20 Best Waterproof Bluetooth Headphones For Swimming (2023 Updated)

I tried multiple bone conduction headphones before I tried Openswim. All of them were a poor fit for me, and the sound was just “so-so” on the other brands. Their earphones fell off and/or moved around so much that the sound was mediocre (I have a small head).

I actually like the fact that there is NO bluetooth on the Openswim. Bluetooth doesn’t work under water, and after trying multiple other brands that did have bluetooth, it got pretty annoying having to switch modes.

Then, with the press of a wrong button one to many times, you had to start all over again to get back in mp3 mode! The button placement and configuration works very well. The buttons are easy to get to and well-spaced.

The Openswim does NOT fall off or move around and is very comfortable — even on my small head. I especially like that they can fit under a swim cap. And the sound — is nothing short of WOW—absolutely fantastic!! What a pleasure enjoying the great r tunes of your tunes while swimming laps! (And, the sound when wearing earplugs is even better! Loading songs onto the Openswim was very straightforward.

Plug the USB into your computer, open the drive with the OpenSwim, and drag and drop to copy your files from your computer to the Openswim folder. Took less that a few minutes, and I loaded at least 100 files for a first go around, and still have space to add more.

Great capacity! My only wish would have been to have a “mini” sized Openswim for those of us who are more petite-sized. But all, in all, a wonderful product!.

I purchased two pairs of the AfterShokz Xtrainer at the same time. I was impressed with the design, build quality, the sound, and the ease of use. That was a relief as AfterSholz were the third brand of swim headphone I had purchased over the last five years.

The first pair Xtrainers were used on a daily basis, 2 km open-water swim, calmish water, free-style. OK – so really-really happy wth them until. the gremlin struck. Atfter 3 months, the right-side conductor quit – no sound.

This pair were returned to Aftershokz and it must be said, their customer service were amazing. No wrangling at all – the headphones were replaced immediately. While waiting for the replacement pair to arrive, I started to use the second pair that I had purchased.

Really-really happy until you gueesed it. Again, aprox 3 months of daily 2km openwater swimming and the sound went. This time, the left conductor. These were also returned and immediately replaced. Aftershokz customer service were really great again.

It’s a pity, as I really needed these headphones to be durable. I probably should say that I never wore the headphones under a swim cap – whethet that would make a difference or not, I’m not sure. I should also say that both sets of headphones would regain sound if I fooled around moving the conductor titanium frame to different positions.

This gave me the impression of an internal loose electrical connection. It could be that the volume of my swimming was a bit much fot the headphones to cope with. For anyone doing a lighter swim load, I would say give them a shot many other reviwers seem to have had no problem whatsoever.

This may be an overstatement, but I seriously love these headphones! They are an answer to a prayer practically. I have always wanted to swim to music and these make that dream a reality. The sound from the headphones in the air is slightly diminished, but the sound is still great and perfect underwater.

The ear plug that were added to the kit were a nice touch. They are a supper comfortable fit, I can have them on my head for hours and not have them bother me. The transferring of music is also super easy, and the charge to use time is great (short charge for long use).

They are also very comfortable with a swim cap on, and still easy to access the buttons that control the music. It is also nice to not worry about a Bluetooth connection because it means I can literally take the headphones anywhere and listen to my songs without worrying about distance away from my phone and my data plan.

The only compliant I have is the shuffle mode on the headphones is not super great. I have 300+ songs downloaded (approx. 37 hours of music) and it is very common that I will hear the same song two or three times within a four hour period.

So that could be approved on. Otherwise, these are great headphones, I would hightly recommend them!.

I currently have the OpenRun 8th Gen (when it was still called the Aeropex AfterShockz prior to the name rebranding thus I have the old logo). Overall, I am very happy with this product. Just recently I saw that a 9th Generation OpenRun PRO was just released to kickoff the 2022 New Year.

In comparison, there’s only very slight differences between the OpenRun (8th Gen) versus OpenRun PRO (9th gen), of which I will note below. So if you’re currently considering on getting the PRO like I am, consider if the differences are worth it: • 8hr charge for the OpenRun versus a 10hr charge time for the OpenRun PRO.

Okay yeah. I dig it 🙂 Any extra usage time is always a plus for me especially on days when I’m too lazy to charge. • The OpenRun weighs 26g and the PRO weighs a little heavier at 29g but not a deal breaker for me.

• Different placement in terms of the charging port (which is neither a good or bad thing, just an observation). • The OpenRun PRO has faster charge time of 1-hour versus the 1. 5 hours for OpenRun 8th Gen (but honestly an additional 30 mins is not a big deal at all that would make me jump for joy and run out to get a PRO).

