AOMAIS Bluetooth Wireless Headphones, Wireless Sports Neckband Earphones, Lightweight in Ear Earbuds, Waterproof IPX6, Fast Charge, 12 Hours Playtime, Secure Fit Magnetic Headset for Gym

I got these a week or so ago and have been testing them. Overall I am impressed by the good balance of price, quality, and sound.Pros: easy pairing, very fast re-pairing each time; comfortable neck strap; light weight; comfortable earpieces that block out external noise and stay in well; magnetic earbuds that connect so you can wear as a necklace, handy. Convenient volume/power/multiswitch on the right; good bluetooth range; incredible battery life.Cons: a little heavier than some other earbuds due to the dual cord batteries, so can slide around for very active use; sound is 4/5, good for a lot of music and podcasts but missing a little more low end.I also bought a pair of TaoTronics earbuds, those stay in ears slightly better and are lighter with the cord, and have better bass and overall sound, BUT they have nowhere near the battery life of these Aomais BT earbuds.Regarding the sound of these: I listened to rock, metal, classical, classic rock, pop, styles of music, Youtube, and several podcasts. They have good audio clarity and frequency range so the spoken audio is clear but not boomy or unnatural. With music, I think they need about 25% more bass output and/or low frequency reach. Some music was fine, other music with more bass would overload the speakers or distort a bit.To be clear, I DON’T like overly boomy bass sound, it gives you a headache. These for the next model could use slightly more bass output. Not tons. The TaoTronics model was better here. I usually use “rock” EQ on my iPhone, but for the TaoTronics I have to use “Electronic” to not have too much bass.For reference, I think the Apple earbuds have a very good sound, nice range and clarity, bass but not boomy ridiculous bass.These Aomais earbuds have dual pods on the wire that must be the batteries. One has a micro-USB port to charge. I charged them up when new, eventually the red light turned blue. What I next observed amazed me.They were 100% per my iPhone detail screen. I listened to some music for a couple hrs, then rechecked. Still 100%. I then listened to some Podcasts, etc, for another 30 min., later for another hr or 1.5 hr, and checked the battery: 100% still. Holy cow!It took me about 4-6 hours of use, albeit intermittent, to drop the batteries to 90%. Yes, you read that right, only a 10% drop. If I used the TaoTronics earbuds after 6 hrs. I’d be around 30-40%. The battery life so far is INCREDIBLE. The larger neck pods are likely why.I like having at least 2 pr. of BT earbuds because sometimes you want to use them, then you realize they are dead or nearly dead. This Aomais earbuds pair advertises 12 hrs. of power. Unless all of sudden it drops like a rock, I would guess they could last 18 or 24 hrs. Incredible. They must conserve power when off also, because they are still 90% today, and I used them another 2 hrs.I am a legitimate reviewer and bought these on Amazon. They are now basically my ‘go to’ earbuds for general use, walking, yardwork, etc. They pair super fast and have good sound. If the bass could be increased 20-25% then they would be perfect, great sound with incredible battery life, and much less expensive than Bose or Beats, etc.UPDATE: using them for a couple more weeks, I am liking the sound better now, bass can really depend on the CD. I am still AMAZED at the long, long battery life. Wow. Plus comfort and convenience. May need to buy a second pair.

Overall, there are a few things to really like, but the complete lack of durability make these essentially worthless. Here are the pros and cons, if you're interested in a more point-by-point review:PROS:-Sound quality is good for an in-ear bluetooth set-Battery life seems to be good-to-excellent- Style is as pictured (I find it ugly, but hey, everyone's got their taste).- Good for biking to work since they fit easily under helmet straps, good for more static gym workouts like a treadmill/ellipticalCONS:- Not very good for more dynamic workouts. If I'm shooting a basketball, doing pushups or free weights, etc, they'll flap all around and often fall off.- Durability!! This headphone set is a total piece of junk. I've had them for ~3 weeks, have used them gently, and they're already breaking: the right earbud's audio is crackling and increasingly fades out altogether. This is something I've seen before when wire connections in an earbud set are fragile/weak.Verdict: The durability issue is unacceptable in a headset that markets itself as a "sports neckband." That downside nullifies any of the other good qualities that you might find. Avoid! Save your money!

As other reviewers noted, there is a very fast charge time. I just received these yesterday and plugged them in. What's nice about charging these is that the micro-usb port is easily accessible on the side. I have another pair of wireless headphones where you have to pull up a tiny rubber covering which is annoying. I used these headphones right away to listen to Spotify, the sound quality was great, and also did a couple of calls. Again, good sound quality. Originally I wasn't a fan of the wire connecting the headphones as I had another pair like this which would shift when I moved my hair, but these have nice weights on the side which cuts down on any shifting hair might cause. Very happy with this purchase!

09/18/18 - **UPDATE**So after three months, my headphones have stopped charging. I sporadically use it, not on a daily basis, and have never gotten it near water so not sure what happened. I tried charging it last night for a full 24 hours. There were no indication lightened up to signal that it was charging. I charged another pair of headphones with the same charger and that was working fine so the charger was not an issue. So completely dead after 3 months. Contacted seller to see if there were trouble shooting options but did not receive an answer.I have an iphone that I paired with these headphones. I've been using it for about a week now and really like it. I have only had to charge it once and use it for my walk to/from work as well as to the gym. It's pretty easy to charge and connect to your phone, I've had no issues with connectivity. It has a good range, I actually left the headphones in my office and when my phone rang a floor below I had to disconnect to use my phone because the call was going through to the headphones.I love the magnetic clips with the earbuds so they are not dangling around my neck when not in my ears. It's very sturdy at the gym, I've used it while running and lifting which is great because I just prop my phone up and move around easily without having to bring my phone with me to each different machine or area. It fits nicely into my ears without falling out, I didn't need to change out the earbuds but they come with different sizes so you can adjust as needed. Overall a decent pair of bluetooth headphones that are sturdy and dependable, there was no disconnection while I was using them at all and for reasonable price.
