Pulse Best Over Ear Sports Bluetooth Wireless Mini Rechargeable Headset For Workout and Running. Great with Iphone 6 and Ipod.

As a technology professional, I must admit, I was a bit skeptical about the capabilities of these headphones when I purchase them, but the price was worth the gamble and I'm not sorry I took the chance.I first paired them with my Samsung 5G Android handset which is on the Sprint network. The only issue was that the Samsung wanted to load additional Samsung software and I opted to continue to use Google voice. Once I set Google voice as my default recognition software, everything worked perfectly.I next paired them with my Lenovo laptop so I can use them with Skype. I use Skype a lot, to provide international technical support to customers all over the world, and had two issues with corded headphones: the cords tangle, the wires break off and crack, and the headphones were bulky to store in my laptop case.In the case of my laptop, I had to reboot the laptop for the new PULSE headphones to be visible to all of the software, but, once the drivers were installed, the headphones paired, and the laptop rebooted, they worked like a charm - WITHOUT CORDS, which makes them even better.I was prepared to have to make the choice of using one device or the other, but these headphones support Bluetooth 4.0 and allow up to two devices to be paired, AND IN USE, simultaneously. That means that I can have them connected to my Samsung Android phone and my Lenovo laptop - simultaneously, and be ready to use them with calls on either the phone or Skype.But. the good surprises didn't end there. When a call comes in, the headphones read the telephone number to me and all I have to do is wait till the reading of the number is completed and say, "yes," to accept the call, or "no," to refuse the call. No need to touch my headset - great when cycling.They also work with Skype on the Samsung and all I have to do is press the universal command button and say, "Hello Google, call home" and my home phone starts ringing. I can also say, "play music" and my Android music player will auto-start.PRO: Excellent sound, excellent value, 20 hour battery life, lifetime warranteeCON: mic quality is not the best - could be a lot better, but the mic is built into the right earphone and there's no extension down to the mouth region, so there is some degradation in the voice quality when I am talking to someone.OVERALL: Very pleased and highly recommended mini portable wireless headphones!

Great customer service: I bought these headphones about six months ago. Recently they started randomly shutting off. I felt disgusted because I've had other bluetooth headphones that didn't go the distance. I'm a marathon runner and can run over 100 miles/week, and I listen to audio books while working around the house as well, so they do get frequent use.I was looking for another pair when I came across this listing and saw the "Lifetime Warranty" advertised with them. I thought, "yeah right", but contacted the company through their website anyway to give it a shot. I emailed with my order number, explained the problem and asked what could be done. A representative from the company emailed me back - within hours - and said they would send a new one to me. I believe this was even on a Sunday night. I replied the next day thanking them, and they replied with an order confirmation number. Within days, I had a brand new pair that work great - just as the ones did before. What a nice surprise!The product itself is my most frequently used pair of headphones. I like them because they are light as well as compact/foldable. The other feature I like is that there are separate controls for the skip forward/back, and volume controls. I have other headsets in which the buttons are the same, but you must push them longer or shorter in order to get them to do one or the other function. I use these functions a lot, and who wants to bother with pressing a button for an extended period of time while running, or when it's cold outside and you've got on mittens or gloves and perhaps a hat in the way, which makes buttons hard to manipulate.I also like that these sit on top of your ears versus in your ears. I can still hear noises around me while running if I keep the volume at a reasonable level, which I feel is best for safety purposes while out playing sports. And, they don't fall out like ear buds do. The only slight con is that they fall a bit too low occasionally so I need to adjust them up, it's not a huge deal to me though, as it doesn't really affect the audio too much. Also, the battery lasts a long time. Once I was listening to music before going to sleep, I fell asleep and when I awoke in the morning the music was still playing. Recommend.

I bought these about a month ago, and thus far, I'm very satisfied. I've worn them around the house, mowing the yard, and on numerous runs...including two 5K races. The connection to my Android phone is excellent...zero interference and I can walk around the house, leaving the phone in one room, and reception is great. Battery life is excellent...I normally charge them twice a week, or every three days or so. Sound volume is good...definitely loud enough (no problem hearing over the mower or during runs). Sound quality is fair...it's an equal mix of treble, mid, and bass. Don't expect high quality 'Beats' type sound, but it'll do for $25-$30.Cons? Not many...if I HAD to list one, I'd say that they tend to creep down the ear while running (only). Every 5 minutes or so, I need to lift them back up to the center of my ears while running/jogging. I'd like to see them offered in an ear insert model, too...that would be a bit more user-friendly for us runners (no creep).Ultimately, VERY happy with the purchase.