I usually unconsciously leave my headphones on the charger for longer than it should anyways since I sometimes forget about it while running errands and doing other things around the house. So this additional charge feature I didn’t care much about.

• OpenRun is ‘waterproof’ (IP 67), while the OpenRun PRO is only ‘water-resistant’ (IP 55), which confuses me. Honestly my biggest beef here, obviously. IP rating weathers dust and moisture, so they are durable enough to withstand rainy runs, sweaty rides, or other gritty conditions.

So like WHY would the new generation downgrade the IP rating??? This makes no absolute sense. Typically shouldn’t new generations in anything be more advanced and not a less/downgraded version of it’s former counterpart?! So I would really like to know why???? Definitely a major turn-off.

• The PRO version has two bass enhancers, unlike it’s former counterpart. I’m very excited to find that the new OpenRun Pro has incorporated the two bass enhancers. This is pretty much the ONLY reason why I would get the PRO because I’ve aways complained about how much I like my headphones except for the lack of bass and sound quality.

Hoping the more premium sound quality of the bass enhancers is as advertised and worth the penny for music listeners like myself. So that pretty much sums up the differences in a nutshell between the OpenRun and the OpenRun PRO in terms of features.

In comparison to everything else, all the other features are exactly the same between the OpenRun and the OpenRun PRO in terms of sensitivity, wireless range, microphone, bluetooth type, command controls, frequency response, compatibility, moisture detection, frequency, etc etc etc.

I haven’t bought the PRO yet given the pricetag so I’m going to wait until my birthday this Summer to get one, and again mainly for the bass enhancers and the extra 2-hours battery life, which for me are both very important to me so hoping when I do get it, that it won’t be a disappointment.

Another thing I want to mention in terms of its size is that I would like to see a “Mini” version of the PRO. Makes no sense to have a Mini for the standard OpenRun but not have it available for the OpenRun PRO.

The “Mini” is very popular especially amongst us ladies so I’m hoping to see if there’ll be one by Summer. Guess I’ll see what happens when the time comes!.

I write software that utilizes a lot of text to voice and use of the voice assistant. I’ve worn aftershockz bone conduction products for years. Buying new versions, losing them, finding them again means I have a pile of these headphones and they are perfect for what they are.

The Google assistant experience however is atrocious compared to the competition. The Sony linkbuds s and the pixel buds are currently the experience to emulate. When I want to speak to the assistant those just work every time.

With any of the Shockz products this is woefully not the case at all. The tone to start speaking is laggy, then the delay to enable the microphone cuts off the beginning of what was said more often than not.

It’s nearly useless. The new Bluetooth standards and apis are all there and the competition appears to utilize these all properly. The experience makes me feel like no one at Shockz actually uses the feature or is aware how poor it is compared to the competition.

This is even the case on your newest most top of the line product, which I bought believing this problem may have been fixed. Sadly I don’t use them much compared to the open run Mini’s that have a better fit.

I wrote this up because deep down I just want to have headphones always on me without compromise. If Shockz were to come to market with an assistant experience that isn’t outright frustrating I’d wear them for the rest of my life and buy every new version you release as the years go on.

The packaging of the NC2 earbuds is exceptional! Tozo provides 8 different size ear cushions, so you should have no problem finding your perfect fit. They also come with an 18 month warranty that you need to go online and activate.

This is a big plus and exceeds the typical 1 year warranty of the competition. Their customer service is very responsive via email and has answered my questions in a timely manner. These earbuds have amazing sound! The bass is deep with great mids and decent highs.

The volume is quite loud with very little if any distortion. The ANC mode blows away the previous versions! The ambient mode is Incredible!!! With these I can wear both and just turn on ambient. I can enjoy full stereo sound and talk with my coworkers at the same time! Calls are clear, and people cannot even tell that I am speaking over the earbuds.

Bluetooth 5. 2 functionality really increases the range and connection stability, and I can wear them everywhere in my apartment. The wireless charging is very convenient and beats connecting a charger using the USB-C cable.

The TOZO NC2 case is designed such that the earbuds are difficult to remove with ease using a couple of fingers. This is a design fault that Tozo engineers need to improve upon in the next generation of this model.

The NC2 earbuds are an excellent value and outperform the competition for earbuds at a much higher pricepoint. I would recommend these as a superior buy to anyone looking for a set of quality bluetooth earbuds.

Otium headphones are great quality for the price. I have owned several pairs of wireless headphones and have been impressed with the output and quality of these headphones. The battery life is great for the the charge time.

