Pioneer Bluetooth and High-Resolution Over Ear Wireless Headphone, Silver (SE-MS7BT-S)

It's a very early review as I got these headphones just today and was listening for about 3 hours.First of all, they look and feel gorgeous and imitates a classic studio monitor headphones with aluminum side panels - totally love this metal feel. The drawback is they are huge and not foldable, no case either. I would say they are great for home/office use and for air travel you may want something more compact.ComfortI would say it's 4.5, little less comfortable than HD 4.40 and little heavier. But still pretty comfortable for me.SoundThe wireless sound (S8+ with Oreo 8.1/AptX + Tidal Hi-Fi/FLAC source) is decent, no hissing, separated mids/highs, the bass is present but not overwhelming (and I like it), a sound stage can be better but for a wireless headphone, it's more than ok. There is no ANC (which is good) but a passive noise isolation is very good.I haven't tried yet a Hi-Res audio over a wired connection. Anyway, these are the wireless headphones and if you plan to use them in a wired mode than you better look for a pro level wired-only headphones connected to a good amplifier — they will always sound better than ANY wireless headphones.So far I've tried at home three wireless over-the-ear headphones and found these Pioneer the best for me:1. JBL Quincy Jones - total junk with a plasticky sound (~$140). Looks like garbage, fits awfully. Just avoid it.2. Sennheiser HD 4.40 (~$100) - I wanted to love them — they look good (all plastic though), foldable, sits perfectly over the ears (comfort is 5+++) and sounds just beautifully ... over the wired connection. The wireless sound was a complete disappointment for me - bleak, occasional hissing and just bad overall. I tested on S8+ Nougat, maybe it was a problem with this combination. Got Oreo 8.1 update now which states to improve a wireless sound.3. Pioneer - my choice so far.I also briefly tried Beats (no way) and Bose QC35 (sound is not better than Pioneers, I don't need ANC, looks utilitarian and they cost almost 4x more).

These are my new favorite headphones.They paired easily and had some charge so I could check them out immediately. The headphones came with a USB charging cable and a cable for using them as wired headphones.Over Bluetooth they sound very good. Except for the power on and pairing beeps there was no noise from the electronics at all. Other headphones I’ve used have a hum or buzz from what I assume is the Bluetooth electronics which is especially annoying when listening to jazz or classical. Not these. These Pioneers are dead silent.They aren’t bass heavy or too bright, but what quickly caught my attention was the excellent stereo separation. In my limited middle of the road headphone experience, the stereo separation is the best I’ve ever heard.They don’t have noise canceling technology but block sound coming in or going out reasonably well.These headphones are quite comfortable with very spacious cups and soft vinyl covered pads. They don’t clamp down tightly on my head and fall out of position when I bend over to load the dishwasher. I like the fact that they don’t fold up because hinges break.I thought the buttons were for volume but they advance the track forward and back instead. They don’t have a volume control.They aren’t easy to adjust while they are on your head. When I try it, sometimes I hit a button and my listening is interrupted.When I called someone to test the phone functionality, she said the sound was very bad and pretty much unusable. I’m going to try again after playing with my phone settings and will update this review as needed.4.5 stars

Note that this is not a noise canceling set of headphones, and is correctly described. The over the ear fit provides good sound isolation, but if you fly you probably need to get the noise canceling type. I did not want that type. I figured that by trading off the noise canceling feature I did not need that I would get better sound quality for the price - And I was not disappointed.I admit that my ears are large sized and I was concerned to get headphones that fully covered my ears for good comfort. As a bonus the headphones are not as heavy as I might have guessed from the size - They are quite comfortable. They seem appropriately sturdy - probably not military grade sturdy, but sturdy enough not to have to treat them gingerly.The sound clarity is very good to my ears. The bass is solid going all the way down in frequency without being obnoxiously over-accentuated as some headphones I have experienced are. The mid and treble is clear and the imaging is good (apariant ability to spatially locate the sound source in a well done recording) - That means the audio phasing is good across the frequencies. And one more thing I noticed and liked is that wearing the headphones the music seems to be around you and not originating inside your head - Many headphones and earbuds have the effect of making the sounds appear to be inside your head instead of around you. That is a positive. Please note that the inside the head verses outside the head effect depends on the source - For example John Mellencamp’s “Paper In Fire” sounds like I am in the room, but Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young’s “Woodstock” sounds like it’s inside my head.The only negative is that the instruction sheet is awful. It is one of those one-sheet map-folded sheets with a reasonable sized picture on the front section and minuscule print in half a dozen languages referring to the one picture on the front with the parts and buttons labeled with numbers. If you are like me, you need a magnifier to read the English text about paring the headphones. I deducted one star for the miserable instruction sheet. Fortunately paring and use is not complicated.

Awesome pair of headphones! The sound quality is amazing; you can hear every detail. It’s the most comfortable over-ear headphones I ever owned. The build quality and materials are superb for the price. Recommend!

Me quedé con las ganas de probarlos pues me llegó un modelo diferente sin Bluetooth.

