Soundbot SB221 HD Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 Sports-Active Headphones for 20Hrs Music Streaming & 25Hrs HandsFree Calling with Sweat Resistant Ergonomic Secure-Fit Design & Voice Command Support, Black

I use a lot of different Bluetooth headsets, but this is the one that I seem to keep coming back to. It's great if you like to not recharge daily, or even weekly if you use even less often than I do. I got these when I wanted the slightly over there ear, more ridged style of headphones, versus the dangling cords, and my previous bt2.0 headset similar to this one (A pair of Jabra bt620s) was no longer having replacement parts made and my cushions were/had falling/fallen apart(seriously nasty). Quite the upgrade to those nearly 10 year old headphones. There was a bit of a learning curve getting used to these for the first week(volume up and down to launch Google Assistant) but all in all it has been a pleasant experience, if that is not apparent by my previous comments.My only concern and true complaint is with the loudness. The volume for music had been quite decent, going too loud if I want to use them as speakers on my neck, but the volume for calls is where there is an issue. If I'm driving, or sometimes even at work, quite often I am unable to hear a caller if the caller is in an area that they must speak more quietly, such as their cubicle. I can't comment on the bass, as I'm not of a treble man(though big fan of Trainor), and by no means an I am audiophile, though that probably apparent by my general love of Bluetooth headsets.The microphone on these, on the other hand, is typically great, unless I need to be a little quieter, at which point cupping my hand will often assist in getting my voice to pick up. Mic gain is a common concern for less costly headsets(pretty much all I buy) but SoundBots have been one of the least problematic in the microphone gain area.Bluetooth reception is great on these, the antenna being primarily in the right earpiece as I'm accustomed, and around my house the only issue I see is when I go outside typically. The only other time I've had concerns with Bluetooth reception is when I've placed my phone into my left pants pocket(as one of my headsets more or less required since the main antenna was to that end of that headset), my body being the interference between the phone and the SoundBots, but even then the issues were very minimal and mainly affecting the mic transmission.If I haven't been clear, the battery life on these is amazing, giving me close to 20+ hours consistently. This has been hard to gauge, as I never use them actively for more than 5 hours. As I've seen, the time to charge has been 2 hours or less on a standard 2A line. I usually let them turn themselves of before I charge. I would not say that I've seen any diminished performance with the battery, but again that's a difficult statement since I've probably only used them from fully charged to death once in the 18 month I have had them.I'm so glad these do not read the phone numbers of callers when I receive a call. They either play my ringtone if I am on sound or vibrate, or they make a distinct beep in my ear if I'm on full silence, which I typically am(about 90% of the week, including weekends).Pros:Long battery life for a lighter, ridged headsetGreat volume for musicBattery for days, if not a week plus, on a few hours a day usageGenerally a comfortable ear design though I have had some over ear pain with this "heavier" style in the past, so either I'm used to it or these are lighter than the average headset in this styleMore than decent mic gain, though I'm not doing any sort if recordingFoldable, coat/cargo pocketable designLots moreCons:Call volume can be difficult at times, especially when the caller is quieter and/or the environment is noisy for youWhat I would change or improve on them:I wish the SoundBots would read the name of the callerBluetooth 5.0 with aptxUSB type C charging and audioNano coating(I've not experienced a single issue with moisture exposure to these, but love to know that I would be safe if I did)Larger battery would not hurt 😊4.7/5 starsYou will not regret this purchase, especially if you're on a budget, real or self imposed, and want long battery life.I was not compensated for this review, and am unbiased.

As a biker, what I enjoy about this headset is that you can wear a helmet while having headphones. I always preferred headphones to earbuds because they are easier to find and don’t go right in your ear, but most headphones are over the head. This wireless headset has a sleek band so it can easily fit behind your head and fit in a small bag. You’d think that since the headphones wrap around your ear it would feel uncomfortable, but it feels nice even when I’ve been using it for hours. The sound quality is great! It also charges pretty quickly, and lasts for hours. The button controls for volume, changing songs, and pausing are easy to locate. The headphones connect pretty well to your device, but one thing to keep in mind is that you must press and hold, then waiting for the light to flash red and blue in order for it to connect. 10/10 would definitely buy again.

They have a surprisingly good sound quality for what I use them for. They fit on my head and stay on my head and are comfortable when I am jogging or riding my bike. I find the function buttons to be easy to navigate. I really like having distinct buttons instead of trying to hold some button for just the right amount of time. People do complain about the connection and connecting them to your phone can be wonky but you really need to follow the instructions closely. My only complaint is the waterproofing. Even in a fairly light drizzle if they get wet they are compromised. Mine got wet on a run and stopped working and I as soon as I got home I put them into a Ziploc with some silicon packets and left them there for 4 days and I think I revived them. But it was a close call. I would keep a Ziploc bag handy if you're out in iffy weather and get them safe and dry ASAP if it starts to drizzle. But great quality for the price. And the connectivity is really good too.

love the way it stays connected even at long distance and with a good sound quality as well. its the second time buying these and i always love how easy it is to use and how light weight it feels on the ear and it comfortable to use for long hours i love it. with the features to also controll music with the extra set of buttons is a plus.
