Bluetooth Workout Headphones for Running and Gym with Wireless Earbuds and built in Mic for Hands Free Calling by Arena Club

These earbuds do the job they are supposed to - they are working bluetooth headphones. They are about $10 more than my SoundPeats over-ear set that they are replacing, so it is a little disappointing to find that they are not quite as good. Here are a few reasons why.First, take a look at the inline volume control. When using this control while running or biking, I need to be able to adjust the volume or turn them on or off without looking at the control. Properly inline controls have a tactile notch or nub in the middle, as well as one at the ends of the control, with differences that allow you to tell the difference. This makes it easy to adjust the volume without looking. However, this set lacks any tactile indicators on the ends. It has a nub in the middle, but it is literally so small that I cannot feel it. It's tiny. Maybe my skin is more coarse than normal, but it would be trivial to beef that up a bit.Second, a very weird ergonomic choice with regard to the control. Literally every set of headphones I have ever used on my iPhone uses a short press to adjust volume, a long press to skip forward or back. These guys do it the exact opposite. You need to hold down the button to adjust the volume - making the whole process a little slower and awkward. Since most people are going to adjust the volume far more often than they skip forward or back in their music, it doesn't make sense to make that the more difficult operation.Third, and this is a smaller point, the inline volume control is fairly bulky and heavy - when I run with it, I have a constant thunking and jerking of the cord. It seems like this control is a lot heavier than the onese I am used to.Fiinally - the last point - this vendor is literally purchasing reviews - do you really trust a review in which the reviewer has been paid $10?Wonder if I'll get mine?- Mark

Bought two of these and glad I did. The fit is close to the ears and are still very comfortable, even when lying in bed-on my side. The sound is clear. The volume has a great range whether adjusted from my phone or the headset control. The battery lasts approx 8 hours, but works while being charged. It also charges fairly rapidly. The ONLY problem I have had is a very loud clicking suddenly in one earpiece. I believe the wire to that side got bent. As soon as I straightened it out the noise stopped. But it is very startling when it happens-only happened twice. Yes I did receive a $10 Amazon credit for leaving a review, but I didn't feel pressured to leave a great review. I don't think the company is "paying" for good reviews. I find it to be a very solid product for its price point

At first I was very skeptical about these. Even when I first got them and tried them they seemed a little ehh. But then when you began to use them more you understand that they are a decent pair for the price. The build quality isn't that great but but they do seem more sturdy than the beats ones that I owned that broke in the past. The sound quality is just as good as the beats pair as well. All around its a good buy for the price.

I have been through over a dozen Bluetooth earbuds and headsets over the past decade. My experience shows that under heavy sweaty use all of the other Bluetooth headsets I have used have not lasted more than a few months. I have waited six months to leave a review just to see how these last. These truly are water and sweat resistant! I didn’t necessarily buy these because it supported connecting to two different devices at the same time, but it is the best feature ever! I have it connected to my phone and tablet. When I am at the gym I can watch a show on my tablet while running on the treadmill and instantly switch back to music on my phone without having to connect or disconnect anything. I have not had any connection issues whatsoever with this headset. Other headset I have had sometimes have problems maintaining a good connection with my phone. These ones work great.The music audio quality is not as great as some of the more premium headsets I have tried, but I still like these better because everything else continues to work much better.

The sound is great on these but I do not like the control buttons. First of all, unless that earplugs are in in the unit talk to you, it is almost impossible to tell if you’ve turned on the headphones or if they are still off. I’ve also found that I can jump from one song to another using the control buttons but I cannot turn the volume up or down using the same buttons (Even though the instruction said I should be able to). The controls definitely need to be enhanced.

The clamp holding the wires together is very cheap plastic and the sound is average at best. However, if you buy them and give them a good review they’ll give you a $10 Amazon card. That is a bribe clear as day and should not be allowed. What other item have you seen with five stars and so many reviews.

The battery life is 2 hours max, and the signal is quite weak. They are constantly dying even though I turn them off after each use, and the signal cuts out regularly if I have my phone in my back pocket. My phone will show 60% battery on the headphones, then 5 minutes later the headphones say "battery low" and shut down a few minutes after that. These seem to be the same as the "SMBOX" headphones, which I previously purchased, that sell for 12.99 and advertise a 2 hour battery life (they have the same bluetooth identifier as the SMBOX and the exact same controls). A decent purchase for 12.99, but not for $35+.

I’d like to start by saying that the sound on these is pretty good and the fit is pretty comfortable. These headphones come with the little toggle switch it shows in the photo located on the right headphone, which comes in handy for switching between songs. But, this is also what flaws these headphones. The weight of it makes the right headphone constantly sag out of your ear regardless of what you do, which is very annoying especially when you workout.
