20 Best Waterproof Headphones For Swimming (2023 Updated)

These headphones are good – glad I bought them at the recommendation of a friend. In full disclosure, I don’t really use them for their intended purpose (running). I needed to replace my headset for video conferences at work and wanted something small/discreet, lightweight, and with a decent battery life.

these fit the bill. Pros: – battery life – I’m on MS Teams calls all day long (6-7 hours/day) and these can make it through on a fresh charge. If I do have to charge during the day, they top up pretty quickly (seems to be less than 30 minutes for a full charge) – very lightweight and comfortable to wear* – the mic seems to work well according to my coworkers & clients – discreet – small enough to be barely noticeable on video calls – neat little feature is the voice that tells you “charge me” when the battery gets very low (but it can startle you the first time the voice randomly speaks to you without prompting) – relatively easy Bluetooth pairing** and controls Cons: – *comfortable.

to a point, that is. Not sure that they were intended for my extended usage but they do feel like they’re pinching right in front of your ear after several hours. I end up feeling a fatigue similar to clenching your jaw too hard or for too long and wonder if that’s the fit or a side effect of the bone conduction – **only pairs with one device at a time so you have to go through full pairing process again if, for example, you want to switch from your laptop to your phone – might be unique to my use case but these get in the way of using the headrest on my office chair.

The loop between earpieces lays right where your head meets the headrest. can be pushed down but that moves the earpieces and reduces sound quality since it’s not “bone conducting” properly (if that makes sense) – sound quality is “meh” to me (I typically use Pixel Buds II with my phone which has much better bass & depth of sound).

That being said, my wife (AirPods user) tried these out and thought the sound quality was pretty good. Overall, happy with my purchase and they make my workday more comfortable. 4 out of 5 stars, would buy again.

Maybe one day I’ll actually use them for running!.

I can’t wear ear buds, wanted something that could stay on when working out, wanted something small (easy to pack, less conspicious), and wanted something that doesn’t block out other sounds. This headphone style meets all these needs! I’m not much of a critic on music sound quality, so can’t speak to that, but these headphones are my go-to for any activity outside of work (where I use large noise-cancelling headphones), including walks around the neighborhood, going to the gym, or just doing the dishes.

While granular control is limited with just a few buttons, there is a nice large “Pause” button on the left side, which makes it easier than most other headphones I’ve used to stop the sound and fully engage with someone interrupting me (then quickly restart).

I also appreciate that if I need to stop using my headphones for a while (eg driving, long conversation), I can just leave them on instead of removing and risking losing them, as I often did with other small headphones in the past.

This is my third set of headphones over the years from Aftershokz/Shokz, and my favorite pair yet due to the option to buy the mini size – it fits my head so much better than any previous versions which were only full-sized when I bought them (Trekz Titanium, Aeropex).

It’s reduced how much they stick out from behind my head, and increased the comfort of them. In the past I’ve had to wear them for a short while at first as I acclimated to how they press on my head–with this pair, I didn’t need to do that.

I’m hoping that there’s also some increase in durability as my last pair snapped on the side (but still works, technically). I appreciate the quick charge improvement over the previous Aeropex model, and the sound range continues to be good as i run all over the house, leaving my phone in one place.

I haven’t yet used it much for calls, but the few I’ve done have been fine (held while in a quiet environment – predecessor had some challenges in noisy environment, understandably).

I currently have the OpenRun 8th Gen (when it was still called the Aeropex AfterShockz prior to the name rebranding thus I have the old logo). Overall, I am very happy with this product. Just recently I saw that a 9th Generation OpenRun PRO was just released to kickoff the 2022 New Year.

In comparison, there’s only very slight differences between the OpenRun (8th Gen) versus OpenRun PRO (9th gen), of which I will note below. So if you’re currently considering on getting the PRO like I am, consider if the differences are worth it: • 8hr charge for the OpenRun versus a 10hr charge time for the OpenRun PRO.

Okay yeah. I dig it 🙂 Any extra usage time is always a plus for me especially on days when I’m too lazy to charge. • The OpenRun weighs 26g and the PRO weighs a little heavier at 29g but not a deal breaker for me.

• Different placement in terms of the charging port (which is neither a good or bad thing, just an observation). • The OpenRun PRO has faster charge time of 1-hour versus the 1. 5 hours for OpenRun 8th Gen (but honestly an additional 30 mins is not a big deal at all that would make me jump for joy and run out to get a PRO).

I usually unconsciously leave my headphones on the charger for longer than it should anyways since I sometimes forget about it while running errands and doing other things around the house. So this additional charge feature I didn’t care much about.

• OpenRun is ‘waterproof’ (IP 67), while the OpenRun PRO is only ‘water-resistant’ (IP 55), which confuses me. Honestly my biggest beef here, obviously. IP rating weathers dust and moisture, so they are durable enough to withstand rainy runs, sweaty rides, or other gritty conditions.

So like WHY would the new generation downgrade the IP rating??? This makes no absolute sense. Typically shouldn’t new generations in anything be more advanced and not a less/downgraded version of it’s former counterpart?! So I would really like to know why???? Definitely a major turn-off.

• The PRO version has two bass enhancers, unlike it’s former counterpart. I’m very excited to find that the new OpenRun Pro has incorporated the two bass enhancers. This is pretty much the ONLY reason why I would get the PRO because I’ve aways complained about how much I like my headphones except for the lack of bass and sound quality.

Hoping the more premium sound quality of the bass enhancers is as advertised and worth the penny for music listeners like myself. So that pretty much sums up the differences in a nutshell between the OpenRun and the OpenRun PRO in terms of features.

In comparison to everything else, all the other features are exactly the same between the OpenRun and the OpenRun PRO in terms of sensitivity, wireless range, microphone, bluetooth type, command controls, frequency response, compatibility, moisture detection, frequency, etc etc etc.

I haven’t bought the PRO yet given the pricetag so I’m going to wait until my birthday this Summer to get one, and again mainly for the bass enhancers and the extra 2-hours battery life, which for me are both very important to me so hoping when I do get it, that it won’t be a disappointment.

Another thing I want to mention in terms of its size is that I would like to see a “Mini” version of the PRO. Makes no sense to have a Mini for the standard OpenRun but not have it available for the OpenRun PRO.

The “Mini” is very popular especially amongst us ladies so I’m hoping to see if there’ll be one by Summer. Guess I’ll see what happens when the time comes!.

