Ideal for sports, flying a plane, etc.

I have many types of headphones and now I know what this type is perfect for: sports. Maybe you and everyone else already knew about it. But when I run (or train on an elliptical trainer), the regular earbuds can fall out and the large earbuds can fall off, or at least get uncomfortably sweaty. Obviously you don't need a cable plugged into your phone to exercise, so they're perfect in every way. They are also very comfortable. The plug-in headphones fit my ears perfectly and already provide real sound isolation from the outside world (warning: you might sound like an annoying millennial if you keep them isolated from the world all the time). They are comfortable and I like that the ear hooks are easy to remove. I also like that you can tighten the connecting strap. There should be a cable in there so I hope it doesn't wear out that much but it seems pretty solid so I think it will be ok. In fact, they are great. The charging surface is just enough for a micro-USB connection, but the battery lasts for several hours. Not as long as some headphones, but the light weight plays a crucial role here. Also good for: watching movies or listening to music on the plane if you have your own device. There's no cable to slow you down if your seatmate tries to walk past you, and unlike over-ear headphones, they're comfortable enough to put you to sleep. Oh I saw a review that said the bass was bad. I do not agree. You have great music. They may be running at low power because they are too far from your ear. Be sure to keep them at a reasonable level. I would recommend them to friends.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Makes me angry
