13-month Workout Review: Fantastic, especially for the price
I have been dying to write a review for months, because these headphones are really that good.Disclaimer: I use these almost exclusively for working out and occasionally for hands free phone calls around the house and walking to the grocery store.In order of importance to me, for working out:1. The fit: Excellent, for me that is. I use the tips that came with them and have had zero issues with the buds themselves. The only flaw I can find, and I have to be looking for a flaw in the fit to find one, is the cord. For some reason, the natural shape of the cord is not perfectly fluid, meaning it tends to gravitate to the left side of my head instead of the center. This only happens when I wear the strap behind me, as I do for everything except back squats and lunges with the bar on my shoulders. I find the fit to be incredibly comfortable, and the drawback of the cord overshadows the advantage of never losing them and being able to carry them around my neck when they're not in.2. The sound: Very good. I am by no means an audiophile, but I know bad speakers/headphones when I hear them. These are not those. These do have good bass (I mostly listen to hip-hop, oldies, and podcasts - don't judge me) and all-around a well-balanced sound. No, they are not $300 headphones, but I have literally no complaints about the sound. It isn't lacking in anything enough for me, an average Joe, to notice.3. Connectivity: Great. I only use them with one phone (Galaxy S8) and have minimal issues with the connection. They are connected as soon as I turn them on (granted, that takes about 3 seconds), and they rarely go in and out and didn't at all for the first 8 months of ownership. Even since then, I hardly notice and when they go out for a moment it's about a quarter second and only happens once every maybe 1-2 hours of playtime. Very much a non-issue unless you can't stand life's most minor inconveniences.3.5. Bluetooth range: Acceptable. If you plan to let your broadcasting device sit in one spot as you move all around the gym or run around a track, you'll run into issues. That's just not an option. I have however left it at the gym and walked across a few machines and have had no problem. I can leave my phone stationary and do 20 meter sprints max before they start to cut out. So, I hold my phone as I run. Not a big issue for me, but should be a dealbreaker for you if you plan to not have your music/podcast/media broadcasting device with you while you run outside.4. Microphone/calling: Quite good. The phone call readout is nice ("Incoming call from 800-555-5555") and pressing the power button accepts it, and hangs it up when you're done. I will use the headphones when I'm on a phone call and am leaving my phone plugged in, read: it works around the house without any issues in adjacent rooms. I have accepted phone calls while biking before, and the wind was an issue with the mic. This is to be expected, but keep that in mind if for some reason you plan to do a lot of talking through these with a lot of audio disturbance.5. Durability: Satisfactory. This is technically 1st on my list because if it sucked it would be an issue, but because they hold up I don't even think about it. I don't have much to say because I'm nice to my electronics, however I have accidentally done back squats without moving the cord in front of my head and squatted with a ~150lb bar on my back resting on the cord and have never noticed an issue. I have been caught in the rain (never too heavy) with these bad boys on and that never seemed to affect the performance. Mind you, it's happened maybe 4 times and was not for a long time.6. Battery Life: Really good. Like the durability, would be higher if it was an issue but it never has been. My only complaint here is I wish you got more than about a 5 minute warning on them (maybe an hour or so would be great, but maybe they've fixed that in the last year). If I only have 5 minutes left on the battery I'm probably mid-workout and then I'm just stuck finishing the workout without music. However, the battery lasts for quite a while (I'd believe the 9 hour number they mention, although my guess would be closer to 6-7) and they're quick to charge if I know I'm going to need them for a sustained amount of time.These headphones are definitely worth the risk of dropping a full $30 on and I'd buy them again in a heartbeat if something happened to mine, even if it was a defect in the product. Over a year of quality use so far has been well worth the money I spent ($23.97 at the time).

Fantastic product!
I love the quality, durability, and longevity of these earbuds. Unfortunately they weren't in stock the last time I tried to purchase them recently. I hope they are back in stock asap. Highly recommended.

Great 'bang for your buck' bluetooth headphones.
I'm struggling to decide if these deserve 4 or 5 stars.First off lets get something out of the way, they are great! Don't hesitate to buy them if you need a cheap, quality fully featured pair of bluetooth headphones. I got them yesterday and wore them all night, and am wearing them this morning, and I am so glad I bought them. They were exactly what I needed, and I didn't waste money on the more expensive brands like Beats.For $40, you really can't go wrong with all the features that come with this. You get a nice little hardshell case, three different ear-tip sizes, and a small optional little clip to secure the excess cord if you wanted to do that. The headphones come with a built in mic that apparently sounds good. While I haven't personally listened to what someone sounds like using them, I've talked to two people on the phone using them, and both people told me I sounded fine.The headphones have full controls on them, which can be honestly overwhelming. Volume +/-, play, pause, skip/previous track, answer/end/reject call, mute mic, last number redial. The only downside with these is besides the volume +/- (which have their own dedicated buttons) and the skip/previous track which is just long pressing the volume +/- buttons, all of the other commands are done through just one button, via either using multiple quick presses, long holds, etc. If you used these headphones everyday, i'm sure you would eventually remember them all. But for me, just pulling them out of my duffel bag once a day for an hour, I doubt i'll remember them. I wish there was some more dedicated buttons they would have added to make it a bit more intuitive. But, like I said, the fact that these features are even there, is amazing for a budget priced headphones, so it's hard to gripe.So let's get to the sound, a very touchy argument. On one hand, they sound fine. On the others, they are are little too bassy and lack treble. I am not an 'audiophile' who carrys around a dedicated amp/dac in my pocket, and only listens to FLAC. Out of the box, I wasn't thrilled about how they sounded. They sound fine, but they really do lack on the higher end. While they lean towards the bassy side, its more of a flat bass, and not really going to compliment rap/edm music like you picture "bassy" headphones to sound.Now again, keep in mind that these weren't meant to be your daily driver headphones, so its hard to knock them when they sound great for just being some cheap gym/running bluetooth headphones. If you're strictly just using them to get your workout on, they sound find, and you can disregard everything, cause I doubt youll be dissapointed.To remedy the sound problem, I've bee using a third party EQ app on my android phone (Music Volume EQ by K&K design), and once I raised the high end and lowered the mids a tad, I got them sounding amazing. I'm aware most people don't want to do that or even know how, which is why I don't think its fair to base my rating off of the sound post-eq. However I will say if whatever app or phone your using to listen to them with offers an eq setting, try cycling through the presets, I'm sure youll find a setting that can compliment where these headphones lack. If you can manually eq, try lowering 230hz around -4 and raising 14khz +10. It makes these things sound great. However, I think i'm going to have to deduct just 1 star for out of the box sound. Again, not terrible, just not stellar.As far as battery life goes, so far i've used less than a quarter of the battery (as stated by the little indicator on my phone), and I've got about 3 hours and some change on them so far, which seems it may last more than the 7hours the description states. So thats a plus.Hoped that helps!
