Behringer HC 2000BNC

Highly recommend to try.
Bought to mostly listen the music and to use like second pair of reference phones.
Very impressed by the quality of sound and fabrication.
Phones feels very light on my head and sounds great for this price. Noise canceling works fantastic, when its ON you almost cant hear anything outside, even your voice. Like how sounds Lo-end, very punchy for such a small diameter of dynamics.
I decided to buy this ones because it have an option to connect aux cable and it doesn?t affect sound quality if compare with bluetooth mode, so you can actually listen to .wave and .flac audio formats (hi definition).
Also like that it have controls of volume, play/pause , next/prev. track and answer the call.
Battery works a lot if dont use noise reduction, i was all day listening to music without recharging .
Delivered fast and without any problems.

I bought these for my wife, who lost her previous pair of headphones.
I've been quite happy with the quality of Behringer products since my MX2804 mixer and lately my Poly D. But these headphones leaves quite a lot to wish for regarding quality.

The piece that broke was the swivel between one of the cups and the headband. Looking at the design, I'm just flabbergasted. I think the axle in the coupling is less than 3 mm and made of plastic. On top of that, it's hollow to make the cable pass though it. How the designers got an idea of this being something that is supposed to last is beyond me.

I'm not bothered about returning it, since the replacement is going to have the exact same problem, unless someone has made a radical redesign of the hinge. I've glued the whole swivel together, so now it
can't rotate, but it has got at least 4 times extra contact surface.

Apart from that, the artificial leather coating of the headband is peeling of like 3 day old sunburn. Doesn't look pretty, but at least it doesn't affect the functionality.

No. I don't recommend these headphones. They are supposed to be carried around, folded, put in women's handbags and whatnot. So they need to be able to survive such an environment. Sure, they are cheap, but so have lots of other Behringer gear that has a lot more quality going for it.

Disappointed!

So to start off: I got these headphones because I cycle to work, and needed headphones to meet these conditions:

- They had to be over-ear, because I have sensory issues
- Not sound like total dirt
- They had to be rugged and durable
- Fair price

Comfort: Condition 1 was met, they actually fit rather comfortably on my big doofus head

Sound: Crisp enough to be acceptable, though it was a little too bass-boosted for my liking. That being said, turning the ANC on was like having a harsh high-pass filter, but I did prefer the balance of having the ANC on overall.

ANC: Peep above. It didn't cut out all sound, curiously bicycle bells and traffic came through which is actually rather neat

Price: Looks like inflation has hit the headphone market as well, but these were decently priced for all the features it has

Battery life: Absolutely pathetic. My cycle is about 40 minutes each way. With ANC on, it would die about 3/4ths of the way home. The worst part that when it's on low battery, it makes THE MOST ANNOYING LOW BATTERY SOUND, and for the next 5 minutes you'll hear maybe 20 seconds of music before another UIUIU sound interrupts. Pathetic

Glitches: There is an annoying glitch that would happen if you disconnect your device from your headphones by turning off the bluetooth rather than disconnecting manually. When that happens, the headphones don't connect to anything, nor can they turn off. You have to turn the ANC on and let the battery die.

Durability: After 3 months of daily usage, one of the cups snapped off. How did it happen? I was putting my headphones on. The on/off button was also unresponsive a lot of the time. Very flimsy.

Overall: Not worth it. As much as it pains me to do, I might have to switch to wireless buds and just grin and bear the sensory issues.
