Even though they are mini,

Even though they are mini, I wish they were a little smaller around the back. This way they would sit closer to my head and I could wear them while laying on the bench.
They were perfect simple to connect to other devices fit was perfect you don’t know there very light weight I have bought them before and would do so again
Decided to purchase the mini this time. Best decision! Love to listen to podcasts while hiking. Road noise interferes with sound but that’s what they’re designed to do. Don’t want to completely block out sounds around you for security purposes.
These are my favorites! I had several pair of BT earbuds that I wore at home, work & while working out or running and always hated that they completely blocked any outside noise. These sound pretty great, especially considering that they're not 'over the ear' models with much larger speakers.
I have worn them several times when I ended up (unplanned) in a noisy environment and they, obviously, aren't going to work in that situation. But that is what the sound blocking earbuds are for. They typically don't feel 'buzzy' although occasionally my phone's volume is all they way up when I start streaming music and they can get buzzy. But at normal volumes I haven't had any unpleasant buzzing.
I have yet to wear them long enough for them to go dead and have worn them numerous times for 4 to 6 hours when working outside at home.
They stay securely in place during 98% of activities and have only had issues when bench pressing or if I'm working in a tight space and have bumped them against something. And even when bench pressing they are still securely on my head, they just shift slightly forward. I can still hear fine and they drop back into place when I get up.
I would recommend these to anyone who wants to be aware of their surroundings! Being able to listen to music and still hear traffic approaching from behind me, a coworker talking or my boys talking to me while I'm working at home is SO much better than having to drop what I'm doing and pull one or both earbuds out to hear!
Volume won’t go high enough for much. Reception sounds muffled. Can only use for running, feeding horses, anything with a motor drowns the reception out. Doesn’t fit snugly like my air shokz did.
Fantastic headphones. I can take calls or listen to stories while walking my dog in the woods and remaining aware of my surroundings--bikers, approaching people and dogs, etc. I can listen while puttering in the house (open floor plan) without disturbing family members. The sound quality and volume are wonderful and the headphones hold a charge for a long time.
Shout out to customer service: There was a mix up with my recent order (heaphones #4 & 5 for gifts) and I reached a real person with ease. The matter was resolved and a new shipment was on its way THE NEXT DAY. Awesome.
