SMS Audio’s SYNC by 50 over-the-ear headphones give you the ample sound from a big set of headphones, but without a cord.

Connect the 3.5 mm 2.4GHz wireless transmitter (included) into your device’s headphone port, pair it with the headphones and the setup is done. Use it at home or take it with you.

The headband is made of a custom polymer plastic so it’s flexible, and the ear cups are made with a soft leather memory foam, which combine to make it simple to get a comfortable fit.

Controls for volume and song selections are built into the left ear cup, along with a micro USB port for charging. A 3.5mm input for the audio cable is also in the cup, for times when you don’t want to go wireless.

The audio cable has an in-line microphone for cellular use, and a zippered travel case is included.

As for the sound, I’m not one for big sets of headphones, but in this case bigger is better. Crank up the sound and you really get into your own world.
