Excellent Headphones

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2018

I bought these headphones for my wife as she was using ear buds, but wanted some nice noise cancellation headphones. For this review, I used them for about a week when I received them.

Overall, the headphones, light, attractive and very comfortable. They come with a carrying case, USB charging cable, 3.5mm Aux cable, airline headphone adapter, and a 3.5mm to 6.5mm converter. They are fully adjustable and fit well on the head. The pads are nice and soft and do not hurt the ears after hours of use. The are also detachable so they can be replaced if needed.

The controls are easy to find and use while wearing them. Pairing is simple and the volume and skip works as expected. When using with your phone, a nice chime indicates an incoming call. You can use the controls to reject the call or answer and end the call. The microphone works well and the audio is clear to the person on the other end.

The noise cancelling works very well - I have to wave at my wife or yell real load to get her attention when she is using them. I used them on our trip to the in laws for Christmas (the wife was driving) and they got rid of the car and engine noise.

The sound quality is excellent!! It is very crisp and much better than my Sony headphones and others I have used in the past.

The battery time is excellent also. They advertise 30 hours of use on a full charge. I am not sure how long me or my wife used them but is was quite a few hours and we have not had to charge them yet.

They also come with an 18 month warranty. I would recommend these to anyone!!!

Not sure about all these raving reviews; not worth $100

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2021

These headphones are not terrible, but once you consider the price, they are unacceptable. The noise cancelling is okay at best, but not worth the $100 (and I'm assuming the noise cancelling is what drives the price of these up). The noise cancelling will cancel out low hums (like fans; couldn't test on an airplane due to COVID), but it's nothing special. These headphones also offer no passive isolation on their own. You will everything around you as if you didn't have any headphones on. Some people may consider that a plus, but you can't really block out everything unless you play music pretty loud. Sound quality is not much better than any headphones you can get for around$25. Sound quality is also notable worse if used with noise cancelling off or in wired mode.

I think they sound best with hiphop/anything with a lot of bass. The bass is not that great, however, and at higher volumes, the headphones present almost a buzzing sound. Similar to the sound of a blown out speaker, but it's very subtle.

I got the teal/green color and was very fond of the color, but the headphones and the box they came in had a very strong plastic smell that was not pleasant. And while everyone's head is shaped different, these headphones clamped right where my jawbone joint is and it was very uncomfortable. If these were $30 headphones, I probably wouldn've kept them but at $100, absolutely not.

Want a great set of headphone at a more reasonable price - this is what you are looking for!

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2018

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

What a great set of headphone. I own a couple pairs of the Cowin E7 headphones (two different colors). When I saw there was an upgrade called SE7, I had to get a pair and see if they were really "NEW AND IMPROVED". I am pleased to say that the SE7 live up to the hype.

Appearance, fit and comfort - Cowin has made internal changes in the past. WIth the SE7's have a new, more compact look and feel. I find that the SE7 and E7 are both equality comfortable when it comes to padding. The SE7 seem to be a bit tighter fitting but that could simply be because the earpieces tilt in more than the E7. I have had the E7 slide a bit on my when leaning over working in the yard - nothing big but needs the occasional adjustment. The SE7 do not shift around at all. Physically, the SE7 seem a bit sturdier - but that could simply be an impression. My E7 has taken a good deal of abuse and have not had a single problem.

Sound quality - I was completely satisfied with the sound quality of the E7. I tend to be audiobook listener with the occasional switch to music. I was VERY surprised to see a sound improvement with the SE7. I am not an audiophile, but it does seem that the sound is a bit richer and deeper.

MIC function - I haven't had a chance to use the mic function yet. I don't often use the mic with this style of headset.

Active Noise Cancelling - The active noise canceling is amazing on both the E7 and SE7. When both work so well, it is hard to pick which is "better". I can run a backpack blower and easily hear the soft sounds without cranking up the volume.

Battery Life - I have been using these SE7 for more than a week and have yet to charge. Kind of hard to critique if you can't find the end of the battery life.

So which is better- that is really hard to say. I would have been 100% satisfied using my E7 for a long time and would have never missed the sound and comfort improvements. Now that I have them in the SE7, I will use the E7 as backups only. Which should you buy - you can't go wrong with either one. It will come down to your budget and style preference.

