iJoy FBA_FGE-PRE-STL Review
iJoy is a company that is based in China. They make a wide variety of products, including power supplies, earphones, and headphones. According to iJoy’s website, iJoy is the world’s leading manufacturer of headphones.
Build quality
The build quality of these headphones is excellent. The plastic feels sturdy enough to handle regular wear and tear and has a nice glossy finish that looks great. The rubberized headband and ear pads are soft and comfortable.
The design appears to be inspired by Beats By Dre headphones. The shape of the cups is also similar, but these are larger, so they cover the ears instead of just resting on them like the Beats headphones.
- ✓ Fit type: Over-ear

- ✓ Connection: Wireless

- ✓ Excellent construction, good sound quality, but the bass is a bit weak.
Noise Cancellation
Nothing is more annoying than having to deal with unwanted sounds while you’re listening to music. These headphones do not have active noise cancellation, but they do an excellent job of keeping out ambient noises like outside traffic and other people talking.
At such a budget price, this is an excellent feature but won’t give you the noise cancellation that you get with more expensive headphones.
Design
The design of the headphones is nice. The cups fold into a triangle, which makes them easy to carry around. The headphones are also reasonably lightweight and compact, so they are easy to carry around in a backpack or bag.
The earpads are soft and comfortable. The headphones feel secure on the head while walking or jogging. They also look nice, with a glossy finish and a smooth design that feels sturdy enough to handle regular wear and tear.
Comfort
The headphones are reasonably comfortable. They come with an adjustable headband that can be folded in for storage or extended for use.
The earpads are soft and cushioned, but they do not completely cover the ears. While this provides a little bit of air circulation, it does not offer much noise cancellation. Also, because the earpads do not completely cover the ears, they tend to get warm after extensive use.
Also, the small mic does not bend easily and can be difficult to position properly in front of your mouth while you’re talking on your phone.
Features
The headphones have built-in Bluetooth 4.1 technology with A2DP + EDR (high-quality stereo music transmission). This means that you can connect these headphones wirelessly to your cell phone or other devices without having to deal with any cables.
Once you connect them, you can start sending music from your device directly to your headphones. You can also answer calls on your phone while the music is playing in the background using the built-in microphone on these headphones.
Battery Life
The battery life of these headphones is pretty good. The manufacturer claims that they can be used for up to 12 hours on a single charge, but this will vary depending on how loud you play your music and how often you use the headphones to talk on your cell phone. These headphones come with a charging cable, a mini USB connector, and a power adapter. You can charge them either from your computer or from a wall outlet.
How do they sound?
The sound quality is decent. The bass response is good, but the mid-and high-ranges could be better. The bass response is more than adequate for most people’s needs, though. These headphones are great for listening to music or watching movies on your device. They also work well for making calls on your cell phone.
Usability
These headphones are easy to set up out of the box. All you have to do is make sure that your Bluetooth device is paired with them before trying to pair them with another Bluetooth device. Once you have paired them with one device, they should automatically pair with any other devices that you try to connect them with.
If you want to connect these headphones wirelessly to your TV or game console without having to buy an additional transmitter, then this won’t work because the Bluetooth technology in these headphones only supports mono audio transmission (not stereo).
Do they have a microphone
Yes, the headphones have a built-in microphone. The microphone works well, but it is hard to hear the person on the other end of the line.
What about wireless
The headphones are wireless and use Bluetooth 4.0 to communicate with devices. The connection was easy to set up and has minimal signal dropout.
The headphones have a built-in battery with up to 12 hours of battery life and can be charged when not in use via a micro USB cable. They can also be used when charging, but the charge will not last as long.
How good is the case?
The case that the headphones come with is made of fabric, not plastic.
The case can hold the headphones and their accessories, including the micro USB cable and 3.5mm audio cable. The case has a hard bottom so you can put the case on its side without anything falling out, and a little pocket on one side that can fit the power adapter for charging your devices in one of your suitcases or carry-on bags.
What’s in the box?
The headphone itself, a micro USB cable, a 3.5mm audio cable, the power adapter for charging, and the case.
Are they compatible with games consoles?
The headphones are compatible with all devices that have Bluetooth. They are also compatible with PCs and Macs via the included audio cable.
Should I buy them?
Yes, these headphones are great value for money and have adequate sound quality for the price. They are comfortable and easy to use, and the battery life makes them useful for travelling. The only downside is that they do not fit very well on some people’s heads so they may not be suitable if you have an unusually shaped head or ears.
