Hi Mark, thanks for the detailed review, your channel become my first destination when I am looking for headphones / ear pods reviews. I have the 85 and they do connect to two devices at the same time, initially you need to turn off Bluetooth in the first device for the headphones to enter pairing mode and to then you pair with the second decide , once paired you can turn on the Bluetooth back on first device and it's connected to both devices. You just need to pause the media on one device and play it on the second and it will pick up automatically. If you get a call it will pick it up automatically as well. Very nice feature. I use it on my phone and laptop all the time . No issues

[@josealuis607]

Thanks for the info man, I really appreciate this comment, cause today I bought my 85's, hope this works as well with mine

[@AhmadYusuf85]

@@josealuis607 You are welcome. Just one thing to note, if you pair it to two devices at the same time it works absolutely fine on both of them, however, once you disconnect the first device the headphone still works with the second but you will hear a message saying "Your headphone has been disconnected" and it will automatically power off after some time, probably because it's not designed to work with two devices in the first place but it's not a big issue for me, I turn it on again and use it normally.

I like how you record noise and let us see the dBs instead of just putting the headphones on and telling us your opinion. Just ordered the 055. Thank you.

[@SSurfs]

how do you like them? considering buying them

[@hgodtx]

Great review, so detailed. I think I'm going to order the 85's, because they are the most comfortable, and it seams I'm always in a multi-hour use scenario. In addition, I would enjoy hearing a full spectrum of detailed sounds rather than giving up high or mid for more bass.

[@rongood7329]

This review was extremely helpful for me. I ended up getting the 55s because, for my purposes, the best ANC I could afford was my primary goal, and I bought the 55s because "without a doubt, they offer the best ANC performance of any budget ANC headphones [he'd] ever tested." To at least some degree, I can EQ for better sound--but I can't do anything about ANC. The review is accurate--the ANC is wonderful, way better than I'd expected. Apart from ANC, I'm okay with the sound as long as I don't audiophile A/B it too heavy. It's not great, but it's good enough for my purposes. At home, I use other phones--but out and around, I'm fine with these. One more thing: call quality. I've received a few calls while in somewhat noisy environments, and everyone has simply told me "they sound normal." I like that. Mark, your reviews rawk. Thank you.

[@willmatthams6539]

I have the 55's too but as much as their sound and ANC, for £60 when I got them, was truly brilliant, the cheap plastic of the 55's broke by the hinge from about a 50cm drop onto my laptop on both sides, so as long as you are seriously careful with them I'd recommend

Still happy with my 46’s, I have slept in these for 2 years, work outside, mow the lawn. There have been insane for the price. Mowing grass with the ANC on is unreal. Thanks for the great review.

[@ChrissAlba]

This is a solid and a quality review ! I'm impressed

[@hyperspace1952]

Cool review! It's the SoundSurge 55s for me all the way. Being an audio-fanatic I have found that no wireless headphones quite cut it as compared to my trusty budget audiophile closed cans-USB DAC concoction, which I use on-the-go. I've heard the Sony WH1000XM3s and I think they are nice (I really like the ANC on them). However, I can't justify the price for their sound quality. At work, I typically wear my favorite ear plugs that come with memory foam, and while comfortable, I do need a bit of a break from them after a couple of hours. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found ear defenders that are both comfortable as well as "office-smart" (no idea what's up with that). I tried the SoundSurge 55s, and they are as good as it gets for someone who would only purchase ANC headphones for yes, its ANC function.

Excellent review ! Very thorough, balanced and honest. Much appreciated!

[@jeremybaker863]

Hey, i just wanted to add my two cents regarding the updated version of the Taotronics Soundsurge 46's. First, i am almost positive that the only color that was refreshed for 2020 is the champagne/beige color. Even though it doesn't seem to be differentiated on Amazon, every black pair that anyone I know has received hasn't been updated at all. Anyway, the refreshed 46's have CVC 8.0, Bluetooth 5.0 w/aptx and AAC codec, USB c charging. And speaking from experience, the updated pair are incredibly better from the original. Bass is very punchy and deep, mids are decently forward (slightly more than originals),but the biggest gain is the more pronounced high end treble. Much more detail now.

[@creatureak]

Just got my black 46s this week with usb c. My phones bluetooth connection also states aptx. Don't know how to confirm cvc 8. Bought on amazon.

[@jeremybaker863]

@@creatureak that's awesome! I am glad to see that taotronics finally updated the black 46's so now there won't be any more confusion for potential customers when they are deciding on these. I noticed this being a problem with people on Amazon, because up until recently, there were complaints of people still receiving the outdated pair even though they were advertised as being refreshed. How do you like your 46's?

[@sivalingamsenthooran7550]

i'm gonna buy soundsurge 85. thanks mark :-)

[@KattLover5412]

Daamn OK perfect I did get the best pair the 55, I got them for the different anc and they didn't disappoint in your review. So excited for them to get here on Tuesday. Found them for only ~$38 using Amazon renewed, and had a $25 giftcard. Do wish they were less bass and better mids though as I'm more of an acoustic listener mainly. Still for what $13 its totally worth it haha

[@doct0rnic0]

Thanks for this comparison. Went through your reviews and comparisons, and the 85 seemed right for me - Mic performance was important, but also 5.0 for the lag reduction and increased Bluetooth range. Shame I won't get a case, but hey ho - for the price it seems great.

Excellent review right here man, thank you so much! I have owned a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3 and the Taotronics TT85 and ended up selling the sony's because although the features on them are slightly better, the Taotronics cost me only 40 bucks and they almost have the same functionality. Really decent performance regarding sound, active noise cancelling and battery life. For the small price a really big winner IMHO :)

I may order a pair of the 46 today. My Ghostek Sodrop 2 have split apart and Ghostek haven't created a Sodrop 3 so I'm looking for something with a similar sound with deep bass for 808 tracks that have a good build quality that will last over a year and not break apart in two months like several Philips that I've tried. I purchased a Marshall Major III set the other day but they are so uncomfortable I took them off after 5 minutes of use and put them back in the box and will return them.

[@liftusup9208]

Only 85s are being sold here (other models are not soundsurge). I hope they be comfortable. My Ausdom m05 which were super light broke after 3.11 years and I am planning to order 85s. I hope they be better.

Sound review. Can you make any recs/have any vids of ANC ON-ear headphones? Over-ear are great for sound quality and comfort of course, but if you're outside a lot like me, they're just too hot for warmer weather conditions, and also not ideal for wearing with sunglasses. I had some wired on-ear ANC Sonys a while back that were pretty good and cost me about $80. Interested to see if there's anything else worth considering out there..

[@chanchan05]

Late to the party, but a bit confused here. You said your 46's have CVC 6.0, but then say also it has USB-C? But isn't it that the old version with the CVC 6.0 has the microUSB port, while the new version with USB-C has CVC 8.0, as it says on their product page. So do you have the old version or the new version?

Hello; Thanks for your review. My experience is sound quality is really Good. BUILD quality is OK too a bit disappointing. 3 months into using it 1 of the ear cups broke. Used a bit of super glue so it still can rotate but didn't solve it. So glued it all to only fold. 1 month later, the opposite earcup also broke. Glued that too. 4 months later (month 7), both broke again. Now waiting for the glue to set. So from now need to be careful with them and get a new hard case as the current one won't fit since I cannot rotate the ear cups. Please pass this on to the manufacturer, or can they give me a solution? Images are available. Regards, Joram.