The X10 is great for workouts – the ear hooks keep them in place (which for my small ears is important because earbuds always fall out of my ears), they are super comfortable, good sound quality, and it has ANC.

I also like that it has physical buttons for control. Worthy to note for those that care is that you can only access voice assistance if you have only one earbud in – however this doesn’t bother me. Definitely recommend these as a good option for people in search of wireless sport earbuds.

These have been a great sounding earbuds. I use them when I work out and run and they actually stay in my ear the entire time. The app that goes with it has been great and easy to navigate. I like the breathing excersises that come with them.

The only con is battery life isn’t great and I’m finding myself charging them every night if I don’t want them to die the next day.

These earbuds are amazing!! I was very impressed by the quality of these! I love that they hook around my ear and don’t fall out. They are also very comfortable. The sound of these impressed me because they are very clear and no one else could hear them.

I love listening to music and these were perfect!. Lots of comfort and well made!.

I like to talk to a friend on the phone when running, therefore I need good headphones / ear buds to allow this. I have tried various sets of earbuds; these have proved to be disappointing for outside phone calls and various other features.

After re-installing 4 times, I still cannot get these ear buds to work with Google Assistant, I gave up and decided I can manage without that feature. I’ve found that when I remove the ear buds from the case, my phone starts to ring for no reason, I don’t know why this happens and cannot stop it.

Whilst outside using these and also running I have found the microphone is too sensitive, when walking near traffic, the caller struggles to hear over the conversation over the ambient noise of the traffic, they are very good in a quiet area, but that doesn’t help when out running.

I’ve also found that when making a call for an extended period of time, slowly a sort of feedback / squealing noise starts to get louder, I’m not sure why this happens or what is causing it. On a plus note, these fit extremely well in the ear and are by far the best earbuds for fit, that I’ve ran in.

When using inside and listening to music they work very well and the sound quality is very good with equaliser settings that can be changed via the app. I had high hopes for these and guess they would be great for listening to music and running in, but for using for telephone calls, they have been a disappointment.

I bought these headphones when it was on sale and it’s totally worth it. I have worn them nearly every day when I run or do exercise. Some points I like about these headphones: (1) It fits into my ear securely and comfortably.

(2) Sounds quality is okay-ish after all it’s designed for doing exercise. If you are looking into noise cancellation or high sound quality, I might say you’re looking into the wrong category. (3) Battery life is quite good.

I usually recharge it every 2 weeks. (4) I don’t have any issue with Bluetooth connection when connecting it with my MacBook or mobile. Overall, as somebody who absolutely requires headphones while exercising, I can safely say that the Endurance Race is easily one of the best I’ve used.

I can tell that JBL put a lot of thought into both ergonomics and sound character in order to make an optimised listening experience for working out. Despite being optimised for exercise scenarios, the Endurance Race also sounds great on its own and functions well as an all-around pair of headphones for day-to-day use.

These are definitely worth the price if you’re looking for a solid pair of workout headphones.

I really wanted to like these but am disappointed. First the good: Build feels and looks quite good, not great but good. Button interface is great, and fit around ear is great too. These things don’t fall out of your ear when running or working out.

Bluetooth connection is solid and pairing no problem. Battery life is good – about 5 hours. It comes with a nice case, long and short USB leads (nice touch) and a 2. 1A dual port USB car adapter – nice.

The Bad: the sound. There’s nothing even remotely audiophile about these. They sound dull and muffled, making the bass feel heavy. They have good bass, except even at medium volume the drivers overload – it’s like they need damping.

The combination of under-damped bass, weak mid and poor highs just doesn’t sound good. These are headphones after all, so poor sound = bad rating. I cannot recommend these Sensos unless you really don’t care about sound quality.

There are much better sounding bluetooth options. As an example, the audio on the TaoTronics 4. 1s is excellent, good build quality, downside is battery life is only 2. 5 hours, and they don’t stay in the ear quite as well.

But those still get 5 stars.

For the price, it’s a great product. Looong Bluetooth range. I went about 40ft without disruption, seems like it might go further. It does have a lot of treble so if you’re looking for bass or you’re an audiophile probably not for u.

I just needed something light, wireless, and inexpensive. This product delivers on my needs and doesn’t irritate while on for long periods of time. I run/jog with these on and barely feel them on my ears and they stay completely dry no matter how long I’m running in the hot sun.

I would definitely buy again.

This product has great build quality, offers really good sound (better than most headsets in this price tag), it is quite comfortable, won’t come off that easily, and comes with a lot of additional stuff (like earbuds, wire tie, durable carrying case, different chargers, etc.

). It is quite easy to connect to the phone, just hold the main button for couple of seconds and it will pair with your phone. Overall, highly positive experience.

Given the mixed reviews I was a bit apprehensive about how these earbuds would perform, but perhaps the latest software updates (which I ran before even trying them) have worked, and for me they’ve been excellent! Admittedly not perfect fidelity sound quality like my full size stereo separates, but then what do you expect from such tiny speakers?! Given the size they have a deep, resonant sound and haven’t missed a step so far.

The size was an issue at first, but after experimenting with the options of ear buds sizes they now fit perfectly and never fall out (though to be fair I haven’t played football in them or anything!).

Normally waking and running is no problem for them. The battery was my biggest concern before buying, but has turned out to be one of the best features – so far they last for anywhere up to 10 hours between charges, and when I close the lid they obviously switch off properly as they are always at the same battery level when I come back to them a few days later.

Having said that, I’ve only had them a couple of months, so it’s possible this will degrade quickly over time, but let’s hope not. My only gripe would be the lack of feedback from the earbuds. Once I’d downloaded the app and added touch features like changing volume and checking battery status this improved slightly, but it seems a bit of a flaw to not be able to physically switch them on/off, especially once they’re in the case and you can’t see them.

I’m also used to getting much more info from wireless headphones on the various statuses at the touch of a button, even from much cheaper Sony buds, so I’m a little disappointed that Bose seem to have put so little effort into the touch controls and the configurability of the various settings.

However, overall this a realtively minor concern when stacked up against the excleent sound quality, good fit and great battery life, which were my 3 main requirements – good job Bose!.

Avoid these earbuds if you like ease of use. Going from Bose SoundSport Earbuds to these has been a huge disappointment. and downgrade. These new Sport Earbuds are missing several functions compared to older models: They can only connect to one device at a time, and it’s difficult to connect to a different device if they are already turned on and connected to one device.

