I've always been an avid B&O fan. I've always liked their products. I have a very, very hard time giving these headphones a bad review and honestly hate to do it. I am so disappointed in these cones. First positive. (The ONLY positive thing about these headphones) The sound is second to none. It's just beautiful and there are no other headphones that compare. It just seems like you see/hear what you entertain here. Unfortunately, however, there are some serious functional issues that make the headphones really difficult to use. First, they don't fit snugly on the ear. They are constantly shifting. I thought it had a lot to do with how short the headphone cable actually is compared to other sets like the BeatsX. If you turn your head too much in one direction, they will slip out of your ear. This is really problematic as that alone defeats its purpose of being what B&O believes this set to be, mostly for those who are active in sports or whatever. Secondly. Bluetooth connection problems are bad. The sound is good, there are no problems when watching videos and listening to music. As already mentioned, they have an extraordinary sound. Better than any other headphone I've ever used. At least wirelessly. But the problem here lies in the simple details. When you're not using the earbuds, they turn off immediately once both earbuds are connected to each other with a magnetic connection. Although one might think that this is a useful feature, and at first glance it actually seems to be completely useless. Once they turn off, they lose their bluetooth connection and if you want to use them again you have to reconnect them to bluetooth. This makes it impossible to receive calls from anyone. You have to answer the call on the phone itself and then manually connect the headphones. It's not comfortable at all. In fact, the device turns off automatically if it doesn't seem to be used for more than five minutes. That's not very good either. In the end, while the sound is great, if not excellent, these headphones are by no means good for travel. They are best suited for home use only. Don't buy these headphones if you plan on working out with them or just walking around the block. You will have problems. If you're looking for physical activity headphones that do more than just sweep the porch (even that can be a push), look elsewhere. These headphones are only really good for lying in bed or in a completely still position. So whatever you do, don't buy these because they are waterproof and designed for an active lifestyle because you will be terribly disappointed. And if it's not good for someone who is an active person, it totally defeats the purpose. BeatsX is actually a much, much better option. It's really a shame because they deliver such great sound, but due to their lack of functionality I had to send them back.
