Review on MP ELECTRONICS Sweatproof Earphones Bluetooth by Jessica Simmons

Strike 4 - I'm out! fits in-ear headphones

I have to admit I have a fetish when it comes to bluetooth headphones. I bought these headphones hoping they would meet or exceed my expectations compared to the original U8 headphones I bought which look identical to these with the U8 label on them and a small round body with a short one cable and two additional headphones. Appearances are deceptive. When I opened the box and looked at the connection cable between the two earphones, I knew immediately that they would not live up to those expectations. The cable is almost half the size of others I buy, as are the last couple. The brand on the suitcase I bought earlier was KiKi. Which was funny because that's my name. So I bought them new in a $10 box at a swap meet. I was so overwhelmed by the sound that I turned around and bought another pair of them. I've had them for 2 years now and only recently have I had problems with the left side cutout, no doubt due to my overuse and helmet while riding. I said if it lasted a year I would be happy and do a third year and they eventually give up. But the sound is great. they have a little more cord. All "U8" versions I've bought have disappointed me. All have a super-thin cable and below-average sound quality. It's a bit better, but you can tell when you're syncing it when the pre-programmed voice says it's connected. This is a low quality voice and therefore a below average sound. I know you're not expecting much for $15. This is my fourth pair trying to find a different brand quality on multiple sites that eBay and Revain don't have. I think I'm done wasting my money, lesson learned. The quality of the microphone is unusable. I've been trying to talk to friends on my iPhone and they're complaining about all the noise in the background and there's no one or anything around. Walking through Costco is a joke. It's almost like it amplifies the noise instead of canceling it out. So don't expect much. thanks if you like them, i have more expensive brands. Great Bose sport buds, I think the two I bought commercially were a godsend. I only gave 3 stars because these aren't the worst compared to some other so-called U8 versions I've tried. They are packed very well. But would I buy them again? No, sorry, I wouldn't.
