The sound quality is worth the significantly higher price.

These headphones are just great! If you want to test the bass, see Nigel Stanford's video entitled Cymatics. While I love these earbuds, the only downside I've found is the rubber piece that adjusts to the ear (various sizes available) seems to stretch over time and as a result the earbud doesn't fit as snugly like a few weeks ago. It would be nice if they could solve this little problem. Otherwise, they are very much worth the dollars invested. Plan to follow this brand in the future. The bass

The sound quality is amazing!

Sounds awesome right away. I'm very picky when it comes to headphones, sound quality and comfort. I do jet ski tours in the Florida Keys and my old headphones had a cord running around my neck. The wind would have caught it and they would have climbed out. These stay in my ear, and at 55+ mph in open water I can hear the wind just a little, but not enough to distract from the music. The only downside is that there are no controls to go back to the song or return to the beginning. You can jump…

  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Crumpled

Good sound! Good price!

***UPDATE***Anker contacted me after my review was published and immediately sent me a replacement for this item. Great service, great product, rating went up to 5 stars (would give more if possible). I have several different models of headphones under $100 and I can honestly say these are my favorites. *** First of all I would like to say that these are the best sounding (economical) headphones I have ever owned. My biggest complaint is that the silicone earcup stretches slightly and no longer

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Great headphones with one fatal flaw :(

Firstly, they sound absolutely amazing. They are stylish and very comfortable. Good bass and balanced mids and highs. Here's my problem with them: button controls on the headphones not at all intended. A press should ALWAYS be a pause! For both headphones. Why give the option to wear headphones separately and put the pause function on just one headphone? If you only wear the left headphone, the only way to pause music is located on your phone.And double-clicking the pause button on the right…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Some flaws

No question, this is a good choice.

There weren't many reviews when I bought this, but SpeedMasterPro left a review (and video review) that I 100% agree with. Sound: Initially I was leaning towards the Jabra Active 75t headphones, but have read that they are too bass-heavy. The Life A1's sound quality is phenomenal and the basic EQ settings sound great for electronic, hip-hop, classical, podcasts and more. Equalizer presets are available, but I don't see a need to switch as the sound on the proprietary setting brings out the best

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Updated: Customer service is just as important as quality

Great sound, but I had the same issues as others: The rubber earcups kept falling off and stretching. This is a lack of quality and design. Keep in mind that these are rubber parts that will probably cost pennies but make a huge difference to the experience. Anker said they cannot replace rubber parts under warranty. They offered to swap out the entire rig for a new one, but thinking this was a design flaw, I asked to pay the difference to upgrade to another model that uses a different mounting

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Great Sound, Comfort and Battery Life, Terrible Control Scheme

I bought these because I wanted a headphone that was compact and therefore comfortable under a stocking cap. I bought these based on trust in the Anker brand and generally good reviews. I'm struggling between a 3 or 4 star rating. If I were to rate just the sound quality, comfort and battery life, it would be 5 stars hands down. They sound great, they fit my ears really well (they come with the widest range of ear tips and winglets I've seen). They're comfortable under a stocking cap, and since

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Exchange item
