Great sound.. When it works
I am a bit of a frugal guy and so I have been dancing around getting a good pair of wireless earbuds for the right (low-mid-ish) price. I tried a few before seeing these at a more than reasonable price of $45 bucks. I was pumped and when I got them in my ears and fired up some music, needless to say I was impressed and glad I had lucked into this purchase. Until the right earbud kept dropping connection/sound.
I can't tell you how disappointed I am after experiencing what I would say is really good sound quality, a solid product build, incredible fit/comfort and generally responsive and intuitive control performance. And despite seeing this complaint popping up in a few reviews, I guess I thought I would be one of the lucky ones.
I will say that it is incredibly reliable when I'm inside either in my office or at my home, no issues whatsoever. But I do a majority of my listening while biking or out on a walk-about or in the grocery store. So to have the audio cut out CONSISTENTLY with my phone no more than 3 feet away in my pocket is incredibly frustrating.
It is most noticeable when I am outside on the street at work, and I think it might have something to do with the environment that I am in, a downtown metropolitan area. Perhaps it's something with the environment/buildings/signal interference, which would suck greatly since I ordered a replacement. Hopefully it's just a faulty pair, I will be updating my review upon further analysis of the replacement pair. Until then, at least one works I guess..
UPDATE:
So I have tried a second pair and the problems outlined above plague this set also. I have subsequently purchased a pair of SoundPEATS for about $38.00 and have had significantly less issues with what might be considered an inferior brand. I have experienced two instances of signal interruption, one was literally a split second interruption, the other lasted for several seconds but this is no way comparable to the issues I had with the Sesh buds. For the money, the SoundPEATS are both more reliable and also offer a similar sound quality. What small percentage of bass they are lacking in comparison to the Sesh buds is negligible when faced with the incredibly poor performance Sesh delivers. I would recommend only buying Sesh if you are using them in an enclosed area that isn't inundated with other signals as I am positive that is the issue here. The Sesh buds cannot maintain a solid connection when faced with ambient wireless signals of any significance.
