  1. Q4 202593/1005.0★3 reviews

    Buyers praised sound quality and comfort, using these headphones for quiet TV watching. Battery life is excellent, but some interference with microwave and Google TV stick was noted.

    • Great sound quality, surround sound, and bass boost for TV use
    • Excellent battery life lasting over 5 hours and comfortable cushions
    • Comfortable but faux leather may chip or crack over time
    • Interference when using microwave or Google TV stick in another room
  2. Q1 202190/1004.7★3 reviews

    Buyers praise sound quality, comfort, and dual headset support; minor criticisms focus on control button layout and power button design.

    • Excellent sound quality and comfort for TV listening, especially with low volume dialog.
    • Controls are tightly spaced, causing accidental presses; volume button layout less intuitive than older dials.
    • Rechargeable battery system and easy setup are well received.
    • On/off button requires holding for a few seconds, which may confuse users.
