Bluetooth Headphones, Best Wireless Sports Earphones w/Mic IPX7 Waterproof HD Stereo Sweatproof Earbuds for Gym Running Workout 8 Hour Battery Noise Cancelling Headsets (Black Red)

I have had way too many sets of headphones. Mostly because my dog eats them if they are within reach. While I still have not found the perfect headset with these, they come pretty close.Durability and battery Life - Way too early to tell. I'll update this after a few months.Noise Canceling- Let’s get something straight - if you put your fingers in your ears, they will cancel noise. That's called passive noise canceling, or simply, blocking outside noise. True active noise canceling head phones are over the ear, and usually very expensive. These head phones do a pretty good job passively blocking outside noise by fitting very well to the ear and being angled correctly.Sound - Everyone has different tastes when it comes to what they like to hear. Some headphones have good or bad ranges from high to low. But it is the quality of the range that matters. For instance, I like to hear bass, and to me there is nothing worse than a tinny am radio sound. These definitely have bass, but it's a bit muddy. The good news is I was able to adjust the equalizer on my phone to clean it up, mostly. Overall all though, for the price, the sound quality is pretty darn good.Fit & Hold - They Fit and stay put! The best part of these headphones is they fit my ears perfectly. The part that goes around the ear has a wire going through it, unlike so many others. This allows you to mold the over ear wires exactly to you ear and they do not fall out. None of the last several sets I had do this, and it is an enormous benefit.Controls - The are typical up and down volume and a center button that is used for on, off, hold, answer, etc. I wish the volume buttons were reversed, but that's just being picky. They announce power on, power off and connected. Sadly, they do not announce battery life.Appearance – Meh. They are a bit big and boxy, but I don’t know how that‘s different from having white things hanging out of your ears for $200.00Overall - I am giving this 5 starts not because they are the best headphones. I am giving them 5 starts because they check off almost all of my boxes and the price it great. So, 5 stars for overall function and price.Note: I paid full price for these and I was not asked to review them. Also, if you like this review, please indicate so below. Thanks.

Cons:• Maybe the wire would be better positioned to come out of the over-the-ear-hooks from behind the ears and to the back of the neck. I want to have the wire behind my neck all the time, but then the headphones become pulled down and slightly out of my ears, and this also causes the ear hooks to be pulled forward to where they feel like they are ready to unhook, and sometimes they do. But I have no experience with models that have the wires coming out the back of the ear hooks, so maybe I would discover a problem with those as well. So I tend to wear the wire in front of my neck, and I have grown use to that, so it’s still good.• The ear hooks get stuck in my hair, but I can live with that, because I really like having the hooks over my ears for exercising. And they’re good for when you’re sedentary as well.• I haven’t memorized all of the functions of the multi function button yet, but I’m trying.Pros:• The sound quality is great!• I like having the flat wire and the ear hooks so that I don’t loose them while exercising.• The wire tie helps keep the wires straight. I’m now ok with wearing the wire in front of my neck so that below the wire tie there is a one inch tear-drop loop at the bottom, which seems to makes it look a bit like a black necklace with a pendant/loop. Perhaps there is a market potential here, to make the wire be more beautiful like a necklace.• I like having both headphones in at the same time, and that I can hear through when someone else is speaking. I suppose changing to larger ear tips would block more outside noise, and pushing them further into the ears gives deeper louder sound, but I’d rather be aware of outside noises.• I really appreciate the plus and minus button on top that allows for rewind/forward and volume adjustment.• The color black with a bit of red or black/grey is a great universal color on everyone, and that doesn’t attract so much attention to itself.•The silicon ear tips feel good, and the right size will help keep the ear buds in place.
