Here are some pointers for you who are thinking of purchasing this product:
Plus points:
- The headphones are very light.
- The range is very satisfying, I am walking around my house and office with them on and don't loose reception.
- They are very easy to use, there is no installation needed and the syncing is hussle free.
- They are very very cheap compared to other products of the sort on the market.
- They can be used with any device that takes normal plugin headphones (incl. Blackberries, Laptops, iMacs,TVs etc.)
- No battery needed!! Comes with a USB cable for charging. Can be charged either through your computer or a USB charger.
Minus points:
- Battery lasts about 5-6hrs, which is ok but not brilliant for long travelling / commuting. I find that I have to charge it during office hours at work if I want to keep on listening to music on my way home. And also, you have to make sure you have the headphones fully charged before you put on a film to watch. Just make sure you don't forget them on when you're not using them and you should be fine.
- They are not ideal for use while exercising. If you jump up and down while you have your device (mp3, iphone, etc.) in your pocket or bag, the connection between the device and the headphones gets either really bad or lost. And by bad I mean there is a really loud banging noise going straight into your ears which is not pleasant. So not for any rough use.
All in all, I think that if you are the average user, who doesn't have a brilliant ear for frequences, sound quality etc. these headphones are great. They are cheap and deliver. I use them all the time and I am very pleased with them. I can watch films as loud as I want, no matter the time, without waking up my flatmate or neighbours; same with music, pc games, etc.
I can't really take them to the gym, but for this price, who cares?
My sister loved them so much that she bought them off me and I had to buy a new pair; so if the question is "Would you buy them again?" the answer is clearly "Already did!".
Hope you find this helpful!
Best,
