If You're Thinking About Buying These, Take My Advice: BUY THEM!!
Let me begin by saying that I am BIG on SMALL headphones, ear buds in particular. I don't like wires getting in my way when I work out, so Bluetooth has been my thing for at least the past 8 years. In other words, if it Bluetooth and it has been made, I have probably tried them out or owned them. I have always wanted something that was tiny but packed a good sound. I just don't like having big headphones on when I am out and about. At home, sure, I'll use wired headphones. But, when I am working out, less is better. I see guys in the gym wearing their Bose headphones (wired and Bluetooth) looking like a member of the Mickey Mouse Club. You know what I'm talking about. Okay, if that's your thing, power to you. However, if you are looking for a very nicely compact set of ear buds, absolutely zero wires, very discreet and, yes, pretty cool looking, then the Rowkin ear buds are what you are looking for. Pairing for me was a snap. Took literally about 20 seconds. You control the volume from your device. Yes, that's a bit getting used to, but no biggie. The sound is great. No, there is no noise canceling and if you're expecting a superior sound, then you may be disappointed. However, the sound really is quite good for such a tiny product. I really like these ear buds and I can honestly say they are my favorite ones and yes, I will go out in public wearing them. PROS; Tiny. Sleek. Discreet. Great sound. Zero wires. ZERO. Solid feel. Sure, some plastic used, but the metal components are in there and you can feel the quality. Taking calls is a snap. Just tap the left bud and your call is connected. I've been told sound quality is good. There is one other similar product that costs over $150 more and cannot be used to accept calls. You know which one I am talking about. The one that goes "in" your "ear." Double tap and Siri is in your ear. Nice! I am a HEAVY sweater when I work out. These have taken on some sweat and still work great. Charging tube is great. It is so compact you can carry it around with you on the go. They really do look pretty cool. I could wear them working out or while I am in a meeting. Wears well with any occasion. That's a bonus. CONS Occasionally will drop sound on the right side. But, just move them a little in your ear (realign) and it comes back just fine. Really, no biggie. I once had to un-pair to get them to turn on. That has happened only once in the three months that I have owned them. Once. That's it. Really. For me, no more cons. Look, I am just like you. I like Amazon because of the quality products, quality deliver, quality service. If these had not worked out for me, I would have returned them right away. But, I did not. I put them through the test for three months. I work out 5-6 days a week, 60-75 minutes. That's about 100 hours that I have used them already and they are going as strong as the day I received them. So, bottom line, if you are on the fence, buy them. Worse case: it's not a fit for you. Return them and you're good. However, if you don't at least try them, you'll never know what you could be missing. And trust me, after owning about 30 difference types of Bluetooth earphones, these are the ones I was waiting for.
