BTH240

Great head set that I've been using for years. I just purchased my 3rd set in about ten years. The sound quality and battery life is excellent. I like the foldable behind the head design as it fits perfectly under a bike helmet or a hat.I know these were introduced around 2011 which is about the time I got my first set. I would drive them hard. Biking for hours with sweat pouring over them. Then tossing them into my bag unprotected to be bounced around with my other stuff. This is my third set because they don't last forever, which I wouldn't expect them too. The first set had one ear go out and the second stopped reliably connecting to bluetooth. My wife is on her first pair which might be eight years old but she doesn't use hers often where I'm using my 10-20 hours a week.When my last pair broke I was set on finding something updated as these came out over 10years ago. But I could not find something at this price point that looked like it could deliver a good sound experience. I also wanted this foldable design as I travel a lot and it being compact is important. There just isn't much out there. Things have all trended to earbuds which just don't work for me for reasons (Sound, comfort, fall out of my head-ness, losability). You can pay 4 times as much for something with the word "Beats" on the side of it but you aren't getting any better sound quality. Sound is important to me as I like getting lost in the music.It's notable that when you get them you need to just play music on them for a couple hours to break in the speakers. They first sound a little tinny but that resolves after things start to loosen up.

* I'm currently listening to my music wirelessly from my old Fire tablet; I've streamed from all my devices and Macs.* These are exactly 9 years in service by the end of July 2025.* The black pad substance flaked off the two pads, extremely typical of all brands, so when that began I used a tweezer and pulled it all off in 15 minutes, there is a foam of respectable density revealed.* The headband is not fabric (thankfully) and it's not that weird rubber that gets sticky, it's a flat not glossy gray.* The back stays off my neck, stays right in place, I hardly ever adjust them. Only when I look straight up does the band connect with the skin. So that's a good, durable neck band.* Sound is okay, it is decent sound, they are not junk, BUT BUT these are functional not audiophile.* Charge is micro-usb under a rubber flap which is still doing it's job. ALWAYS TAKE CARE WITH ALL YOUR USB PORTS, TAKE YOUR TIME. It will pay off in longevity of your purchase.* I have an average head to fit.

I just received and started using these wireless headphones and so far I've been very pleased. They were easy to connect to my Samsung Galaxy Note - it took less than 2 min including reading the instructions. One of the main reasons I purchased wireless headphones was for listening to audio books and music in bed. I explored the available wireless ear bud-type headphones but couldn't find any with a lifespan of longer than 6-8 hours. For me this didn't work as I wanted to be able to listen to music all night long. To get longer battery life, I found that I had to go with the over-the-ear set-up. The main drawback of all the options in this category is that the buttons are located on the sides of the over-ear pieces which makes it easy to unintentionally press the button if you are laying with your head to the side. I've found accidental button pushing to be an issue with these headphones, although I don't blame this pair for that - it is a design feature that I just have to accept in order to get the battery life I want.Thus far my reason for giving these headphones 4 out of 5 is comfort. The plastic piece connecting the two ear pieces that goes around the back of your head isn't adjustable and doesn't fit my head very well. I also haven't worn the headphones for a full night so I'm not sure how the ear pieces and my ears will get along after hours of laying with my head resting on them.Overall I feel like these wireless headphones are a good quality and perform exactly as advertised. The sound quality is good, the wireless range is good, the comfort is good. For ~$30, I considers these wireless headphones to be money well spent.
