Solid sound good product, pairs easily
Just received my Phaiser bluetooth headphones and thus far they are great. Charges up really quickly and has solid sound. I am a music guy (bass player) so I love the way the low end comes through. Loud and clear. Paired up very easily with my iPhone 7Plus. so far so good. Really like the little case in comes in as well as the two extra sets of cushions for the ear pieces. Will update if anything changes. Very interested in seeing how long a charge lasts...3/11/17. Battery life seems to be about 10 hours. I like that it actually tells you when the battery is low rather than having it sputter to a halt mid-run.At one point the connectivity to be iPhone 7 Plus went away. I removed it from the list of bluetooth items on my phone and then shut off the headphones and restarted them. Then my phone found them. It was kind of weird because prior to removing I was getting the message to make sure they were 'within range' and they were on my head as I was holding my phone. anyway, removing them from the list on the phone and then restarting the headset worked.Sound is still great. these things can get seriously loud. no way your ears could stand them turned up. they would blow out your ear drums.7/13/17 - update. Still work great. I like that the charge lasts around 12 hours of playing time, plus letting you know when the charge is low "low battery" sounds off after a while. one issue. the plastic around the one ear piece is starting to split, where the line goes into the ear piece. still functions, but this might lead to problems down the road. see photos. I am pretty gentle on these. don't abuse them, so the split was unexpected.

Just Get It!
I purchased this item on a whim because I was tired of the cord to my headphones getting caught in my dogs leash when I took him for a walk. I wanted something affordable, yet durable.I'm happy to report that the item I received completely exceeded my expectations. I had no idea how much I would enjoy using this little device.The range is great and the sound quality for music is superb (I have yet to use it on a phone call). The instruction booklet was easy to understand and pairing the device was a breeze. It didn't take me long to figure out the controls.The customer service is stellar as well. It is obvious that the designer/seller of this headset truly believes in his product and stands by it 100%. That alone speaks novels! I guess my excitement was contagious because several of my friends purchased their own after listening to me gush and testing mine out for a few minutes.My only (teeny tiny) complaint is that the price dropped $4 the day after I made my purchase. Typical! Haha, at least my friends got lucky. In all seriousness, though, how can I really complain? This is a fantastic price for a durable, high quality product. I would certainly purchase again, and I will continue to recommend this product to anyone who will listen.(I will update this review if I run into any issues, but I honestly don't think that will be necessary!)

Just freaking amazing!!!
The seller of this product goes the extra mile to deliver a premium product at a fair price. I was more than impressed when the merchandise was in a sealed box, I got to cut the tamper proof seal, proof that the mailman wasn't using them before me.... They fit my big head and sound amazing, used them for making calls and also for listening to some music and audible...

Good sound quality, but awkward fit - Ears hurt
The Headphones sound quality is good and the range is also very good, as I was able to move through the gym without any issues. However the reason I am giving them 2 stars is the Fit. I bought these because they looked similar to my previous Headphones, which I loved, but these sit in the ear in an awkward position and hurt after a while. First I thought it was the Comply Memory Foam tips, but even after changing the tips I realized it is the position of the earbuds tips (pointing upwards), that push the body of the earbud against the my outer ear. I could not have them on for even 20 minutes before they started hurting. I tried moving them a little bit, adjusting the position up or down, changing tips, but I could not get them to not hurt. It is so unfortunate, because the sound quality was good, but I really cant use them.

