Review on JAKO Waterproof Earphones Bluetooth Headphones by Boss Spangler

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not bad. but not good either

I've had these for a little over six months and use them almost every day. I think they are affordable but they don't stand out in any category. Here are my impressions: PROS - these things are $20 - case and earphones are small, easy to carry - they're quite comfortable to wear - they're an acceptable replacement pair of earphones. CONS - Mine work fine when I'm at my desk or in the car, but when I need to move they start to shut down. They don't "disconnect" me from my phone, but the audio cuts out intermittently. Sounds like bad cell phone reception. - Sometimes the sound is out of sync, the sound of one headphone is ahead of the other. - The low battery warning appears about 20-30 seconds before the headphones turn off. Barely enough time to react. I found that the battery life is NOT 4 hours and the charger doesn't have enough power to charge the earbuds 4 times as advertised. It's more like 2-2.5 hours of use and maybe around 2 full charges. The sound isn't very good, I have headphones for music but I mainly use them to listen to podcasts or audio books so the sound quality isn't great. how important to me. Also, the maximum volume they have is not that high. In general I would say that they are not bad. but they are not good either. You can probably compare their performance to a set you can get at a gas station or a store. I've just bought a new set of brand name headphones which could be the ideal pair. I'll probably keep them as a spare set or take them with me when I go kayaking or hiking, so losing or damaging them isn't a big deal.
