Kinivo BTH240 Bluetooth Headphones (Black, On-Ear, Wireless Music, Hands-Free Calling, Built-in Mic, Foldable, Memory Form Earpads, Travel Bag)

I was getting annoyed with my wired earbuds always catching in the gym, and I spent a long time researching what to get to replace them. I knew I wanted something wirless/bluetooth, but so many these days are so expensive. Saw a review of these by Matt Ogus (YouTube) and thought I'd give them a try - they are also at what looked like a very decent price. Pros: - Decent sound (I've never been like 'the quality of the sound could be better' (I'm no audiophile though)) - Bluetooth works well and the battery lasts for ages (they've never died on me - I recharge them after around 5/6 hours usege) - Compact down easily for gym bag - No wires to get caught (and their shape doesn't get in the way of any exercises you think it might e.g. benchpress) - Great value Cons: - People can probably hear what you're listening to if you're listing to it loud (but if you're using these for the gym, they are probably listing to their own music or the music on the gym speakers) I should probably give it four stars due to the outside-audio issue, but I use these so much and am so happy that I found them, that for me five stars is only fair.

I wanted cordless headphones but being conscious of price, opted for the Kinivo BTH240 Bluetooth headphones in white. The pros: - the headphones connect pretty easily to my iPhone - they are lightweight but stay securely on, even when I am running - the sound quality is decent. It's not amazing but over bluetooth, and considering I mostly listen to podcasts, it does an absolutely fine job - the battery lasts quite a while, and I use them constantly - I can leave my phone on charge and go about 4/5 metres away (or through 1 thin wall) and have no loss - basically so long as you are in the same room, or just outside the door of the room; it's fine The cons: - Noise cancellation is non-existent (Though I didn't expect any) so this means that when walking along a busy street, the traffic can drown out what I'm listening to. If you're at home, in the gym, on a quiet street; no problem, but if you are going to listen while commuting in heavy traffic, or some other loud environment, you will have to give up listening until you're in a quieter spot - Annoyingly, when listening on the headphones, and a call comes in, the call is sometimes routed to the phone, sometimes to the headphones, necessitating that I spend the first few seconds of every call checking if I can be heard, and fixing the source on the phone - As with probably a lot (or all?) bluetooth headphones, if I am watching a video on my phone, the lag between the image and the sound can be distracting Overall; I am very pleased with this product and I would certainly recommend it to anyone seeking a budget option for cordless earphones. If you have some more money to spend, and high quality audio is a priority for you, maybe look elsewhere but for the average user, these headphones certainly do the job.

I got these headphones after my old bluetooth ones broke, and I was a bit skeptical at first, mostly due to their design (usually headphones of this type tend to make my ears hurt and they leak sound everywhere) — but I was pleasantly surprised! Regarding sound-leakage, I have noticed some, but only when the volume is really high; and even then, the leakage is basically unnoticeable by anyone standing on more than arm's length distance. I personally hate headphones that leak out my music with a passion, so this fact alone would earn these ones five stars from me. As far as design goes, I found them really comfortable to wear. However, my head is apparently much smaller than I thought, because there's plenty of space between the headphones and the back of my neck, which makes it tricky (albeit not impossible) to listen to music while lying on my back (and as a writer who often finds her inspiration in staring at the ceiling with music in her ears, I do that a lot). I also have small ears, so the headphones basically cover them, which I find to be a good thing. The sound of the buttons took a bit of getting used to, because it felt really loud and plastic-y at first. I've had it for a few weeks now, though, and I don't even notice it anymore. The overall design is nice too, although they feel pretty fragile — they might not be the thing for you if you're prone to throwing your headphones on your desk/bed or dropping them (although my roommate did drop mine once, and nothing happened to them). All in all, very good headphones with very good sound, so far of more than good quality (especially considering their price). A bit tricky design for people with smaller heads/thinner necks, but not deal-breakingly so. The battery is great too; I use them basically every day, on my way to work, during work and after work, and the battery feels like it can hold for way more than 8-10 expected hours.

I really hate to give this product a 1-star review, but I feel it would be dishonest to do otherwise. I used the previous Kinivo BTH220 over 2 years straight, every day, without a hitch until the battery died out on me. I was going to buy a new pair, but it was discontinued and so I ordered this model. Big mistake. The single biggest issue I have with this headphone is the following behavior: once I turn the headphones on and they connect with my phone, there is no sound coming from videos or music. When I go to the bluetooth settings, the connection displays the "No media"-sign. Then I have to disconnect and re-connect, and hopefully it starts working again. This happens almost every single time I connect the headphones. It drives me nuts. Since day one I've had a whole host of connectivity issues: doesn't always pair on the first try, can't keep a steady signal when I have the phone in my front pocket and turn my head, doesn't play audio ("No media") and the list goes on. At first I thought the issue was with my phone, but after trying it out on three different ones, I've ruled that out. I contacted the seller "BlueRigger" who told me to reset the headphones. I reset them and they worked better for about a month, after which the headphones started to act out in the same way as before. I received a replacement headset, which again worked fine for a few weeks but then started to have similar connectivity issues. I have no problems with other bluetooth audio devices. I'm saddened by the quality of this product because I REALLY want to like it. In all other ways it's superior to the old 220-model: audio quality is much better, it looks more stylish, the blue LED is less bright, revised USB charger port. I have to give props to BlueRigger for their customer service: fast response and fast delivery after my second email.

