Optoma Nuforce BE LIVE 5 NuForce Be live5 In-Ear Earphones - Black

A good quality article for sure, great comfort and sound. Just a little bit short on battery, where sometimes the announced 8hours are an upper limit rather than a lower limit...

In typical fashion, I bought these earphones as my previous Jaybird X3s got damaged and didn't work for months... and they started to work!So I got to compare these with my old ones...The Live5 in terms of sound did seem a little crisper than the X3, and they felt comfortable in the eat. However, two major problems were clear after giving them a go:1. The bluetooth connectivity was nowhere near as good as the X3. I am a tall guy, but having my phone in a pocket meant there were cut outs every few seconds!2. This may be me, but replacing the earbuds were very annoying! Just couldn't do it! Definitely a tight fit...If the BT connection wasn't so bad, probably would've stuck with these. Instead, my X3 earphones are back in use...

Sound quality is OK and they fit acceptably as long as you have comply foam tips. However my first pair died at around the 6 month mark and got them replaced under warranty. Now my second pair is about to go as well i think after another 6 months as the battery is rubbish. For this price its hard to recommend these.

Unfortunately this product sits between cheaper bluetooth headphones (£30 - £40 price range) and more expensive headphones (£100 +) ... it is not worth the price. Sound was too tinny and there was hardly any low-ends or bass coming through the headphones.Will keep in the £30 - £40 range, until vast improvements to Bluetooth sound quality are made in general I think. You can find better sounding headphones for half the price.

These headphones have great sound quality but many faults with bluetooth. Bought them to replace 3 year old wireless headsets.They cut out all the time while in pocket. Could not play at all while in backpack.In open spaces (garden) the connection drops in less than 4meters.

Good sound but an incredibly rubbish battery life. Did not even last for a two hour flight. Noise cancelling is quite good though. The taotronic ones I have replaced them with last a lot longer for less money.

These headphones are great, except for one major flaw. And unfortunately it's such an important factor that the headphones are basically worthless because of it. They keep dropping connection. When connected to my computer, while I am sitting at said computer, they cannot go 30 seconds without dropping the bluetooth connection. When connected to my phone I have to keep my phone in my jacket breast pocket because any further away (pants pocket) and they will drop the signal. Incredibly frustrating and disappointing.

They don't fit well in the ears.