Quality running headphones that don't fall out and stand up to long runs
EDIT #2: After reaching out to the company, they sent a replacement with their apologies. I'll be honest, I had my doubts they would hold up after the battery issue, so I waited and used these for several months. No issues. I guess the pair I initially received were really just a fluke. Another positive of this experience: not once did the company hound me to change my review. It seems every time I leave a critical review the company may replace it, but then wants me to change to a 5 star review because they replaced or refunded. I was never asked to change my review once, which really says to me that these guys have confidence in their product and believe it truly will last.EDIT: These were the *perfect* headphones for a few months. The night before my first marathon with these, I topped off the charge with some extra juice. Standing at the starting line I turned them on to get amped for the race - totally dead!!! Won't turn on at all!! So disappointed! Will contact seller to see if a replacement will fix this issue, but it's going to take me a long time to trust these, if ever, again.When I first came across these, I was on the exact journey that Phaiser describes in their description - I've been a regular runner for about 5 years and have struggled hard to find headphones that don't suck. Up until these, I had almost only tried wired headphones to avoid having to manage yet another battery-powered device.I've bought special "made for runners" headphones off Amazon, some bulky ones that hook around the ears from Radioshack or Target, and always have the same issues:-Falling out or moving out enough to create a sound imbalance-Shorting out with sweat, despite being "water resistant"-Cord getting in the way or moving-Poor sound quality-Moving in ears while runningI knew there HAD to be something that worked, and I definitely wasn't going to spend $100+ on "deluxe" headphones because a) that's ridiculous and b) people shouldn't have to pay that much money for quality sound and simple comfort.I have been VERY impressed with these headphones overall and have only found minimal features to complain about.Testing: I run a lot and used these several times a week. Sometimes I wore a hat and hood and/or sunglasses, which took some adjustment, but was doable without sound loss. I ran in freezing weather as well as steady rain. My runs ranged from 4 miles to 16; 30mins to over 2 hours.Pros:-They ACTUALLY STAY IN YOUR EARS. While it's impossible to have headphones not move at all while you're running, these come pretty damn close. Even when running in the rain, they just need minor adjustments now and again. This was with the regular plastic inserts too, not the fancy foam ones.-Sound quality is great, though the slight noise cancellation features take some getting used to (can't hear myself or anything around me almost at all)-Comfortable for long runs (2+ hours)-Battery life is very long - 8hrs is a good estimate, but might be low. After about 3 weeks of running with them several times a week, they only got down to 30%-No cord and nothing to get in the way, connecting plastic arm doesn't bounce on your neck or get annoyingCons:-Button Design: Phaiser - WHY did you make the buttons so small and WHY is it so hard to skip songs????? I almost took a star off for the buttons alone, they're all very small and the skip function is double-tapping the volume-up button. It's hard and annoying! Why can't it be the play/pause twice? Who's using these to make phone calls??I get questions all the time about the equipment I use while running and I've always been very negative about headphones. For over a year at a time I would simply give up listening to music while running because I couldn't stand having to deal with obnoxious, ill-fitting headphones the whole time. Phaiser actually did it - they've created a quality product that I'm proud to wear and tell EVERYONE about.

Great headphones overall for the price.
I was looking for a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones that kept a consistent signal, had good range and were plenty loud. I also wanted a pair with this design as the wired pair with the controls mid-wire were a pain to operate on the go and I'm always nervous that tugging on this portion will eventually cause a short in the wire- something a WIRELESS headphone user shouldn't ever have to deal with. With that, I'm pretty happy with these except for one area, but I'll break that down below:(Tested on an iPhone 6)GOOD:-comfortable fit-intuitive, Bluetooth headset inspired controls-good button functionality/ capability-high quality mic for hands-free phone calls/phone commands-keeps exterior sound at bay quite well-higher volume range nice & loud-great range-good battery life/short charge time-nice extras with packageSo keep in mind, these things are good for the PRICE. chances are, you can find better options listed if you pay more, but if you're talking about total package at the price listed, this one is better than a lot of its competitors. I was especially impressed with how well this set functioned as a hands free set. Typically, your sport headphones don't come with a great mic which is a shame when you're trying to take a call on the run and have to stop and scream. No issues with this set ( I did not test in windy conditions, so I'm unsure if the mic will pick the wind up and interfere with a call). Also, the button design on the right earpiece is pretty stellar because there are only three buttons and they're well separated- main function on top and volume +/- on bottom. Easy for the fingers to figure out on their own. I like the functions the buttons provide as well. Quick double click of volume buttons to change tracks, single click of function button to play/pause and double click to activate phone commands-especially helpful for hands-free calling/commands. The set surprised me in how well it was able to keep exterior sound out and how it did so even in the mid-low range- no need to risk deafening yourself for an immersive sound that negates exterior noise, but if you want, this set is completely capable with how loud it can get. The range is listed at 33 feet- at higher battery levels I would argue that it's closer to 50 in the open and 35 through standard house walls. Once the battery is halved, this diminishes a bit but if you're about 20 feet away regardless of battery life, you will be fine. Speaking of battery; the life on this thing is stellar and the standby life is great as well. I like that the set also tells you the battery life on startup. The included items are a nice mix of your standard stuff plus some extras- I particularly enjoyed the ear-plug like inserts that are great if your REALLY want to be immersed in whatever is playing and not have to worry about the set shifting around on you when you're active and your head is all over the place. All in all, great features on a capable set that serves it's purpose for sport and is a great headset replacement as well.BAD:-takes a while to secure a fit tha feels even on both ears-sound quality is lackingIt can take some adjustment to get a good fit every time you put these on. When you're done, it's comfortable, but it can be a pain to get there- rotating the earpieces and moving the back piece several times to secure a good fit. This next one is huge: The sound quality is lacking and this is where the one star gets taken off for an otherwise stellar product. The midrange too high and makes listening to certain music difficult. On top of this, certain low frequencies make the bass sound washed out or too quiet. I have very eclectic musical taste and while not a complete audiophile, I expect my products that I purchase for sound to have good quality output in that department and I feel like that should be the focus- everything else from there is a feature or ancillary to the sound producing product. For the price, the sound is bearable and I really enjoy the hands free piece as well as the fact that I can actually use this sport set as intended for both music AND hands free. For this reason, it's become a replacement for both my sports set AND my hands free Bluetooth device and this is why I give it 4 stars. The sound isn't BAD per-se. The sound QUALITY is just lacking in a few frequencies, but to the casual listener or the non-hip hop fan, it's a good sport set of headphones with other great features not worth passing up if you're interested in consolidating your hands-free and sports set for a great price.

