NuForce Optoma BE2 Wireless Bluetooth Earphones with Patented SpinFit eartips, 10h Battery, Microphone, AAC Support for iPhone

I own a slew of headphones (and have owned dozens all told) and for $45, these phones are tough to beat. No, they are not audiophile-quality sound, but with a bit of EQing, they can be made to behave. I find the treble a bit plasticky, for lack of a better term, but what's most amazing is the convenience for being out and about. Just clasp them around your neck with the magnets, no case, no hassle. And the combination of convenience with decent SQ is a winner.This doesn't mean I will be chucking my $400 custom phones any time soon, or even dump my pair of Westone W20s with custom tips either. Both are great on the go options. But for working out, or walking the dog etc., these phones really are fantastic.Only caveats so far is battery life (haven't tested it completely yet) and durability. If they last, both in terms of recharges required and long-term viability, then you can't really go wrong. Jury is out on that aspect of the BE2s but otherwise, a great cheap addition to any collection. And the tips that come installed, the bi-flanges, work perfectly for me too, very comfy. Overall, the design is the best I've had in terms of BT phones (I only tried a few). Much preferred to on-ear phones for BT, which I own as well (Monster iSport Freedoms, which I got as a replacement for the old Miles Davis Trumpet phones).Update:So I have been using the BE2s for about week and with some EQ tweaking, they have improved. Not sure I believe in burn in, but for whatever reason (maybe my EQ skills) the treble is smoothed out and now they really are a fun listen. Audiophile? No. But nothing offensive about their SQ either, guess you can say they are V-shaped and consumer-focused, but not in a negative way at all.In terms of fit, I dumped the bi-flanges for the single tips, and since my right ear canal is a bit smaller I use a small on the right and medium on the left. Perfect comfort, and the controls are so easy to use.Anyone who uses phones on the go can't go wrong with the BE2.

Sound Quality judged by price point is excellent, these rival wired earbuds costing in the $200 range. The BE2 has a surprisingly wide sound stage, with lots of detail. Music sounds very layered, instruments have great separation. Build quality feels great, very solid. These will become the go to ear bud for trips to work, traveling, and work outs.These fit me well, I use the standard double flanged tips that came with the buds. Be sure to pull up on your ear while inserting these for best fit (if you don't know what I mean please good "how to insert earplugs"). When inserted properly these block out a lot of ambient noise. Also important to point out that these stay put while moving around with minimal cord noise.I paired these quickly and easily with an iPhone 7+ and an iPad pro. These do have a spoken status aid while pairing, powering on and off, so you can put these in your ear and hear that they've entered pairing mode, or that you've properly powered them off, which is a feature you'll appreciate I'm sure.Overall I am very pleased with these bud and impressed with sound, ease of use, and build quality. I have yet to test out battery life, but if I see an issues I will report them to you guys!

I was a little reluctant to purchase these based on past product reviews of Bluetooth buds. I've been using wired Nuforce 600s for the past couple of years and have been very happy with them. No issues. I wasn't expecting very much with these buds as I jumped right in after they came on the market, but after charging them and powering them up I was completely blown away. They paired up quickly and easily with my iPhone. Yes Optima has a winner here. At $49 they are an incredible steal. If I hadn't known I would've thought they were at least 3 to 4 times the price. I thought my 600's sounded good, but these are just so much better. No dropouts no hissing no buzzing. Terrific soundstage, great low-end and very nice Midrange and highs. I haven't run through the battery yet, so I can't comment on that. Swapped out the standard buds for the smaller ones which fit my ears better. Very comfortable. Build quality seems good especially at this price point. So I'm anticipating and hoping that they hold up well. Once again, I truly feel they are a steal and anyone who makes this purchase will be quite pleased. Way to go NuForce!

Purchased BE Sport4 July 2019. These buds were AWESOME (had them for 1.5 years)!! Only reason they broke is I accidentally pulled too hard one time. The BE Sport 4 was my workout bud - it always transmitted sound from the other side of the gym, never fell out of my ears thanks to the ear hook design, extremely durable in all types of weather & temperatures, and magnets worked great when I wore them around my neck.NuForce has clearly downgraded. As you can see, the ear hooks are no longer included. These things fall out of my ears when I workout, so now I have to be conscious of head position during exercises and how violently I move my head around. The sound range is also markedly diminished (like within 15 feet or so it starts to "hiccup"). The magnets are also weaker.I miss my bud :-(