Gostei bastante do fone de ouvido para o preço dele. Os sons dos graves e agudos são bem nítidos, principalmente ligado com o cabo, já que ele atinge uma frequência de 9 hz a 40.000 hz no cabo, contrastando com o bluetooth em que ele atinge de 9hz - 22.000 hz. Achei bem confortável, só acho que para quem tem alargadores não fica muito legal (meu caso). A espuma do fone fica bem em cima do lóbulo e machuca quem usa alargadores grandes. Eu estou usando sem os meus alargadores que são de 20mm. Não me incomodo com este fato pois já imaginava que isso iria acontecer já que ele é um headphone over ear. Mas fica aqui o aviso para aqueles que não se prepararam para tal. Tb achei que tem um peso agradável. Porém sou um homem de 1,80m e com 100kg. Minha namorada que tem +/- 1,55m e por volta dos 60kg achou ele um pouco pesado para ela. Outro pequeno problema que vejo é que os comandos de pausar, atender ligação, volume, etc... Só funcionam quando está ligado na função bluetooth. Então quando estiver em uso no cabo (algo que recomendo pelo ganho de qualidade), você vai precisar fazer todas as ações direto do dispositivo que você estiver usando, smartphone, pc, notebook... Mas foi outro problema que não me incomodou, pois estou usando ele no meu desktop e todas as ações eu tomo direto no meu pc e quando vou para o celular uso o bluetooth. E caso eu queira sair, utilizo outro fone que tenho menor e mais discreto. Mas fica aqui o aviso mais uma vez. A isolação acústica dele é muuuito boa. É um fone fechado e por isso escuto quase 0 som de fora. É um headphone perfeito para ficar imerso na sua música favorita e sentir os detalhes da gravação. E quem tá em volta escuta muito pouco do que está tocando tb. Escolhi ele pela capacidade de atingir graves e agudos de forma mais nítida, me dar a liberdade com o bluetooth e ser um over ear, já que o meu anterior é on ear e faço uso de headphone o dia inteiro. No final do dia minha orelha ficava dolorida por ter um fone apertando a orelha. Com esse Pioneer isso acabou e tenho conforto para passar o dia com ele na cabeça. Agora, por ser um over ear fechado, no calor a orelha sua que é uma maravilha. Mas é algo tb que eu esperava. No final das contas ele atendeu muito bem as minhas expectativas e estou muito feliz com o meu headphone novo.Para quem for comprar, analise bem para que fim você quer este headphone. Se você quer utilizar com cabo, lembre-se daquilo que disse acima e se isso vai ser problema para você. Não recomendo fazer exercícios com ele, pois ele pode escapar com facilidade da cabeça e pode gerar muito suor na sua orelha. Como diz no manual, não utilizem ao andar de bicicleta. O isolamento acústico é muito bom e vai te isolar do som ambiente, fora outros riscos que você pode trazer para o seu headphone. Mas retirando esses pequenos problemas, recomendo muito. Headphone confortável de ótima qualidade sonora, e de ótima marca que dá credibilidade quanto a sua durabilidade. Numa lista recente das melhores marcas de headphones, Pioneer ficou em 4º lugar. Melhor do que muita marca reconhecida por aí.

He comprado estos auriculares básicamente para escuchar la televisión sin molestar mucho, y para escuchar algo de música, aunque sin abusar porque no me quiero destrozar los oídos y funciono con un altavoz bluetooth denon que es una maravilla.Vi oferta en prime de 20% en reacondicionados y decidí probar.Decir que estoy increíblemente contento con ellos. Lo primero y más importante, primeros auriculares over the ear que tengo, rodean la oreja por fuera y son de una comodidad extraordinaria. Las horas que quieras. Además se ven robustos y de calidad. El hecho de ser over the ear hace que pese a no tener cancelación activa, aíslen bastante de ruidos. Pero ni los he probado en Exteriores ni los he comprado para eso, solo digo que si los tengo apagados pero puestos y me hablan en casa, me cuesta escuchar lo que me dicen.Lo segundo, buena conexión bluetooth y baja latencia, lo que se esperaba de ellos vaya, que se escuche bien y sin retardos.Lo tercero, muy buen sonido, sin decir que sea sobresalientes suenan muy bien y son muy equilibrados.Y por último, sin poder dar datos Concretos de duración de batería, llevo 5 días con ellos a razón de un par de horas diarias y ahí siguen sin haberse cargado.Así que bueno, encantado de la vida, ahora que los tengo diría que los compraría por su precio normal.EDITO: pasados unos días decir que en exteriores también van de maravilla, en condiciones normales de ruido exterior dan un buen nivel de aislamiento. Además lo he utilizado para contestar llamadas y lo mismo, va de fábula y tanto el micro como la escucha. También muy cómodos los botones para subir y bajar volumen (dejar pulsado), subir o bajar canciones (un toque) o pausar. Me estoy enamorando de ellos. Eso si, son muy grandes y no vas a pasar desapercibido...
