Ansin Wireless 4.1 Bluetooth Noise Cancelling In-ear Headphones with Mic - Black

Pros: Good sound for he price. Fits better that most so-called "sport" headphones. Appealing design.Cons: The cord that connects the headphones is unusually long and binds on neck. With enough sweat around the ears, headphones will fall off if gravity is allowed to pull away from ears (i.e. lying on a decline bench). Does not have "noise cancelling".Objective review: For the price, these are great headphones. There is the usual bluetooth issues that seem to plague other headphones. I can sprint, jump, and perform actual "sport" movements with little issue. However, one of the asinine designs of this headphone is the overly long cord. I haven't measured it, but it seems to be made for someone with a inhumanly large head. The cord hangs behind the neck and if you turn your head to one side or the other, the cord sticks to the skin (sweat or no) and then pulls on your ear when the head is turned back requiring a constant adjustment whenever the head is turned. This could easily be solved if the cord was made to be adjustable or if a fabric was wrapped around the part of the cord that would contact the neck allowing the fabric to stick and the cord to easily slide through.Subjective review: One complaint aside from the long cord. I know this isn't the fault of the headphone manufacturer but the idiotic bluetooth design is very frustrating. I've had this bluetooth issue with other headphones so it seems to be universal thing. First, who is the idiot who designed the bluetooth voice prompts to insist on reminding you ever 15 seconds that the battery is low. Why? Seriously. Why? What will happen if the battery dies. Will I be in danger? Will some harm come to me or others if the headphones dies. Also, this "low battery" warning starts at 50% battery life! Why? This is asinine on so many levels. What if a car did this? What if, when a car gets to 50% fuel in the tank, an audible warning would alert you that the fuel is getting low every 15 seconds that you cannot turn off. Would you want a car like that? I could even understand if such a warning occurred in a car when the "low fuel" light came on. Running out of fuel in a car could indeed be potentially dangerous. However, running out of battery on some some headphones doesn't require the urgent and obnoxious reminder that bluetooth currently has.

The earbuds work great with my iPod classic and the sound and volume control are amazing (I hear beautiful musical sounds in some recorded music on the iPod that I never heard before, especially in the bass), but there was one problem. The instructions talk about connecting them only to devices that have software apps devised to connect the device to Bluetooth, and the iPod classic contains no such software. I connected them easily using the provided directions with first use, but after I recharged the iPod, it would not reconnect.I found the following instructions online, and they were the answer to my problem. I meant no plagiarism but really found no useful way to change what was said, although I found it useful to break the short paragraph offered into individual numbered steps. These are the instructions as provided (although to put it easily, not to give up the punch line, the major issue was that I had presumed the Bluetooth adapter was meant to be placed in the iPod before the earbuds were put in pairing mode, and as it turns out, you set the earbuds to pairing mode first and then you insert the adapter in the iPod last, and voila, you have music!):1. Make sure all other Bluetooth devices in range are turned off.2. Turn off the Bluetooth speaker and the iPod Classic.3. Turn on the iPod, and then the Bluetooth Speakers.4. Put the speakers in pairing mode (with these, that means hold the multi-function key for 6.5 seconds, at which point a voice says "Pairing").5. Plug the transmitter into the iPod.

Didn't even enjoy them when they worked properly, like the way they're supposed to.1st- the worst- the voice command is EXTREMELY LOUD and cannot be turned down! When the battery gets low it screams "BATTERY LOW!!"...every...1...minute, makin the last 20 minutes impossible to enjoy. 2nd- the battery is junk only 4 hrs if that n given what i said bout the "battery low" really ud b lucky to get 3 1/2hrs out of this thing. 3rd- all command functions are controlled by three buttons, which means the buttons have to be double-clicked, held down or pressed quickly to do different functions and most of the time the headphones can't compute the actual function that you want. 4th-the second u accidentally snag the wire that goes from ear bud to ear bud, is the last time you're able to use these.ONLY PRO- sound quality is pretty decentALL IN ALL- I wouldn't pay 30 bucks for these, probably would spend 5 bucks knowing that I bought a cheap piece of ... DO NOT BUY!!
