Bought these last month to replace other Bluetooth earphones that broke, great sound quality and stay in the ears without any problem, only issue is the size, they are quite large but not enough to detract from the quality, would definitely recommend these

I bought these headphones for commuting, cycling and gym training. These headphones sound good for being Bluetooth and are certainty durable. They can be a bit fiddly to put on at first but switching the ear adapters around and getting used to the odd weight distribution took care of that.

To much base very painful in ear hard to get use to

I spent a long time looking for wireless earphones. I had decided that earphones are more versatile than headphones, and so had read into many reviews of market leading earphones. I was lucky enough to be able to try on a pair of these, and I straight away knew these were the ones.

Looked ridiculous and sounded tinny☹️

Excellent buy, 4 stars simply because the clip behind came off; but the quality of sound is fantastic

Gym / running headphones are always tricky things. They can't have a single fit that will fit every ear on the planet. Fortunately, for me the fit is not bad. I have used it in the gym for a few months and they have survived my training sessions - no jogging but some lightweight exercises, yoga,...

Great headphones, lightweight and comfortable. Long battery life.

Sounds amazing but not that comfortable As i expected

Absolutely rubbish sound quality and not very comfortable - a complete waste of money. Also won't pair with my iPad. Really disappointed.
