This is bullshit: In-Ear Headphones

And there I put them in less than a month. I got them for the earplugs; I have a hard time with headphones due to the fact that I have had several surgeries on my ears. Well after about 3 uses both earbuds fell off and I was left with the earbuds. Big. (No). If you pause what you're hearing for more than a minute or two, they'll automatically turn off and good luck turning them back on. My iPad charges faster. After these iHome bitches blacked out for the third time during the run, I gave up…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Empty

Conventional over-ear headphones - bulky controls

The concept of these Bluetooth headphones is characterized by the presence of behind-the-ear hooks for active sports and the possibility of behind-the-ear hooks remove, out for a lower profile with headphones only. I mainly use them for running and overall they hold up relatively well. A full charge lasts a full week of 4-5 hour runs without recharging, and the ear hooks and ear tips stay in place the whole time. There are two things I don't like about these headphones: 1. The controls are…

Pros
  • Quick-Change
Cons
  • Exterior

Disaster for runners

I prefer in-ear headphones but unfortunately they were a complete letdown. They don't last at all. I don't know, maybe I was just working up a real sweat, but I couldn't get the hooks to stay over my ears on a hard run. It doesn't help that the little control box can pull them out if you shake your head too hard! The real annoyance is that they detach from your ear in the face of a headwind or any resistance at all, so you end up having to re-tuck the right ear cup in from time to time. I think

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Can't remember

Good Sound -- Bulky Controls

These headphones sound great. I have had several pairs of in-ears and in-ear headphones for different purposes and they have the best sound quality I have ever experienced. It made an immediate impression. I use wireless earphones mainly for sports, so in addition to the sound quality, ease of use and the non-irritating factor are important to me. Although they stay in my ear, the control unit is too large and distracting for me to use for anything other than studying or fiddling. I have other…

Pros
  • Good Thing
Cons
  • Very Expensive

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…

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

lasted less than 12 hours

Bought, charged. I tried it, the sound is normal. I'm partially deaf so it probably takes a long time for something to sound awful. I tried all three sizes of ear cups - none stayed in place for long with normal head movement. I didn't hold them long enough to see how well the clips worked over time, but the test fit of the clips felt loose to me. The worst part? Trying to maintain a conversation with someone on the phone. Every person I've tried speaking to has said I sound muffled or like I'm

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Basically OK, but...

Good equipment with some problems

These are very useful headphones. They're easy to set up and have audible notifications to let you know the device is on, off, and connected. The blue light flashes when connected. You can leave the ear hooks on or take them off. When the earhooks are removed, you cannot distinguish which earbud is for the right ear and which is for the left. I didn't find them convenient either way, but it would be easier if they were labeled L and R. What I did notice, however, is a slight "static noise" in…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Negative impression

Adequate and inexpensive headphones that will disappoint any audiophile

Well, the headphones are not bad, but they are not very good either. There are two things that prevent them from being top notch. Well, three. The third problem is that I almost didn't mention the APP, which just doesn't work. And given the user rating of just over one star, it seems like almost everyone is having the same issues as me. In my case, it couldn't detect anything to install the app. I've tried it on my Samsung phone, Kindle Fire and laptop. I can usually install the app on one or…

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • I don't remember, but something happened