They also don’t have buttons for volume – you’re supposed to be able to slide your finger up and down the side for volume control, but this barely works as intended, and more often than not activates the devices microphone.

You cannot turn these off without the charging case – another failure in my opinion. During the warm months, if you don’t carry a purse/bag, you’ll have to cram a 3. 5 inch case into your pocket if you want these to turn off and not simply sit draining battery when not in use.

Trying to get these into pairing mode is also a major challenge. You basically have to take the ear buds, case, and the device you want to pair to, out of range of any other device which is already paired.

If you don’t, the earbuds will just connect to an existing device and won’t let you enter pairing mode easily, if at all. The actual sound quality is good, standard Bose product, but holy the lack of features and non-ease of use is like taking 10 steps backward in terms of technology.

Long story short I ended up exchanging there Ear Buds for the Jabra 85T. Read below if you want to know why Buy if you want a great sounding Ear buds. But that’s about all that’s good with these Earbuds.

Do not buy if you are planning on using for phone calls. I drive around alot and primarily outdoors. My employees complained alot about not hearing me, the sound was in and out and alot of background noise.

Bose Music App is also very basic, does not offer much control or settings. I also had a difficult time pairing my Earbuds with the App although the Ear Buds would pair with my device without the App fine.

Without pairing your earbuds with the App you will not have control into settings of Ear buds. After troubleshooting online, restarting my device helped with that issue and was finally able to connect Ear buds with the App.

Another downfall is that you’re not able to connect multiple devices/phones at the same time. You have to change the source ( Through Bose Music App). This does not work for me because I have a personal phone and I also have a work phone.

Not having an actual button on the right ear for volume control and call answering was a bit of an annoyance. I wasnt sure of the volume was being adjusted or if I answered the call. Overall just disappointed with the product, maybe I got a bad pair or maybe all of them are like how I experienced, I would have liked to try another pair but I didn’t not want to bother going through the same hassle again.

You can get a great sounding Ear buds for alot less.

All of this will be written with the iPhone user in mind, considering the iPhone is my primary daily driver device. I know the setup for Android devices is a tad different and requires to use of the Beats app, What can I say about these, they are Beats, and personally I see them as an improvement over their bigger brother, the Powerbeats Pro, considering they removed the ear hook (which actually became rather painful for me after a few hours for some reason), and added the non removable wing tip.

I also have a pair of Airpod pros, and those have been my go to device since Oct 2019 release so I will be mentioning a few of the differences since they are so close in features, and with the sales recently, close to the same in price points.

For starters, the H1 chip makes using these things with my iPhone, iPad and Apple TV a breeze to set up and to swap between devices, something I always enjoyed! The case is considerably smaller then the case for the Powerbeat Pros but slightly larger then the case for the AirPod Pros, which also affects the available charging power of the case itself, but I enjoy the smaller case as it is just easier to carry around in the pocket and as an added bonus, when closing the case, it makes that satisfying “click” noise just like the Airpods do (I know a LOT of people rather enjoy that and I am one of them!).

The case itself does NOT charge wirelessly, but unlike the Airpods, Beats used USB-C for fast charging, which for me is perfectly fine, but might be a deal breaker for some. They do include the same features as the Airpod Pros such as Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode, Spatial Audio and the ability to use Hey Siri for requests.

This also allows you to switch between those modes with just your voice or, depending on how you set up the buttons ( the b logo itself is a clickable button on both buds) you have the ability to assign them to either volume control or noise control depending on personal preference.

As far as how they fit, this might be an issue for some people. Compared to the Airpod Pros, the “body” I guess you could call it, is larger and might cause some discomfort to people. It is rather bulbous in shape, and if you have smaller ears, this might be problematic, especially if you are looking for earbuds that sit somewhat flush in the ear.

I still prefer the feel and fit of the Airpod Pros over these because of how my ears are, but this will differ for everyone. With winter coming and the temps dropping in some parts of the country (I am in Wisconsin sooo yeah lol), I find myself starting to wear my usual warm beanie hats, and this is where the Beats Pro fit became problematic for me.

That bulbous design they used, coupled with wearing a hat, caused discomfort rather quickly for me, as the added pressure of them being pressed into my ears eventually became unbearable (just something to think about if anyone works out while outside in winter, or just plain works outside and needs to wear hats) Sound quality and spatial audio (which is great on its own!) is on par with the AirPod pros, but I found that the ANC and Transparency modes slightly lacking in this department, even after using the ear tip fit test ( I got the good fit notification on both earbuds).

After using both, for me personally, it just seems like even though I passed the tip test, the seal is just not as tight as the Airpods, again another thing I assume is due to the design of the body of the buds being rather large.

This will of course be different for everyone as our ears are all different I am nowhere near and audiophile, but one thing I always loved about past Beats devices was their extra punch on the low end of my music, and while these do not disappoint, they seemed to have toned that down a little.

Even after messing around with the sound settings in Apple Music to increase bass, they really offer no noticeable difference over the Airpods. When making these, Beats was obviously targeting the workout community (water and sweat resistant.

not water or sweat proof) more then the casual user. While the wing tip does help keep them secure in your ear when working out or wearing them to work etc, on a personal level, they are less painful to wear for extended periods of time (unlike the Powerbeats Pro and the ear hook), and I will be using these more on a situational basis along with my Airpods.

At the end of the day, these are a decent sidegrade from the Airpod Pros, but it all comes down to user preference. Some love the Beats name, and with the price points being similar thanks to sales, you really cant go wrong with either.

If one has issues with the buds staying in your ears during workouts or general use, I would easily recommend these to that group, Beats did NOT disappoint with this offering.

First off these are the first airpods I’ve owned, but not my first experience with airpods, and I must say that I made the right choice! I never quite liked the AirPods Pro… they’re not secure for sweaty people like me in workouts and I’m sure those white tips must get discolored with ear wax after a while (gross).

Now the top 3 airpods right now are the airpods gen 3, AirPods Pro, and these bad boys (the beats fit pro)… my spouse has the Gen 3 (she got them after I ordered these) and I must say that they are more comfortable to use… you could keep those in all day and barely even feel them, and they’re pretty secure (at least in my ears), I’ve never actually worked out in them before though.

The Beats are the most secure airpods you can buy no doubt though… no matter the ear size or shape, these guys aren’t going anywhere once you fix those wing tips. The wing tips though start to poke your ear after a while so you start to feel them after a couple hours.

