JLab Epic 2 Wireless Bluetooth Sports Earbuds | Bluetooth 4.0 | 12 Hour Playtime | Waterproof IP55 Rated | Microphone Included | 8mm Drivers | Blue Gray

I've owned several pairs of workout headphones and theyve all been good. Had a couple pair of isport monster headphones, bose sport headphones, jvc, and power beats 2.0. I ran in them in temperatures from 20°F - 100+°F and also in the gym for light and intense workouts. Some of those got uncomfortable around the hour and half Mark and just painfull at around 2 hour mark and would often times bruise the inside of my ear and I would have to shove then back in or readjust them every 30min or so, but they did the job so they were OK. I've worked out 4 times in these so far, ran 3 miles 4 times, and did a long run (15ish miles) and these have not just been good but have set the standard for exceptionally extraordinary headphones for me. Starting with the sound, they leave little wanting, strong for full range of sound, the bass is a little heavy but that is good for a pair of workout headphones, the bass keeps you going. Mids are a little off but not by much. For comfort, it's like you're not wearing any headphones at all. If you take the time to fit the headphones properly it'll be as if you're not wearing headphones at all, they are so light you can't feel them and fit so perfectly there's no pressure put on any part of you're ear. I at least expected them to hurt a little after my long run but never once did they hurt.As for movability and durability, i can turn my head in any direction without feeling the cord pull, have one earbud pop out, or have an earbud become unadjusted. A problem I had with the other headphone was when I ran in the heat the plastics on them would become squishy and eventually after normally around 4 months any type of pastic insulation/material or glue that held the headphones together would fall off(power beats, im looking at you). The real feel temperature of my long run was 106°F in the beginning and 94°F when I ended with about 70% humidity the entire time, not once did the material of these headphones feel cheap or like it was going to fall apart and they stayed in place the entire time, only time I had to readjust was when I doused myself with water.Connecting to bluetooth was as easy as can be, and the connection stays, never once have I had it skip or lose connection while I was relativly near it. I can put my phone down in the gym and walk a good ways away before it starts to loose connection.One thing that a lot of people don't initially think of is how well they fit while wearing sunglasses. A lot of headphone's with an ear clip make it uncomfortable to wear sunglasses with them and from my experience an ear clip is the only way to make sure the headphones don't fall out. These are great to wear with sunglasses, as long as you fit them properly to your ear they don't get in the way of sunglasses.The cable management system is great as well. Keep all the wires in place and out of your way.Somthing else to keep in mind is that most headphones are water resistant and sweat resistant, not proof. Part of what made my power beats 2.0 and isports go out was that my sweat would eat away at the material slowly. Even with me cleaning them after every workout the combination of heat and sweat eventually took its toll and put them in my bone yard of headphones. These headphones are water/sweat PROOF (blood and tears proof is also advertised, but i haven't had a chance to test that out yet). I can pour water on me with zero worries, sweat as much as I can, instead of taking time to clean them with as little liquid as possible I can just run them under water. I have not swam in them yet but plan to soon. If you're looking for a pair of headphones that sound better than any other workout headphones you've ever had, fit better, move with you better, made better, are strong enough to handle you're most intense workouts, and look good then you can stop looking because these are it.Those are all the pros, so the cons.The cover for the USB port feels cheap. Like it'll break if I'm not super careful when pulling it off. The cord that connects the earbuds is not very thick which makes me worried it'll break. And that's it really.Honestly I've never had a better pair of workout headphones.

I was looking for a wireless headset to listen to music with and not deal with wired buds that break. I used a Droid Turbo for music. This is what I found:Battery life: 5/5 (10-12 hours). This also depends on how loud you have the music on. The time is pretty accurate as commute 3.0 hrs each day to and from work and it lasted me almost the 4th day.Sound quality: 4/5. The sound is very clear and bass is pretty solid (not overbearing). What I noticed was that the sound quality also DID depend on what program I used to listen to music. No EQ used.Bluetooth connection: 2/5. This is one of the most annoying parts of the device. I travel a lot throughout NYC during the day and I walk most of the time. What I noticed was that when I am in an isolated area (with little interference), the connection is SOLID and the songs don't skip. BUT - when I am ANYWHERE congested or near a school,. hospital, police/fire station or emergency/utility vehicles pass (or even some cars!), the bluetooth is terrible. I could end up missing 50% of the song. When I get to isolated areas or in the subway or on the bus, the connection is great. Walking on the street, I pass pedestrians and the bluetooth connection will cut in and out..As a result of the connection issue for NYC, I gave it a 3. If you plan on using it in the gym or just running, then it may be the right product but not when you travel on the streets of NYC.So this item was delivered on 12/27/2016 (ordered from Amazon.com). As of today (06/14/2017), the item will no longer charge. Left it plugged in for a few hours and still not working. For $100 dollars, that beyond pathetic. I would stay away from the product unless you live in the boonies with zero chance of interference and have tons of money to burn.Update (2/8/19):So my replacement did arrive and it lasted till this one I bought on 11/1/2018. The ear piece that bends is somewhat temperamental so it doens't like to be bent around much, find a sweet spot and leave it. With the one I purchased on 11/1/18, the cap that covers the charging port is now made of plastic vs silicone thus terrible to open to charge your headset. I end up having ot use a paperclip or something else that thin to open up the port otherwise you can't charge your phone! After about 5 weeks, the little tip tore off so I had to glue on a tiny piece of plastic so I could actually grip the cover. Not really sure why they changed this but it ended up being for the worse.Update 3/15/19 - 5 months after buying the replacement, it will no longer charge.. As a result of the decreasing reliability, I see they dropped the price 25%! (100-75). Honestly, unless you want to keep buying one every 5 months, spend the extra money to get a quality durable one or spend a fraction of the price and get a cheap pair that will last just as long but if it breaks cost 1/2 the price so replacing it wont be so expensive! I was hoping for these to last but I have to find another company....
