There are a few of these that look like this out there but this one is just a little different...
Background: I listen to music at the gym for 45-120min, 6 days a week. I bought a Vaas Morph (probably a brand you've never heard of) shaped exactly like this 4.5 years ago because I got sick of having my iPhone strapped to my upper arm, and my gym bag is always somewhat nearby. I liked it so much that I bought a 2nd so I could carry both and then swap between the two when a battery died. Fast forward 2 years and one of them died. I tried to find another to no avail. I bought an Avantree Clipper and a Noisehush that is once again shaped just like these. The Clipper sounded far and away better than any of the ones shaped like this, but it was rather delicate and the clip broke within 6 months, followed by the whole thing exploding (possibly a weight dropped on it) a month or so later.The noisehush just stopped working last week.So I figured I'd try one of these.Looking at the listing it's not initially apparent that the black one of these differs not only in color, but also the "guts." It has a better BT chip (one that supports AAC, which is kinda rare) and a slightly larger battery.Now, I've only had this for a week, so I have no idea about longevity. If/when this dies I'll update the review to reflect that - assuming it's still available. But for now, just know that its initial charge has lasted a week (roughly 8.5 hours) thus far (more than any of my other ones last) and its sound is at least on par with the Clipper, if not better. (Meaning it's the best one of these I've ever used as far as sound quality goes.)Now, it's no W1/Airpod experience when it comes to BT connectivity. If I wander more than 20ft from my bag containing my iPhone X (in a VERY electronically noisy environment with LOTS of people using BT headsets) it will stutter - frankly worse than some of the other ones I've used - and takes longer to re-connect and start playing again. But once I'm back within 10 ft or so, it's been rock solid. Also, it seems to have an issue between songs slightly cutting off the first second or so. I don't know why that is, but it does tend to happen. I've grown used to it now however.Regardless, chances are good I will buy another one of these if this holds up for another month or so (or sooner if my old Morph dies sooner.) It just sounds soooo much better than the others.Other tidbits: The headphone jack is on the opposite side from the other 3 shaped like this that I've owned. Just something to adapt to I suppose.I've used the older ones with 2 different sets of Skullcandy Fix headphones, both of which have since died. My current set is a Westone Beta (High Adventure.)I prefer this setup to the now-pervasive behind the neck all-in-one BT headphones. Specifically the cable bothers me on squats and bench.Edit (Dec 2019): I bought a 2nd one of these shortly after I wrote the above (partially because it went on sale.) So I've been using both (in rotation so one is always fully charged) since then. I am clearly not overly careful with my gym bag because I broke one of these at some point. It's still fully functional as I just broke the bottom 1/3 of one of the clips. This means it simply doesn't stay clipped to my shirt as well and I have to be a bit more careful with its placement as the edges are sharp. But honestly I don't think about it much.I now store them in a hard case when I'm not using them to hopefully prevent further damage like this.At this point battery life still seems to be what I would hope for. Sound is the same as well. I will say that the low battery warning and the point where it powers off tend to be identical - meaning it just shuts off with no warning. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than the loud annoying beeps that would go off for 5+ minutes before shutoff that other brands tended to have. It's just different.But honestly, beyond that, zero complaints. The things just blend into the background of my workouts - which is exactly what I want. Even if they died tomorrow I'd consider it money well spent and buy two more.

Good thing for my motorcycle helmet
I bought this to add Bluetooth audio to my full-face motorcycle helmet. It seems to work good. Audio quality is excellent, although it really doesn't get too loud using my speakers, which is probably a good thing to protect my hearing. My speakers are $50 Cardo HD/JBL 40mm. It is loud enough to hear on my Goldwing, but may not be suitable for loud bikes. The problem is you have noise from not only the bike, but also the wind. In comparison, the various Cardo Motorcycle Communication Systems will produce much louder audio, and provide communication functionality, but cost way more. I don't need comms, and this is plenty loud enough, so it works for me. I had to subtract one star since it took 9 days to get the thing from Amazon though.

Great quality
So this solved a dumb problem I had been having with earbuds. I go through a pair of Bluetooth earbuds about one per year. Unfortunately, newer models have started removing buttons. I miss my skip forward/back buttons, and holding the volume up/down for 2 seconds to skip was frustrating me. I tried a couple of earbuds that still came with all 5 buttons (skip/volume/pause), but found battery life was lacking and the signal strength was weak, not to mention the less than perfect sound.This thing solves all of that. The battery lasts a long time, Bluetooth stays connected even thru exterior walls of my house, and it has all 5 buttons! I plug cheap corded earbuds in when I want to listen, but I also plug a cord in from my DJ mixer and can easily add music from my phone when I am working. I can't recommend it enough. It works perfectly.

sound quality is indistinguishable from a hardware jack
it's still early on, but if the device keeps working this well then there's no need to trade sound quality for bluetooth support.you can focus on buying good headphones rather than 'just ok' ones that include their own Bluetooth receiver.battery life, signal strength are as described in other reviews, and i also don't doubt the clip will break if you're not careful. but those cons don't outweigh the utility imho.

Good sound, compact, easy ... but
NICE:Very compactHandy clipGood sound qualityEasy paringEasy to useBUT:Latency is very high. This is of little concern for simply listening to music, podcast, etc. If you need to sync well with video or other audio source, it is difficult to get perfect sync. with video, TV or another sound source.This unit is described as an "updated" one. If there is a better performing version, I will be glad to receive it and update this review.

Excellent and very practical product - highly recommended.
This is a very practical product: I can keep using the wired headphones that I have and at the same time have a Bluetooth connection with my phone with this device. For example, when running I'll keep this little thumb-sized device in my hand and easily forward track, pause, increase/decrease volume easily on the go by feeling and without having to look.The alternative is a direct wired connection to the mobile phone, which in the past has resulted in my dropping my phone as a result of getting tangled or on the way; and additionally not convenient to control the basic music player functions (volume and skipping track).In summary: an excellent and very practical product.Note: The looks are rather basic; frankly not the best aesthetics. But technically it functions perfectly: easy connection, great sound, and long battery life.

Randomly shuts down
I am a welder and listen to audiobooks. When striking an arc, the electricity shorts the receiver out and shuts it down. Multiple times back to back, have to restart bluetooth. Not ideal for welding but possibly great for other professions.
