Decent Headphones
04/21/2013
Pros:
- Decent sound and a water resistant sport headphone for good price
- Good range so I can listen to music without having to carry phone around while moving around my apartment.
- Eliminates the need for wires while working out, which is fantastic.
- Multiple sized adjustable buds for tailored fit.
- Good battery life, allowing for multiple hours of music listening during workouts or other activities. Not quite the 8 hours advertised, but variation from the "perfect" conditions is to be expected.
Cons:
- Initial pairing was a bit problematic. My headset requires the sync button to be pressed for about 10 seconds, while the instruction manual says press button for 5 seconds. This made me think it was DOA at first.
- Microphone is not that great. Seems to pick up a lot of static when used for voice on both computer and phone based calls according to person on other end.
- Button positioning isn't the greatest. It has three small unlabeled buttons closely grouped on the underside which makes it difficult to use without unseating a bud or taking off the headset, especially while running.
Overall Review:
- Although its a sport model, for me the headphones tend to bounce on the back of my head while running, eventually working themselves out of position in my ears. Since this has happened with other headphones I have owned as well, I can't really count it as a con of the product itself but rather the activity paired with bud type inter-ear headphones. Still I think it is important to consider.
- Has a custom charging port instead of a standard USB type, so wire clutter is increased and replacements may be hard to acquire should it be lost or broken, especially in the future when this model is no longer available.
- The charging port has two metal contacts which can become coated with grime or sweat from heavy activity. This may make it charge slowly or not at all. Use a q-tip with rubbing alcohol to clean the metal contacts on both the charging cable (while not plugged in of course) and the headset to return it to normal operation. I would also imagine sweat could corrode the contacts, eventually making the headset no longer able to charge, so keeping clean is important.