No big deal though… especially since you really don’t really need to use the wing tips unless you’re active. They stay in your ear pretty nicely in normal use without the wing tips… at that point, you can have them in almost all day no problem.

The Sound quality tho… oh yea boiiiii!!! I’m no audiophile and I haven’t owned many truly wireless earphones in my life (I’m coming from the first generation Samsung Galaxy buds from my days on Android… new Apple member here)… but these things KICK! I can never really comfortably listen to anything beyond 3/4 volume and I hear everything clearly… mids, highs and lows… and those Lows (drools)… some truly head thumping bass (depending on the genre).

I feel the music, especially in bass heavy tunes. This is also the first time I’m experiencing active noise cancelling, and trust me, it works… while it doesn’t block out all noise in the spectrum, it definitely blocks out most… it’s like you’re transported into your own little zone.

It’s like I can’t do without it most times when I’m home or in an environment where my attention or awareness isn’t necessary and I can literally just “zone out” to another space. The battery also lasts forever! I pretty much charge them a couple times a week, and that’s with active noise cancelling turned on.

To be fair though there are a couple of things to note: there is no wireless charging (I don’t really use that anyway)… it’s bad for the lifespan of your battery due to heat and is way slower than using a cable.

The case also definitely feels cheap compared to the AirPods Pro and Gen 3. The cases for those are definitely a cut above… the case for the Beats has this little “creaky” wobble to it that’s unlike the usual tight tolerances and quality I’ve come to appreciate for apple products.

The case is also a little bigger than the other AirPods, but it fits in my pockets daily just fine. All in all… it’s a top notch and feature rich pair of earbuds, and for my use where I value sound quality (deep base without sacrificing clarity or much balance), need a secure pair of earbuds for exercising, and the ability to hear my music over the world around me, these were definitely worth it.

I can’t go anywhere without them… especially since it is baked into the apple ecosystem so I can seamlessly switch between my phone and iPad without even realizing it… like magic as usual. Trust mi! If you’re an active person… apple or android (most features work for both), get these and done.

In closing I would definitely go for the AirPods Gen 3 though if you want something even more comfy, especially since they are cheaper. However, bare in mind that they are less secure in your ears and although they do sound pretty darn good, due to physics (they’re not in ear style earbuds) they won’t give you as great a seal and will not give you the sound quality of the Beats (but due to updated design they do give the AirPods Pro’s a run for their money)… you’ll also not get active noise cancelling and of course they only make sense to get if you have an iPhone.

Otium headphones are great quality for the price. I have owned several pairs of wireless headphones and have been impressed with the output and quality of these headphones. The battery life is great for the the charge time.

I go weeks without charging them and they still sound great up until they die. The quality of sound is the only negative aspect of the product. When this product is looked at alone they are great but when is comparison to other products the flaws become evident.

The sound at the lower levels is dim and unpronounced whereas with my other headphones they have sounded good and any volume input. The headphones also tend to be spotty when used at distances over 5 feet which is not terrible but it is annoying when you have long distances that need to be spanned.

Another complaint would be the quality of bass at high volumes. I Feel it delivers in lower settings but does not have quite as good of an output at higher volumes bass wise. As far as midrange and high range the sound is good throughout the sound spectrum.

Another picky detail is the ear clamp is sized for people with larger ears. I have smaller ears and the ear clamps aren’t capable of holding on to my ears during intense cardio workouts or running. When lifting however the rubber ear fashioning is enough to keep the whole ear bud in my ear and comfortable.

As far as aesthetics go I love the dark black color with the brims accented with a dull red. Delivery and packaging was great, the headphones come with a carry container and carabiner that are perfect for the product.

Overall the product is great when taking into account the price for $20-$40 you definitely get a great product. With a few minor tune ups i’m sure this product could compete with other headphones valued at twice the price.

Apon opening it looks like a great product, but the first few minutes with it were hard. The charging port was covered with the usual looking rubber cover thing, I was like all right lets charge this thing up.

This was part of the first problem, it didnt wanna open, after coubtless tries opening it i ended up getting the tip of a mechanical pencil and opened it from the side. Because of this flaw the rubber thing now is half open and sometimes pops off from one side leaving it there to dangle.

Then making the waterproof part a bit less realistic. It quickly charged, i was happy for that. But when I began using them I was instantly let down with the audio quality it sounded muffled like if you were to put a cloth over them and listen to the music like that.

They did fit in my ears very well though, so depending on what you look for in earbuds as in audio quality I would look for something a bit better. But as in style and it actually functioning i would accept these.

No previous experience with the product. I have trouble sleeping resulting from neck pain and like music while trying to sleep,. Until recently I have been using bulky headphones which caused a problem when using a cold pack on my neck.

“Hang-in” ear buds will not stay seated when I am prone but these stay in my ear the best of any, including my hearing aids. The pieces that circle the ear are soft and comfortable. I do not like the rectangle design.

Pairing to an iPhone is a snap and the three multifunction buttons, although very small, function as described. The charge port is ok but could be located more conveniently. As designed it is located next to the red wire connecting both ear buds making it difficult to seat the charge cord for fear of damaging the cord.

Sound quality is excellent. Instructional voice could be slightly louder. No information on endurance since I have had mine for about three weeks only. This device solved a problem for me.

The Treblab X5s are a great value pair of true wireless earbuds. They are more like the Apple AirPods in shape but include a very comfortable rubber ear support which makes these more suitable for sport.

There are different sizes so they can fit all sizes of lug hole. As for quality of sound, they do the job well. Im no audiophile but they are much better than a pair of Phillips Bluetooth earphones they replaced.

Base is decent and volume is sufficient, put it this way, I cant hear the treadmill noise at all when running at a good pace , all I hear is decent music. In case you are wondering, there are issues with delay when watching YouTube, but not when watching anything else.

For example, if I watch iPlayer, all video and audio sync perfectly, same when I watch Amazon Video on an iPad, perfect sync. YouTube however is a problem and just doesnt sync at all. Would I recommend these, yes I would most definitely and they are great value for money and easy to set up and use.

Unless you only want them for YouTube then Id say you need to look elsewhere.

I’ve owned two other pairs of treblabs Bluetooth earphones. Since I don’t like airpods and was trying to stay under $100, I figured I’d give these a try. I’ve been using them for about a month and they fit and sound great.

I use them an hour or so a day for working out and they’ve performed well. The charging case is very convenient. I used the buds for almost two weeks before I felt it might be time to charge the case.