I go weeks without charging them and they still sound great up until they die. The quality of sound is the only negative aspect of the product. When this product is looked at alone they are great but when is comparison to other products the flaws become evident.

The sound at the lower levels is dim and unpronounced whereas with my other headphones they have sounded good and any volume input. The headphones also tend to be spotty when used at distances over 5 feet which is not terrible but it is annoying when you have long distances that need to be spanned.

Another complaint would be the quality of bass at high volumes. I Feel it delivers in lower settings but does not have quite as good of an output at higher volumes bass wise. As far as midrange and high range the sound is good throughout the sound spectrum.

Another picky detail is the ear clamp is sized for people with larger ears. I have smaller ears and the ear clamps aren’t capable of holding on to my ears during intense cardio workouts or running. When lifting however the rubber ear fashioning is enough to keep the whole ear bud in my ear and comfortable.

As far as aesthetics go I love the dark black color with the brims accented with a dull red. Delivery and packaging was great, the headphones come with a carry container and carabiner that are perfect for the product.

Overall the product is great when taking into account the price for $20-$40 you definitely get a great product. With a few minor tune ups i’m sure this product could compete with other headphones valued at twice the price.

Apon opening it looks like a great product, but the first few minutes with it were hard. The charging port was covered with the usual looking rubber cover thing, I was like all right lets charge this thing up.

This was part of the first problem, it didnt wanna open, after coubtless tries opening it i ended up getting the tip of a mechanical pencil and opened it from the side. Because of this flaw the rubber thing now is half open and sometimes pops off from one side leaving it there to dangle.

Then making the waterproof part a bit less realistic. It quickly charged, i was happy for that. But when I began using them I was instantly let down with the audio quality it sounded muffled like if you were to put a cloth over them and listen to the music like that.

They did fit in my ears very well though, so depending on what you look for in earbuds as in audio quality I would look for something a bit better. But as in style and it actually functioning i would accept these.

No previous experience with the product. I have trouble sleeping resulting from neck pain and like music while trying to sleep,. Until recently I have been using bulky headphones which caused a problem when using a cold pack on my neck.

“Hang-in” ear buds will not stay seated when I am prone but these stay in my ear the best of any, including my hearing aids. The pieces that circle the ear are soft and comfortable. I do not like the rectangle design.

Pairing to an iPhone is a snap and the three multifunction buttons, although very small, function as described. The charge port is ok but could be located more conveniently. As designed it is located next to the red wire connecting both ear buds making it difficult to seat the charge cord for fear of damaging the cord.

Sound quality is excellent. Instructional voice could be slightly louder. No information on endurance since I have had mine for about three weeks only. This device solved a problem for me.

I bought the new apple AirPods Pro a couple months ago and then these Treblabs for a second pair. I am being completely honest when I say these Treblab 5s sound just as good as the 250$ alternatives IPods! I have also owned the Treblab 2s also.

For the price, the sound is amazing!!! I would pay way more for the same quality. Treblab is LEGIT folks!!! Seriously!!!.

Once the ear tips that come with the X3 Pros are replaced (I buy ear tips from Comply) , they are the best sounding earbuds I have ever owned. The hooks ensure that the earbuds stay on my ears during my workouts.

I use them daily for an average of 1.

Love them! They fit and feel right. I don’t have to worry about them falling out, and getting damaged. And they last longer. Thank You so much!

I really wanted to like these but am disappointed. First the good: Build feels and looks quite good, not great but good. Button interface is great, and fit around ear is great too. These things don’t fall out of your ear when running or working out.

Bluetooth connection is solid and pairing no problem. Battery life is good – about 5 hours. It comes with a nice case, long and short USB leads (nice touch) and a 2. 1A dual port USB car adapter – nice.

The Bad: the sound. There’s nothing even remotely audiophile about these. They sound dull and muffled, making the bass feel heavy. They have good bass, except even at medium volume the drivers overload – it’s like they need damping.

The combination of under-damped bass, weak mid and poor highs just doesn’t sound good. These are headphones after all, so poor sound = bad rating. I cannot recommend these Sensos unless you really don’t care about sound quality.

There are much better sounding bluetooth options. As an example, the audio on the TaoTronics 4. 1s is excellent, good build quality, downside is battery life is only 2. 5 hours, and they don’t stay in the ear quite as well.

But those still get 5 stars.

For the price, it’s a great product. Looong Bluetooth range. I went about 40ft without disruption, seems like it might go further. It does have a lot of treble so if you’re looking for bass or you’re an audiophile probably not for u.

I just needed something light, wireless, and inexpensive. This product delivers on my needs and doesn’t irritate while on for long periods of time. I run/jog with these on and barely feel them on my ears and they stay completely dry no matter how long I’m running in the hot sun.

