No way to see battery life
I got these almost 5 years ago and use them intermittently at the gym. They’ve been great, no issues and battery life is really good. My only complaint is that there’s no way to see how much charge is left so they can die any time, without warning. Just be proactive and charge the periodically. It would be nice if there was an app to view battery life.

Good design, but some shortcomings
These are decent wireless headphones for the price. I give the overall design five stars as they're fairly light, have good battery life, and I prefer just having a wire to a neckband so they're less obtrusive easier to transport. The magnetic earbuds is a nice feature as well when you're on the move.There are, however, a few things I think could be better. I find that over longer listening sessions the buds start to push down on my lower ear and cause some discomfort. I tries some Comply SmartCore memory foam tips that I think could help, but as of yet I can't get them to fit as the hole in them is smaller than the post on the headphones. Also, the functions on the remote -- although they work fine -- are not well differentiated so it's very difficult to identify the function I'm trying to use without looking. Last, I'm an audiophile so sound quality is probably more important to me than most, and I find these 'phones to stray pretty far from neutral. After trying them with several different recordings of various quality, I found their native sound to be a bit boosted in the bass and rolled off in the treble while the mids are relatively ok. For music I bought I can use the multi-band equalizer with the Evermusic Pro app to get these to sound decent, but that's not possible (at least at this point) on my iPhone or iPad for music I didn't actually buy (i.e. Amazon Prime music). And none of the preset EQ options offered by Apple on their devices have the right balance to make these headphones sound good, at least to me. For people who are just looking for background music as they work out or whatever and who are not too concerned about sound quality these may actually work fine, but for anything more than that they're a bit too compromised for me sonically. That said, for the convenience of wireless in a convenient and compact package I'm going to keep these around. So for the combination of some good design features at a competitive price for a wireless headphone with some performance and ergonomic compromises, four stars.

A few annoying flaws tarnish an otherwise good product.
My initial impression of this product was positive. I like the simple, clean look of the headphones. The construction is solid, lightweight, and the Ipx5 rating is great. I also thought that the magnet to connect both ear pieces was a nice touch. The ear pieces aren't super comfortable, but they aren't the worse I've experienced. I definitely recommend trying the different sizes that come with the headphones to find the best fit for your ears. The ear pieces generally stay in my ears, even while I go bouldering and my head is at odd angles. I do recommend having a clip or something to hold the cord in the back, otherwise the cord will move around and sometimes an ear piece can pop out if I turn my head too hard. Other than losing an ear piece sometimes, I think this product's hardware is great. I purchased these headphones in July and they are still going strong.The sound quality on these headphones, is decent, but not 5 stars. There's not as much bass as I expected reading some other reviews and, while they get loud, they're not super loud. Nonetheless, they get loud enough and sound good in the gym. As for call quality, it's good. I can hear people clearly and they can hear me. The range for the headphones is pretty good, at least I have no issues if I leave my cell phone in another room.The battery life on these headphones is amazing. They last much longer than my previous bluetooth headphones, which in practice means if I forget to charge them one day I can still use them the next day and not have to worry about them dying.That's it for the good. Now a series of flaws that I think tarnish an otherwise good product.First, I HATE the low battery sound. I would rather have no warning that my headphones were about to die than the HORRIBLE buzzing sound. The first time I heard it, I nearly jumped! Seriously, I cannot stress enough how loud and jarring the buzzing sounds. This was a terrible design choice and majorly detracts from the quality of these headphones.Second, I don't like the brightness of the indicator light. It's so bright I can't use these headphones at night while my partner is sleeping. I don't understand why it has to be so bright, I feel like this was another poor design choice.Third, if I forgot to turn my headphones off, they stay on forever. I have gone to bed to wake up the next day to find that they are still running. Other bluetooth headphones I have owned in the past would shut off automatically after no audio was played for 30 minutes or so. I am disappointed that these headphones don't do the same thing.Fourth, I have to be careful about not losing the silicon tips on the ear pieces. The silicon tips are not secure and come off easily, especially if I stuff these headphones in my pocket. I've never had this problem with other bluetooth earbuds I've owned.Overall, I would not recommend this product. While I think the hardware is great, the sound quality is good, and the battery life is fantastic, the flaws I described above really detract from this product. This is especially true for the low battery buzzer sound. I would carefully consider your needs and the competition before buying these headphones.

Value for money sport earbuds, but not high fidelity sound
I wanted "cabled" earbuds because my workouts and bike rides with the wireless sort too often ended with my looking on the ground for the missing earpiece. I read many reviews, and the BESPORT-4s received top marks in many categories while costing half (or less) of the top end alternatives.I've had my phones for a month and there are many positives: (a) quick-to-charge; (b) good battery life; (c) many add-ons to sample to find the best fit for your ears; and (d) sweatproof so far. The only place I've been disappointed is in the sound quality: fine for podcasts, but not-quite-good enough for pure music listening. That's not to say that you can't listen to music on them--it's what I do most of the time--but I don't confuse the quality with that of a good Bluetooth speaker or my old style Sennheisers with the audio jack and over-the-ear padded speakers.

