Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I work maintenance in the evenings by myself so I listen to headphones about 40 hours a week. Because I listen to headphones so much I am unusually picky about them. In general there are 4 things I look for from a pair of headphones : 1) how do they wear?: are they comfortable? do they stay in place as I move around and use equipment? 2)battery life/range: can it make it through a work day? If I plug my phone in to charge can I walk away from it and still get a signal? 3) sound: how is the quality? Does it get loud enough for me to hear it over the sound of equipment? 4) call quality: can I here them ? Can they hear me over back ground noise? OK. So here's my review broken down by category. 1) how does it wear?: 5 stars. The most comfortable headphones I've owned. I barely noticed it was around my neck and it stayed in place no matter how I moved. 2) battery life/range: 3 stars. The battery made it through a whole day easily. The Bluetooth range was odd, I could set my phone down and walk out of the room and get a clear signal even with a wall or two in between. However if my phone was in my pocket it would occasionally cut out. only for a split second at a time so It wasn't too bad but it was annoying. 3) sound quality: 3 stars. Volume was great, I could easily hear it over equipment. Sound quality wasn't bad. Music was a little flat but clear (about what I expect for less than $50). However I ran into a problem when listening to podcasts. At higher volumes the voices would start to distort and I would sometimes get an odd clicking noise. 4) call quality: 5stars. Call quality was amazing. My wife said she could hear me better with the headphones than she could when I just used my phone. I could hear her just a clearly. After using these headphones for a couple days I did decide to return them. The deal-breaker for me was the distortion during podcasts. I probably listen to podcasts 30 out of my 40 work hours so it's important to me. However I still gave them 4 stars and would recommend them to someone who listens primarily to music. They really were a good pair of headphones. They just weren't for me.
