Review on 🎧 iHome Wireless Water-Resistant Sport Earphones with Bluetooth, Mic Remote, and Sport Clips (Gray/Green - iB79GQC) by Jennifer Hartley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good sound, 5+ hours on a single charge, heavy controls.

For cheap bluetooth headphones they work very well and I get over 5 hours on each charge. The sound is good, not epic, but clean and crisp out of the box, and I was able to tweak a bit more bass using the equalizer app. You have a heavy (about 0.25 ounce) thing hanging from your right ear. If you use them with ear loops this isn't a problem, but if you wear glasses like I do the ear loops are uncomfortable. The headphones are fine when I'm doing something relatively sedentary like cooking or walking, but when I'm jogging or anything else that requires vigorous upper body movement, the controls wiggle like a giant earring and eventually my ear canal gets tired of the juddering. The controls themselves are easy to use, even with gloves on, so that's a plus. However, the big chunky controller with colorful buttons makes this device look a bit cartoonish, which some people probably won't like.

Pros
  • Not only useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
