Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I can't bring myself to give this product 1 star despite how upset I am with the purchase. These things are really cool. The functionality and concept is definitely the wave of the future. It's great how the storage receptacle is also a battery charger so you never have to really worry about finding an outlet. The touch sensitivity controls is impressive as well and very responsive. Although i didn't go swimming in them it is so cool that they are waterproof. Great idea as well giving you 3.5 gigs of space to store music if you don't want to bring your phone to stream. On top of all that it's amazing how well they fit in your ears and stay in your ears. Now for the disappointing side of things: I'm a passionate long distance runner. I utilize another app, Runtastic, to track my distance and performance so i wasn't really interested in the activity functionality. Upon first putting them in my ears and connecting them via Bluetooth to my Galaxy S7 i was a very surprised to hear so much static while streaming music. Come to find out there was a firmware update released so i immediately updated them and the static was reduced but not completely eliminated. I'm not a sound quality snob so i didn't let it get to me and focused on all the other cool features. But then it happened. I went for my first run in them. I couldn't believe what i was hearing! The sound was cutting in and out consistently. I had my phone strapped high on my stomach via a running storage belt (i don't like to wear arm bands) and it couldn't hold a connection while i ran. I finally had to turn my music off because it was driving me crazy! I originally assumed that everyone doing activities in the promo video, like running, were streaming music. They must have been listening to stored audio because the Bluetooth connectivity is not reliable enough for activities. I'm in the process of trying to return them. I have to assume this will be a difficult process. $350 plus shipping is ridiculously overpriced for this item since you can hardly consider BT a feature.