Pros & Cons... from an expert
These are the all-time record-holder for LOUD VOLUME (Congrats! good job.) all time record-holder for BASS, (again, well done.) and great waterproofing. All these are good. Here are a couple of issues...1) These are bluetooth 2.0. For those who don't know we're on bluetooth 5 now. That means you have to re-connect them to your phone or tablet manually by entering your bluetooth menu, EVERY SINGLE TIME you turn them off. - This mildly distresses me because my 3 other most recent headsets re-paired automatically.2) Color accuracy. The purple ones are actually pink. (See picture of headset next to actually purple items from Amazon.)3) No highs in the audio. - I almost feel like this should be a BONUS for these because SOOOO MANY other headsets have only highs and can't produce bass to save their lives. These are all bass. Nothing really present above 5K because of the waterproofing.4) Ouch. - Most bluetooth headsets hurt after 2 hours or so.... some are absolutely abysmal... these are in the dead middle of the pack. LG-HBS-900s can be worn till you pass out and never hurt you. Plantronics 903+, same deal. These... you get about 2 hours before the pinch sets in.But they're loud, and waterproof and less than half the price so make your call. :)

Great for working out
Really like these. Would compare them to a version of Mpow, but those were terrible. I have gone through countless Bluetooth brands including Beats, and these are probably my favorite. My one complaint is the Bluetooth range. It is very sporadic. Sometimes I can go 30 ft away and not lose connection, while other times it starts skipping and having connection issues when my phone is on the ground right by the bench. Other than that issue, I really like these. They don't fall out, and seem to hold up to my constant sweating (gross amounts of sweating). Time will tell.On a side note, the sellers and/or owners send way too many emails asking for a review.

*****BEWARE*****HIGH PITCHED SCREECHING*****
I've tried no less than 3 pairs of these HOPING it was just my device but NO - these earbuds all failed.They will ALL fail with 'out of range' message at some point. And then they will for no reason, produce a high-pitched screeching noise that forces you to eject them from your ear. I made the mistake during my first pair purchase, of recommending these to a colleague and the earbuds produced this same squealing sound. Would not be surprise by future claims!Just move on before something worse happens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Updated.Yes the customer service was good but it cant make up for the lack in quality products.DO NOT BUY.After 3 pairs of trying - ALL FAILED WITHIN 1-3 months.First off, seller customer service is excellent. Quick to respond and make things right.Now about the product.First got them and they paired easily and sounded great.Even took a flight and they are very quiet and comfortable with great noise reduction.Stay on great when doing yard work and again - muffles the loud power equipment.Then after a few weeks....comes the little voice "Out of Range". I literally hand the phone and earbuds laying right next to each other. And gets worst and more frequent with every passing day until they are not usable.And yes, update firmware, phone os, reboot, hard reset, you name it. They just die!

Worked well for 2-3 months.
These worked great for the first 2-3 months that I used them. No problems connecting it or keeping a connection. Good sound quality. However, after a couple months I had a couple times where a loud screeching noise would come through and the headphones would disconnect - this was when I was within an arm’s reach of my phone. I didn’t care too much about that, but then two days ago, the right side completely stopped working. There’s only sound coming from the left side, so these now are practically unusable after less than 4 months. I am not happy at all, especially since these weren’t super cheap (not expensive by any means, but there are cheaper options). I would not recommend these.

Dysfunctional
Purchased two months ago. Headphones power off intermittently despite having (and displaying) a full charge. Makes running with them a huge hassle. This occurs regardless of what source I use them with.

Warranty replacement also stopped working.
Used for 11 months. Connection dropped often. Replaced under warranty with good experience. After one month replacement started to drop connection & have garbled sound. Used with iPhone 6s & iPhone X. Newest iOS at all times. You may have different experience. I have moved on to a different earphone.