I've used two pairs since 2016 which at the time cost 19.99. Loved the quality. Both pairs lasted about 2-3 years. Cheap price, nice sounding audio/bass and loved the fit. Doesn't completely cover the ear so it wouldn't feel suffocated or hot after hours of use. Didn't have any issues with connectivity as per other reviews. Good for range of 5m - never any issues when phone was in my pocket. At times wouldn't connect to phone but a simple on/off or manual connection would fix. This newest purchase however falls short of my expectations, I'm rather disappointed. Perhaps because I got used to using a gifted AKG N60 or maybe the quality just isnt the same. The audio quality is very clearly inferior. I use them as backup pair - not for music or movies. Maybe during sports or youtube. Won't be buying another pair in future. Obviously doesn't have noise cancelling due to fit design but for the price of 27+ I'm sure there are better options

Comfortable and compact

Great set of headphones from the quality of sound to stable voice when talking in a call. It's early days yet, but the battery life is awesome. I would have given it a five star, but it appears to have an issue with the BT connection when reconnecting on your next use. In my case I have to turn BT off and back on on my phone for it to connect. A simple fix, but annoying. Apart from that good value for the money

Bought these in January 2015 it's now September 2017 and they are still working great and holding a good charge. They get used every day on the commute and in the office without any issues. I've synced them with pretty much every model of phone tablet (iOS and Android). I've also synced them with macOS, Linux (multiple flavours) and Windows without issue. The *only* things that are showing their age are: 1. The fake "leather" cover is peeling slightly exposing the fabric underneath, however the foam underneath isn't exposed due to the fabric layer. It hasn't made any difference to the usage at all. This also only started happening 2+ years after purchase so I would I don't mark it down on build quality. 2. One earphone has a slight rattle like something is sliding around a little when I'm running. This happened recently when I dropped them from a height one to many times. However given this took well over 2 years to happen and the audio is perfect apart from when I running it's more my fault for dropping them 100's of times over the years. These negatives are more meant to be positives that you can really hammer these headphones every day for years and they keep working. If you want some solid great value for money headphones on a budget I can't rate them higher. I've owned £100 headphones that have lasted less than a fifth of the time.

I love them! I have a smaller head and I was worried that they wouldn't fit but they fit perfectly. I also wear a pony tail while I run so it keeps it still as well. I LOVE that you can change the volume and songs with a quick touch of a button instead of fiddling around with my phone. The battery lasts an impressive amount of time before it dies. I would recommend for runners like me who can't stand having something in their ears. If I could change anything I would make them a little smaller for anyone who has a small (or smaller) head. But I'm very happy with this product. Good quality with a great price.

This is the best headphone I ever had in my whole life. Seriously. It's so much better than all the overpriced ones I got and it's so durable! I got this almost one year ago, I leave it in my backpack and I'm not careful at all with it. But it still works perfectly. The batterie is almost infinite, lol. I use it at least one hour a day and I just charge it like twice a month. The sound is not the most perfect thing ever, but since I use it for running and working out there's no need of a perfectly balanced sound. And it's not super loud, but it's not a big deal. The only con I would say is the funny shape it has, and it's gonna make you look like a funny alien. But for a good headphone like this one, it's okay if you look like an alien. (

This is a gem of a product. The Audio quality is descent but i did not buy this for Audio quality. It has a remarkable battery life , i use it average 1~2 hrs or sometimes just for few minutes and i charged the battery after almost a month. I am not kidding here at all. that five stars if just for the amazing battery life i am sold :) :) PROS Insane Battery life Next best thing is its great as a gym headphones its a solid fit no matter what exercises you are performing. Call quality is good and the person at the other end could hear me clearly I can have it on my ears for long time and did not experience any fatigue BT connectivity is solid did not face any sort of disconnections at all [If i go out of range and come back in range it will auto-connect seamlessly] CONS Well descent audio quality but it does the job great i enjoy mobile gaming, some youtube videos and tv serials This is not a audiophile quality but rather fits my usecase perfectly :) Thanks for such an amazing product. Will share a long term review later for sure. PS : I also have a BOSE AE2W but i am using this daily this for its great battery life ;)

This headset is excellent － hold charge long，very easy to put on and comfortable to wear。 Use it 3 times a week in the gym for running on the treadmill and doing intensive streaching。 I‘ve owned it in black and blue， but just love the different colors available on this item， so grabbed Arctic White and Hot Red as they are on sale this Xmas。Keep them for myself or make nice gifts for anyone。

le mie prime cuffie bluetooth, mi servivano per il cellulare e il pc e visto il prezzo ho voluto provare. non ho avuto nessun problema ad accoppiarle con tablet e telefono android mentre qualche problema in più c'è stato per il pc ma devo dire che il manualetto allegato, in inglese , mi è stato d'aiuto (ho dovuto installare i driver della scheda bluetooth del mio portatile). per il resto sono piccole, leggere, robuste nonstante le parti mobili e l'audio è buono, più che sufficiente come potenza e fedele considerando che sono bluetooth. non benissimo la distanza, ma quello dipende anche dal segnale dei device, ma comunque almeno 3-4 metri. comode da portare, anche con gli occhiali, si appoggiano all'orecchio e poi se sei in giro le poggi intorno al collo o le richiudi e le metti in tasca(nelle immagini non si capisce, ma non sono enormi, coprono appena il diametro dell'orecchio). elegante custodia e cavetto miniusb-usb per ricaricare di buona fattura. buona autonomia di ricarica. veloce e semplice accoppiamento all'accensione. comodi e funzionali i comandi, non ho avuto problemi anche a usarle come auricolari e microfono per il telefono. consegna con prime molto rapida. consigliatissime .chiaramente come contro c'è il dover ogni volta aspettare che i dispositivi si accoppino (un'operazione di 30 secondi) e il consumo di batteria maggiore soprattutto per i device mobili ma questo è uno svantaggio che hanno tutte le cuffie bluetooth. ripeto, consigliatissime.
