Review on ๐ŸŽง Black Belt Urbanears Stadion Active Bluetooth Headphone (04091872): Enhancing Your Wireless Listening Experience by Kelly Porter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Convenient, easy to connect, sounds good, but the smartphone battery is low

This afternoon I will wear them for the first time. By now they were easy to style and seemed comfortable for the short time I wore them. The sound quality was clear and slightly loud. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 was because unlike most bluetooth devices, this bluetooth device doesn't seem to report the battery level to the connected device (my android phone). That means you have to guess the battery level and hope it doesn't run out during exercise. My previous BT (Plantronics Backbeat FIT) headphones told you the battery level when you turned it on and relayed it to the host device as well. I wish this was a standard feature on all BT headphones. It's also strange that the description doesn't say anything about "waterproof" or "waterproof" anywhere. In fact, one of the other customer reviews mentions that they are not suitable for people who sweat a lot. I'll wear them while it rains a bit so I'll see how they survive. Update (after my first run with them): The earcups don't stay in my ears very well. Another reviewer mentioned that they don't fit over the ears at all, allowing you to hear ambient sounds. that's an understatement. Several times I couldn't hear the headphones at all, even at maximum volume, when cars sped past me. Another reviewer mentioned that the audio cuts out (like the old first generation Sony Walkman); this happened MANY times during this run. On the plus side, they were comfortable throughout my run (except they didn't stay in my ears), and the USB charging cable is one of the longest cables I've seen with a BT set. Headphones.