High quality sound and super comfortable

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018

The new SE7 head phones are light and super comfortable. I was working on a project for about 4 hours and almost forgot I had them on. The stereo sound quality is fantastic and they block out the surrounding noise. It was impressive considering our dogs make a ton of noise. I was able to take phone calls while working and according to a friend of mine they sounded great win their end. These headphones are as good as advertised and a great price.

I highly reccomend the Cowin SE7 headphones!

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2018

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I received these headphones several days ago and immediately and anxiously unboxed and charged them so I can test them out. I already have the Cowin E7 Pro, that I happen to love, so I was anxious to compare the performance to those.
These new SE7's have a very simple and sleek look, I really like that. They may not be as "showy" as the E7 pro, but I like it that way. I started to charge them, and realized shortly thereafter that they were fully charged from the factory, so that was a nice surprise!
I tried them on for comfort, and all I can say is WOW! They are sooo comfortable. They feel light and soft on your ears. The cups are angled in reference to the headband, so they fit perfectly over my ears, and give a perfect seal. They are MUCH more comfortable than the E7 Pro (and I thought those were comfortable!). My only complaint is that the pivot points for the ear cups seem to make a creaking noise when the headphones move around as I walk. It's not a big deal, I know I'm being picky, but felt I should mention it.
I started off by testing the noise cancelling function first. As with other tests that I've done, I used different test noises such as Vacuum cleaner, fan, humidifier, lawn mower outside, etc. The noise cancelling function on these seem to be a HUGE improvement over the older headphones. Even though the older ones were also good at filtering noise out, these are even better, and more importantly, the noise cancelling function is practically silent when turned on! The E7 Pro's, as well as most other headphones (costing multiple times more) have a slight white noise hiss when that function is turned on. This was VERY impressive to me.
I then made a phone call using the headphones. The person's voice was loud and clear, and they said I sounded very clear as well. I don't like using that function because I find it annoying when I speak and hear my voice muffled in my head because of the headphones. Just a personal thing for me, but if you like using them for phone calls, they will perform fine.
And finally, I tested the sound. I tested them with a Bluetooth signal, as well as with a wired connection. I also did a wired back to back connection comparing them to the E7 Pro, using a high end pre amp and a good source. I listened to various types of music as well. At first they sounded VERY similar to the E7 Pro, but I tried very carefully to come up with differences. Initially the E7 Pros sounded like they had a little more pronounced bass, and possibly "better". However, as I listened more (especially with a wired connection and a good source), I started to realize that the Bass wasn't that much weaker with the SE7's, it was just more accurate. The mids seem to be more accurate and clear, and the highs were too similar to hear a difference. Overall, they both sound great, but I slightly prefer the sound of the SE7's if I had to pick.
Taking everything into account. The comfort, the noise cancelling, and the sound, I honestly can't see how you can beat the SE7's. I HIGHLY recommend them if that is the price point that you are looking for.

For its price it’s very good product

Far cheaper than beats at only around $100. Material is good. Compactable. Comes with cord to hook up to your computer and a jack to hook into an amp. Carrying case is nice as well. I was impressed with the noise cancellation as well.

They are a great value for NC headphones

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2019

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I've been using the new SE7s for over a week now. Both at home, office, and the library. The sound on these is really good. They are bass heavy for those that like that music with lots of thump. But they still give enough sound to the mids and highs that you can listen to most if not all music just fine. I was comparing these to my Sony MX1000 M2s. So a high bar to meet. These did hit harder than my Sony's in any hip hop or pop song and I kind of digged that. I could see how these would be good to wear when I need that extra BOOM when working out or just needing to get pumped up. As far as noise cancelling they are better then the older models Cowin has but not as good as the M2s. But that is not a fair comparison as one headphone cost me under 100 and the other 300. For the price these are really good and a great way for folks to get NC at a better price than 300+. As for the build quality I like the SE7s they feel sturdy and the ear cups are very comfortable. They are also just light enough that they feel great on your head but heavy enough to make you feel like you wont break them. I also like this design way better than the old Cowin E7 model. These are more sleek and understated as well as fit a lot better on my head. The E7 always felt a bit tight and looked so big I felt like they stood out for the wrong reason. The SE7s mean while are nice and minimal. I love the matted black and how it doesn't have the shinny chrome like the E7s. The controls are also better than the old E7s. They are more intuitive and easier to use. The battery life is also a lot better than the E7s and I was able to use these all weak before I had to charge them. I use them about 2-3 hours a day and about 5-6 on weekends when studying. I like how these come with a carrying case and that it has a nice internal pocket for the charging cable, inline cable, and airplane connector to be stored in. All in all these are a great value for the money. You won't find any better headphones in terms of NC, look, feel, and comfort for 100 bucks. If you want some great sounding headphones with solid NC features def check the SE7s out!

