Review on QCY Cancelling Microphone Waterproof Compatible by Alexis Jordan

*Edit - I own this 6 months and had to deduct a star. I mainly use them to listen to audiobooks and podcasts. For some reason the volume kept getting quieter. They are great while I'm in a perfectly quiet room. If there is any background noise, I hardly hear it. I'm even sitting in the car (idling) with the air conditioning on and I'm having a hard time understanding it. Driving on the highway and listening to the sound is no longer possible. _________ I bought these headphones because I like their size and style. I'm not a fan of the fat "balls" that some people have. With my old hands, the small "handle" on it makes it easier to localize. I use it for several hours every day and have had it for over three months now. The sound quality is good, but the headphones got mixed up or disconnected several times. In all the time I've had them, I've had 3 or 4 times problems with the sound or connection. So overall I would say they are doing a phenomenal job. It's easier to remember the times they didn't work than it is to remember all the times they worked flawlessly. The overall volume is quite low. And "fit in the ear canal" is not exclusive. They fit great but never feel like the earbud is "sealed" and that makes them useless when I want to ride a motorcycle. It's also sad because it's one of the few headphones that I can wear comfortably under a full helmet. The bag is small and fits well in my pocket. It is rounded so the corners don't cut. The case is a bit larger than I expected, I feel like they could have worked a little harder making the earbuds fit snugly and take up less space. I'm afraid the door will eventually break, apparently a flaw in the design. It's just an injection molded top with plastic pivot pins. That said, the first time I drop it with the hinge open, it pops off. Luckily it hasn't happened yet but I have arthritis in my hands so it's only a matter of time. Call quality and microphone quality seem to be excellent with them. With other headphones, I had trouble understanding myself during a call, or my voice was too quiet. I don't recall ever having trouble speaking to a caller in a normal tone with these headphones. The best thing about them is that they just work. I take one or two out of the carrying case, put them in my ear and they work. It is excellent.
