Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a runner, I've definitely gone through my share of headphones, and I'm usually looking for the cheapest but best quality I can find since I seem to go through so many. There's a great lack in quality across the board for good-sounding headphones, Bluetooth or not, and options can vary on quality drastically from one person to the next. I compare all headphone sound quality with all EQ options turned off on my phone or any other device. Then you can EQ the headphones to your liking better, which some people may want to do with these. I absolutely love these headphones so far. I actually loved them so much, that when I lost them at a race after only having them for a week or two, I nearly immediately bought them again! The charge lasts a long time, not sure exactly how long yet, but I will find out shortly. They get daily use especially since they are waterproof as I run and listen to music usually no less than an hour every day. The sound quality is more geared to those who want more bass in their "buds" in my view. This is nice for a change! Nearly all my music is within the bass-centered genres from chill-step, to classical themes, to high-energy trance and house. These buds do very well with my music taste, though I do dabble with the EQ at times. These are lighter, sleeker, and look much better than many of the other ones out there with a battery life such as it has. My previous pair had a long battery life, but looked like giant gaudy bulbs sticking out of my eardrums. These just look so much cooler ;-) The fit can be tricky. They try to supply you with every earbud you could possibly need to try, and sometimes I use different ones for different ears. For these to sound their best, take the time to fit them optimally. The earstrap doesn't really do much. It's so flexible that I'm not sure it does much to keep the earbud in place, but you don't notice it's there at all since it's so light and soft. I almost wish it was a bit more useful or adjustable in some way for smaller ears. At times, while running, I'll find out one of them has slipped in front of my ear strangely. So having a smaller size or stiffer/more adjustable around-the-ear hook might help some with getting these to stay in place well. I'm still trying to get the fit just right myself, because if I'm running hard, the earbuds often start to get loose after a mile or so, but I'll get it right. The cord is short and light weight on these which is fantastic, because some BT earbuds have really long cords that get in the way no matter what you do. The cord is light enough that it does not cause any pulling on the earbud, like some Bluetooth buds do. Buttons are easy to use and plenty versatile. Pairing is super fast and easy. This is an amazing option in this price range, in my opinion, especially if you feel like you've never found earbuds with enough bass in them. I'm not sure how many Bluetooth headphones in the higher/expensive price range would compare, honestly, I think they'd be hard to beat. Recommend: Yes, even for activities such as running. Once you find the perfect fit, they are absolutely awesome!
