Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ok, so I have tried several of these type headband headphones over the past year or so. All have had their drawbacks....except for this one. The ones with wires have obvious issues, the BT ones with the boxy speakers are extremely uncomfortable if you are a side sleeper, and most BT ones have short battery life. I have the earlier version of this product which works well except the battery life didn't seem to last long. It would last long enough for me to fall asleep but would be dead when I woke up later in the night...which I always do. So, after trying some of the alternatives I thought I would just buy another one of the earlier versions and have one for going to sleep and one for when I woke up in the middle of the night. I was very surprised to find out that this improved version battery life not only lasts through the night but for several days before needing to be recharged ( I do power the headphones off in the morning). Also, I do set the audio book on my iPhone to play for 30 or 45 minutes when I go to sleep and when I wake up in the night so maybe this improved headphones has a power save mode when nothing is being received from the iPhone. Whatever the case, the headphones have at least a 60% charge 5 days later. Since I have had the new version I have not used the older ones at all. And, as noted by others the thin speakers and the overall construction and padding make these BT headphones very comfortable for side sleepers.
