MEE audio Runaway 4.0 Bluetooth Stereo Wireless + Wired Headphones with Microphone (White)

***UPDATE***This company is amazing. I am well outside of my 1 year warranty and the top band snapped when I was putting the headphones on recently. I have an older generation and I use these headphones every day, so they take considerable wear and tear. Contacted Meelectronics and they sent me pretty much every component that could wear out that I can easily replace myself. Truly a company that backs its products.When I finally manage to wear this headset out completely, I will be purchasing another from Meelectronics without a second thought.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I can't say enough good about this headset. Purchased based on other customer reviews and I'm glad I did! I won't usually purchase a brand that I've never heard of before, however after a little research I discovered MEElectronics is a large player in the wireless audio playing field. Having been a DJ for 13 years starting on Vinyl, and a trained Studio Engineer, I expect a lot from anything that emits audio.The Pros:1. Com-for-table. At work I sit in front of a computer screen for hours at a time. I wear this headset for the entire time and I don't feel discomfort. Some headphones I've used in the past will make the crown of my head ache after long exposure, not these! Also, the ear pads have a ton of cushion to add to the comfort level.2. Sync is a breeze, just hold the power button till you see a red and blue flash, discover it with your device, and sync. I've never had to enter a pin code, however that may just be the devices I'm using.3. Battery life = amazing. I can go days of extended use without having to recharge. They do take a while to get a full charge after dying, and they will annoy you to plug them in once they need a charge, however when starting from a full charge you can go a long time without plugging them in. Also, in the event you just have to listen to that next song, you can hard wire them with the included cable and it bypasses the Bluetooth feature completely.4. The side buttons are a great feature. Both the power button or the pickup/end call button will start/stop playback when listening to music. The advance or go back buttons are a big help as well, you don't have to wake your device when you find that track you have to hear over and over! Unfortunately (and this is a common theme among my Bluetooth headsets) the volume buttons only control the volume on the headset. I generally max out this feature and forget about it, using my device if I want to adjust the volume.5. The most important Pro is the SOUND!!! Bass response = yes. Treble = yes. Do they sound amazing = YES! I was surprised when I put these on and heard them for the first time. I had expected a lot of grainy, screechy sound to emerge from the headset like the first time I heard an MP3. The headset is (mostly) clear, and has great range. Not to say there isn't any interference from time to time, however I would take these over (almost) any of my wired headsets on a regular basis.*one thing to note about sound quality, it has a lot to do with your source. if you bake a cake with sour milk, the cake is going to come out sour. the same can be said for sound quality, if you listen to a poor source, the sound experience won't meet your expectations.The Cons:1. The headset has some discoloration after prolonged used. I choose not to purchase the black headset as other users mentioned that it had finger smudges, much like the screen on a smart device. I figured this would drive me crazy so I opted for the white, feeling it wouldn't have that problem. The texture on the headset absorbs dirt, and, where I touch it on a regular basis to put it on, has become a reddish color. I figure a good cleaning will fix this, however if you're a stickler for perfection it might drive you crazy (which is exactly what I was trying to avoid in the first place!)2. When using with my Android devices, I noticed a considerable delay (like 2 seconds) between screen touches and audio response. When used with my iPod touch that has Bluetooth 4.0, this delay didn't exist. I have recently upgraded my phone which now has Bluetooth 4.0, and my tablet which doesn't have Bluetooth 4.0, but is running the latest Android version, and this problem has gone away. I have no idea what caused it, however I wanted to mention it here as a forewarning.In the end, I rolled the dice on this product and ended up hitting the jackpot. Great price, great sound, more than I expected out of a manufacturer I've never hear of makes this a 5 star product!

UPDATE 12/14/13: After more than a year of near-continuous use, these headphones are now starting to wear out. Audio quality remains consistent (which means they still sound great), but the plastic is starting to wear. The headphones feel like they're about to break; all the joints feel loose, the soft rubber coating is peeling off, and the headband cushioning is starting to lose its shape. I still feel like I got my money's worth, considering these are some of the cheapest Bluetooth headphones on the market, but I think it's time I upgraded to something with a better build quality.I've owned a few wired and wireless headphones over the years, and though I'm no audiophile, I'm confident I can tell a quality pair of headphones from some crap ones. And these I can comfortably place in the "quality" list. My opinions of this headset are based on comparisons with the wired headphones I use on a regular basis: a pair of Sennheiser HD202's that I use at work and for general music listening, a pair of Astro A30's for gaming, and a pair of JBuds J5M earbuds that I use when I'm out and about and don't want to carry headphones with me.SoundBecause the Air-Fi AF32's can be used both wired and wireless, I have to give two opinions on each of these modes, because they're not equal. In wireless bluetooth mode, sound quality is decent. There's a decent amount of bass (but certainly not on the same ear-thumping level of an entry pair of Beats by Dre) and mid-level frequencies come through nicely. High-frequency sounds, like hi-hats or orchestral strings, however, have some distortion in them. It's almost as if the song I'm playing is being sampled at a lower bitrate when used in bluetooth mode.Wired, these headsets are quite good. They're just as good as any entry-level wired headphones. Bass is good, mid- and high-frequency sound is crisp.ComfortThese don't press against my head like other headphones do. And since I wear glasses, I have no problem wearing these for hours at a time. The cushioning is soft and because they don't envelop my entire ear, the sides of my head don't get super hot. The downside is that this means the cans have practically no sound isolation, so at high volumes, everyone around you will know what you're listening to.Build qualityI've only had them a week, but they've taken some abuse and have survived the week inside my backpack. No scratches yet. The speakers themselves haven't blown out or anything, and I try to keep the volume fairly high just to stress test the speakers' membranes.Call qualityI've taken a few calls with these via my phone, and call quality was pretty good. On the other end, people can hear me clearly enough, but just as w/most headsets, the mic picks up a lot of ambient noise. I wouldn't recommend these for taking a call in a crowded or noisy environment.Battery lifeNot sure how long these are supposed to last on a single charge, but I received and charged them on a Monday and it's now the following Sunday and these cans are still kicking. I use them with bluetooth for about an hour every day (give or take) and so far they've held that first charge. If charging once a week is what I have to do, that's fine by me.OverallBluetooth headphones still don't sound as good as wired ones, but at least with this set you get a lot of bang for your buck. Bluetooth, media controls, call functionality, folding design for storing in a bag; you get a lot for under $100. And if the batteries do go, you can still use them wired (and they'll sound a little better, too). For those that need a wireless, fairly hassle-free audio experience, these are great.