I would definitely buy again.

This product has great build quality, offers really good sound (better than most headsets in this price tag), it is quite comfortable, won’t come off that easily, and comes with a lot of additional stuff (like earbuds, wire tie, durable carrying case, different chargers, etc.

). It is quite easy to connect to the phone, just hold the main button for couple of seconds and it will pair with your phone. Overall, highly positive experience.

First off, I’d like to note that I find the sound quality of these headphones very good. I’m not an audiophile but I think that all the customization features present within the app coupled with the ANC and transparency modes should leave the average user very happy and satisfied.

Yes, the ANC is not on the level of some other headphones that I’ve used but it’s definitely more than passable in every day situations, granted I haven’t tested it in the ideal environment to test ANC – on an airplane.

In terms of fit and comfort, I think these past muster as well. They came with the medium ‘wings’ already installed, but no gel tips installed. I went ahead and tried the smallest size gel tips (size 0 according to their scale) because those are the size that generally work best for my ears amongst all brands.

So, with the small gel tips and medium wings, I find these very comfortable and very stable. The wings are very soft and don’t bother the cartilaginous portions of my ears at all. Additionally, I’ve tried shaking my head and jumping up and down to try and dislodge these, but they don’t come loose.

I don’t even get the urge to try and push them back into my ears like I do with some other earbuds. So, I think Anker/Soundcore nailed it in these departments. So, then why only 4 stars? Well, I feel there are design and/or engineering issues that I just don’t understand how these issues could end up in the final, shipping product.

The case – I love that the method of opening the case is the slide back lid that Anker/Soundcore have used previously. However, I don’t love how slippery the case is. It’s a plastic, matte finish that just slides through your fingers.

I don’t know if this is to give the case a more ‘premium’ feel as compared to a possible future ‘sports’ version that may have a more rubbery case, but they should put function over form, not the other way around.

Next, the inside of the case is shiny molded plastic. The problem is that the shininess of the plastic makes it very difficult to tell in which direction to place the buds back in. Yes, you can see the charging leads as well as a little red ‘R’ to guide you, but even with those ‘hints’ I find it very difficult to figure out which way the buds are supposed to fit back in the case.

Now, taking the buds out of the case. Again, they seemed to have made this more difficult than it needed to be. The buds don’t have a good point of contact to grab onto, so they are very difficult to pull out of the case.

And, once I do finally pull them out, I end up dropping either one or both just trying to fiddle with them to get them in the correct orientation prior to putting them in my ears. That’s next – putting them in your ears.

I have a feeling Anker/Soundcore must have realized that these are confusing to get oriented correctly to put in your ears because they included a 4 or 5 step diagram the second you open the package trying to explain to you how they are supposed to not only fit into your ears, but how you’re supposed to hold them prior to putting them in your ears.

This should have been a red flag to either engineering or marketing that the design is confusing. Moreover, I think the diagram is incorrect! The way they want you to hold the buds prior to putting them in your ears doesn’t make sense – the picture shows that you have to hold them with the gel tips facing ‘up;’ however, it’s literally impossible to put them in your ears this way.

So, I actually think that’s a mistake in the quick start guide. Regardless, the good news is that once you do finally get them out of the case, oriented correctly in your hands and then into your ears, the sound is great and the fit is comfortable and secure.

Once you’re done listening though, good luck getting them back into the case in less than 10 seconds and with less than 2 slips out of your hands and less than 2 twirls of the buds to finally get them in the right orientation to snap into the case.

Trelab Headphones Review They’re everything that they promise to be. As a previous owner of these, I can say that you get what you pay for. I have only had two other pairs of Bluetooth headphones which include the Apple Air pods and a less expensive wired Bluetooth set.

These are great for the gym, work and much more. Other than the design and age of these, I think they are excellent and don’t fail to deliver. My set worked well up until the day that one of the ear pieces stopped working.

Overall, I would give them a 3. 8 out of 5 for these reasons. These are the following criteria I considered when rating their performance: Sound: The sound of the headphones is outstanding. It’s crisp, powerful and allows you to block out your environment.

I think the noise cancelling feature they provide is nice, but it also depends where you are and what you are doing. Range: These did have a long signal range, but it is heavily dependent on where you are.

If you are in an open space, then it probably will work better. Sometimes if you are in your own home going in and out of rooms the connection is known to be problematic. Bundle: The set comes with many little pieces that allow you to adjust your headphones to your own personalized fit.

