Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been searching for a pair of wireless headphones to use throughout the day. At the gym, sometimes at work, or even school. Last week I bought a pair of Jaybird Bluebird-X’s, but the sound quality was very poor and so decided to invest a little more and bought the Powerbeats 2. When compared to the Bluejay’s the sound is spectacular, much cleaner, and the bass much deeper. When listening to the Bluejay’s I felt like the music was far away and couldn’t really feel it. It felt distant like listening to vinyl records through a muffler. The Beats do a lot better, the sound quality is comparable to the reliable basic iPhone headphones. Bluejay’s had this very frustrating “feature” where the music paused every time the remote was used. Whenever the volume was lowered or increased the music would pause for a brief time, an absolutely pointless distraction. Luckily the Powerbeats didn't implement this feature. The Bluejay’s had 8 hours of battery life compared to the beats 6 hour. This was probably due to the lower music quality, but I don’t think the 2 hours of battery life will make a huge impact on my use, as I’ll often have access to a machine or charger thanks to my trusty Nomad. I enjoyed the Bluejay’s carrying case a lot more, it felt great, was easy to carry, and made out of plastic that actually protected the headset. The beats carrying case feels cheap and made from cloth probably won’t protect the headphones when pressure is put on it. Protections, seems to be the common problem with the Powerbeats. Many of the reviews on Amazon claim they are not water resistant and easily break within the first month of use. So I'll probably come back and update my review in a couple of weeks :) Update: After having the headphones for about 3 weeks, I've started having problems with them turning off during workouts at the gym. I'm not sure whether it's due to sweat, but after about 40 minutes in it just dies and stops working for a couple of hours. ** UPDATE #2 ** I'm actually still mad they stopped working so soon and reading other peoples reviews it seems to be a common problem! ** UPDATE #3 ** For almost the last 3 months I've been using the Sony MDRAS600BT Active Sports Bluetooth Headset (Orange). The sound is spectacular, the isolation and fit are amazing, and they are almost completely water resistant! A much better product for a much better price.
