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

Wall plugs?!? With SoundBots you can neglect the plugs…
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.

Great headphones
I have purchased these headphones 3 times already, both for myself and as a present. and have been thoroughly impressed with their performance. These headphones deliver outstanding sound quality for the price point. One of the standout features is their design—unlike typical in-ear models, these sit comfortably on the outside of your ears, providing a secure fit without the need for invasive earbuds.Overall, these headphones offer incredible value, combining excellent audio performance and battery-life with a comfortable, ear-friendly design. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great sound without the discomfort of in-ear options.

These headphones blew me away, aside from a few minor gripes at $20 these are a steal. The battery life is amazing and the extra cushions are perfect on the ears, my fav work out headphones by far 😀 They WILL NOT fall off or loosen during HiiT weight sessions or long distance runs. I REALLY hope they last, cause these are amazing, the buttons are perfectly placed and work great. They even fold up and can easily be tucked away! I will update this review if/when they break but so far so good!The only negatives I can think of are the range, you will want your phone or mp3 player on your or a couple meters away at most which is perfectly fine as a workout headset. Looking upwards while wearing these dont restrict your movement but they do tighten and it can feel like it though and is just a minor thing you get use to after wearing em a few times. I noticed others mentioning how much they can hurt, let me tell you I am the king of sensitive ears. Mine are big and protrude so its hard to find anything but earbuds that dont kill my ears in writhing pain after 10-15 mins. These do cause me a lil discomfort after a 30 min intensive workout but its so minor that when I take em off my ears are perfectly fine. Coming from someone with ears as sensitive as me that says ALOT that I rarely feel any discomfort from them, these are definitely the most comfy on the ear headphones ive used and ive tried ALOT of over the years! Lastly is the sound, not the actual sound in your ears as its pretty clear and goes pretty high imo, if you like your music nice and loud these headphones dont do alot for bystanders. These arent something you could wear in a library, at school or any real public venue imo without being one of those rude obnoxious people. Great for gaming, workouts at home, and runs in the park or around the block though.

Sound: very goodLittle bit delay..but okBatt: very goodPhone call: sound is good..but need to speak a bit loud
