AresX Freedom 1.0 Wireless Bluetooth Sport Headphones (Black)

I use these primarily for Insanity Asylum workouts, so a lot of jumping around, weights, quick movements, etc. The reason I wanted wireless is because I have an iPod Nano on a wristband, and I use to run the cable to the headphones up the inside of my shirt to avoid getting tangled with weights and getting caught on my arms during jumping jacks. That was a nuisance as the cable would eventually get pulled down and cause strain on the headphones.I got these since they work perfectly with my 7th gen Nano, although you do have to reconnect them every time you turn them off. Not really a big deal. The sound, whilst not audiophile quality, is good enough to hear my workouts clearly, and get loud enough to be just a little uncomfortable. Though not a super tight fit, they don't let in too much outside noise, although those of you with smaller ear canals might have a little difficulty, they are slightly on the larger side. I recommend not using the little rubber attachments that they come with, they actually hurt my ears.I took off a point just for the fact that you have to reconnect them every time you turn it on, and because the band that runs behind the head, whilst not obtrusive, is at the beginning of a workout a little itchy. But once you get into your rhythm, you stop noticing it.Like I said, I use these during Insanity workouts, and they work perfectly for me, don't get in the way at all, and the battery life is great, can go a whole weeks worth of workouts before needing a recharge. Plus for the price, your not really going to find much better.

I bought these so I could work out on the treadmill without disturbing the whole household. They work great and I used the Taotronics Bluetooth dongle as the transmitter. Before in order to watch TV while power walking I had my TV up to 95 and I was still missing dialogue due to the ambient back ground noise from the treadmill and the fans etc. So in order to save the TV speaker this was the solution. I like the form factor as well with no wires and the plastic frame behind your neck so nothing is in your way. At the top of the unit with the ear bud in your right ear are the volume controls which are simple plus and minus buttons. Under the right ear is the pairing/answer function button. Well thought out in design and easy to get to if you are right handed.Range is pretty good and the clarity for my purposes as posted above is very good. No ground plug charger is included but it does comes with a USB cable so you can plug it into your TV to charge while it’s on or into your laptop or buy a simple AC powered USB which is what I plan on doing. Charging takes about 90 mins and lasts for a 5 hrs of sustained listening.

I bought these to listen to music, not for the telephone function, and I must say the sound quality is not amazing. It's OK, but cheap Sennheiser ear bud headphones provide equal or better sound. They stay in my ears snugly but don't fit very well, but I admit that I do have an unusually large head. Bluetooth connection to my smart phone worked easily and intuitively. The function buttons work well and they work intuitively to skip ahead to the next song, etc., although the feeling of the unit is very lightweight, which could be a good thing or could feel plasticky and cheap, depending on your reaction. This would be a great unit if you need to hear what's going on around you, because it doesn't seal your ear opening at all. It's not ideal for cycling, for example, because I don't want to hear the wind in addition to my music, but it would be perfect in an office or something where you had to hear other people yapping in addition to what's playing on the headphones.

These are well worth the money spent - the range is over 100 feet (unobstructed) and well over 50 feet before you start getting interference and sound starts cutting out (when obstructions exist between phone and bluetooth headset).I use these for weightlifting and the part that wraps around the back of your head is so lightweight and small you won't even know it's there - never a problem. Also, as thin as it is, it holds quite well. Been using this device 4-5 days per week for 1-2 hours per day for the last few months. Cannot speak to max battery life as I've never used it more than 3 hours without fully charging it.People also state they can hear me plain as day on cell phone calls and this is better than the built in speaker on my Galaxy S3 cell phone as well.

Update: Mine still work fine. I think if you are doing an average workout (1-2 hours), you would be fine. I wouldn't like them for all day listening. Posting some closer pics of the ear piece. They sit on the ear, but not totally in the ear. Nice if you don't like ear buds like me.------These are super lightweight! The sounds quality is good. It's not great sound, but I think the average user wouldn't notice anything wrong. They are not quite as comfortable as I would have liked. They feel a bit hard in my ears, even with the gel covers. However, I will say that I'm so much happier not having that cord to deal with now that I use these!

This only worked for 45 days and then will not turn on anymore, It was great while it lasted but for $50.00 not worth it! Don't waste your money and try a different brand.05/13/2014-Update!!! The customer service was great and they sent me a second pair that is why I moved it up to 2 stars. It has been 32 days after the new ones arrived and sure enough same thing happened again. They are junk! I run 4-5 miles 3 times a week and that is the only time I use them. The second pair would make a clicking noise while running also that the first ones didn't do. I always hold my IPhone in my hands while running and if I would put it in my left hand the sound would cut in and out. Other than working right they are quite comfy and fit very well. Wish they would last longer.
