Boean Bluetooth Headphones, Wireless Headphones with 16 Hours Playtime Bluetooth 5.3 Wireless Earbuds HD Deep Bass Stereo Sound Isolation IPX7 Waterproof Earphones for Workout Running Sports

I continue to love this brand and particular model. The tech used by this product has been copied hundreds of times and you will find multiple variations available for sale. I've bought several, and this one is the best. The main differences are the way the bud stays secured in your ear, the type of USB connector to plug into the charging cord, and (oddly) whether the British woman's voice says "YOUR HEADPHONES ARE CONNECTED" or just "CONNECTED". (They all say "BATTERY LOW" in the same manner, so that's just a strange difference.)What I like #1 is the connector. This uses a USB-C connector, so (as the older type require) you don't have to try inserting it, realize it's upside down, turn it around, try again.What I like #2 is the way it secures. Another design had a soft plastic mesh "finger" that would lock it into place on your ear, but that thing always seemed to slip out of place. This model has the securing element built-in to the design of the earbud. So with an easy twist forward, it's locked in.And #3, it's the full version of "YOUR HEADPHONES ARE CONNECTED". Not that it's any big deal, but it seems almost like evidence that they didn't skimp, and paid the lady for 3 extra words. (LOL, probably not)They do seem to make improvements with each updated model number. There are a couple of tactile elements to the design that make it easier to identify where the button is (for pause/play, etc.).I don't actually use these sitting up or running, however. My use is predominantly for bedtime white noise. (I have a particular gentle-thunderstorm track that plays on repeat all night long.) I'm a side sleeper, so any time I get up to shift sides, I swap one bud in, the other out, and just leave the other bud loose at the edge of the pillow. It works well for this purpose.But I'm replacing a prior model where I must have squashed the free bud, and after about a year, something got sensitive and started shorting out the sound. (no visible cord or bud damage, so it could have been ordinary device failure) But for the price, it didn't upset me. We'll see how this holds up over the year, but so far, it's all good.Sound quality is good, going plenty loud enough (for my purposes anyway). I tend to dislike heavy bass (which causes permanent hearing loss anyway), and this doesn't really have that, so it's a good match for ME. If you wanted that low-end inner-ear-damaging bass, this won't really deliver. (I already pay the price for my youth with constant tinnitus -- kids, take care of your hearing! The loud ringing 24/7 for the rest of your life seriously sucks. -- And no, the tinnitus is not because I listen to quiet rain sounds all night long, they are on low volume, and I had it long before starting to do this - the rain sounds are just to calm my thoughts.)Speaking of which, it has a good seal on your ear that really does help block noise. (Sometimes I'm so tired that I forget to start the rain track, and it does a good job blocking those insects and highway noises.)

This may seem like a long dissertation to some, but I'll try to be brief as possible and explain my headline.I always read the five star reviews first, the one stars last. That gives me a better perspective of what people expect and don't get or what is wrong with the product. I reviewed other headsets and finalize my choice with this unit. I had others w/o the cable connection. You know the ones', they look like "big bugs" in you ear! Cut to the chase, I lost two, from different units! The hell with that! I did get another unit with a cable and it worked good but the earbud came off..."one-ear Joe". So, perusing the different units, I looked at several advertised on Amazon. Price was not an important issue even tho I paid much higher before. I wanted something to stay fixed in my ear or on it. Being used to hearing aids, this type of set appealed to me. I'M GETTING THERE. Ok. Give this set a try.(I paid $65 for an LG several years ago, and one bud went South). So I figured I would pay minimal this time around. If it isn't going to last, I' m not out too much. Continuing, I bought the Boean for $19.95( this one is advertised for less...same unit, reduced to $15). The colored ones' are more for whatever reason. Lastly, The unit I received works as advertised...I was satisfied. However, here's the rub. I could only hear on the right ear piece when playing recorded music! Damn!( I had my wife listen as well and she confirmed that, yes, it is lower than the right. and she has ears that pick up a pin drop. The one star I read had the same problem!! Huh! Here's where it gets better. I contacted the company. Bobby, the contact person said to reboot...and re-try. Nope! So, in good faith of their product, they sent me ANOTHER new set that arrived within three days. Talk about good service! And he didn't even ask for me to return the so-called defective unit. Lastly, I paired the new set...works good with phone calls. The caveat I have here is, my Samsung Galaxy Z5 fold won't let music come through at the same volume as the right one.The left bud for whatever reason is lower of which I am going to investigate further. In a final desperate experiment, I tried and paired both sets to two older phone; one an LG and one an older Galaxy. THEY BOTH WORKED GREAT. The sound was not impaired coming from the left bud. In conclusion, there isn't anything wrong with either sets....it's my Samsung....for now. Why music won't come through is but a mystery for now. My accolades to Bobby and the company for responding several times. Lastly, products produced can go bad whether it's cars; DVD's; washing machines. The bottom line is; if the company makes good, then that's all we can expect in today's society. I'm done!

I tried several other waterproof headphones before landing on these. These stay on my head fairly well. I can put my swim cap over them and they stay put. The charge holds for several swims. I swim for 40 ish minutes at a time several days a week and charge them once a week. They are loud enough for me- I mostly listen to podcasts so I can’t speak to music quality. The only thing I would caution on is… when I get far away from them or my head is underwater for too long the connection seems to have trouble for a second but then works quickly after. I haven’t figured out if it’s a distance thing or items in the way or water depth… it doesn’t happen frequently enough for it to be a huge issue for me.
