Cobra HX7 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones w/ ATPX Microphone

These headphones are some of the nicest I have used. To test them, they were used as studio headphones for sound engineering in a theatre production, Bluetooth headphones for listening to music, and noise-cancelling headphones during production rehearsals. In all these usage scenarios they performed admirably and as such, they will be the new studio headphones for future productions.PRO:- The headphones themselves are constructed out of a durable plastic. it has a matte finish, so it does not become smudged.- The earcups are made out of what appears to be real leather.- There are 4 speaker or microphone grilles on the outer casings of the earcups. These look to be the microphones for noise cancelling, and perhaps also “open-back” speaker grilles.- The branding on the headphones is subtle.- I have used these consistently for a week without having charged them, except for the initial charge.- As usual, Cowin’s ANC works wonderfully.- I am able to wear these without discomfort for extended periods of time (4 hours at a time during rehearsals)CON:- The one downside is the same as for Cowin’s other products: When certain functions are activated (in this case when the maximum or minimum volume is reached on the headphone volume control), a loud and disruptive noise is made. On some Cowin products, a recorded voice actually tells you that a limit has been reached. For the SE7’s, it is only a high pitched beep. Nevertheless, it is disruptive and unpleasant.Overall, these headphones are more than adequate for most tasks. The fact that they work well as studio headphones is an unexpected bonus. In the case, a studio adapter and an airplane adapter are included, as well as a charging cord and an AUX cord. Highly recommended headphones!*As a side note, the earpads are detachable, for easy cleaning and replacement. This is noted in the 4th and 5th pictures.

 1. Appearance – Great look to them , not too out there just a great professional looking headphones2. Sound quality – Sounds great, highs sound good while the lows sound good with a decent amount of bass3. MIC function – Mic works and sounds great for when you need it for calls4. Comfort – BY FAR the most impressive thing I found out about with these headphones, the foam padding is like a cloud and felt high quality5. Active Noise Cancelling- Active noise Cancelling worked great, used them in a busy college common area and couldn’t hear a thingOverall a great pair of professional noise canceling headphones.

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!

 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.

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.

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!!!
