Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought these so I could listen to podcasts during my 45-60 minute bike commute. They work great for biking! The only time I can't clearly hear my podcasts is when a motorcycle goes by. Other cyclists do notice the sound when we pass each other, or when I pull up behind them at a stoplight. But as far as I can tell it's not loud enough to actually bother anyone. Also, using Google maps on my phone to navigate while biking is so much better with these speakers. I can hear the nav clearly without blasting the volume on my phone. For the price I wanted to use them more often than just while biking, and it turns out they're great speakers all around. I now do not want to use the phone without them - they're way better than using the speakerphone, for both me and whomever I talking with. And even for listening to music at home, I prefer these to any other speakers I own. My sister is hard of hearing, so I bought these for her, and she LOVES them! She connected them to her TV, and now she can hear dialog and sound effects she hasn't heard for years, and she doesn't have to blast the volume on the TV. She also uses them for phone calls, both at home and in the car, and she loves that she can hear people clearly even while she's driving. Battery life is really impressive. After 2 hours listening to them on the bike, the battery is still at 80%. I never fear running out of charge. My only tiny little complaint is that the charging port is perpendicular to the zipper on the cover, so you have to unzip the cover further and stretch it out a bit to plug in the charger; it would've been better if the port were parallel to the zipper. But seriously, that is the only "complaint" I have about these speakers. I love them.
