Advanced Soundz Air Beatz Bluetooth Wireless Cell Phone Headset

I have a Harley-Davidson Sportster (a bike intended for short trips without the "cruiser" niceties, such as a windshield or stereo). I take it exploring and on longer trips - so I want to be able to use my GPS app on my mobile phone. With loud pipes hearing the GPS isn't an option. And with a magnetic-mounted holder, I have to constantly look down at my gas tank to read it. So I was looking for a way to hear it without having to look.After reading the other reviews, I bought these to wear on my motorcycle.They paired with my Windows Phone without a problem. Because the main device sits around my neck, there is zero chance that they will blow off. The earpieces fit snugly in my ears and are fairly tight without becoming uncomfortable. With the volume settings right, I can hear my GPS (or music) while riding.The downside, however, is that the earpieces can tend to come out at high speeds. I wear a "skull cap" type helmet, which exposes the earpieces to a lot of wind. Once I am at 55 MPH+ for more than about 20 minutes, they started popping out of my ears. The device shipped with a few other optional earpiece sizes, so I'll experiment with them and - if the results are different - I'll post an update.The reason why the wind has a significant impact is that the earpiece sticks out pretty far from your head. I can't imagine these fitting under a helmet that covers your ears.So, for use on a motorcycle, I give these 3 stars. I can make them work for short stretches, but there are a number of annoyances if trying to wear them for a long trip.UPDATEOn a subsequent ride, I switched to the smaller ear buds, and that was helpful. They seemed to do slightly better at staying in my ears. When I put a head wrap/do rag on over my ears, that did the trick. I can now ride with the earbuds remaining in for a very long trip (tested at over 70 MPH). Not perfect, but acceptable for my needs.

*EDIT 12/4/2015*My husband USED TO like these headphones. They were perfect for him to wear at work, and they had a good range on them so that he could leave his phone outside of his paintbooth. It's a good thing the company is no longer selling these. He actually went through two of these headsets. The first one started malfunctioning less than a month after purchase, and the company was really great about giving us a replacement set. That [replacement] set lasted less than six months. They started malfunctioning the same way the first pair did, and there was nothing we could do to fix it. I emailed the company and, while it took them less than 24 hours to get back to me, they told me that they no longer sell these do to the constant problems and offered me a selfie stick. Not only do I have zero want or need of a selfie stick, but it's not even equal cost to this headset. Once I get this issue resolved, I'll probably steer clear of this company.~~~~~~~I got these a few months back for my husband, since the ones he was using finally died. He's an industrial painter and these work well for him. He can leave his phone at his desk outside of his paintbooth and still listen to music using these. He usually only starts experiencing spotty connection after about 25-30 feet. He uses these on a daily basis, even when he runs every night, and really likes them.The original pair that I bought started acting really weird about a week or so ago, and we couldn't figure out how to reset them or fix them. I contacted company they are sold through, and they were able to help me since the Amazon guarantee had expired. I told the lady what it was doing, how long it had been doing it, and what we had tried to fix it already. She has us try one more thing, and when that didn't work, she sent a replacement set free of charge. It arrived on our doorstep a few days later. The new ones have given us no problems whatsoever, and the fact that the company jumped on it and helped us like that, was awesome.

I own many, many pairs of headphones. My collection includes those from the brands: Audio Technica (by far the best, but > $300), Mpow, Avantree, Panasonic, Philips, MEElectronics, Motorola (buds: no base and tinny), Brainwavz (really good, but also expensive), Koss, Sennheiser and Klipsch. (I own several Klipsch speakers which are great: my Bluetooth box is easily as good as the Bose Soundlink for far less $). As far as sound goes, these Bluetooth headphones by Advanced Soundz are simply awesome: great bass and crisp mid-range and highs – much better than Mpow. Though, have had two pairs fail in the left ear. (That is the ear I lie on when I fall asleep listening to music). One pair failed after a month, the second lasted a year. But Advanced Soundz has an EXCELLENT Warranty – like Hyundai when working to penetrate the auto market - and promptly replaced both pairs. They were replaced promptly without question and without my having to send them back.When the second pair failed I was very disappointed'. I hesitated to call for a warranty replacement since they did last awhile, and thought I would repair them myself. I performed X-ray analysis (I have access to advanced FA tools) and found the cause of the failure. In the end I decided to contact the manufacture – not really for warranty – but to let them know the issue since I intended to buy them again and modify them not to fail. Their engineers were already aware of the need to make the wiring more robust and had been fixing the issue. Further, they honored the warranty immediately: a new pair has been shipped. ' So, GREAT customer service form Advanced Soundz.BOTTOM LINE: a really, REALLY great sounding pair of headphones. They are not Audio Technica like sound, but 10x less expensive and definitely better sounding than any other brand of in-the-ear, or Bluetooth headphones I have. (Note: I am not sure it these support APTx, but they still sound better than the MPOW – by far – that do). I would (and have) recommended these headphones to others to buy. They have, and been and are impressed. If you have a pair from an early manufacturing batch I strongly suggest that you treat them with care. Put them in a case. Don’t throw them in your gym back or brief case with a bunch of stuff, especially if the ear pieces are loose and they will likely last beyond the warranty – which is far better than that offered by other brands. When I receive my newest replacement I will post pics on how to modify in order to prevent speaker failure.Note: What I care about is sound quality.This bluetooth headset has a shorter range than my others; however, I use them while cycling, skiing, riding my lawn tractor, relaxing. I own so many pairs of other brands, since, if I am not satisfied with sound quality I buy new ones. My search ended with these. I you want them for walking around your office while speaking on the phone, and your coffee maker or bathroom is far away, the Motorola buds will do well, but you will not be enjoying your music.
