Anker is a reputable company, and I have yet to have a bad experience with any of their items! Anker is always making amazing items for a decent price! These are great for the type of person who wants good overall working bluetooth headphones that won't cost an arm and a leg! I use them for walking to my classes around campus and when I am working out occasionally. These are great for my daily uses. The battery lasts me through two to three days of use, they are pretty comfortable, and the sound quality is good for a pair of $40 bluetooth earbuds. My favorite thing about these are the way they sit on your head. Other earbuds I have used have been uncomfortable whether it was from pulling on my ears or having to constantly readjust them. These sit nice around the top of the ear and after about 2 minutes of wearing them I don't even feel them on me anymore. The strap around the back, while not looking amazing, makes it to where you can adjust the fit to any tightness you want. I say that they do not look as amazing as when you tighten the back section of these then look a little weird. I have a pretty large head and they still stick out a little in the back. It makes this hump like shape on the back of your head that I feel doesn't look to attractive, but from the front and sides these look fine! I am defintely okay with this compromise as they do fit amazingly well and are extremely comfortable. The rubber ear tips aren't too snug in one of my ears and I have tried all of the other ones in the package to no avail. However this is not a big deal as they still mostly fit fine, and most other earbuds have this same problem with me anyways. The sound is good. Just that, not amazing, not horrible, which is good for the price. Sound isolation is very good, and there is pretty good bass too! The rest of the sound signature is decent, its better than most other earbuds at this price but I am sure that if you payed $20-$40 dollars for a higher end pair of earbuds then the audiophiles would be satisfied. Overall on sound though, these are perfectly fine for me (just for reference, I have tried out a pair of Jaybirds Bluebuds X for one week). I cannot express how happy I am with the over the top of the ear design, this part is extremely comfortable and takes away all the weight of the earbuds, which are already pretty light. Here is one of my only big cons I found for these headphones, and yes I am probably being over critical but it is something which I have noticed. The battery life. Compared to many other earbuds in this price range these are still pretty good in terms of battery life. I have been spoiled with my prior earbuds (the Soundpeats QY7), as they had a battery life that would get me through an entire week. However their sound quality and comfort were nowhere near the quality of these headphones. I would say these earbuds give me around 8-10 hours of listening time at around 70% volume. As long as I remember to charge them every other day or once every 3 days then I am good, but each time I forget I am reminded by silence on one of my trips to class. However as I said, this is about par for the field at this price range and its not that serious of a problem. These are easy to pair, and once you get used to it the controls are perfect! --------------------------- Conclusion: Overall I would recommend these headphones to anyone who is interested. Every Anker product I have ever had has been amazing, especially their sound equipment. Great prices for great items and most of them with great warranties! They know how to keep their customers coming back and it works! I would recommend any Anker product to anyone and I am amazed by them every time I buy one of their products. Thank you Anker for producing these earbuds and I recommend these to anyone who is interested! Overall: 4/5

Anker's simple but substantial packaging means they arrived safe and sound. Charging and pairing was straight forward with included simple instructions. S-M-L buds make for a good fit and improved sound. Since they are only being used 1-2 hours per workout, battery life has not been an issue. Sound quality pretty solid for in-ear headphones.

Sounds good, connects easy and fast to my S7 via BT. Just don't like how it fits. Seems well made and the rubber wrap around wire seems strong for workouts. minus 1/2 start for the crappy fit. 4.5 stars total

Good for running. well made, stay secure, good sound quality. Well designed to stay out of your way while exercising. I have not used these for phone calls, so I am not sure how good the sound quality is for conversations.

A good set to workout with or bike with. I bought them for swimming. Not what I thought.

These are great if you're not using them in any type of noisy environment. Ocean waves while running on the beach can drown out whatever you're listening to. They are pretty comfortable and stay where they are supposed to during activities like mountain biking, kayaking, parasailing etc. I'm happy to have 2 pair (one in the vehicle to do things on the fly and one at home to work in the garage and not disturb anyone). I really like them.

These are great for working out. Don't have to worry about sweat or them failing out during cardio. Sounds quality is great to my standards. I only have 2 complaints which are really just design flaws. 1. the charging port cover gets in the way of the USB connector. It takes some effort to make sure the connector is fully inserted for charging. 2. The outside square piece that sits in your ear should be made a little less hard. Sometimes the corners press against my ears. Neither of these flaws will keep me from using them, as they are of great quality. I have used these for audible and music at the gym, both come across crisp and clear. I even answered the phone with them while at the gym, and the person i was talking with said I sounded "normal". Great product, will and have recommended to friends.

Bought 2 pairs, one for my husband and one for myself. A little quirky. My pair work great, connect without a problem. They just need to go a little louder.. When battery gets low they start to cut out. I have never used until completely dead. Once they start cutting in and out I recharge.. I can usually use 2-3 days at gym before I recharge... I love the fit. Fit well and don't come out when running... Big props for that... When laying on floor or bench they can sometimes get knocked lose from the extra material behind head/neck hitting floor or mat, but overall way better then any other wireless Bluetooth headphones... If they could go louder I would give 5 stars.. My husband's pair is way louder then mine.... Although he has connectivity issues and mine don't. Overall happy with purchase. My husband pair doesn't want to auto connect... He has to try multiple times to connect.. His cuts out more then mine but his are louder. We haven't figured out why his cut out so much. When on a fresh charge it seems to do it less.. but again I think it's a connectivity issue.. someone it will disconnect and he has to turn off Bluetooth on phone turn off headset.. turn back on Bluetooth then headset to get it to connect again. Like I mentioned above, just a little quirky... But we both love the fit and sound quality.. Thank you Anker for a great sounding product.. Just a few kinks to still work out but for the price this is a awesome product!

Bought these as headphones to use for the gym. The around the ear design seemed to get good reviews and the product quality is very good. I would say that the sound quality is good to better than good. The low response is solid but not ground shaking, and dependent on you selecting the correct earbud to seal the gap around the ear canal. That being said, it takes some getting used to with the pressure the buds put on the ear canal once you have them sealed. It took a little while to get used to, and sometimes it is a little fatiguing, but the trade off of having secure earphones for activity at an affordable price that get 6 hours of battery life for this price is worth it. My wife has the soundbuds slim and I think that they are fantastic and much more comfortable for less than these, but they are not as well suited for working out.
