Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

2022 Update: So, this is the third pair I have bought of these headphones. I don't expect tech to last very long. Charging ports get loose; cats chew on cords, they get tossed on hard surfaces by accident, etc. Nothing lasts forever. The first pair lasted about a year, and one side died after it had an altercation with a tile floor. I wasn't surprised. I got another pair, which lasted almost two years before the charging port finally gave up. This doesn't surprise me either because my two-year-old flagship phone is doing the same thing - as tech gets old, it starts to fail. Anyway, when the 2nd pair failed, I immediately got these again. Could I go for something more expensive that might last a bit longer? Sure, but it's tech, and it's only a matter of time before it fails. The price on these is within my budget; they have excellent sound and do their job well. That's what matters. I ran across bone conduction technology while reading a novel. I was intrigued. I was a telephone operator many years ago and used to wear a Plantronics over the hear headset. It came with a set of "buds" made of very soft plastic that went in the ear canal. I wore a size 3; the largest was a size 10. I guess I have small ear canals. They were very comfortable. Then, small headphones came out that "fit" in your ear. They never fit in my ear correctly. They hurt. I have never liked over the head and with big phones over your ears on a hot day; no, thank you! So, bone conduction seemed like a winning technology. I ordered these to see. Set up was dead simple, and they were partially charged, so I could use them immediately. Wow! I love these so much I would marry them! The sound is exceptional. I like Classical music, and these really do justice to my favorite composers. There is a tiny bit of sound leakage if you have your music source at the highest volume and a person is sitting right next to you, but that's to be expected. In the same scenario, they vibrate if the volume is very high, but don't distort, which is just great. I wear glasses, and they fit perfectly. I took the dog for a walk and, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, even wore a facemask and glasses with these on. We enjoyed a brisk walk while I could hear music and what was happening around me. My phone rang, and it had no issues automatically switching to Bluetooth. The sound quality was great, and my caller could hear me just fine. Charging was simple and fast. The little light went from red to blue in about 15 minutes. I haven't had them long enough to find out how long the charge lasts, and I'll update that later. These are so comfortable, if I didn't hear the music, I would forget they were on.
