Headphones

[jhc005]

I picked these up and they are pretty awesome. The only thing I don't like and it could just be me, but when I switch my phone from different bluetooth option, like the headphones then the car, when I go back to the headphones they do not always want to connect despite them stating they are connected. I often have to delete them and go through a brand new connection.

Both my AirPods and beats do that. It drives me crazy!

I prefer the ear buds but due to the concern of making people deaf they don't seem to have much volume. So now I'm using headphones and hate how sweaty they get. Are the ear buds you speak of have lots of volume or have they been tuned down ?

I have done something to my iPhone that’s caused both my headphones and my car (Apple music) to have low volume and no bass. So, no worries about losing my hearing. I bought the over the head beats. The last two days I’ve had sweaty ears.

I wear over the ear instead of buds, I have the Audio Technica ATH-M50BT2. They are unbelievable. They are pretty much pro grade studio headphones. When I get back in my car that has a top end factory sony stereo with 13 speakers it sounds poor in comparison. I have not found any buds that can even come close in sound quality. Downside is you have these big headphones on and 2 years I have had them no probs but eventually sweat will get them.

Wow I will have to look them up if they have lasted you 2 years!

I forgot my Bose headphones at home one day and was too bothered and frustrated to go back home and get them. So I went to the Big Lots next to the gym and found a $20 pair of SoundCore over ear headphones just to have music for one workout and then serve as backups to the $200+ Bose ones.

They came with a medium charge and had better sound than my Bose, easy to hear the difference in perceived bass and clarity and total volume, everything was better.

A full charge lasts me a freaking month of workouts. And I’ve had them for 3 years now. The black on the foam is almost gone. The foam is coming apart on my beard and neck slowly but surely. The charging port is a little loose. They smell a wee bit. And they don’t hug my head quite as tight as they used to.

But they still bang. And they still last dozens of hours per charge.

Don’t know the model. Probably never find them again. And maybe my pair is the Cal Ripken of headphones and a lucky outlier.

@SAD this look as worn out as my JBL’s. On mine the ear piece’s are pretty much just foam except the outer most ring (the part that people actually see). I feel a bit like a Hoosier for continuing to wear them but they still work great. I’ve got a new identical pair on hand for when the time comes.

A month! I have to change mine every to every other day. Thank you! I will have to look up Soundcore.

They have been around the world with me. I take good care of them of course but they are the best I have ever had. There are others that sound as good or better but they are more $$$.

Con: Not noise cancelling. They do not add this feature as it can mute some sounds in the music.

They also have a jack to hardwire the headphones as bluetooth you do loose some sound quality. Most phones do not have a jack anymore. I have an old pixel 4 I use as an MP3 player, this is extreme but I am an audiophile. This is where they are their best. Blue tooth they are as good as my old $389 Bose headphones but they are cheaper. Also battery life is incredible. Not 6-7 hours but like 80 hours if you listen at moderate volume. I charge them 4-5 times a year.

Yeah, my noise cancelling pro’s messed up due to the noise cancelling option. one of the pods had an annoying sound to it.
The battery time is amazing!

I been using these for years. At the gym and work. I'm in construction and work outside all day. I'll put one bud in and use it till it dies then swap it. Usually 4-6 hrs. They are cheap but the quality is not that bad.

I have Beats headphones too. There nice and loud and I keep getting warnings to turn it down and I wonder why I'm deaf in one ear and can't hear in the other. I think Beats give the most value for your money although the earbuds have been tuned down. I only paid 29.99 for my headphones and they sound pretty damn good.
