Silicon Devices Wireless Bluetooth Sports Headphones, Red

I purchased the Silicon Devices® Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds for Running - Sports Sweatproof Workout Headphones on March 15, 2016 and received them on March 17, 2016. The headphones were a set that I purchased out of necessity and I thought they sounded amazing. I ordered them and they worked great for less than two months. At the beginning of May the headphones started to give me problems. Now being someone that followed the charging instructions to a tee, I was frustrated when they would no longer charge or tell me they were charged. So I went to my instruction book and tried to resolve the issue. I tried to wait for 30 mins to see if the light would return and it did not. I tried to reset to factory default following the instructions and this failed me as well. I did see before purchasing them that some people were given a free set for a good review or something, but I took it with a grain of salt. Now I wonder if that is true. These headphones were right under $50.00 and cannot even last two months. It is ridiculous. I am someone that goes to the gym daily and for 2-4 hours a each day and they were great until they died. I am more than disappointed in this purchase. I am outright pissed. No one should buy these headphones if they are only going to work for such a limited amount of time.

I would highly recommend these for working out, yard work, etc. I have 3 pairs - 1 for my phone, 1 for my tablet, and 1 for my laptop (you can't switch devices from the headphones and changing and pairing a single pair got old). I got my first pair from a friend who didn't like the ear-stays for some reason - they are actually one of the main reasons I like them; they are firm enough to keep them on your head and in your ears while active but you don't even notice they are there when you get used to them. Distance is pretty good and connection is acceptable if you have to leave the room. I don't really have any complaints. I have been told that the microphone sounds tinny on speakerphone but not confirmed and not a problem. I wish that they were a little lower profile and that the charge lasted longer ( get about 4 hours at the most when listening to audio, not sure how long just connected). Good buy; the first pair were $50, my second two pair were $16, and I think they are worth about $25-$30. I've read some reviews where people weren't pleased but I've had no problems. The price moves may be due to inconsistent quality but I've not experienced that.

I did not have any issues adjusting the rest of in-ear headphones I owned in the past: I'd usually switch to larger ear bud tips that come in the box and would be good to go... It didn't work the same way with these ones though: even the biggest tips do not provide good contact with inner surface of the ear and, thus, sound quality (especially bass) suffers quite a bit. I bought those for gym and I have to admit they sit pretty well on the ear (while running, lifting weights, etc), but lack of good ear bud tip contact reduces it all to zero... To hear what sound quality really is, I have to push the headphones deep into my ears and use my hands to keep them in that position (which isn't how headphones should work, of course). However, sound quality isn't great even with good tip contact (which might be the case for other customers b/c as you know each ear is unique and differs in size and shape :)), it isn't terrible either - it's just OK.

As other users have mentioned, don't waste your time. These last maybe a few months. I bought a pair last year, and they went out within a couple of months. I literally only ran one half marathon in them and then they stopped working. I gave up for a while but then decided that since I'd spent the money on it, and they hadn't performed as promised I'd contact the seller. When I did, they were actually very prompt and helpful, and assured me that it was a single defective item, and sent me a replacement set free of charge. I was happy with this and let it go, but unfortunately, this headset has only lasted 3 months of moderate running (they just stopped working on mile 4 of a long run). I'm not sure what happened this time, as I'm not an ultramarathoner who sweats on them for 12 hours straight, and I don't abuse them. I literally put them on to lift weights and train for a half marathon.

i bought these due to needing a pair of bluetooth around the ear earbud for walking, jogging, and biking. i did not give this product 5 stars for two reasons. first the product had problems playing my amazon offline cloud music. i understand that bluetooth product may have an occasional "hiccup" but these earbuds could not make it through one song without "hiccuping" every 10-15 seconds. i do not understand why either because it was OFFLINE music, i was not streaming it. the second reason i gave it a 3 star was that the buds feel out of my ear when i did some light jogging. the part that goes around the ear is VERY flimsy, so i do not know if that is the problem or the buds themselves. For the positive notes, they are on the cheaper end of bluetooth ear buds, pairing to multiple devices was/ is a breeze, and the sound quality was/ is better that i was expecting for earbuds. i personally would not recommend these. i could deal with the buds slipping out of my ears occasionally but the amount of "hiccups" they produced was unacceptable and unlistenable.