... far I'm impressed and the Phaiser is so much better than the similar Mpow headphones
So far I'm impressed and the Phaiser is so much better than the similar Mpow headphones.Pros- The rear headband is more flexible than the Mpow hopefully less prone to breaking like 2 of my Mpows have in the past year. The band has just enough flex and strength to hold tight in my ears but not too strong so as to break where the band inserts into the earpiece.- Contrary to what one reviewer said these headphones are Bluetooth v4.1 (not 2.0 and do not need to be re-paired to a device each time powered off/on).- Walking through a very crowded environment with my Mpow headphones would always 100% stutter and breakup. The Phaiser did stutter for a brief moment but nothing like the Mpows. Impressive.- The controls work much better.- Powering On and Off are fast, like 1 second. Nice. And the addition of announcing the battery level, really nice.- They sound great.- The price of $26, you cant go wrong. Honestly these are really decent bluetooth headphones.

Great earbuds
Well so far so good. I just received my Bluetooth earbuds and did a workout and I was very impressed. I haven't run with them yet but whilst twisting and bending up and down I had no problems with them staying in my ears. They were also comfortable for the hour I had them in. Charging them and then pairing them to my iPod was easy. The controls are on the right ear for turning the earbuds on and off and volume control. It takes a little getting used to the volume control as the buttons; as expected are not that big, but I got better at using them as my feel for the controls got better. As I said I've only wore them once. The sound quality is really good and the distance the Bluetooth works is approximately 10 meters. That suits me really well for the gym or around the house. The earbuds come with other size buds, charging cable, easy instruction booklet and I really like the zipper storing pouch they come in. It's sturdy and not too big. I love the purple colour I ordered (they are black and purple). I also like that the ear buds don't stick out from my ears. They don't look bulky. Anyway I'm loving them so far and hope they last a long time. I think the price is great and they were packaged well and arrived on time. I would recommend them and the seller. Thanks for reading.

3 Headsets Compared
Tested 3 different sets of wireless bluetooth headphones in the $15-$30 range. Here is my experience.Phaiser BHS-530- Sound: Lots of bass here. Missing some richness in the mids and the highs are not as crisp as they should be. Would recommend these for bassheads or listeners of genres that need lots of bass.- Comfort: Truly the only major drawback is the feel of these. I am using the memory foam tips as they tend to hold the headset in place the best. As you move your head side to side the back wire rubs and creates a minor brushing sound. This becomes more problematic with the silicone tips as they move around in your ear affecting the sound. I have no problem wearing glasses with these. There are a bit bulky which maybe makes them the least fashionable of the 3 I tested. The control is easy to use and connects without issue.- Accessories: The foam eartips included are great. The carrying case is a nice touch, though the headphones dont fold up into it easily.- Overall : These are great for the price. If the battery life is truly 10+ hours then these are likely best in class.CCK KS Parkour- Sound: Less bass than the Phaisers and Soudpeats. It doesn't lack bass, but the emphasis is more on the mid and high end. Liked the mids here but they came off a little tinny. The voice and beeps that confirm activation are too loud. The headphones themselves are actually quite loud compared to the other two.- Comfort: The units fit surprisingly well. However, the cord that attaches them is too long and could easily snag on your hair/shirt/neck/ causing the earbuds to fall out. The heaphones are lightweight very versatile for that reason. The controls are hard to use as they are really small buttons on the earbud itself.- Accesories: Fabric baggie is cheap, silicone tips are fine, charging cord was fine. Really minimal here but that's ok for the cheapest set in the group.- Overall: Not a bad set. The sound is fine and the price is really hard to beat. Low battery life is a major drawback and is why these come in 2nd.Soundpeats Q36- Sound: Good sound here. Probably close to the Phaiser, just not as much bass.- Comfort: The earbuds sit nicely in the ears but the major reason these fail is the extremely long cord that connects them. The flat style cord sticks to the back of my neck and when I rotate my head it pulls the earbud out. The remote exacerbates this issue. I tried to make the cords shorter with included accessories but this didn't help. The control works well, its just in a really bad place.- Accesories: Includes eartips and a small pound for the headphones. There are also clips and pieces designed to make the cord shorter. Even with using all of these different attachments I couldn't find a comfortable fit.- Overall: Good sound, just hard to get comfortable wearing.Ultimately I went with the Phaisers. I will be using them mostly for air travel and in the gym. They are the least likely to get tangled up and they fit the best. The sound is good and they have great battery life.