I haven’t had them run dead as if yet. In most of the reviews I kept seeing the compalint that the left bud drops out here and there. I have experienced this but it is incredibly momentary, literally like a millisecond.

From the other people I’ve talked too, this is common with many brands of earbuds. Regardless it hasn’t hampered my workouts one bit. To be honest, I only use these for the gym, that was their intended purpose.

I can’t speak to sound quality with calls or video. They’re great so far and have done what I needed them too do. Definitely worth a try.

These are great ear buds at a fraction of the price of the apple product. Sound quality is amazing! My third time using Treblab products, their customer service is first class as well as their products.

Highly recommended.

These work much better than expected for the price. Anker lives up to its name. Quite comfortable and good fit. I prefer to use these without the back of neck strap. Three options for ear bud fit allows for a good fit for individuals.

Battery life was on or over the 6 hour quotation for me on average. These ones are awesome in that they warn you when the battery is getting low with a short fad out and fade back in of the sound (my motorcycle helmet does this, but 2 other blue tooth headsets i have tried just cut out when the battery goes).

Some reviews say the bass is not very good, the trick is, have your phone volume on max, and use the inbuilt volume adjustment. This is STANDARD practice when playing off your phone people. Run your phone (pre-amp) at max, and adjust the post-amp.

This way you are getting maximum fidelity from the audio being sent from your device. This works when running an AUX cable to your stereo or in your car, or to any bluetooth device with adjustable volume.

There is a small noticeable hiss to these headphones when there is quiet parts of songs or when listening to games ect. The headphones auto cut the sound (and hiss) when no audio is being streamed (but the headphones are still on/synced).

This is bearable for the price and quality of sound you getwhile playing. These are not noise cancelling headphones, while they do block out a lot of external sound, these are sports earbuds and for safety, are designed so you can hear external noises (dogs, kids, traffic ect).

Fantastic sound buds. Great sound quality. Truly a great value. I love Anker products and find them deeply reliable for at least 2 years. These did stop working after a year of use. Lucky, all of their products have 18 months warranty and I received a replacement in the mail literally 20 hours after calling them.

3/5 – Product 10/5 – Customer service.

very snug fit. great for running,biking or any physical activity. good battery life. very comfortable and NEVER fall out. Ive tried many to find the right buds. these are the best and super cheap for what you get! Highly recommend these buds.

I tried multiple bone conduction headphones before I tried Openswim. All of them were a poor fit for me, and the sound was just “so-so” on the other brands. Their earphones fell off and/or moved around so much that the sound was mediocre (I have a small head).

I actually like the fact that there is NO bluetooth on the Openswim. Bluetooth doesn’t work under water, and after trying multiple other brands that did have bluetooth, it got pretty annoying having to switch modes.

Then, with the press of a wrong button one to many times, you had to start all over again to get back in mp3 mode! The button placement and configuration works very well. The buttons are easy to get to and well-spaced.

The Openswim does NOT fall off or move around and is very comfortable — even on my small head. I especially like that they can fit under a swim cap. And the sound — is nothing short of WOW—absolutely fantastic!! What a pleasure enjoying the great r tunes of your tunes while swimming laps! (And, the sound when wearing earplugs is even better! Loading songs onto the Openswim was very straightforward.

Plug the USB into your computer, open the drive with the OpenSwim, and drag and drop to copy your files from your computer to the Openswim folder. Took less that a few minutes, and I loaded at least 100 files for a first go around, and still have space to add more.

Great capacity! My only wish would have been to have a “mini” sized Openswim for those of us who are more petite-sized. But all, in all, a wonderful product!.

I purchased two pairs of the AfterShokz Xtrainer at the same time. I was impressed with the design, build quality, the sound, and the ease of use. That was a relief as AfterSholz were the third brand of swim headphone I had purchased over the last five years.

The first pair Xtrainers were used on a daily basis, 2 km open-water swim, calmish water, free-style. OK – so really-really happy wth them until. the gremlin struck. Atfter 3 months, the right-side conductor quit – no sound.

This pair were returned to Aftershokz and it must be said, their customer service were amazing. No wrangling at all – the headphones were replaced immediately. While waiting for the replacement pair to arrive, I started to use the second pair that I had purchased.

Really-really happy until you gueesed it. Again, aprox 3 months of daily 2km openwater swimming and the sound went. This time, the left conductor. These were also returned and immediately replaced. Aftershokz customer service were really great again.

It’s a pity, as I really needed these headphones to be durable. I probably should say that I never wore the headphones under a swim cap – whethet that would make a difference or not, I’m not sure. I should also say that both sets of headphones would regain sound if I fooled around moving the conductor titanium frame to different positions.

This gave me the impression of an internal loose electrical connection. It could be that the volume of my swimming was a bit much fot the headphones to cope with. For anyone doing a lighter swim load, I would say give them a shot many other reviwers seem to have had no problem whatsoever.

This may be an overstatement, but I seriously love these headphones! They are an answer to a prayer practically. I have always wanted to swim to music and these make that dream a reality. The sound from the headphones in the air is slightly diminished, but the sound is still great and perfect underwater.

The ear plug that were added to the kit were a nice touch. They are a supper comfortable fit, I can have them on my head for hours and not have them bother me. The transferring of music is also super easy, and the charge to use time is great (short charge for long use).

They are also very comfortable with a swim cap on, and still easy to access the buttons that control the music. It is also nice to not worry about a Bluetooth connection because it means I can literally take the headphones anywhere and listen to my songs without worrying about distance away from my phone and my data plan.

The only compliant I have is the shuffle mode on the headphones is not super great. I have 300+ songs downloaded (approx. 37 hours of music) and it is very common that I will hear the same song two or three times within a four hour period.

So that could be approved on. Otherwise, these are great headphones, I would hightly recommend them!.

I looked everywhere for this older version of the PlantronicsBackBeat Fit. The new ones (after 2018, I think) are of real inferior quality to these older ones. In the older model the soundquality is excellent, there is no white noise/buzzing, and the menu-voice is crystal clear.

I am so disappointed that Plantronics obviously didn’t keep up their high standards. This older model, on the other hand, is excellent, and my previous pair lasted from February 2016 to February 2021; that’s five years.

They went with me to Indonesia and Mongolia and I exercised almost daily with them. And the only thing that actually broke on them was the plastic cover over the buttons. So I haven’t thrown away my old pair, in case they never make something as good as this again.

In the meantime, I’m thrilled to have found this brand new, older model. About the headphones: I don’t like seperated earbuds, which is why I prefer this type connected by cable. I also feel like they sit much better.

