Just posted my review over on Amazon UK:
No point copying and pasting it here! and it’s basically an update of the quick update I put on here the other day!
If going to Amazon is too much like TL;DR - here’s a very quick summary (read in your best Hulk voice!)
Headphones good
Sound good
No Bad…
Any questions let me know!
Nice review certainly on my list to test at some stage…
…might be wise doing a copy and paste of your review to here (if your partial to your reviews), just in case you fall foul to Amazon during a deleting spree of reviews like some have…
I had it wired to the xbox controller - not a huge gamer, didn’t even know I could have it bluetooth!
I haven’t tested the mic on it for xbox, see no reason it won’t work. I’ve never done voice chat on the xbox - that’s how hardcore a gamer I am!
Very pleased with them though, range was a nice surprise too.
On Neil’s recommendation, here is a copy of my review over at Amazon in case they decide to purge me…
So… Soundcore Vortex. Soundcore is a new offshoot from Anker - if their audio products are as good as their battery tech - we have a winner.
I’ve got one of the little bluetooth waterproof Soundcore speakers and was suitably impressed with that, hence buying these.
I needed some new headphones as my old corded in-ear ones are a bit broken! I fancied trying some over the ear ones for a change to see if they blocked out a bit more external sound. Yep - they sure do. The wife likes to sew, so with her sewing machine clattering away it was most distracting playing on my xbox with in-ear headphones.
Tried these out on the weekend and they blocked out a huge amount of sound. Not 100%, but then I can’t have that as I wouldn’t hear when she was nagging me then!
I have tried them both wired (xbox controller) and bluetooth-ly. No discernible difference in any audio quality, not that I confess to being an audiophile by any means.
Bluetooth distance was way more than acceptable, I was 2 x 30cm (12" for the Americans) brick walls away - around 8-9 metres - before sound started breaking up. I wondered why the sound was breaking up and then I realised I’d left my phone 2 rooms away. Pretty good in anyone’s book.
The box was reassuringly heavy when I received it, opening up the box and the semi-hard case supplied (contains 3.5-3.5 and USB charging cables in a neat little mesh pocket) is a great bonus. I also really like the little loop that is used to grab and unzip. means I can easily use a little carabiner and hook them onto a rucksack - great when travelling.
I also really like the fact that L and R are labelled into the headphones in great big letters. Maybe a small thing to some, but we’ve all spent ages trying to read a really small letter to see which side is which right? I don’t need to reach for my reading glasses to figure this out now. Again, small touches that go a long way.
Sound wise, really happy. I listen to mostly heavy rock, but have tried with a few acoustic tracks. Shinedown’s cover of Simple Man was fabulous! so clear… Heavier stuff, again fab. No issues to report at all. One of the reviews I read on Amazon US was that the buyer would have been happy with them at $150. I agree, didn’t think I’d be so impressed with such a small cost. I hate using the word cheap, as it has all sorts of implications. These are anything but - definitely on the more premium end of the scale. the hinges for when you fold them up into the case appear to be aluminium. I can see these lasting a long time.
Only negative I can find so far is that the ear hole is a little small. But I have pretty big ears! and the memory foam means it just molds to shape anyway - same goes for glasses, wearing my reading glasses with these on was no issue. I couldn’t really notice anything pressing in.
All in all, a great bit of kit - well happy for the price.
Thank you @Noel_Taylor for the info. I’m not a big gamer but thought I could have a go if I get some 
So is it comfortable for ear wearing?
Very comfy - the memory foam in the ear pads molds nicely to the shape of my head, even though my ear lobes catch a little.
I was quite surprised given the weight of the box and the solidity (is that even a word??) of the headphones, they really don’t feel heavy whilst wearing them. Wandering around the house, sitting playing my xbox I didn’t feel like I had a big weight on top of my head.
One other thing that I forgot to put in my review, there is barely any noise leakage too. I put them on full volume, which is nowhere near the level you would normally have them as they’re pretty loud, one of my engineers in the office could just - literally just - hear a whisper of noise.
I haven’t had as much chance to wear them as I would like as yet. I can’t wear them full time in the house as I wouldn’t be able to hear the kids shouting, now there’s a thought…
Thank you for your feedback!
