Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really liked the Trekz Titanium and I like these even more!

Some advantages over the Trekz Titanium: - I think the "tickle/vibration" factor is greatly improved - The sound quality could be a bit better - They come with a small carry case - it's flexible rubber so not reliable but better than nothing (the frame of my Trekz Titanium broke floating in my backpack - very easy to charge with the magnetic charger - didn't really think it would be a big problem for me but it is sooo much nicer to be able to just snap a magnet into place rather than messing around with a tiny charging cover and tiny micro USB plug - and since there are two chargers in the box I can still have one at work and one at home have .button to rewind but I can't get it to work (maybe I'm not pressing fast enough luh) when you press any button and I don't think there is a way to change that. When connected to my phone and computer they beep constantly and disconnect/reconnect to my phone when talking to computer (I always have to turn off BT on my phone to avoid this) - No beep when Siri is activated - all you have to do is hold down the button and guess! The excerpt from my Titanium review applies to them too: They're great for cycling or just about anywhere you want to hear the world around you - they're loud enough to hear through traffic. And if you want to block out the world, just use the included earbuds and you can hear those things perfectly. I love them for listening to audio books or even connecting to a computer for a conference call at work. I also enjoyed using these, the included earbuds and the white noise app to recently drown out my snoring friend in the hotel room! Pros: - Loud enough to listen anywhere - Plug in earbuds - Sound is great for entertainment content and decent for music if you're not picky (I'd say slightly better than phone speaker quality) - The microphone on the device works great for phone calls - Multifunction button can be held down to activate Siri on iPhone (press to play/pause/answer/hang up, double tap to skip tracks) - Volume buttons (I thought all BT headphones had them, but I don't think so) - Connect multiple devices at the same time - I didn't think you could do that, but a year later I just found the following trick - I think the battery life is good. I never followed up but I think the advertised 6 hours might be correct. They alert you when there is about 10-20 minutes left (better than my old ones which only alerted after about 1 minute) - Good range in my opinion (20-30ft) but not as good as the other pair, Cons (although I don't consider them cons) - They can tickle a bit at high volume, but it's not very noticeable if you're in a situation where you need them loud - Slightly uncomfortable with glasses, but I don't have any Trouble until I put them on in front of my sunglasses. To connect two devices at the same time: (Please note that you cannot hear both devices at the same time, but the headphones will automatically switch to the device that is transmitting the sound.) 1. Start with the headphones turned off.2. Enter pairing mode by pressing and holding the Volume + button for 5-7 seconds until the device displays "Pairing".3. Press and hold the multifunction button and the volume button + for 2-3 seconds. The device will say "Multipoint Enabled".4. Connect the first device. The device will say "Connected".5. Turn off the headphones.6. Re-enter pairing mode by pressing and holding Volume + for 5-7 seconds.7. Connect the second device. The device says "Device 2 connected".

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
