FINALLY! Bluetooth headphones/earphones that fit AND perform
I've tried numerous models(Yurbuds Inspire LE BT, JayBird BlueBuds X, Plantronics Back Beat GO 2, Audio 66 BTS+) and simply could not find any that would perform well enough, and fit properly at the same time. I'm very picky about the fit and don't want to be distracted by it while working out, and previously Yurbuds Inspire(wired) were the only ones that fit my ears properly(the Yurbuds Inspire LE BT were bulky and the sound quality was awful). I cannot use in ear canal earbuds, as they just never fit and irritate me to no end. I've tried all the different tips that come with each, and simply cannot find any that get a proper seal and stay in my ears. So I was stoked when I found these, as the shape and porting of the sound is very similar to the Yurbuds Inspire wired.
Fit - Great, stays in ears, don't notice bouncing around, behind the head wire is flexible and not distracting. I've used these during squats and benchpressing, and have not had an issue with the wire behind my head.
Range - I walked all around my gym and left these in my bag, probably at least 40 to 50 feet and never had it cut out once(paired with Samsung Galaxy S4)
Sound - The sound is much better than expected. Higher quality than I noticed on the others I've tried(The Audio 66 BTS were great, but they were over the ear headphones and cumbersome). Two minor things though. Because there isn't a perfect seal and the port is a little short, the bass is a little washed out, and the trebel is a little tinny. Also the volume is a little less than what I wished for, but it's not that bad(I like it LOUD). BUT WAIT! I FOUND A FIX FOR IT!
So, I loved the Yurbuds Inspire earbud covers so much; how it ported the audio right into my ear canal, and made for a perfect secure fit, that I decided to take those covers, make a small slit in them for the support piece to pull through, and put them on the BackBeat Fits(see attached photo)... It really kicked these up a notch! The fit got even better, the volume increased, the bass was much more thumping. NOW I think I have the perfect bluetooth earbuds.
