The best for $20
Hello, I have had this for only two days so my review is not about how it holds up to abuse over time. Just a PRO/CON List. Overall great little Blue Tooth headset for only $20 at Amazon. PRO 1. It's $20 at Amazon Great Price 2. Blue Tooth has a good range (unless you area wearing tight pants then somehow connection is bad - See Comments below for explanation) 3. Sound is very decent compared to products that cost five times more 4. Sports? Yes. I've used them for running, Aerobics, Weight Lifting and just walking around. The Headsets never fell or felt like they were going to fall 5. Battery Life is great (8 Hours) 6. Very comfortable to wear (no issues for me). 7 . NO WIRES!!! (sorta). CON 1. The headsets stick out a bit. This can be a problem if you wear a hoodie or a hood while raining (See Comments for more). 2. Trying to connect to a device is not the most intuitive process (read comments below) and can be a bit frustrating 3. The tail can get in your way and that can cause you to feel it pulls as you move your head left/right. 4. It can only be paired with one device at a time (not sure if this is a real problem since it's not for me). Comments PRO 2 - Bluetooth range is pretty amazing. I can have a device 30 feet away and still get great audio (thru at least one wall). Unless somehow you have tight pants. I use Tight running pants when I run in the Winter. Putting the Source in my pants pocket caused the signal to break up somehow. I don't know if this is because of my device or the headset. While wearing loose fitting pants (sweats) I had no issues. As mentioned I left my MP3 player in another room and walked to the front door of my house and continued to get great sound. CON 1 - Headsets stick out a bit. I wear a hood when running (especially when it rains) and because the headsets stick out a bit they rub against the hood. The rubbing of the headsets against the hoodie of my jacket causes the noise to be transferred to the headset and you can hear it. It's not loud enough to not let you hear the music but if this is something that bothers you then get a more expensive product. CON 2 - Blue Tooth Connection - Trying to connect to a device the first time can be a bit frustrating. All I can say is don't do like me and read the instructions. The Device turns on by pressing the button for 3 seconds and it only connects when the device is off and press the button for 8 Seconds. Except the device doesn't tell you it is in pairing mode with audio or when it connects. The only way to know is to look at the little LED red/blue blinking light (which indicates it's in pairing mode) and when it goes blue it is paired.