The good, the bad and the ugly
I had not heard of this brand before but I bought it due to mostly positive reviews. The sweet spot for me is about $100. For good fit, comfort and most importantly, sound quality. I don't work out a whole lot but I do go to the gym weekly and run about 2-4 times week - weather, time and schedule permitting. I got these BE4s for that purpose.The package comes with lots of extras! You get the earphones, lots of ear pieces to make it fit in your ear better, and earphone tips to fit your ear canal. The double flange tips only come in one size and they hurt my ears after 5 mins. I had to resort to the middle size single flange tips. Once I found the right size, it fit my ear canal like a glove and through running, they didn't come loose. My jog around the neighbourhood normally takes 45 mins, and they didn't come loose on me too much.Sound - this was the disappointing part. I'm no bass head but I like good balanced bass. I found these to be a bit muddy for a pair of earphones costing this much.The straw that broke the camel's back - I used the BE4s for just a little over a week. On my 4th use(gym once, and after 3rd run) one side of the earphones stopped working. I wasn't caught in the rain, but these are supposed to be water resistant anyway. That was enough to make me want to return them. I wanted so much for these to work out, but I'll keep searching.I had a pair of Soundcore Spirit Xs that I lost coming home from work. I just might get another pair if I can't find something in my sweet spot.

Great sound, Earpiece is a little big for my ear, Biggest downside was comfort.
Constantly powering off with no notice whatsoever, 3 weeks after the return window closed. There is no indication, the sound of suddenly shuts off, and they must qbe reconnected. I was expecting more from a premium products.Pros: Great sound, Balanced profile, beautiful Build Quality. The magnetic back are a nice touch. Battery Life is as advertised.Cons: Earpieces are all uncomfortable, I always use the smallest, and these are the largest I've seen to date. The fin, even the shortest, is quite stiff and sharp, and digs into the top of the ear, and after 1/2 hour, it starts getting painful. Micro usb-A is just cheap. It shouldn't be sold on modern electronics. aptX is a wonderful technology, but on my device, it keeps cutting out, and crackling, although this may be due to poor quality smartphone (Huawei P20 pro). The rubber cable grips the neck and pulls out the right headphone occasionally.Overall somewhat of a disappointment, as I saw it Promoted by several review sites.EDIT: I have spent some time with them, and indeed the fit is different, but I've discovered that the "discomfort" is actually because I was wearing them to deep. They are 100% held in place at a comfortable level of depth. AptX still doesn't work with wifi enabled on device, but I still suspect it is a problem with the device, not headphones.These are the most expensive headphones I've owned by 30%, and the sound is better by 40%. I would say these exceeded expectations, after a period of breaking in the user. Thanks for reading.

Read this before buying.
I was really expecting more for the price. First, the pros: Awesome battery life. Could do several hour long workouts without having to charge. Easy to sync with phone. Bluetooth range is amazing. About 30 feet away in the house while still remaining ultra clear. Controls were relatively easy to use as well. Ultra clear sound. No worries there. No problems with sweat, either. Very clean design and the little carrying case is great.Now, the cons: Absolutely no base. When you want that base beat to run to or pump you up, it’s not even there. All my other earphones had way better base. Very disappointed, there. The next one is probably the most important failure of this model; if I don’t have my tuque on, the earphones easily fall out. Maybe it’s my ear, but even after trying all the different sized hooks and silicone seals, the best fit barely holds on. I find myself re-adjusting them often, even when not moving too much. I wouldn’t recommend this model, unfortunately. I would go for an over-the-ear model that stays in place, especially if you want it to stay in place. Overall, a high quality model that needs improvement, in my opinion.

Uncomfortable, poor battery
Even with the smallest earpiece, the right bud would not stay in my ear unless I jammed it there. I have had this problem with other cheap earphones. I believe my right ear canal is a little bit smaller, and this is not the first time I have experienced this problem with other cheaper brands, however I have never had this problem with higher quality ones. Use your own judgment.The battery life was atrocious, lasting barely two hours before the signal would already start to cut out at 1 Meter distance. At 3 hours they would not work unless the phone was 10 inches from my head. This is not a problem with charging as I made sure each time to ensure they were fully charged.I found the sound quality to be acceptable. The best feature of these average-quality earphones.If you want to take a chance on the sizing and you're not stressed about extended use, these might be value for the money but I think you should just find another product.
