Kogan Lightweight
VerifiedMPN: KALWBTHPBLKA5 reviews
I have to wear headphones at work all day, so finding a comfortable pair of headphones is a must – Part of my duties at work require that I wear headphones to answer calls and listen to audio (I work in an open office environment where external noise, needs to be kept to a minimum) We are provided with headphones from our employer, (but they are not the best) so I decided to purchase my own headphones and ended up buying this product. I find them easy to wear, (especially when you are wearing them all day) and the noise cancellation device built into them, works well. Finally they actually look quite nice (mine are a nice bright colour) which makes a difference in an otherwise drab office) and were certainly not expensive. (In the worst case scenario, if they go missing and or I damage them) then I am not several hundred dollars out of pocket. I would most certainly recommend them for people who have to wear headphones all day and who at the same time, do not want to shell out hundreds and hundreds of dollars for a pair of decent headphones.

Love these for my running – I was looking for a low cost pair to use for my running. Didn't want to dish out big bucks and drop them while running (pretty common for clumsy me). Sound was great, even had decent noise reduction. I highly recommend these. Got mine online off their website last year 2016.

Truly excellent for the price – I listen to podcasts, music and have phone conversations using these headphones. The connection is as good or better than my expensive Plantronics equivalent and the sound volume the loudest I've ever come across with a bluetooth headset which is important as some podcasts are inexplicably very low volume. The sound quality is good enough and the volume/cue/review/pause/restart buttons work very intuitively. Best value for money item I've bought, hands down. Oh, they will die after a few hundred hours of heavy use. Not an issue with me.
Great Deal – These are great cheap headphones. The bluetooth function is fantastic and it makes it easy to do things without having a chord in my way! My head is sensitive so being able to put them around my neck and over my ears is super convenient! I'm sure this will prove to be extra helpful for my online lectures too! Great deal for sure at $29. Would most definitely recommend to a friend!! Inexpensive, advanced and easy! It's cheap so the pads on the ears aren't plush but I wouldn't expect them to be at this price.
Good value for money – connected it to my android devices and iphone in no time. extremely easy to carry as the neck band is foldable and sound quality is pretty decent on full blast, great for people on the move. connection was great walking around the house. very comfortable too! now the downsides, when u press button you hear a cheap plastic click, which is fine since you won't be pressing it all day long. the installation guide is not great but it might be a it poorly written for first time Bluetooth users. comfy, price, ease of use. cheap plastic look and sound.
I found this step a bit tricky as well, but just went through the listed steps a few times until it worked: 1. With the headphones turned off, hold down the Power/Call Button until a red and blue LED lights are alternating. 2. The Lightweight Bluetooth Headphones should now appear in available Bluetooth devices on your smartphone. You may need to tell your smartphone to “scan” for new devices once step 1 is complete.
I also found that Kogan has posted the instructions online (very helpful if you loose the original bit of paper that is the instructions) at external link which is on this page external link
I don't think Kogan will take back headphones as they have something about health regulations on their website about this.
Not so sure that they work with Apple products as I cannot connect it to my iPod Touch and iPad 1, but it works well with my HTC Incredible S
Works with my iphone 4S no problems. The only fault I find is the really silly USB connector at the headphone end. Extremely small and a replacement one is unavailable. Why they didn't use the standard micro USB is quite beyond me.

Hi there! Glad to hear you're happy with the headphones, I hope to be also! I've been unable to connect them to any device thus far... Samsung Galaxy Note, iPhone 4, and two Mac laptops... None of the devices can even see the headphones via Bluetooth... Was there a trick to it for you? I'm hoping mine aren't faulty. Thanks so much if you can help! :) Adam