I feel like I only used a couple of these other pieces several times. It is convenient in case you misplace or lose them. Fit: The fit I found was comfortable for the most part, but I would rate it 7 out of 10 after I have tried some other competing Bluetooth headphones.

I think at the time I got them that style was really in and not as outdated. I think they fit nicely in the ear, but they are a little bulky and not as convenient as other designs on the market. Microphone: The microphone and Bluetooth capabilities allow you make calls and transfer between music and talking.

This is a nice feature if you are busy person and want to get more use out of your device. In conclusion, my headphones lasted for a while but sometimes they were a little difficult if I were squatting or doing a specific kind of exercise.

I would have to constantly adjust them. I want to reiterate that these headphones are a great bang for their buck if you don’t mind a wired design and overall good performance.

This is the third pair of headphones from Treblab I’ve bought – needless to say I have been pleased with them in the past. I’ve had XR100, XR500, and am now enjoying these XR800s. Contrary to other reviewers opinions, I’ve been completely satisfied with the battery life – they actually do give me 8-9 hours on a full charge.

The sound quality is very good (IMO XR500s were a little better). And I find these to be a little more comfortable than the past ones. If you think you won’t like wire-joined left and right, you probably won’t like ’em; but I was mainly looking for battery life and good sound (media and phone), and I think these are the tops – I’m used to and don’t notice the cord.

I bought these based on the reviews. Unfortunately my review is far different. First, the flap covering the charging port is connected in a way you can’t possibly open with your finger or fingernail.

If you want to charge these, prepare ahead of time and search for something sharp to jam in there to open it. Secondly, so much interference. I realize with Bluetooth there will be hiccups and stutters every now and then since it’s wireless and probably picking up other signals, but these things don’t stop.

Especially at the gym, non-stop interference. It’s like every song has 20 scratches in it. I have them paired up with a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, one of the best and most popular phones so these shouldn’t do the things they do.

Don’t get me wrong, the part that is clear sounds pretty good. Good highs and lows and mids, great clarity, if you don’t mind listening to a record skip constantly. Overall, pretty disappointed. Glad I didn’t pay the made up MSRP price of a hundred dollars or whatever crazy number it says.

So I’m out 30 bucks.

Tozo again, makes another awesome product. Tozo makes many different earbuds from low to high end price range. Depending on your budget constraints, they should have the earbuds with the features you want at a good price.

My family owns many Tozo earbud products after my recommendations. We own the A, T, and the NC series of earbuds depending on what they want to spend. I personally own a few of their products depending on my needs and where I am.

The quality of the product seems to be solid, and of course the important part, the sound itself sounds great! The units owned by my family have lasted way over a year and are still working! I’ve purchased other comparatively non-Tozo earbuds for the same price range as the T10, the quality of products and sound was not as good as Tozo.

Some only lasted a little more than a year (just past the warranty date). My Tozo’s have lasted more than 2 years. One tip is to make sure you choose the right ear tip to make sure you enjoy the feeling in your ear, and to reduce the surrounding sounds, and to enjoy the treble and base coming from the earbuds.

I’ve been able e-mail Tozo support a few times to ask some questions, and they have been very helpful and responsive. Here is some more information about the product that might not be on the item’s Walmart’s web page.

For the price you CANNOT BEAT this I would say. I have been producing music for around 20 years so I am very picky about sound etc. I would not use these for mixing / mastering / making beats, dropping vocals etc.

but of course not. These are made for recreational use and are PERFECT FOR THAT!!!! They don’t claim to be studio monitors. but they come AMAZINGLY close *for the price and being being ear buds. * I listen to music recreationally many hours a day on many days.

these headphones are so ideal for this!!! I have a friend who got them based on my recomendation and he is equally impressed–he even uses them in the shower and says they are perfect for that too (I haven’t dared try myself though lol).

10/10 great product and great company / customer service!!!Oh and I’ve been using them over a year now. I waited to rate because it seemed to good to be true. but they have also stood the test of time overall.

Im usually not compelled to ever write reviews on products, but Ive got to say, these headphones are awesome. The quality goes beyond even the $50 LG Bluetooth headphones. There is plenty of base, the recharge isnt to long and it doesnt loose connection during the day.

I work around my studio and I can leave my phone at my desk charging ( Im talking 30 feet away). Where as, I would get choppy feedback from other products just by being ONLY 20 feet away. These headphones also never fall out of my ears when Im working out and combats sweat pretty well! I have already recommended these headphones to my employer, who definitely thanks me for the recommendation! Quit your searching/shopping and take these for a spin!.

The headphones are well designed except for the over the ear clips. The clips are made of limp structure less rubber that have no value in holding the ear pieces in place. The hole purpose of getting these headphones with this design is to keep the ear piece in place during physical activity.

