These work great for multitasking at work and at home
I have been on a bit of search lately for some good wireless headphones- for both work and recreation. I work in an office half the week and at home the other half. When I am working I am connected to my PC/laptop and have Skype for Business installed to make and receive calls. Also, a good majority of my days are stuck in “spreadsheet land” where I am spending hours getting quotes prepared for our clients. Normally, I’ve used a single wireless single ear piece to use for Skype and was also using the same to listen to music and podcasts to help the time go by when in “spreadsheet land.” While, the single earpiece does the job it’s not quite as fulfilling to only have music coming through my left ear only. Also, a few months back I purchased over the ear wireless headphones to use for the music and podcast purpose. Albeit, they work great it can get a bit tiring switching headphones...especially when I have a call coming in. So, I wanted something that I can do for both...and it seems I have these that work really well. I paired these headphones with my laptop through its Bluetooth manager and it worked without a hitch. I am also able to have all the computer application sounds go through the headphones as well. When I use to make a call it automatically switches to a single piece where the microphone is and my calls have been great and everyone on the other end seem to hear me perfectly fine. Once the call is done I can go back to listening to Spotify, my podcasts or whatever I have pulled up playing on a website and it automatically switches back to dual earpieces. The sound is great for these small, in-ear pieces! One note of issue that I had, which is NOT a product problem, however, entirely a Windows 10 problem- Windows 10 makes Bluetooth sharing an absolute nightmare. When one application is using the ear pieces, it doesn’t want to automatically release it to do something else. For example, if I am on a call and hang up at the end and want to go back to listening to music, I have to play and stop whatever that other source is a few times before it starts playing. It’s a minor annoyance but again, this is Windows 10. I work an IT service provider and all of our engineers have stated this has been an ongoing issue with all Bluetooth and Microsoft will get a fix in place at some point.On a side note- I’ve used these earpieces with my iPhone 6s Plus and it works very well too. The range is great as I used these to make calls while I was spending the day going through files. Simple to pick up and end a call and the range is great. When I was done with my cell call my podcast that was playing before the call started back up where it left off. Made it very convenient to have both hands free to keep my calls going and to have my shows playing to help pass the time.The headphones come in a nice little charging case meaning that the headphones charge while docked, even if the case isn’t plugged in- as long as it has been charged, of course. Also comes with a few different sized ear cushions for comfort depend on the size you need.If you’re looking for something small, wireless and stereo for being able to communicate on the phone- all in one simple option- this will do the job well!

The fit of this product is great. The fit right into my ear and in ...
The fit of this product is great. The fit right into my ear and in a rush (I had to do a 5K the next day). Also the sound is crisp, full and captures the bottom of the music. While running I noticed how light they were which was great because I did not have to keep pushing them back into my ears. By the way, they paired once and that was it. Love it. One issue I definitely have is that while running the connection between buds was not consistent and that was a real bummer. I've had plenty of wireless buds and it's rare that you have sound, fit, weight and connectivity all working in the right direction so that being said I've settled here because of the 4 areas I'm concerned about they got 3 spot-on. Hopefully with the next release they nail connection.

The best thing out there? (Updated)
Let's face it, people. Bluetooth technology is not really there yet.I'm torn about this product. On one hand, these earbuds are sleek, cool-looking, minimalist & for the most part, comfortable (more on that in a sec). The little charging case is adorable and easy. Most important, it eliminates all the other BS of bluetooth headphones -- no over-ear plastic awkwardness, no heavy string thingy pulling the buds out of your ear, no stupid clip that gets lost. Especially for someone like myself -- I'm an avid, daily biker, runner, and weight lifter and I SWEAT -- these are pretty much the best thing you can get.But there are problems. The reviewers of this product who talk about the left bud popping in and out of connection are legit. My boyfriend and I bought the exact same pair at the exact same time. Mine were fine, but his suffered from connectivity issues. When I wrote a review about it, the sellers kindly sent him a second pair, no questions asked. But the new pair had the same issues. So maybe you have a 1 in 3 chance of getting a great pair of earbuds from this manufacturer? And, then, after one whole month of non-issues my earbuds also started malfunctioning *specifically* when I watch streaming video on my computer. The buds flicker in and out, go silent for a few seconds, and then flicker to life again with garbled, sped-up speech. It's not just distracting, it's impossible. They still work fine listening to music & podcasts on my cellphone, which is my primary use for them.A final issue with these guys, but not a deal-breaker, is that if worn more than about 1.5 hrs my right ear usually starts hurting. The seller encouraged me to try switching the size of the rubber rim on the right earbud. I put in a smaller size rim, which seemed to help, but the earbud now tends to slide out so I've returned to the original rim size, and am just dealing with the occasional discomfort. I don't think ears were really designed to have stuff stuck into them so my guess is that's the problem, and not that these earbuds are poorly designed. Maybe my right ear is just shaped like a banana instead of an ear.They remain the most comfortable and light-weight option I've tried.
