COULAX Bluetooth Headphones CX04 Wireless Neckband Bluetooth Headset Stereo In-Ear Earbuds with Mic for Running (10 Hours Play Time,CVC 6.0 Noise Cancelling, Magnet Attraction)

Great set of Bluetooth headphones that are comfortable to wear in the ear for long periods of time. I mainly use these at work to listen to audio books and music, its a very noisy manufacturing environment (rivet guns, etc) and I have used many different headphones over the years,some don't cut it due to the background noise overpowering the sound through them or discomfort wearing them, but these are working very well. I have worn for most of a 9 hour shift and I get 2 full days out of a single (2hr) charge.I would highly recommend these earphones to any people who want to get extended use out of them in noisy environments.UpdateBought these on the 28th Feb right earpiece went dead on the 18th April worked really well till then with pretty heavy use but not a great lifespan (just over 6 weeks).

As I don't seem to have much luck with conventional earphones-they never last long no matter how much they cost-I thought I would try Bluetooth ones. These were reasonably priced and had good reviews. I usually walk to work so I have been using them for a week and I'm very pleased. The sound is excellent,they are comfortable and I can put my phone in my bag,which is safer than my trouser pocket. This also illiminates the risk of forgetting my phone is in my back pocket when I go the loo-yes-2 iPods and an iphone have met a watery death! Another plus is they don't get tangled up in knots,even tangle free ones end up in knots despite being carefully placed in a case. My only criticism is that the flap covering the charging port is difficult to open-I use tweezers.

This was a purchase bought for use with a Windows 8 PC and an Android mobile phone. It works very well for me. I find the design comfortable and have used them in the home and outside cutting the grass. The few issues I've had have occurred when using with the PC. If I shut down and restart a game, the headphones appear to lose "base", the sound becomes very tinny and in FPS, you also lose audio orientation which means you will be dead very soon. This can only be resolved (for me) by either stopping and starting the headphones via software (reliable), or by switching the headphones off and on. This can take several "reboots" ( up to five or six) to recover. By contrast, I have no issues with listening to music or video on the phone. It might be that changing audio settings within individual PC games could help.

I bought this device primarily for taking calls while cycling but it's not suitable for this purpose. On the plus side it connects easily, is lightweight and in a controlled environment (like inside a car) it has good sound quality and noise reduction. However, it is unable to deal with wind or background traffic noise when cycling. At times too, the sound quality from the earbuds is very poor. I really wanted this to be good, and it is in the right circumstances, but don't buy it if you want something to use during sports.UPDATE: While I initially gave this just 2 stars because it wasn't suitable for cycling I have to recognise the no quibble response from the manufacturer. They are so focused on customer satisfaction they immediately refunded me when I got in touch to say the device wasn't suitable for cycling. Frankly, with that kind of response you can't go wrong with buying these headphones.

Having waited in anticipation of the headset/headphones arriving, I must say that on first impression they looked the business... The packaging and look of the thing definitely look high quality and fit for purpose.... Unfortunately however, my first impression and initial high expectations were quickly dispelled on picking up the unit and seeing what I can only describe as, speckling on the pseudo crome parts. At first i thought that they must be second hand and if I'm completely honest, I'm still not sure if they are or not!!!Some vigorous buffing seems to have removed the vast majority of the imperfections, however some still remain and that is not what one would expect to do with a new product.So.... With regard to the actually quality of the thing I can say this; which i base upon the fact that I have previously owned two far more expensive LG versions which i loved. That said, sound quality..... I like! Big bass, high volume via bluetooth on my phone, reasonably good quality of sound although noticeable clarity difference to the LG. All in all a great attempt at replication.... However, after half a days' use i can see why they are reduced so much. They are (in my opinion) only worth the reduced price. How on earth they could have been touted for around £50 astonishes me..... The range is atrocious, even when the transmitting device (my phone) is in my backpack on my back and the headphones on my neck..... No matter how well other aspects have been matched to more expensive and known brands, the poor range and detrimental effect on listening pleasure that results from it, is simply unacceptable. I intend to return the unit and go for another heavily reduced set I've seen and if they prove to be as mediocre as these, I'll fork out for anothe LG pair, despite the fact that I keep breaking them because of their rather delicate construction.. Something these sorely lack. The the star rating is primarily given for volume, bass and sale price. If cheap and mediocre is your thing, knock yourself out....