With just walking, the ear piece is loose in 10 – 15 minutes. In a more active situation the time in place would be less. When lose, the clips do almost nothing to keep the ear piece in place or even on the ear.

The design should have been with malleable rubber clips with a wire structure that can be adjusted and formed to conform to the ear to hold it comfortably in place. Were it not for this gross miscalculation in design, it would have rated a 5 star.

It is rated a poor value because of the functionality and not because of the cost. Because the design renders this useless for its intended purpose, i. e. , exercise it gets a low rating.

These headphones are very easy to set up. I troed them with Youtube and was amazed st the sound quality. One of the great features is if you want to play a video in your playlist while listening you can push the forward and back buttons on them and it takes you there.

Louder and clearer than I thought they would be. Earpiece that wraps around is bigger than I thought. I havent tried them with excercise yet to know if they will fall off. But Otherwise the earbuds are comfortable and seem good for sweat repellant.

They are great for the price. I will buy as gifts for xmas.

I looked everywhere for this older version of the PlantronicsBackBeat Fit. The new ones (after 2018, I think) are of real inferior quality to these older ones. In the older model the soundquality is excellent, there is no white noise/buzzing, and the menu-voice is crystal clear.

I am so disappointed that Plantronics obviously didn’t keep up their high standards. This older model, on the other hand, is excellent, and my previous pair lasted from February 2016 to February 2021; that’s five years.

They went with me to Indonesia and Mongolia and I exercised almost daily with them. And the only thing that actually broke on them was the plastic cover over the buttons. So I haven’t thrown away my old pair, in case they never make something as good as this again.

In the meantime, I’m thrilled to have found this brand new, older model. About the headphones: I don’t like seperated earbuds, which is why I prefer this type connected by cable. I also feel like they sit much better.

I have NO clue why anyone would buy for example AirPods. I do power yoga, which means my head is often upside down, and these stay put 100% of the time. They’re so comfortable too. Absolutely love them 🙂 Cons: Some with small heads (like me, size 54-56 cm) may feel like the cable is a bit long, but it’s a one size, so.

The older design was brilliant, I used them every day for about 3 years before my bag killed the headset. The second set lasted another 2 years before one of the earphones stopped working. I love this headset for running or listening music when working so I purchased my 3rd set.

Sadly by this point the company had changed to Poly & the design or manufacturing also sees to have completely changed & the quality along with it, the first new set I purchased didn’t work at all & had to be exchanged (Poly were great with the return and exchange).

My issues with the new design are: – The sound controls have switched sides from left to right. This seems really strange & isn’t in line with the BackBeat Pro headset I also have. – The push controls are not responsive.

Trying to turn the headset off can be tedious at times. – The little grip for indicating where the controls are is gone. – And my biggest issue which means I don’t even use the headset is that if I move any faster than a walking pace the right earpiece pops off.

This makes the headset useless for running. In the end my older headset started working again & that is what I still use. Its still going strong with daily use after 4 years. It would be brilliant to bring back that design & manufacturer.

Great high and mid range. Easy to wear except soft insert comes out of my ear easily. Controls a bit clunky. Im OK w 5 he battery life (if so – havent used that long yet). Charging not always clear. Cant use phone with road noise (but see below).

On the plus, its WP, compact, almost unnoticeable to me, simple pause and on off. Wish still made new. Made to allow u to hear your surroundings versus noise cancelling – perfect for safe biking!.

The Ipx7 are just worse than the Ip7 earbuds in every way. The chord goes underneath the earbuds instead of around the ear loop so it hits your cheeks. The battery seems half as long even though they both state 10 hours.

The controls are slow and sometimes don’t work. The “low battery” message starts at 20% instead of the 10% of the Ip7 and is much more frequent. The price is also similar, if not a bit more expensive than the Ip7 model.

The EcoSurvivor earbuds were quickly paired with my Samsung Note 8. I fully charged them with the included usb cable prior to use. Cable length is really short but since it’s standard android cable you can use any quality usb cable.

A selection of different ear pieces or sizes are included for proper fit. I had a good fit straight from the box. Easily adjust sound volume from your device. Answer calls with 1 click of the ear piece.

I had excellent sound with both earbuds in place but lost sound volume when removing 1 earbud. Music was crisp and clear. Bass was full and trebles were mixed well for overall good sound quality. Battery life was excellent.

Used for 7 hours with no recharge or loss of sound quality. Ear pieces are flexible and wrap behind the ear for a secure fit. Keeps them in place for active use such as jogging or working out. I had mild discomfort in 1 ear after a prolonged use most likely due to not being used to the larger sized earbud I used.

