Good value, battery life could be better
They actually stay in my ears due to the multiple fit options. I usually have a lot of trouble with that, even with much more expensive headphones. The Bluetooth reception is nice and steady. They get really LOUD. The sound quality is very good for the price. They pair more easily than more expensive Bluetooth devices I own.The only real drawback is battery life. I can only get about 2 hours of use from a full charge, and they discharge when not in use. This means they are often dead or near dead when I want to use them, unless I plan ahead. My friend has a set too and the batteries last longer for him.Also the controller pod is a little too large.Bottom line is they do the job well enough and are priced right. You really can't lose.

Not worth the buy, poor layout causes issues when using
I do not normally write reviews but figured I would for this product. The sound is great, however for some reason its starts at a high volume so you basically can not turn it down, only up even higher. A 2nd issue with this product are the terrible battery life, maybe lasts 2-3 hrs. And lastly, because the "bluetooth/volume control" is off to the side it bounces around and pulls the ear piece out of your ear if you are moving when wearing them. It comes with a clip that you can hook to your shirt but the clip slides back and forth and so it doesnt prevent it from bouncing and the clip broke after 3 uses.My wife bought the following headphones a few weeks after me and I liked them so much that I finally bought a pair of them too and they work great. I have used them 4-5 times in the last week and I have not had to charge them yet!SENSO Bluetooth Headphones Wireless Sports Earphones

Nice when both earbuds work without interruption.
Both headphones work for about 10min then the right one just quits. Recharging has magically fixed the right earbud, but only for a brief period. I contacted support and only received a response to original message that was copied to Amazon. At this point I'm trying to decide if I should contact them again or plan to buy a replacement elsewhere.======Updated on Feb 4, 2017I re-contacted customer support and they were quite responsive the second time around. Within a few days of their response, I had a brand new free replacement arrive at my home. I've bumped up the review to 3 stars based on this great response, but still find the earbuds a bit iffy.With the jacket I wear for outdoor winter running, I end up clipping the wire on the inside of the jacket with the wire coming out around the neck. This keeps it from bouncing around, but any amount of tension on the wire causes intermittent disruptions in the output of one or both earbuds. Basically, I would lose sound on about a third of my foot strikes.Long story short, these earbuds are sitting in my drawer over the winter. I'll use them if I'm inside on a treadmill or outside without a jacket, so we'll give them another shot when things warm up.

Great BT headphones for the price!
Great sound, comfortable headset, easy to set up. My only observation is that I have to let the cord lay in front of my neck rather than behind in order to reach the controls and because the cord will sometimes stick to my neck and pull on the ear buds. Hanging in front is comfortable and the ear buds remain secure. Only complaint is the battery life for music seems like slightly less than 4 continuous hours and I'm more of a 5+ hr marathon runnner. For the price, I will buy these again before looking for a newer product.

Not much use time
I charged it fully and got to use it for 3 1/2 hours listening to an Audiobook. That is it. I have used several different wireless Bluetooth sets and never have I had one disappointment me as much as this one has.Update- I was contacted by Parasom and, due to their response, I am changing my review from 1 star to 3 stars. While I am disappointed with the product, I am happy with the great customer service and their actions.

Right headphone quit working in the first 40 minutes.
Here is the good.The sound was good, and the headphones stayed in place during a run.The bad:After 40 minutes of use, my second run, the right headphone had a terrible static sound to it.I would not recommend.

Not what I expected
I bought this wireless headphone and the sound quality is very good, but I have an issue that ear hook that holds the ear piece got broken when I put them on the first time.I'm giving it 5 stars because they sent me a new headphone to replace the broken one. Great sound and connects so fast to my phone.

All items weren't in package
I did not receive a charging plug with the headsets. I only received one set of ear hooks and one set of earbuds. I expected to have all the items that came with the headset not just the headset.

