Review on Stay Active with adidas RPT-01 On-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Sport Headphones in Light Grey by Jeff Bourke

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great except for one big bug

So they fit a lot of needs - they're light enough, they sound really great and the onboard controls are pretty easy to use. My biggest regret is that I didn't read the fine print carefully enough. You MUST install the adidas Companion app on your mobile device or it will not connect. So it works great for my iPhone and iPad. But that basically excludes them from being used in the Apple ecosystem with the Apple TV. There's no way to transfer audio from the quad to these headphones. That means no movies or TV shows - and importantly, I can't use them for the main reason I have them: training with Peloton and other fitness apps on an ATV. And it won't work with screen mirroring either, I've already tried it. The bottom line is you can't select them as a BT device on an ATV. Doesn't look like it's an Adidas quad companion app - that would be nice! I won't be returning them as they are pretty good for outdoor running, walking, etc. And I feel like I got it. too sweaty to come back. But knowing what I know now, I would look for another solution. (FWIW, my AirPods work great, but I try to keep them nice and undamaged because I use them for work when I don't want to be seen with stupid bulky in-ear headphones. The PowerBeats Pro, which are complete bullshit are with the shortcomings of the charging case).

Pros
  • Full control: create your own shortcuts with the easy-to-use spin dial and action button.
Cons
  • Hardly ever