The earbuds are connected with a super lightweight flat cord. I placed behind my neck and it did not bother me. Overall nice quality set.

We purchased 2 of these earbuds sets and really like the way they work. The sound is decent and they are comfortable to use. I like that I can use one or both earbuds depending on my needs. Just recently I started having charging issues with one set.

I was pretty certain they were still under warranty so I contacted support about the problem. Lance immediately sent me some troubleshooting instructions. That helped initially, but I had the same problem about a week later.

I contacted Lance again and he confirmed that the earbuds were still under warranty and he sent me out a new set. I was impressed with the quick responses and customer friendly service. Lance was very helpful and friendly to deal with.

I just recently purchased another set to give as a gift and am confident about these because I know they are a great product and there is exceptional customer service to stand behind them.

I purchased 2 earbuds less than a year ago but one set ended up having sound issues. The other earbuds still work perfectly. I contacted support and Lance immediately was able to help me first with troubleshooting but once confirmed it didn’t work, helped me with a replacement.

I am impressed with the quick response time as well as the professionalism and customer friendly service. Lance is exceptional and honestly makes me a committed customer. I will definitely purchase more of these for gifts knowing if anything happens, Lance and his team will give me an ease of mind in taking care of any issues.

I highly recommend these products based on the experience I have. For those with issues, definitely give them a chance to take care of it. They will help you.

I was looking for some inexpensive, yet good performing wireless earbuds. After researching reviews, I found the Boltune BH020. Reviews were positive regarding performance and quality. After a year of use, my ear buds were having some issues.

I contacted customer support where I worked with Lance. First we tried some troubleshooting, but ultimately I was sent a replacement. Based on price and performance I would recommend and even more for the service I received.

Was buying and sending back many Bluetooth headsets. I’m not a fan of the wire being tangled up at times (another, over-the-ear unit has a wound/coiled cable that, once figure out, is pretty good, but the talk time is like 30 minutes – period), but this little unit is very clear, easy to hear, doesn’t go deep into the ears like others, and the other end says my voice is clear and sharp.

Talk time is great. Had it on for 3 days, maybe an hour or 2 talk time, and still had about 70% remaining. 1 week of use, a little annoying to use, but can’t beat the quality and sound, easy and fast connect, etc.

These stay on, easy to turn on and off, easy to change volume, and stay on my ears even when exercising. I like the fact that when you turn them on or off, you hear, Power On or, Power Off, and when the Bluetooth connects, you hear, You are connected.

The charge lasts a reasonable amount of time, although Ive never measured exactly how long, but I can use them for at least 3 or 4 45-minute workouts.

I love these!! The range is awesome!!! I use these all over a split level house when my phone is on a different level than I am and the sound quality is still great!! The pairing is super easy and I use these with my phone and Chromebook alternately.

Taking a call is easy and people can hear me very well with these. Literally the BEST bluetooth headset I’ve ever had.

SoundBuds Curve are an excellent example of what I would like to see all wireless headphones like (to date I have owned 5 different brands). They are light, have great sound, excellent battery life, and are not as cumbersome as others that I have tried in the past.

Pros: I cant stress this enough, the battery life is excellent. I listen to media pretty regularly (3+ hours a day) and these are the first wireless headphones that have lasted more than 2 days. The design of these headphones is good, the ear cuffs (which I had never used on other headphones) are really comfortable.

Once they are on, I don’t even notice that they are still there. They also do not have a habit of falling out of my ears. The noise cancelling is very good. It is hard to tell if this is just a result of a very good fit in my ears or if the noise cancelling technology is that efficient, but any ambient noise seems to be filtered out when they are on.

Finally, the range of the bluetooth is amazing. I have left my phone in one room and walked to another without any interruption in audio (about 20 feet with a wall). Cons: There are only 2 problems that I have immediately noticed.

1. The buttons are a little stiff, but I expect that this is just because they are new. 2. After I charged these a few times, I thought I had heard a crack when unplugging the headphones. I looked but I did not see any noticeable damage.

If I had to guess, when unplugging the headphones, I may have separated the plastic shell, surrounding the charging port, slightly. Over all, this product is amazing, and I would be hard pressed to find a better pair of Bluetooth mobile headphones.

Bought them a couple weeks ago, they worked out well for a couple days. Had problems pairing after the first charge though. Then it was pretty smooth for a while, working well and sound was good. But the whole time I’ve had them, the little hatch you have to open up in order to expose the charging port has given me such problems.