I have NO clue why anyone would buy for example AirPods. I do power yoga, which means my head is often upside down, and these stay put 100% of the time. They’re so comfortable too. Absolutely love them 🙂 Cons: Some with small heads (like me, size 54-56 cm) may feel like the cable is a bit long, but it’s a one size, so.

The older design was brilliant, I used them every day for about 3 years before my bag killed the headset. The second set lasted another 2 years before one of the earphones stopped working. I love this headset for running or listening music when working so I purchased my 3rd set.

Sadly by this point the company had changed to Poly & the design or manufacturing also sees to have completely changed & the quality along with it, the first new set I purchased didn’t work at all & had to be exchanged (Poly were great with the return and exchange).

My issues with the new design are: – The sound controls have switched sides from left to right. This seems really strange & isn’t in line with the BackBeat Pro headset I also have. – The push controls are not responsive.

Trying to turn the headset off can be tedious at times. – The little grip for indicating where the controls are is gone. – And my biggest issue which means I don’t even use the headset is that if I move any faster than a walking pace the right earpiece pops off.

This makes the headset useless for running. In the end my older headset started working again & that is what I still use. Its still going strong with daily use after 4 years. It would be brilliant to bring back that design & manufacturer.

Great high and mid range. Easy to wear except soft insert comes out of my ear easily. Controls a bit clunky. Im OK w 5 he battery life (if so – havent used that long yet). Charging not always clear. Cant use phone with road noise (but see below).

On the plus, its WP, compact, almost unnoticeable to me, simple pause and on off. Wish still made new. Made to allow u to hear your surroundings versus noise cancelling – perfect for safe biking!.

Please read through the review to its end and don’t be put off by my ramblings, this is a positive review for Aftershokz. I bought a pair of these Aftershokz bone conduction earphones about 2 1/2 yrs ago and to be honest I wasn’t impressed one bit and so put them in a drawer and that was that, lesson learned! So, when I came across them a couple of weeks ago I thought I’d give them another go.

However, this time around I am so so impressed with the sound these headphones produce. It took a couple of days for me to realise why the sound seemed so much better, it was me! Previously, I weighed in at 123kg, now I’m 79kg.

For me the weight loss was a consequence of Covid, lockdown and cocooning as I’m immunocompromised. I increased my exercise and in total I’ve lost 44kg (88lbs). One of the many benefits of there being less of me is the Aftershokz headband has less of me to pass the sound waves through to get to the bone, and as I see it this has resulted in a massive increase in the sound quality.

Just to confirm what I’m saying is I’ve not seen this fact written down anywhere but rather it is my personal experience with using the technology in these headphones. However, to be serious about this product I can report that they are in fact very good at what they do, which is produce a good midrange sound of what you’re listening to.

The down side to the technology in the Aftershokz is that they cannot give a good bass, if that’s your thing look else where. However, if your like me and listen all most exclusively to audio books or Radio 4/Ex they are quite brilliant and can’t be bettered.

Additionally, as I spend the day walking my dogs around my rural Tipperary home I can now enjoy a good audio book or broadcast and also be fully aware of what’s around me due to the ‘open ear’ aspect of these headphones and remain relatively safe.

In closing the only person that might want to think about buying these headphones are the more rotund amongst us, like I use to be. For me there really is a dramatic difference to the positive with the before and after sound production following a large weight reduction.

For anyone else that is of a more regular weight get these headphones and enjoy. The only thing to watch out for is if you have them up at full volume there is a slight tickle where the headset touch the temple from the ‘thumper’ but with the slightest adjustment downward in volume it will remove this sensation.

Enjoy.

I have had these headphones for a few days. I love the bone conduction headphones. I have tried various in ear buds, the bone conduction type leaves my ears open to hear surrounding sounds. I wear headsets for over 10 hours a day.

The earbuds would start to hurt my ears after a few hours and if I needed to talk to someone I had to pull them out. Having buds in my ears so much attributed to wax buildup too. If I’m in a loud environment, earplugs make these headsets work great.

I have had no complaints about voice quality on outgoing calls. The only thing that I do not like is the way they lay over the top of my ears. After 5 or 6 hours they irritate the top of my ears. Repositioning them stops the irritation.

I have tried another popular brand of bone conducting headphones and the Aftershokz are much better at conduction, sound leakage and comfort. I also have the Opencomm, the comfort of them is better than the OpenMove for extended use time.

Performance seems to be approximately the same.

So I kept seeing/hearing about this headset around that allows you to hear what’s going on while listening to music or podcast or whatever you listen to. Just worked a bunch of overtime and said screw it! I’ll try it! Got it and gave it a shot and am quite surprised how well it works.

Can hear everything going on around me and talk to people. I do work in a machine shop so it gets pretty loud, but I can still hear my music. Thing is awesome! You want to hear a negative thing, can’t all be positive right? Ok, fine.

Can’t adjust the headset to make it a bit tighter. I got a big head and it still feels relatively loose. Whatever, I am use to it. Only thing that truly upsets me is I can’t hear my audiobooks all that well.

Could be that the reader used a crap microphone, because I can hear some of the other books. But it just doesn’t get loud enough even switching through the other settings. Music though? Clear! Podcasts? Depends on which one, but Clear! Would like to see maybe a newer one from this brand and see if they make a couple of improvements that people complain about.

But would totally get another one if I got the chance or if this one craps out on me!.

I am happy with my TaoTronics AP005 HEPA Air Purifier (model # TT-AP005) and their customer service. I like the sleek look and the quietness of this purifier. I was disappointed when after 6 mths it stopped working.

I contacted customer service and they immediately sent me a replacement. I am a satisfied customer.

TBoltune Wireless Headphone is light weight and very easy to use. The design of the headphone shape actually cured inside your ear and makes a prefect fits. The battery life is excellent. The sound quality is very good.

The strong magnetic which holds both earpiece together and you will never lose them. Good Overall is an excellent product.

The sound is garbled which is a problem I do not have with a prior set of Boltune wireless headphones. The seal over the power charger port and the feel of the wire connecting the earbuds is also made of cheaper stuff– more plasticky and less pliable.

These are either knockoffs, or Boltune has down-graded it’s quality. They work OK if only used for headphones, but overall I’m a bit disappointed.

This product would have gotten 5 stars if it had the components of the XR100/XR500 plus this build quality. The ear hooks are definitely more secure. They are malleable and they hold their form so once they are in your ears they aren’t moving.

