These are AMAZING Headphones for Certain Purposes... but People Just Don't Get it -_-
These are truly amazing headphones! Nice sound, comfortable fit (I use the included rubber band) and it allows me to hear everything going on around me! Which is exactly what I was looking for! I basically just wanted background music while I bike, jog, work, etc.
Has great controls for changing songs, volume and google voice!
Here's the thing: PEOPLE. DON'T. GET IT. Some of my friends get the purpose of these headphones (to have background music but still be able to hear what's going on around you) and love them. In fact some of these friends of gone out and bought some after hearing mine. But what other people don't get is that THESE ARE NOT MADE TO DROWNED OUT ALL OTHER SOUND. Some of my other friends wear it and are like, "I don't like it, I can still hear too much sound around me......." even though I literally just explained that that is their purpose -_- The whole point of these is to be able to HEAR what's going on around you. It can be dangerous to ride a bike with headphones in. You may not hear a car or person or something that you should.
So... If you are looking for amazing sound and DON'T want to hear what's going on around you, then obviously DON'T BUY THESE HEADPHONES. If you are looking for headphones that don't cover up your ears, allowing you to hear traffic, people, etc, then these are what you are looking for. They are the best for that. It gives you background music. And when you want, you can crank up the volume and pretty much drowned out other sounds anyway.