Firstly, it’s easy to confuse which side you pull up on the charging hatch so you end up messing it up a little bit if you try too hard. Secondly, there’s not enough room for the charging cable to be flush with the port, the hatch gets in the way and sorta between the charger and the port, even when you move it out of the way.

And lastly, the little hatch thing I’ve been talking about is presumably attached to the wiring of the earbuds. The thing you have to fenagle with every time you need to charge these earbuds is actually connected to the wires that give you the sound.

And because of all these issues with the hatch, my earbuds are now broken and I’m out 30 bucks. If you’re gonna buy these, be gentle and make sure your hand dexterity is a tier above the rest, you’ll need it whenever you have to charge the earbuds.

Not recommending or buying from Anker again.

Everything is relative to the price. I’m sure there are better earbuds out there, but these, for the “reconditioned” (looked and worked as brand new) price, are outstanding. They paired quickly to my Android, and the now connect easily when activated.

Battery life is excellent – I often run them for 8 hours, albeit at fairly subdued volume. The controls are easy to understand and use. Charging is via micro USB, with good indication of charge status.

Bose is probably not worried about competition from these, but the sound quality and quantity is very good – a bit of bass boost seems to be built in, but not an offensive amount. Mids are a bit strained, but again, perfectly listenable.

As I said, relative to the price (super cheap), it’s really difficult to find fault with these, They come with a selection of tips to fit most ears, and the ear hooks make for a very secure fit – they stay right where they are placed on the head.

Can’t speak to their longevity since I’ve only owned them for a couple of weeks, but so far they’re perfect.

I own several sets of these for years, I use them for listening to podcasts and watching streaming TV. Once easily paired with a device, turning them on connects them and you’re good to go. At this price, I can leave one or two sets paired with a device and move around my house, garage or yard.

I purchased my first set 3 years ago , they get daily use, and I have not had a failure to date. I have never used them for phone calls, just media.

I got these earbuds as a replacement for my old over-the-ear, tethered bluetooth earphones. Given the low price, I was confident that these would be worth the price to try out something new and possibly better than what I had.

I’m overall satisfied with my purchase, though there are a few drawbacks. First, I love not having the cord tether between anything, the device or between the two sides. That is a major plus. The sound is usually good, and, when freshly placed, the fit is good too.

And the battery/charging are decent. I don’t have data to support it, but they hold a long charge. My ears might be funky, but I can’t get a solid, lasting fit in them with even with the variables of bud cover and fin.

They will stay in my ears 99. 5% of the time, but they tend to loosen a bit. Maybe this is the preferred fit? As the fin goes into the forward corner of my ear lobe, there’s no back-pointing fin to prevent this slipping.

My only other criticism is that these ear buds will only manually unpair from a device to be then paired with another. I can do the initial pairing so different devices will easily recognize them, but my prior MPOW products could pair to two devices at a time and would passively reconnect between devices.

It’s a small pain, only when switching devices,but a pain nonetheless.

Wanted a second pair of BT earbuds, first pair are boltune which are no longer available from a major online retailer due to reviewgate. Have another mpow Bluetooth device which has been great for the last 5+ years I’ve been using it, so thought I would try mdots.

The mdots are a snug fit for my ears so I can see how some people might not like them. Sound is pretty good, bass is a little heavy when casually listening, it might be ok if contending with background noise or if exercising.

Otherwise, sound is fairly well balanced and you can pick out instruments in the mix. Vocals sound forward and clear. Treble is bright but not shrill, and sibilance is not a problem. They charge with micro USB port so no unusual cables needed.

I have the MPow M12, I bought the dots cause I thought I lost my twelves, found them after I ordered the Mdots. Now the M12s are a terrific sounding earbud, so I was expecting similar from the Mdots.

I was deeply disappointed to discover they were nowhere close! The volume was too low for outdoor use, there was no presence in the sound. They sounded like a set of off brand cheapies. I was tempted to just throw them in the trash can since they were virtually useless.

Live and learn. There is no comparison between the MDots and the M12s feature for feature and sound for sound. Dont buy these. They wont do you justice at all.

great at the price point. I use these with a tablet that has dolby atmos equalizer software and set on even or warm they sound excellent. Bass notes sound well rounded and natural, there is a little sibilance on extreme high notes.

Voices are very clear. Charge takes 2 hours and last about 4-5. fairly comfy if you don’t mind in ear and they stay put.

Its not perfect audio quality, but for the price it deserves every one of those 5 stars. They are great for when I go on my walks. Long battery life. Great bass. Its the second pair Ive bought.

Great value. These are actually my 2nd pair. The first pair finally started failing (the volume control ) after several years of hard use. Great while mowing and exercising.