I originally bought the XR100s which I love. The sound is outstanding. Very loud and great bass. These also have very good sound, but it’s toned down a bit. You can see it in the specs. The driver in the XR100 and XR500 are the same, 11MM.

The XR700 and XR800 have a 10MM driver which is not quite as loud and doesn’t have the deep bass as the others do. Still a very good product. I was going to use these to replace the XR100, but I will probably give the XR700s to my wife who is more concerned with the way they fit.

The XR700s definitely stand out in that realm. Some may prefer the sound of the XR700 and XR800. It’s probably a more crisp and balanced sound, but I like volume and bass for my workouts. It’s all a matter of preference.

Overall very good and a great price.

I bought these for my wife to use at work. She does a lot of bending and moving all the time, and her wired ear buds got in the way and were always falling out. She loves the Treblab Sports Headphones.

They don’t bother her ears at all and they don’t fall out. She also loves the fact that they have a volume control and an easy power button. Sound great, long lasting battery, very pleased. She was so happy I bought myself a pair.

These earbuds are perfect for working out. They are flexible and you are able to form it to your ear. The music sounds great but a little bass heavy. Highs are good and so are the miss and lows. They sound great.

When i’m running these things don’t move and are comfortable. Battery life is around 9-9. 5 hours. Perfect for a day of working out. Great choice for working out and basic listening.

I currently own the powerbeats 2 by Dre. I have had them for a little over a year. They are expensive, but sound amazing. I was looking for a cheaper alternative for a 2nd pair that would sound decent enough and not be too expensive so I could wear while doing chores, mowing lawn, ect.

and not be so worried of accidentally breaking them. I will have to say, I am very surprised with these Otium beats! They sound amazing! In fact, when I compare the sound to the expensive powerbeats 2, the quality in sound and bass is very close.

I like the power button and volume controls better than the powerbeats 2. they are more user friendly for Android users than powerbeats 2. My only complaint is the piece that goes over the ear is pretty large and not adjustable, which makes the fitment for most a bit loose.

All in all, excellent product for the money. you will not be disappointed!.

great at the price point. I use these with a tablet that has dolby atmos equalizer software and set on even or warm they sound excellent. Bass notes sound well rounded and natural, there is a little sibilance on extreme high notes.

Voices are very clear. Charge takes 2 hours and last about 4-5. fairly comfy if you don’t mind in ear and they stay put.

Worst investment for the price point that I’ve ever made on headphones. The sound quality is alright, and the battery lasts a long time. However: The battery is the size/shape of a tootsie roll and not terribly comfortable.

One of the rubber earbuds kept slipping off its mounting, to the point where I had to crazy glue it on to keep from losing it. The micro USB charge port is finicky and often requires wire wiggling to get it charging.

The battery charge display goes from 100% to 70% to 40% to 10% without ever showing a number in between, so you’re never sure exactly how much battery life is left. When the battery is at 10% the headphones will beep loudly into you ears every few seconds until they die, making listening to that last song or finishing your phonecall extremely aggravating.

Truly stupid design choice there. I’ve had these for less than a year and one side of the earbuds has just died on me. Bad design, bad quality of craftsmanship. 0/10, will never buy an Altec Langsing product again.

Aside from a decent battery life, there’s really nothing good about these headphones. The audio quality is poor; music sounds dull and hollow. The mic is terrible. When making a phone call I end up switching from headphones to the phone because people can barely hear me otherwise.

The ear pads fall off extremely easily, such as when pulling the headphones out of a jacket pocket. I’ve lost a few already this way. The battery pack is in a relatively heavy, cylindrical housing that refuses to stay in place at the back of the neck, but rather always wants to slide down one side or the other.

Everytime you power them up, they say, very loudly, “welcome to Altek Lansing” before the (also very loud) start-up tone. It’s better to turn them on then put them in your ears. The power down tone is painfully loud too, regardless of what volume you are at.

A waste of my money.

I bought these to use while working out and swimming at my gym , these are sweat proof and 100% waterproof. I bought them honestly because while doing laps in the pool I find my self getting bored and figured if I had music to listen to like while lifting it would make me swim longer because I don’t notice the time.

These have great premium sounding speakers in them, the bass is deep not crackling and the treble is on point. These are Bluetooth so no wires and they sync up pretty much instantly. It wasn’t hard syncing the for the first time either like some are.

Another awesome feature these have is THEY FLOAT! So if your swimming or kayaking or boating and they fall out of your ears, you will find them on the top of the water!! These have a 33 foot Bluetooth range so you can be 33 feet away from your device while using this and the connection wont disconnect.

You also get a average of about 22 hours of straight use time out of one single battery charge. I even use these to make a phone call or answer them while swimming! This set comes with several size ear tips to ensure a good fit and it also comes with a nice carrying case so you can keep everything together and not lose the ear pieces and the charging cord or the earbuds themselves.

You can also purchase these in 4 different colors! I really enjoy this set of Altec Lansing Waterproof Earbuds!.

The Ipx7 are just worse than the Ip7 earbuds in every way. The chord goes underneath the earbuds instead of around the ear loop so it hits your cheeks. The battery seems half as long even though they both state 10 hours.

The controls are slow and sometimes don’t work. The “low battery” message starts at 20% instead of the 10% of the Ip7 and is much more frequent. The price is also similar, if not a bit more expensive than the Ip7 model.

The EcoSurvivor earbuds were quickly paired with my Samsung Note 8. I fully charged them with the included usb cable prior to use. Cable length is really short but since it’s standard android cable you can use any quality usb cable.

A selection of different ear pieces or sizes are included for proper fit. I had a good fit straight from the box. Easily adjust sound volume from your device. Answer calls with 1 click of the ear piece.

I had excellent sound with both earbuds in place but lost sound volume when removing 1 earbud. Music was crisp and clear. Bass was full and trebles were mixed well for overall good sound quality. Battery life was excellent.

Used for 7 hours with no recharge or loss of sound quality. Ear pieces are flexible and wrap behind the ear for a secure fit. Keeps them in place for active use such as jogging or working out. I had mild discomfort in 1 ear after a prolonged use most likely due to not being used to the larger sized earbud I used.

The earbuds are connected with a super lightweight flat cord. I placed behind my neck and it did not bother me. Overall nice quality set.

I bought these back March 2020 and I would say they have been really good since I used them daily ALL DAY. I used them to listen to music all day at the office and answering phones calls from both work and personal thru out the day.

