A really excellent set of hands-free headphones.
This is a nice product, I have others from Kamtron and these are equally as impressive.Packaging and ContainerI liked the white box, which was reminiscent of an iPhone box. I liked the compact packing and the plastic carry-case, which even has a spare pair of soft ear covers included. Also included is a USB connection lead which needs the usual phone charger with a USB socket, just like iPhone and iPad chargers. Most people have one of them.Instruction bookletThis was a pleasant surprise - very concise, I can’t fault it, and it is in perfect English. There is not a lot to instruct on with these headphones because they are simple to set up and very easy to use.Ease of pairing with iPhoneThis took me about fifteen seconds. Now it automatically connects when I switch them on.Comfort.These are very comfortable and surprisingly light to wear. I even ran a little way with them and they stayed in place.Disturbing others.I sat next to someone and asked them to comment on how much of a nuisance they would be if used on public transport. Only when I put on loud or tinny music did it become a concern. ZZTop was certainly audible. With quiet country music playing, it could not be heard externally.Functionality - Playing musicOnce the earphones are switched on, and the double beep (power on) is followed by the single beep (Bluetooth connected), simply loading the music player and playing a track transmitted it to the earphones.1. Gentle country music - The clarity is excellent, the breadth of high and low notes were dealt with very well and altogether it was a pleasing sound (Trisha Yearwood - “Walkaway Joe”)2. Thunderous orchestral - This is always a challenge, but the whole introduction to the track built really well, and there was no muddling of the sounds. (Russell Watson - “Somewhere”)3. Classical tenor - The reproduction was very clear and I was impressed.with the overall effect. (Rolando Villazon - “Che Gelida Manina”)4. Rock and pop - Once again, a good delivery, not distorted or muddled and very enjoyable -(ZZ Top - “Gimme all your lovin’”)With small earphones, working hard to deliver music as best they can, it can be a little strident. It was not the case with these. I shall use them while gardening and walking.Using the controls - Music playerVery good - volume up and down work well, as do “next track”, it is especially useful having little raised dots on each button to make them easy to find and use. Very nice touch.Using the controls - PhoneI used the double-click function on the centre button to dial my last dialled number on my iPhone. It connected properly and I spoke with the recipient. They could hear me and I could hear them, so the phone works fine. It was not distorted and there was no interference.Connectivity.With my iPhone in my trouser pocket, there was never any problem connecting to the Bluetooth.Positive points.They are good. Very good, and full of surprises. I tried to compare them with other sets of headphones on Amazon which were also over-ear (as opposed to ear buds that go In the ear). I couldn’t find any, so right there, with that simple fact, is for me the best reason for buying them. I don’t like things stuck in my ear, I much prefer them to have soft ear pieces instead. These fit the bill perfectly. They sound great. They aren’t as good as dedicated high sound quality headphones, like Beat, for example - how could they be! They will keep me relaxed and entertained as I spend hours in the garden, preparing for Autumn.Honestly, for £25 you simply can’t go wrong.Negative points.Just one, but it’s not a big deal. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find any evidence of “noise-cancelling”. If using them for running on pavements or roads, I imagine the last thing you should have is noise cancelling, so for me it’s actually a positive.I have noise cancelling headphones - actually, I have two sets, one of them a large pair from this same manufacturer, so I do know what NC is all about, and so do they.They don’t need to include it in the description because the item is a very good product just as it is and I think it’s excellent value for money.

These are AMAZING!
I ordered these for my husband when running but I love them so much I'm keeping them! I suffer with headaches and headphones always give me headaches and the ones that go in your ears are so annoying either falling out out feel uncomfortable. These are SO LIGHT, I've recently had a cartalige piercing and these earphones dont irritate or hurt it, they're extremely comfortable.Music is crystal clear throught these and I was a bit worried about calls and the other end being able to hear but they couldn't tell I wasnt on my phone!My husband tested them with running and jumping and they stayed in place.

Fantastic Bluetooth Running headphones for under £25
So I recently have taken up running and was using normal headphones to get me through , this however as you can imagine is not ideal nit only did they keep falling out, but when they did I tripped up a few times in the cable! yes I know this was a silly idea), So i began the search for a pair of Bluetooth ones, and decided to plump for these.They arrived very quickly and were very easy to set up , I have used Bluetooth in past and these were surprisingly quick to connect to my phone, tablet and also my Laptop ( not at same time , obviously!) the name of the Bluetooth device is "Marathon" which is not what I will be doing any time soon. They are a surprisingly comfortable , the Blue band connects round the back of head and is placed over the ears. All the controls are on one ear piece , volume control, connection control , song skip and telephone, and also a charge port under a little rubber cap, Very compact , Sound quality is great for Music or Podcasts and Phone conversation is also Ok! it comes with a niffty carry case and a MICRO USB cable that can charge of laptop or plus socked that has a USB connection.all in all extremely happy with my purchase and would recommend to any one these great value Headphones!

Very good sound and super light
The quality of the sound that comes out of this headphone had exceeded my original expectation. It's clear and has a nice balance between the treble and the base. I use them with my phone to talk to people and to listen to music on the go and they are perfect for that.I was also very impressed with how light they are and how comfortably they fitted on my ears. At first, it took me a few seconds to fit them each time but I quickly got used to the twist and hang action and now I do it without even thinking. The headphone sits very comfortably on my ears and even after hours of use, it is still comfortable.The BlueTooth is also very stable with no crackling sounds and constant connection that provide really good sound.All in all these headphones are an ingenious design and at this price, I am very pleased with my purchases and going to buy another one for my daughter as she is already starting to "borrow" them from me all the time.

Pretty ok !
I like these headphones as they are pretty cheap and does what it needs to, the design is a bit weird but does stop it from falling off if you wanted to be active with these, other than that they are very standard the sound quality doesn't blow me away, there is no noise cancellation for me and the battery life is pretty decent. i did find due to the design it is very compact for storage but can be a bit annoying to take out. overtime i did notice slight upper ear fatigue too due to how they fit, but i cant really complain as they are nice to have as you aren't over paying for them therefore aren't too worried about them being lost or broken. i would recommend due to the convenience of how compact it is, but if you're looking for something to use a lot i would maybe get a traditional over ear design as these are on ear.
