Review on Bang Olufsen Wireless Bluetooth Earphones Cell Phones & Accessories by Kelly Dorsey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Buggy, glitter on earphones

I really wanted to like them but I just can't take into account how much I paid for them and how disappointing these things are on a VERY PERMANENT BASIS. Released with bugs and never fixed, this product is not even close to worth the money, especially considering the other options. First, the right one is the "master" and the left one syncs to it, and it ONLY syncs when the two are less than 10 inches apart. Even with both on, the left one keeps dropping out at about 3/10 of a second when re-syncing with the right one. Doesn't seem like a big deal until it happens 30, 40, 50 times a song. Constantly interrupting any sense of immersion is ridiculous, and something this "premium" should never have passed quality control with this obviously broken BS. Sound quality is good but the equalizer app took over an hour of research and frustration to get working and when that happens there isn't even a real EQ but a crappy grid that asks you to put a dot between "warm", "bright", "relaxed" and "excited". Maybe it works for some users who don't know what to expect from a real EQ but for audiophiles who paid $30. 0 headphones want to know where is the "More" page? Third, using foam ear tips is the obvious choice for me since the gasket makes the sound a lot fuller, but I've lost count of the number of times I've put these things in the charging box and found that the foam tips tend to deflate after the Having extended insertion by lifting the earbuds turn off the contacts they charge so I sit and wait a few hours and then pull out the earbuds which are still dead. Everything about this product screams good intentions and damn bad execution. Spend your money elsewhere.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Clarity
