Headphone for Men

Not real savy with the technology today, ... I'm old at 64 but I kept getting the wires of all those typical 'ear-bud' sets damaged, ... closed in car doors, ... caught on the corners of tables, ... as well as the failure to perform without one ear-bud suddenly failing. I mean what was I paying for> I must have spent 120 bucks on cheap earbuds over this past year, ... something like 5 pair. Yes, I'm hard on the things, ... but I want them on my job to keep me from 'flipping out', so I needed something new.At 64, my thoughts off "Blue-tooth" were as I'd seen in the past decade. People walking aroung the local supermarket ( I remember when they were just called "markets") with a thing sticking out one side of their head and face, like a container of Quaker Oats, talking into it. So, ... I never checked into "Bluetooth" until my wallet and old bones and mind, ... okay, ... my 30 year old son helped push it, ... I tried these. I LOVE "EM! I don't know why I waited so damn long. Thesy were easy to program, sorry, I mean 'turn them on for my inexpensive Straight Talk phone to utilize. I'm kicking myself for not trying them earlier!This set is as has been said in other reviews, ... A BANG FOR THE BUCK!. Very easy to use and hook up, ... the sound is clear and the levels are decent from treble to bass, ... neither one is over-powering.. I DO wish they had their own volume control, ... but big deal, just crank up the phone volume. The distance reception is spot on, I can go 40 feet from my source before I experience a break-up in reception. This set comes with earbuds of differing sizes, ... a neat carrying case too, that will fit into a shirt pocket. The charge and play time is right on the button. I don't listen to much music with these, mostly movies and documentary, but for all of we old farts, ... get out of the age of the "Walkman", and try something new. I'm ordering another pair just to ensure, while I'm drinking my "Ensure" in the morning, ... I can use my bathroom without a toilet paper, .... earbud wire getting tangled together leading to my falling head over heels, ... and yelling, "HELP I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP. MY FEET ARE TANGLED N MY EAR BUD WIRES"!

The sound was loud and clear. No one complained that they could not hear me when I used them. Also, I had a pair that broke my neck out and these did not. A magnet to hold the two ear pieces together would have been nice, but I never lost them. Battery life was good, I could wear them all day at work and they would last most of my 8 hr day if not the entire day especially if I would turn them off in between. They did not last me quite a year they just went out on me about 3 days ago. They look like they are charged up because the blue light is on but they are not coming on. I'm looking for a new pair and I may buy another pair. With all fairness I am kind of rough with things by throwing them in my purse. They might have lasted longer had I been careful with them. So with my carelessness I guess they performed well. Purchased March 18, 2020.

I have a habit of leaving earbuds around and I have a cat who likes to chew on cords. So I was looking for something inexpensive to replace the ones recently chewed up. When this arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. The packaging is nice and the product comes with a case for the earbuds. Case is sturdy and compact so I can keep it next to me and tuck my earbuds safely away when I'm done using them. The sounds quality really surprised me. Clear audio, none of that "tinny" noise that often comes with lower cost (and usually lower quality) audio devices. Stays comfortably in my ears and the piece that goes around the ear is a softer, flexible plastic so no discomfort there. Great for the gym or out walking/ running. Good battery life as well. Would recommend. And will probably be getting the husband a pair in the near future.

Had these for 5 months of total bliss, the longest I’ve ever had a headset and today after a notice for the battery being low I charged it until full. After an hour or two after that I went to use them and they started spazzing on me, disconnecting within seconds or cutting off as its saying it’s “powering on, your headset is connected” line, until they refused to turn on at all. I’ve never pulled, dropped, yanked or otherwise done any damage that I know of so all I can think is it shorted out somehow? I did every troubleshoot you can think of, nothing saved it.Hey, it was great while it lasted!

****Updated 9/9/20****Purchased Sept. 2019. Not heavy use—only for running a few times per week. Died this week. Will no longer charge. I guess for the cost, maybe a year is an acceptable lifespan? Feels like they should have lasted a bit longer. Ah well...I tried another brand of these, and they were way too loud on the lowest volume for me. I had to return them.These are better (still a bit too loud for me but still better than the others). They were easy to set up and use. Quick charge (maybe an hour). I’ve used them on several runs. I can’t speak to how much noise they would cancel, but they seems to do a pretty good job of at least making. Things very muffled. Honestly, I don’t want total noise cancellation when I’m running. That’s another reason I like to have the option of very low volume.I cannot comment on water resistance, but I can tell you they seem unphased by lots of humidity and sweat while running.Anyway, the sound quality is surprisingly great! My husband paid $80 for his wireless earbuds and was quite impressed with the sound quality of these for $15 😬.I hope they last, but even if I have to replace them in a year or so, the price is low.