Updated 11/24/18- really love them. So comfortable!
Cowin’s best headphones so far. These are a great, comfortable, easy to use headphones. I like these much better than the E7’s.

1) these are even more comfortable than previous models and rival much more expensive brands.

2) I love the sound. Bass is a mixed bag but I find them to be accurate and easy to listen to.

3) the mic is solid and works great for calls.

4) the noise canceling is better than the E7’s..not as good as $350 models, but you can’t beat it for $100.

5) Finally, the whole package is great. They look better than ever and are lighter as well.

Amazing sound quality with promising Active Noise Cancellation

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2019

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Let me start with my struggle in finding a good pair of Headphones. I am a music lover and love to listen to music around 6-8 hrs daily. I started reading about every headphone available in the market with all the top brands and came across 2-3 sets which really made me think a lot. I compared Skullcandy, Cowin, Sony in the range of $100-150.

Cowin is a very promising brand I feel, I went through many reviews before purchasing SE7. Their E7 was the best seller and SE7 is an upgraded version with some new advanced features. It has got a decent Bass, Outstanding vocal quality if you listen to podcasts , instrumental music, Pop music these are best. I had an amazing experience until now. Battery performance is as promised I hardly charge them 1-2 times a week. I have tried the Active Noise cancellation at the workplace in a busy environment and I felt it's just what I was searching for, You can enjoy music and filter the outside noise effectively. This is my first ANC Headphones and I am surprised by the quality and comfort. The earpads are extremely comfortable and can be removed to clean that's a very good provision Cowin has given. Build quality is excellent. Headphones come with a carry case that I loved as you don't need to worry about keeping them safe in a backpack, carrying case takes care of it and they are foldable which makes the task easy. Perfect for indoor as well as outdoor use.

I would recommend trying them once if you are looking for a perfect set of Headphones with all these features.

Sound great and Active Noise Canceling Technology is very impressive.

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2019

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Pros:
ANC reduces outside noise by about 75%
Sound quality is very good, no breakup or distortion when used with bluetooth.
Uses either bluetooth 5.0 or cable connection, cable supplied.
All controls are on right earpiece.
Set is light weight and ear pads are extremely comfortable, fit nicely around the ears to seal out noise.
30 hour use between charges.
Includes an adapter to plug directly into older model airplane audio that is on the arm rest.

Cons:
Bluetooth is tricky to connect on multiple audio devices.
Do not grip head tightly enough for jogging or exercising.

I wore this headset for about 10 hours on a plane trip and experienced no fatigue at all. The light weight construction combined with the adequate but not too snug tension on the ear pieces made this the most comfortable set of headphones I have ever worn; I hardly realized that I had them on. The sound is full, even at low volume, and they sound great. I estimated that they reduced ambient noise by about 70% as I was sitting right next to the plane engine and only heard a low noise which was easily masked by the music that was playing. When I removed the headphones, the engine noise was so loud I could barely hear the person talking right next to me. So while I've never had those $200 - $300 noise canceling headphones, I can't imagine them doing much better than these. They have a built in microphone on the ear piece, but I have not used them to receive or make phone calls, so I don't know how well the microphone works.

All controls are on the earpiece, so while you can certainly use them with the supplied cable if you wish, you can't control anything from the cable.

I first paired the headphones with my iPad to watch a movie. They paired quickly and easily by following the directions that are supplied with the unit. After I changed planes, I decided to just listen to music so I wanted to use my iPhone. No matter what I tried, the headphones kept pairing with the iPad which was in my brief case. I had to take out the iPad, go to settings, and "forget" the headphones. After that, I followed directions again to pair with the iPhone X and it worked with the phone after that. To go back to the iPad, I had to repeat the process. I don't have to do that with other wireless headphones I own, so that was a bit of a hassle. I did attempt pressing both up and down volume buttons so the headphones would forget the previous attachment, but that didn't seem to work for me.

If you exercise or job, these will most likely slip off your head as they do not grip very tightly, but that keeps them comfortable during long periods of use.

I'm convinced these are the best quality headphones for the price if you need noise cancelling technology.
