I have the previous version of these headphones, the BTS Pro, and I really love it. So when I thought I'd lost it (for a little while, it was in my wife's car, my fault), I decided to get the same set of headphones. However, I was surprised they had a newer model. I couldn't care less about the Amazon - Alexa option, but I may decide to give it a try someday, but I haven't yet. From what I've read, it's not that big a deal.
I've head the headphones for a month now, here's what I think so far. First of all, I like them a lot, so much so I decided to keep them after I found my BTS Pro headphones. Having another set doesn't seem like a bad idea anyway. I love the fit. They're very comfortable on head. I can use them for several hours before I start to feel discomfort my ears, then I just take them off, rub the tops of my ears for a few seconds, then I'm good for another hour or so. The Bluetooth connection is very strong and I get better distance with these then any other headphones I've ever tried. I usually have them connected to my iPod Classic (using a small Bluetooth transmitter) and I can leave it on my desk and go all around my office without losing a connection, which is very convenient at the end of the day, when I'm by myself moving files and going to different stations in my office. And finally, the sound is great. For it's size, I can't believe how good the sound is. I'm not an audiophile, but to my untrained ear these headphones sound as good as ones that could be much more expensive. Also, it's nice they're in Blue now.
Now for the not so good and why I gave them 4 stars instead of 5.
I have a lot of trouble connecting them to different devices. Strangely, they pair with my iPod Classic super easy, but my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S7), when I connect them, I'm only conneccted for phone calls. I've found if I turn the headphones off then on again, or try using the app (after turning on the Bluetooth on my phone, don't leave your Bluetooth on all the time, folks), then it'll connect for both calls and "media", but it's very hit and miss and usually takes several tries. Also, my older iPad (I'm not an Apple Junkie, I just have the iPod Classic and 2 iPads), when I tried to connect it, device said I the headphones were connected, but it wasn't. I didn't feel like fooling with it then so I just used my old BTS Pro headphones.
Also, zero noise canceling. I wasn't expecting it, so I'm not bothered by it. But if you want noise canceling, you're not going to get it with these headphones.
Lastly, it takes a long, long time to get a full charge. This doesn't bother me very much, since I have the old headphones and I usually charge them overnight anyway, but it's odd to me that the newer headphones take so long to charge. When I first got them I believe I charged them from 10 to 12 hours before the light indicator changed color, letting me know they were fully charged.
There you have it, if you want some good headphones and your noggin' is shaped like mine, you should enjoy these. Just don't expect perfection.
More thoughs:
It's been another month and I thought add to my review.
First off, they're just as hard to pair as when I first got them. My old bluetooth transmitter for my iPod classic died so I got a new one, (different MFG), and it took nearly 2 hours of trying before I could finally make a connecction. The headphones seemed to want to connect with every other device in my apartment building rather then the Bluetooth dongle I had pressing against the headphones. Finally, walked across the street, into the park, far away from everyone and everything, only then was I able to connect the headphones. :::sigh:::
But once that connection was made, it usually goes without a hitch. Unlike my phone. Still.
I was hoping at somepoint my phone would connect completly with the headphones with just one swipe, but that's still not happening.
Battery life is very good. I've let it go for over a week (at times) and they haven't run out of juice on me yet. So while the charging time is long, the playing time is long as well.
I've tried the Alexa option on the headphones and like most people have said, it's pretty much usless. It doesn't even answer questions about the weather.
My 4 star review stands, if the MFG fixed the connectivity problems, I'd have it at 5.

I have used the BTS Pro (previous model) for 2 years now. Unfortunately, my girlfriend also loved these headphones and essentially stole mine :)I bought the PRO Voice and was hoping they would be as good as the prior model (BTS Pro). To my shock, they are even BETTER.I use the Pro Voice in the gym almost daily and for running (I run for 50-80 minutes) and sometimes just for phone calls or walking around town. These are the most OUTSTANDING headphones I have ever used. I do not like in-ear bud type headphones. They are not hygienic, can cause hearing loss due to forming a seal inside the ear canal, and I find them very uncomfortable. These headphones are over the ear, use a very soft and comfortable memory foam, and, yet, they stay very easily in place even when sprinting or exercising very hard. They are sweat proof, have amazing range, and really excellent sound. They are very high quality and only use Vegan materials. I listen to rap, r&b, and pop, as well as alternative/new age and the sound quality is fabulous. In fact, the MAJOR difference between the Pro Voice and the BTS Pro is the incredible sound quality. The Pro Voice sound like $300 headphones. Call quality is also excellent.Lastly, one AMAZING feature of this phone is the battery life. These last for 40 hours consistently. I use them everyday in the gym and only need to charge them once a week. I need to charge my stupid iPod Touch much more frequently. They pair easily with both my iPod Touch and my Samsung S8. I LOVE these headphones. For $100 bucks, the value is out of this world. The carrying case is also super convenient.Well done Audio 66 - you have a customer for life!!UPDATE: Had an issue with these headphones and 66Audio sent me a new pair. The new pair work perfectly. Their customer service is as good as their products!!

Tienen su propia APP para configurar algunas de sus opciones , Extra Nada, ecualizador... Localizar los audífonos de acuerdo a su último uso y el firmware es actualizable.
Actualizado 1 año de uso: han aguantado bien y aunque los utilizo ocasionalmente considero que son buena opción. Los volvería a adquirir definitivamente.