Great Affordable Bluetooth Earphone Option - Recommended.
☰OVERVIEW☰➔So far these earphones have been great. The sound quality is surprisingly good & and the earphones are comfortable after long use. I picked these up to use for the gym & for daily use. For the gym the ear hook works perfectly and unless you're moving your head very quickly they barely move. For daily use, not having to deal with cables when working is great. The only downside is that my laptop didn't have Bluetooth functionality and so I had to buy an adapter, but otherwise they've exceeded my expectations.PROS & CONS☰PROS 👍➔ Comfortable | I'm generally extremely picky when it comes to earphones and only have a couple pairs that I genuinely find comfortable. These earphones definitely fall into that category. They took a little while t get used to but the plugs fit nicely into the ear without aggressively sealing like others that I've used. The hook isn't really noticeable after a little while and helps keep the earphones from falling out from accidentally pulling on the cable.➔ Ease of Use | Some Bluetooth earphones have incredibly awful systems where you need to hold a button down and touch your toes to turn the device on. This device, from opening to pairing to playing music was flawless and had no unnecessarily confusing instructions. Simply turning the earphones on puts them into pairing mode immediately, making connecting a breeze.➔ Above Average Sound Quality | For $30, you wouldn't expect the earphones to be very loud, let alone sound great. The highs are surprisingly decent and there is a very clear bass line built in. Overall, at normal volumes, these earphones get plenty loud enough without giving up strong low-high frequencies.➔ Style | I've worn a few Bluetooth earphones now and these are in the middle of the pack for sleekness. They're not incredibly bulky but they're also a little long on the back where the cord dangles on the back. I'd still say they're more stylish than most, so I'll consider this a pro over a con.➔ Simple Control | The controls are easy to reach, easy to function and simple to press. Some earphones have the buttons too close or give one button multiple important uses which is a bit confusing. The main controls are all on their own button and don't have a very long delay for each button press.CONS 👎➔ Short Battery Life | The battery has lasted me about 3 hours for just music after a full charge. This isn't too bad for going on runs but it's definitely not ideal should I go camping or somewhere where charging consistently isn't going to be possible.➔ Hum/Buzz | When there is no sound being played, instead of just silence the earphones have what I imagine is a slightly frequency buzz to keep the phone connected on stand-by. It's the the most annoying thing, but if you're not playing anything it can get a little bit annoying.➔ Inconsistent Connectivity | Sometimes I can go 20-30m away from my phone and still have it connected and other time I can have it in my pocket and it won't connect. I haven't figure out what causes this yet, but from the testing that I've done, if you have very deep pockets it can sometimes disconnect when you're running. This has only happened once with me so far (other than trying to recreate the problem), so I wouldn't consider it a game changer.☰FINAL THOUGHTS☰➔ At the end of the day, for $30 this is an amazing option for a Bluetooth earphone. I'll always review something based on what I paid for it, and for good sound quality, comfort and overall ease of use, this is a steal. I'd definitely recommended picking these up if you're looking for a cheaper Bluetooth earphone without having to give up any of the most important features.☰VERDICT☰➔ Recommended! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Good headphones but challenging to use when speaking on a call
They work well and I like that they are easy to pair and give you voice alerts when you turn it on and put it in pairing mode.Now, what I noticed is that because they are earbuds that seal your ear, they sound great for listening to music and hearing the other person on a phone call BUT you really hear your own voice when you are talking on a call. That is the only downside I have found.

Great value, definitely reccomend these. would buy again.
I had another pair of headphones that were very similar to these. they cost $5 less and lasted for a good few months before dying in the rain. I find these ones are better quality and are worth the extra few bucks.These ones come with a few ear attachment options, from nothing to a full behind the ear hook. I find the default option works well for keeping them in my ears during running, etc. it also comes with a zippered semi-hard case to store them in, and different sizes of the ear inserts, i found the default size very comfortable. The cord has a clip to attach the cord to your shirt to help stop it from flying around during activity, and it also has a loop-thingie to take up extra slack in the cord, which was a minor annoyance with my old earphones. the quality of the voice alerting you to power on, and bluetooth pairing is better, and id say the sound quality overall is also better. they can connect to 2 devices at the same time, which i find handy to connect to my iphone and apple watch. I still find that activating Siri can be tricky, as you have to hold the power button, but there is a delay with all headphones activating siri, so its hard to hold the button long enough to activate Siri but not turn off your headphones. another annoying thing is that when this is connected to my iPhone and apple watch and my watch makes a notification sound, it stops playback of the music, and i have to start it again. you can work around this by putting the watch on silent.Edit: i did buy a 2nd pair of these.

Great sound but strange popping sound and connectivity issues!
I've purchased from Parasom for the past couple years and they have always had great sounding headphones with clarity and very good bass. Only recently have I experienced performance issues on my latest pair of the A1 headphones, of which I've purchased three pairs before. I frequently use the headphones but on this headphone I received no less than 3 months ago they randomly started making a loud popping/buzzing sound in the earpiece...so loud to the point that I would have to hold the power button until it stopped and would have to restart the connection. Not only that but when I go into public places their seems to be some connectivity issues with the headphones and only when my phone is in front of my body does it seem work. I've tried searching for Parasom's customer service details but with no luck. Someone please help!

Price tag that screams buy me. Quality to match
If you're looking for really good Bluetooth headphones with clarity, amazing volume, awesome bass and a price tag that screams buy me than go with Parasom A1 Bluetooth HeadphonesFrom the black and red color combination to the engraved logo on the back of the housing to the general shape, the Parasom A1 are clearly inspired by Beats earbuds. Fortunately, Parasom has steered clear of downright copying, giving the earbuds their own flavor.The housing is made of aluminum, and there is a magnet on the back of each earbud, which allows you to clamp the earbuds together and carry them securely around your neck. The in-line music playback control module has three buttons for pairing and playback control as well as a charging port and a status LED. The entire assembly is sweatproof and feels durable.The earbuds are supposed to last up to 5 hours on a single charge, and we’ve been able to confirm this figure during our testing. You can also expect up to 100 hours of standby time and 2 hours to charge the earbuds from 0 to 100 percent.These are, by far, the loudest Bluetooth earbuds we’ve ever tested. We just wish there was some kind of protection to prevent them from starting at the maximum volume setting.One thing that contributes to their loudness is their ability to block plenty of outside noise. No, they don’t feature an active noise cancelling system, but they really don’t need to.