Después de comprar uno, terminé comprando otros 3 para algunos familiares, el micrófono es bueno pero solo en ambientes donde hay silencio ya que tiende a percibir cualquier sonido incluso si este ocurre lejos, por lo que no son la mejor opción para tomar llamadas en la calle o lugares concurridos, el sonido es muy bueno por el precio que ocasinoalmente ronda los 600 pesos mexicanos, cuesta un poco acostumbrarse a las dichosas gomitas patentadas PERO una vez que lo haces en verdad cumplen lo que dicen acerca de no caerse, me gustaría que tuvieran una pinza para sujetarse a la ropa sin embargo el precio (que es variable) ha llegado a ser tan bueno que es difícil enconrar peros.Después de casi 6 meses no he tenido ningún problema grave, incluso después de perder unos, compré otro más y sigo satisfecho; sin embargo hay que hacer ciertas observaciones:1. El micrófono tiene buena calidad pero muchas veces resulta muy sensible incluso más sensible para sonidos externos que tu propia voz cuando llamas.2. Tanto el diseño de las gomas como el diseño de los audífonos los hace propensos a que estas se caigan (especialmente si tienes oídos que sudan), no he perdido ninguna pero si he sufrido buscándolas ya que ocasionalmente se caen con el roce accidental con cualquier cosa, casi siempre después de haberlos usado un rato (una solución es limpiar el interior de las gomas y el lugar donde se ponen de modo que no tengan sudor o algún residuo de los oídos que haga que se resbalen)3. La recepción de bluetooth es buena, sin embargo puede sufrir de cortes repentinos y a veces largos si bloqueas con algo el control de los audífonos, o si algo muy grande se interpone entre la fuente bluetooth y el control, esto lo noté ya que muchas veces oía música mientras ponía una mochila de tamaño promedio en mi regazo, teniendo mi teléfono en mi bolsillo, pero simplemente con dejar un espacio libre se soluciona.4. En algunos teléfonos android con las versiones más recientes (Bluetooth 5.0 y android 8.0) es necesario presionar el botón de play después de que se escucha "Device connected", con el fin de poder escuchar música, de otro modo solo se escucharán las llamadas, esto es por alguna especie de problema en el codec bluetooth, ya que en esas versiones recientes de android (8.0) ya es posible usar AAC y estos teléfonos intentan inicialmente conectarse usando ese codec, pero algo ocurre que no permite escuchar música o multimedia en general, al parecer se arregla a partir de Android 8.1, para los que sepan del aspecto técnico, tiene que ver con la versión de AVRCP que se implementó en android 8.0 que manejaba las versiones más recientes (a partir de la 1.4) fue hasta android 8.1 que agregaron compatibilidad con la versión 1.3 que parece no tener problemas con esto.Notas:-AVRCP es el protocolo que se usa para los controles como volumen y reproducción.-El punto 4 podría estar relacionado con el problema del punto 3 acerca de la recepción.-Es posible que el punto 4 pase únicamente con teléfonos con android puro en su versión 8.0 y que además tengan bluetooth 5.0.-Esto lo comprobé con los 4 modelos que adquirí y es consistentente entre los 4, sin embargo la calidad de audio y construcción vale mucho la pena, especialmente cuando se encuentran en el rango de los 700 pesos mexicanos, precio que alcanzan intermitentemente durante el año.

Todo me gustó de ellos, la calidad, comodidad, diseño, todo. El volumen estaba decente no requería mas y tambien aislaban muy bien el sonido exterior. Lo que también me gusto mucho era que la batería es de las que más dura en el mercado hasta 10 horas.Solo una cosa importante NO me gustó: la calidad de audio no me gustó mucho, los sonidos altos no eran claros y tenían mucho medio, un tono de medios que no me gustaba. Los bajos estaban bien, nada especial. En resumen, podía quedarmelos por los 650 pesos aprox que pague (muy buen precio en descuento).Pero finalmente los regresé porque el boton de volumen abajo no funcionaba, subir volumen, cambiar canción hacia adelante y poner pausa si funcionaban. Pero el boton de bajar volumen y regresar canción no.

Excelentes audífonos si deseas tener manos libre. El sonido no es lo mejor que puede encontrarse en el mercado, pero, por el precio, es mejor que muchos IEM y TW. Lo que puede realzar el sonido son sus puntas SpinFit, solo es cuestión de encontrar el punto para insertarlos en las orejas, al inicio pueden ser un poco incómodos, pero cuando se acostumbra y encuentra la forma de insertarlos se vuelven cómodos, ligeros y no se mueven.

Not bad at all especially considerering price, im a mechanic and i use these in the shop, i work a 10 hour shift and at half volume itll last the whole shift and then some, it fits ok, it seems like the left fits me better then the right but i think thats me more then the earphones, after wearing them for some time(4 hours or more) you notice them in your ear but what earphones are comfortable all day long? Sound is pretty good but your not buying these for sound, more for functionality which is awesome one thing i love about them is they have independent volume so you leave your phone on full volume and can control with the earphones without fumbling for your phone. sometimes while walking around it may get crackly momentarily but its really not all that noticeable, honestly theyre the best ive had, ive tried the jay birds and theyre bad not comfortable and lasts maybe 5 hours, you really cant go wrong for this price.

After all the rave reviews I purchased these headphones for the gym. However, even before using them they have turned out bad. They refused to connect via Bluetooth to my iPhone. I tried at least 10 times, even restarting my phone. But they just did not get detected on the iPhone. To test the phone’s Bluetooth connectivity, I tried connecting it to a friends phone and speakers, and I had NO problems at all!These are very disappointing earphones. Totally avoid purchasing
