Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I listen to music and even stream videos at work all the time (I have two screens, so I usually have something playing on the side, while I do my work). I also have to get up quite a bit and go back and forth from my desk and answer phone calls, so it become a big hassle to continuously have to pull the wired earphones out of my ears or to grab them again whenever I got back to my desk or off of a call. I got annoyed with the wires always being in the way, so I took to Amazon to find something to change things up a bit. When I found these little earbuds, I was a little skeptical, because of the mixed reviews. Here's my takeaway: PROS: - Small, lightweight design makes it so convenient to pop right into your ear and not get in the way (even with my long hair, I can have the earbud in my ear and do my hair/makeup while listening to music or watching a show). - Charging is quick and convenient; the little usb charger plugs in easily into any adapter (how I have it at home) or right into your computer (right in front of me, at work). The way it snaps right into the charger is also really convenient, since it's such a small piece. I can usually just drop it onto the charger, and it'll find its place. - Sound quality is nothing mind-blowing, but I can hear everything loud and clear. I have yet to go past 25% volume on my computer, phone, or tablet with these little earbuds, because anything higher than that feels like I might blow an eardrum. - Range isn't bad. I can walk away from my desk and grab some water (about 25 feet away), without losing sound. These are bluetooth earbuds, after all, not walkie talkies. - Quick bluetooth connection: I have these paired with various devices (pairing was as easy as can be, too), and they connect almost instantly. Sometimes, there is a little bit of a delay (even then, just a few seconds), but that's usually if I have all of the devices on together and it connects to a different device than the one I'm currently using. - Comes with an adorable, semi-hard carrying case, which is perfect for throwing into your purse or gym bag (or even your pockets, if you don't carry a bag). CONS: - They don't hold a crazy long charge (which is why I took off one star). I usually grab it right off the charging dock when I get to work, and if I don't charge it during the day (I work 8 hours a day), I'll get that "battery low" warning. The best solution I've found is that whenever I get up from my desk to go to the bathroom, or when I have to make/take a phone call, I just plop it down onto the charger (that quick charge comes in handy for this reason). The only time I get the low battery warning now is if I forget to do that and just put it down on my desk or something, during the day. - Which brings me to the other downside: the warnings are LOUD. It often scares the living daylight out of me and I scramble to get it out of my ear when it goes "BAT-TER-Y LOWWW." I wish the warning sounds (along with the "power on/off") were adjustable, but that's not really anything that would ultimately deter me from using these earbuds. Some people might wish that these came in pairs, but I actually like the fact that it's just the one earbud. I can easily pause a show or song and pick up the phone, and I also don't miss anything if someone starts talking to me or if someone walks into my office. They're inconspicuous, but not flimsy - I've even used them while working out at the gym and had absolutely no issues. I had one at home (to use in the mornings, while I do my makeup and get ready for work, especially on mornings when my husband starts work later than I do), and liked it so much that I got a second one for the office. I love these little earbuds, and would definitely recommend them! If my review has helped you in any way, please let me know, or hit "Yes" under this review. Thank you! :)
