Good Value for Money!
This tiny Bluetooth receiver is impressive. For the price, the sound quality is very good, you can feel the bass as well as the highs. It is not the best in the market, but remember you only pay less that £15!. The loudness is fine, but if you were in a crowded area such as a train station, you would need to set the volume to the highest.
The microphone is good, the other person can hear you clearly unless the device is under your jacket.
Pairing is dead easy, you hold the MF button for a few second and it enters the pairing mode, there is also a voice guidance telling you when the device enters the pairing mode. I did not have any problem pairing the device to different phones and PCs.
The good news is you can connect this device to any of your wired headphones and turn them into Bluetooth headsets! So, you can use it as a Bluetooth receiver.
One thing that I do not like about this device is the buttons. Apart from the MF button, the rest are a smooth surface that you cannot tell which one is which without looking at the buttons. I would have liked having some receced buttons.
The Bluedio's customer services are exceptional. A huge thank to anyone who works there, They are very responsive and supportive.
So, do I recommend this product? Of course, I do.

I love them!
This review has been written with the price range in mind. For this price or even slightly higher, I doubt you could find a better headset. Here is my detailed review of the product:
Built quality and aesthetics
The headset looks beautiful and attractive, thanks to the unusual shape (the folding hinge). These headphones are mainly made of plastic apart from the extension bars which are from thin pieces of metal. This is smart, as the extension bars in any headset often break easily and therefore, metal is needed. What I do not like about the appearance of the headset is the two giant "57 mm Driver" sign as well as the "HI-FI Headphone" written on each side of the headset. Otherwise, for the price, the built quality and the aesthetics are excellent.
Sound quality
If I did not have a Bluedio UFO headset, I would have worn these all the time. With 2 X 57mm drivers, the headphones are capable of producing a very good bass. The bass is deep and clean and can literally shake your head. However, they are not as capable in producing the mids and trebles which is understandable. There is a natural phenomenon called sound masking. Lower frequency sounds tend to mask higher frequencies and make them less audible. Whenever headphones produce loads of lower frequencies, the higher ones become muddy, unless expensive solutions are used such as using dedicated drivers for producing the mids and highs. For this price range, these expensive solutions are simply not possible.
In term of percussion, the headphones are capable of producing most of the frequencies together. That is to say, if there were different instruments in your music, you could hear most of them. However, when there are too many instruments played at the same time, some of them might feel to fight against each other, and the result will not be so pleasing.
I am currently measuring the frequency response of the headphones and keep you updated once I got the results.
One thing that annoyed me is that array of small rectangular opening on each side of the ear cups. Probably they are there to reduce echo, but they have created two other problems. First, because of them, sound leakage is very high, and second when you wear them in a windy weather, you hear a disturbing sound due to the air turbulence.
Comfort
Adding the hinges is a stroke of a genius, you can adjust the ear cups the way you want. These headphones compared to the lower model "Bluedio Turbine Hurricane" are much more comfortable. More cushions would have been appreciated but still do the job.
The MF button, volume down, and volume up buttons are placed in a proper position and can be easily reached. However, the play and next/previous slider is not ideal. I would have preferred standard buttons to a sliding one.
Battery life
The battery life is just incredible! 40 hours of playback !! The battery life feels like it lasts forever. I have not heard of any other headset that lasts for this long.
Pairing and Bluetooth range
Pairing is easy; I have not had any problem connecting the headset to different devices including my Dell laptop, my Android phone, and my Windows Phone.
Customer service
WOW! How responsive they are. An enormous thank to the Bluedio team, they are exceptionally responsive and helpful. They always leave you with a big smile on your face.
All in all, am I happy with my purchase? Yes, I am.
Do I recommend this product? Definitely, I do.

Feel the space!
1 of 1 found this helpful I would like to start off with the built quality, which is simply exceptional. I went to Currys PC world and compared the built quality of the UFO to almost all the headphones they had. These headphones were by far the best. Sound performance was great too. It was similar to Boss Quiet Comfort 25 and better than Beats Studio.
These headphones produce a very deep bass without losing much clarity of the sound. I have to admit that the mids and highs are slightly muddy. But, this does not affect the overall experience. 'What I truly like about these headphones is that they are very accurate in reproducing sounds. If there were 20 different instruments in your music, you would hear all of them with no problem. To get the maximum benefit from these headphones, you need to have them connected via Bluetooth. Otherwise, the equalizer in your device will probably degrade the sound quality.
Regarding comfort, they are really comfortable. I can wear them for an extended period without feeling uncomfortable, even when I wear glasses. Bear in mind that these headphones are heavy and built for large heads (like mine). So if you have a relatively small head, these might be loose on your head.
To be honest with you, I did not enjoy the 3D sound effect (at least for music). It somehow increases the bass, but you lose some clarity, which I do not want. I have heard that it is good for watching movies, but I doubt that too. The 3D effect only works when you are wirelessly connected to your device (phone, TV, PC…), in this case, there will be a lag of a few milliseconds. This lag is enough to spoil the joy of watching your movie, no matter how 3D the sound is, as you cannot hear the sound at the time you are supposed to hear it.
Last but not least, Bluedio has excellent customer services. They do whatever it takes to make you feel happy. All in all, I am pleased with my purchase, and I highly recommend this product.
*Things that I could not review so far are the battery life, mic quality and Bluetooth range.
***********UPDATED REVIEW*******AFTER 4 MONTHS 16/03/2016
Since the sound quality is of paramount importance to any headset, I am updating my review by adding more to this side of these headphones.
To give an unbiased review and to hear all the flaws, I had these headphones tested in an anechoic chamber where the noise level is extremely low. So what you would here in such an environment is what would be produced by the headphones. Before listening to any music, I stayed in the room for a couple of minutes to calibrate my ears. Then I started listening to a wide range of music genres, with the concentration of pop music, and here is my impression;
Frequency response:
Good headphones are capable of producing all the frequencies simultaneously and precisely. These headphones are capable of producing frequencies of interest. However, the bass (low frequencies) overpowers the mids and, to some extent, the trebles, making them less audible. As a result, you would lose some of the vocal clarity, and the overall experience could be slightly muddy. I cannot say whether this is considered as a flaw as the bass adds a whole new dimension to your music perception and I would rather sacrifice the mids to get a better bass than having no bass. In plain English, these headphones are not very accurate at producing all the frequencies. They produce a deep, clear and vigorous bass at the cost of making the mids less distinct which is a natural phenomenon as lower frequencies tend to mask higher frequencies and thus make them sound less loud.
If you are after bass, these headphones are for you. If you look for accuracy, you should look somewhere else. I should warn you that headphones which equally produce all the frequencies (uncoloured) are not very pleasant to listen to, unless you use them for recording purposes.
If I were to appraise solely based on frequency response, I would give these 3.5 out of 5 Stars.
Soundstage:
Soundstage is what prevents me from giving these headphones less than 5 stars. I have never seen any headphones that provide such an excellent soundstage. The soundstage is the ability of headphones to discriminate different instruments as well as the vocal so that your ears can tell from where a specific sound is coming. When you listen to your favourite song on these, you feel the vocal is right inside your head and the instruments are being played around you. One is in front of you; another is to your right, back and so on. Every single instrument in your music will be distinctly heard. To test this what I would normally do is to close my eyes and follow the faintest instrument played in the background until I no longer can distinguish it from the other instruments (blended with others). Again these headphones are super excellent at doing this. Based on the soundstage, I would definitely give 5 out of 5 stars.
