RevJams Active Sport Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds with Noise Isolation and in line microphone - Black

These headphones are a great addition to my workout. It is nice not having wires hanging around pulling out my earbuds. The buds stay in my ear nicely and puts out great sounds. It is nice having the volume buttons accessable. If connected to your phone it needs to be in your right pocket or the transmission is weak and cuts out. The microphone leaves a lot to be desired. I am unable to have a conversation with them on. I spend more time trying to piece together the words. The person on the other end spends all their time saying "what?" Great for music bad for phone calls!

I have had these earbuds for 12 months. I used them everyday at work. As well as on hikes, mountain bike riding, etc... They have stopped working on me, so I have decided to write a review on them.ComfortThese earbuds come with 3 silicone inserts. The medium fit me perfectly. I was able to run without them falling out of my ears every second. The cord isn't annoying at all. I sometimes prefer the cord going underneath my chin rather than behind my neck, so that when I do move my neck the cord wouldn't be tugged by my skin. But, that's more personal preference. I have kept these on for hours at a time with no problem.Bluetooth ConnectivityThe description claims that you can be 33 feet away from your device. I would be 15 feet away from my device without obstructions and it starts to cut in and out. 25-30 feet it fully disconnects.DurabilityThe earbuds are pretty durable. They do come with a nice case to keep them in when you are not using them. I didn't throw them or drop them from a high ledge. They did after all stop working after 12 months of having them. The right side stopped working, while the left still works.Outside Noise IsolationThese are not at all noise cancelling. With both of them on, even at the highest volume, I can still hear outside noise. Since I use these while hiking and biking, I quite like that it is not completely noise cancelling because it allows for me to hear if people are passing by me.AppearanceI absolutely hate how these look. When they are in your ear, the buds stick out SO MUCH. Even hearing aids are more flush to the face. I had a hard time keeping them in my ears while putting a motorcycle helmet on my head because of how much they stuck out.BudgetAlthough pretty cheap, it might be a better investment to buy something that is known to be more durable. I had these for exactly 12 months and they have already broken. Just do the long term math. If you were to buy a new set of headphone every year for 3 years, you would pay for a new set of good bluetooth headphones. AND they'll likely look better.Listening ExperienceThe bass is almost non-existant. Even when playing with the settings on my phone. The sound is very clear and crisp.My experience with them is just, "OK". The listening experience is better on my $10 Sony Earbuds and my $40 UrbanEars Plattans. I only liked them because they were wireless. I took the plunge and just purchased a pair of JayBirds JayBird BlueBuds X Sport Bluetooth Headphones - Camo . Check me out in a few weeks. I may have a review for them.Purchased: July 17, 2015 fulfilled by Amazon LLC

Don't waste your money on these headphones. The bluetooth is horrible. My last pair of wireless headphones broke, so I figured I would "upgrade". I should have stuck with the cheaper pair I had before. These headphones are actually comfortable, and I like the fact that the controls are on the wire and not on the actual earpiece (makes it easier to access). However, the bottom line is that the bluetooth receiver on these sucks. If you hold your device in your hand or have it on an armband, it mostly works. However, if you put it on your waist (or in a fanny pack) or in the back pocket of cycling jersey, then reception is very spotty. It cuts out constantly to the point where it is useless. I have tried it with several different devices and always get the same result -- do yourself a favor, invest in a pair of headphones with better bluetooth - not theseUPDATE: based on the seller's advice, I cleared all the bluetooth pairings and repaired the device. That seemed to help the connection problem. However, the connection was still spotty at times and never reliable. Finally after about 6 weeks of near daily use, the usb connector on the device broke, so I can no longer charge the headphones. Of course the return window is now closed, so the headphones are in the trash along with the money I wasted on them -- what a piece of garbage!!!

I didn't expect to like these with the thing in the cable, but that thing is tiny and doesn't bother me at all. The ear buds fit well and the little crescent shaped things work to hold them securely in place even when exercising and moving around. Sound quality is good, although I have to admit that I am not an audiophile and listen mostly to spoken word podcasts. It took me a bit to figure out that the volume control built into the earphones is completely independent from the volume control on my phone -- both need to be turned up to make it loud, but either one will turn volume down. I turned the volume up on phone but it still wasn't very loud, and then I realized that I needed to adjust volume control on earphones. Having the microphone on the cord is good for phone calls even when there is background noise. I've never had any complaints that people can't hear me when I use these.

SEE UPDATE BELOWOriginal review:I use these almost everyday at the gym. So far they are holding up well. Sound quality is pretty good. The battery lasts a long time. I can't wear normal earbuds when I run because they always fall out. However, I can go for a long run with these and they stay in place perfectly.I noticed once when the battery got low there was some static coming through one of the earpieces. I only experienced this once, however.I haven't tried the microphone/phone feature.UPDATE:These worked for 2 months, then died. I got a replacement from the company as they were under warranty. The replacement died in a month.
