Rubbish - And no backup guarantee

Headphones lasted almost 3 months. Standard use, no physical abuse. They stopped working (no sound in one earbud) so I called Altec Lansing and was sure I had a one year warranty as per the brochure on the box. They told me to contact the seller because they didn't buy through him. So I wrote to my salesperson, Three Lovely Princesses, and AnnMaire said they can't help me as it's been over 30 days. I have argued that I should have a 1 year warranty and these headphones are defective. She just…

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Requires outlet

The best waterproof headphones I've ever had!

This is my second headphone. I lost my first pair on the trip. I bought this second pair because they are waterproof. I use them every morning during my 1 hour water aerobics class. The Bluetooth connection with my iPhone is fine. They have been splashed with water and dropped in water and still work great. I don't dive head first. I was pleasantly surprised that I only have to charge my headphones about every 2 weeks. I sometimes answered the phone while swimming by pressing the middle button.

Pros
  • feeling good
Cons
  • seniors

I still love it! This is my second pair of altec.

I still like it! This is my second pair of Altec headphones, I lost the first one so I decided to buy the same pair from Revain. When I first bought it at Wal-Mart, it cost me $50 and it earned me. In this price range, the long battery life is unbeatable. One charge lasts for about 3 days (with constant use). Not to mention they are waterproof so I can wear them all day to the gym and to work. Decent Bluetooth range, decent sound quality. *** Only thing I don't like is the way they are designed

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Good product. Poor tech support from manufacturer

Battery life is excellent, up to 20 hours. Unfortunately, in my experience, it stops holding a charge after about 9-15 months of daily use. I have bought this product twice. 2nd time with extended replacement warranty for Assurant. I bought my second set at the end of February 2018, at the end of October 2018 I had the same problem as with the first purchase. I first contacted Altec Lansing by phone and followed the instructions I received via email regarding proof of purchase etc. I did…

Pros
  • Useful not just for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Very expensive

Great headphones - terrible service

These headphones are great. I've bought 4 pairs in the last few years. I bought the last one in September. The earbud for the right ear started falling off but they were still under warranty so I sent them in for repair. The headphones were sent back to me two weeks later, but not straight away. They are no longer manufactured and the repair will be replaced with a new model. The new model has 10 hours of battery life, not 20. Its maximum output is about half the volume. These MZX856 headphones

Pros
  • quality construction
Cons
  • sad packaging

I personally liked these headphones for a long time

I personally liked these headphones for a long time; approx. 5 months without complaints! After a few weeks of use, I noticed that the deep, boomy bass was somewhat distorted, resulting in louder bass to my left ear. The battery isn't heavy, but if you move something, the battery will move to one side of the neck and then the other. This makes it very easy to pull the kidney out of just one ear. But the battery life is impressive! I chose these, the cheaper option, over the Beats wireless…

Pros
  • Hands-free calling
Cons
  • For a long time