Thats how good the battery life is on it, only one thing I would say about them is that they aren’t very good at noise canceling. People would say that they could hear other people taking around me or in the next office when both office doors were open.

Other than that they were very worth the money!!.

SoundBuds Curve are an excellent example of what I would like to see all wireless headphones like (to date I have owned 5 different brands). They are light, have great sound, excellent battery life, and are not as cumbersome as others that I have tried in the past.

Pros: I cant stress this enough, the battery life is excellent. I listen to media pretty regularly (3+ hours a day) and these are the first wireless headphones that have lasted more than 2 days. The design of these headphones is good, the ear cuffs (which I had never used on other headphones) are really comfortable.

Once they are on, I don’t even notice that they are still there. They also do not have a habit of falling out of my ears. The noise cancelling is very good. It is hard to tell if this is just a result of a very good fit in my ears or if the noise cancelling technology is that efficient, but any ambient noise seems to be filtered out when they are on.

Finally, the range of the bluetooth is amazing. I have left my phone in one room and walked to another without any interruption in audio (about 20 feet with a wall). Cons: There are only 2 problems that I have immediately noticed.

1. The buttons are a little stiff, but I expect that this is just because they are new. 2. After I charged these a few times, I thought I had heard a crack when unplugging the headphones. I looked but I did not see any noticeable damage.

If I had to guess, when unplugging the headphones, I may have separated the plastic shell, surrounding the charging port, slightly. Over all, this product is amazing, and I would be hard pressed to find a better pair of Bluetooth mobile headphones.

Bought them a couple weeks ago, they worked out well for a couple days. Had problems pairing after the first charge though. Then it was pretty smooth for a while, working well and sound was good. But the whole time I’ve had them, the little hatch you have to open up in order to expose the charging port has given me such problems.

Firstly, it’s easy to confuse which side you pull up on the charging hatch so you end up messing it up a little bit if you try too hard. Secondly, there’s not enough room for the charging cable to be flush with the port, the hatch gets in the way and sorta between the charger and the port, even when you move it out of the way.

And lastly, the little hatch thing I’ve been talking about is presumably attached to the wiring of the earbuds. The thing you have to fenagle with every time you need to charge these earbuds is actually connected to the wires that give you the sound.

And because of all these issues with the hatch, my earbuds are now broken and I’m out 30 bucks. If you’re gonna buy these, be gentle and make sure your hand dexterity is a tier above the rest, you’ll need it whenever you have to charge the earbuds.

Not recommending or buying from Anker again.

These Jabras are very good for the price. They sound good although not really neutral sounding – it’s a bit bassy. They are suprisingly comfortable and they stay on your ear really well – even when walking.

It can also change to single bud operation, i. e. one bud on your ear and one back on the case. They won’t work if you share the buds with another person, i. e. one person has one bud on one ear and another person has the other bud on one ear – only one person will hear sound.

The ANC is a bit pedestrian – it doesn’t really work well in blocking mid-high frequencies, but it blocks out some low frequency rumbling noises, but that’s about it. You’ll get more passive noise cancelling if you fix the bud really well into your ear canal.

The ANC on this unti is not good compared to my Sony WH-1000XM3s. Also just to note, the ANC doesn’t turn on when you are using it for calls – ANC automatically switches off when you receive a call – so this is not recommended for using as a headset as they’ll hear all the noises around you.

Overall it’s a good unit. I bought it for 139 when it was on sale. They sound good and there is ANC. I’d recommend buying this if you plan to cancel out low frequency noises, e. g. in public transport, in a plane.

Or if you want to go for a run – this stays on.

This is my second pair of Jabras (previous pair was the Elite Active 65t’s) and I can honestly say I am a big fan of the brand. The sound quality is fantastic, the battery is long lasting, and I love how durable they are.

I accidently put my previous pair through the washing machine twice and they still worked fine. The controls on these are a bit different, and I think I preferred the my previous pair’s controls (although I’m sure I will adapt to these just fine).

Jabra improved the design of the charging case so the earbuds magnetically secure themselves into position. The elite active 65t’s did not, and sometimes they would not charge properly because there were not in the correct position when put into the case.

The bluetooth connection is faster, and far more intuitive. They also fit my ear like a glove, which not all ear buds do, so these are a wonderful find. Strongly recommend.

My comparison of the 75t active elites with the latest ANC firmware is in reference to Air Pod Pros(occasional use), Jabra 65t, Sony wh-1000xm3 and over-ear Bose QuietComfort 35 II and the Beats X. Using for calls, podcasts, music in and out of the gym for at least 10h per day connecting to iOS, Android, Linux (RHEL, Ubuntu) and Windows 10×64.

Best overall for battery, sound quality listening and for those on the call are the Bose. They are over-ear and therefore not great for floor or bench activities in the gym and get pretty sweaty for cardio.

The battery charge still holds for all-day use even after two years however the ear pads are starting to break down and flake. The biggest hassle with the 75t’s is switching between phone and laptop to the point I no longer bother and just switch headsets when I switch uses.

The second biggest hassle is that the battery does not last the day without having to re-charge in their charging case and the case is good for about 2 re-charges. Meaning that I cannot be fully mobile for the day without a cable and battery pack or plug.

The Sony’s were way worse, less than 2hrs talk time while the 75’s are maybe an hour more before needing a re-charge. The re-charge is quick but you can’t use them while charging. The ANC (active noise cancelling) is barely noticeable.

There is a difference but not close to as good as over-ear. If you need the ANC, don’t go with in-ear. Sound quality for music is good but would say fourth place behind Sony, Bose, Beats. Sound quality for calls to me are quiet and with frequent complaints from the others on the call.

Bose frequently gets compared to being on a wired landline headset. The 85T’s might be better but at ~300$ will they be better remains to be seen. The 75t Active Elites were 240$. Sony’s about the same, Bose was over 300$.

They work perfectly, are super easy to pair and the sound quality is very good. The fit is acceptable but I wish there were a slightly smaller set of ear buds, the smallest are still a tad too big for me, that and cost are the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

The price is the absolute most I would pay ( I understand iBuds are ridiculously expensive and so have never even considered them).

Disappointing sound quality, unable to change any sound settings. App seems to be 100% useless. Wish I never purchased them.

Audio is clear and loud, except sometimes the other side can hardly hear what I say, don’t know if this is the carrier problem or the headset. I love the sound of musics.
