Going on the name of these headphones most people shopping for these are looking for Bluetooth headphones they can use when working out. I've used them primarily for running - listening both to music and audio books (which gives you some idea of the kind of runner I am).Firstly - and importantly - the sound quality is really pretty good coming from a small pair of headphones - in particular if you are not distracted by external noise (e.g. wind, traffic, barking dogs nipping at your heels). The audio range is fine - good across low and high frequencies.Supplied are three sets of rubber ear pieces - small, medium and large. The medium are most ideal for me - small falling out repeatedly, large not really fitting at all. In use I find that the over/around ear fitting is not as secure as headphones which have a flexible but solid band - the Jam Live are linked by a wire with an adjustable loop to take up slack. If you are generally fine with regular earphones which "plug" into the ear - these will be absolutely fine. If, like me, plug in loose wire headphones repeatedly fall out - you may have a problem.Advertised as sweat resistant it is hard to comment as I think problems in that area take months of sweaty use to reveal problems if they are there.In terms of ease of use - they are easy to pair - following the slightly awkward "cover all" instructions in which everything is done with symbols and schematics. There are three "buttons" - one "central" power/play/pause/answer call/hang up/pair button - and a button either side of this - marked O and X. These are used for volume up/down (0.5 second presses) and for next/previous track (2 second press). Personally I find the buttons are a little too small and indistinct for easy use by touch (which is primarily how they need to be used) - they are a bit difficult to feel/distinguish from each other. The central button is the one you'll probably need most and that is the easiest of the three to use.Accepting a call is straightfoward - press the central button once (answer and hang up). Call quality is good/clear (depending on phone/signal obviously) - and the microphone is sufficient for your caller to hear you clearly. Tested indoors - not in a windy field...Bottom line - these are decent headphones which sound pretty good - and are easy to use as long as you find that plug in ear phones stay in your ears okay and have sensitive enough fingers to feel/use the control buttons by touch. Although comfortable enough - I give them 3 stars under comfort - taking into account my personal experience with regards ease of use.

While I bought these from a different supplier I feel it's important to let peeps know just how bad they are - the control buttons are not user-friendly, they are clunky in feel and heavy in weight compared to others. And the sound is terrible - the phone call quality is simply shocking - the music sound is tinny and lacks base (i have tried to adjust the base of the phone etc) Really disappointed with these, especially since I don't have much money, so it makes it that bit more annoying. Errrrr

I found the head phones to be generally good and just the job whilst performing my gyrations in the gym. The blue colour matched the blue stripes on my yellow Lycra and they tucked under my authentic Jimmy Conners head band just a treat when the gyrations got ferocious. Although they did give a little crackle when I got carried away during a classic Black Lace number from my album 'Now 87' when I think I pushed pineapple a bit too hard.Other than that they were brilliant and the battery was great too, it lasted through my afore mentioned fave album along with my other classics ‘Take that and party’ and ‘There ain’t no party like an S Club party’.. not forgetting Russ Abbott’s ‘I love a party’.. although, in fairness, Russ did sound like he’d been at the Drambuie slurring his words a bit on the last number.I’ve added a personal touch to mine sticking on them some made in China bright pink fake Swarovski crystals which I had left over from doing my Jane Fonda over shorts I wear on top of the Lycra. With the help of gorilla glue I wrote ‘fit’ on the front and ‘nasty’ on the back and now, with a matching twinkle at my lobes, I think I really am the envy of the Bums & Tums class.Overall I can’t smile wide enough when wearing them down the gym or singing along with them while at work at the Undertakers.I Would say they are excellent value for the money; I paid, £3:50 off of Scouse Terry in his kitchen and he even threw in a pack four Findus beef burgers….. Job’s a good un!!!Now, I’ve got all that out of my system and on a more serious note…..The headphones are comfortable to wear and did not fall out as some do during vigorous exercise.The battery was good and the sound ok, not as good as I’d hoped and did break up now and again when moving my head left or right.Overall they’re not bad but I’d be tempted to splash out a bit more for some better quality ones, as the audio dropouts were a bit bind. 6/10
