Onkyo H500BT

Onkyo's H500BT headphones are a Bluetooth wireless pair of on-ear cans that also happen to support Hi-Res Audio files. There's a caveat, however. You'll need to use them wired if you want to take advantage of that added audio fidelity. Still, even then...

The Onkyo H500BT sound decent, but they're let down by Bluetooth pairing issues.

Onkyo H500BT review

With wireless and Hi-Res Audio, Onkyo's latest headphones will please nearly everyone

Hi-res audio integration ; Great battery life ; Easy to use wireless functionality ; Excellent all-round sound

Design not for everyone ; Hi-res Audio requires a cable ; Price is a little high

Onkyo has once again released a solid, great-sounding pair of headphones. While Hi-res Audio compatibility is the big selling point of the H500BTs, it's the Bluetooth capabilities that won us over.

Onkyo H500BT headphones review: Punchy meets plasticky

Despite being established since 1946, Onkyo headphones are a rare sighting out on the streets. And with on- and over-ear headphones dominating the daily commute these days, now is the perfect opportunity for Onkyo's latest Bluetooth H500BT cans to make...

Capable of decent sound (in isolation), solid Bluetooth connection, non-fussy design that's lightweight, high-res audio - if you're into that

Plasticky build in general, pricey for such a build, tricky to position for optimum sound quality - especially when out and about

Overall we rather like aspects of the Onkyo H500BT on-ear headphones. They're small and light, yet deliver decent audio whether using them wired or wirelessly via Bluetooth. The caveat, in our experience, is that potentially poor positioning will lose...

Very good pair of headphones

No complain about the headphones. The only thing is that Argos should mention that this is an opened/returned good from a previous purchase even though it has been cleaned and repacked. I have no problem with that for the price I paid, but it has to be...
