Needs better bass
on March 31, 2022
Posted by: Lauren M.
The sound quality is not great if you’re looking for any bass at all. It’s very trebley sounding. The battery life is so so. However it’s the open ear design that’s getting stars. I haven’t been able to find a better headphone that has open ears. If I could find one with bass and a better battery life I would be a happy customer.
I’ll never buy earbud headphones ever again. These are wonderful! I bought the mini size and they fit well! I use mine all the time! I take my daughter on lots of walks, on the road & at the park & it brings me so much comfort that I can hear what’s going on around me like a car coming behind us or people at the park but yet still hear my podcast through my headphones. The sound is perfect. I was skeptical at first about hearing everything around me and headphones but they are wonderful!
I was unsure I'd like these but wound up loving them immediately. I think they'll be very helpful as I transition away from working from home full time and being back in the office. I'm also impressed by the battery life; I listened to 8 hours of podcasts yesterday and it still had a 40% charge.
My only problem with these is that to use them with my laptop, I have to reset them, and then when I try to use them with my phone afterwards I have to reset them again. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong?
Sound is good but, when using in conjunction with Google Maps while driving, has a tendency to cut out the first word of the verbal driving instructions.
I bought the Aeropex version to use while teaching yoga virtually. They stay on well. Sound through them is good, although not great. Despite their claims, people near you can hear what you are listening to if you have the volume loudish. Unfortunately, the microphone is worse than my laptop and webcam's, so they are not useful for their intended purpose.
Bottom line; these are good for listening to music during sweaty workouts, but not for listening to music privately in quiet environments or for communication.

Over the years, I have bought at least 6 pairs of earphones and headphones for running. All of them failed due to discomfort or fear of falling out of my ears during my runs. This is the first product that has ever worked for me and I am SO EXCITED to finally run with music and confidence! A+++ for design and sound quality. Love these and highly recommend!
