about it. Aesthetically I think the new BTH-240 looks better than the older model but they are still on-ear so not much discreet than the older one. The battery life is brilliant but it was equally good for BTH-220 as well. Both are still BT version 2.1 and support A2DP/ music streaming and will work as a good hands-free kit with any smartphone. I have tried them with Nokia, iPhone5s, iPad Air and Samsung/ Android phones and it connects and works like a charm. All in all it was a good buy for the price I paid (£13.95), but full price is maybe too pricey considering you can still get old BTH-220 for £14.99 and it will be equally good if you can live with the mini-USB charging interface.
