Bottom Line

If you want Bluetooth headphones that produce excellent sound quality, then this is what you're looking for.

Pros

High music quality in Bluetooth headphones that fit comfortably, even with glasses. Advertised noise reduction works. Battery life lasts the advertised 8 hours, and there’s a lifetime warranty.

Cons

Bulky design makes this the wrong choice for those who wear a helmet or hat. Large, non-adjustable earloops can be unstable during vigorous exercise.

Bottom Line

A solid, comfortable model that’s particularly good for movies, videos, podcasts and audiobooks.

Pros

Light and thin with a hinged design to make slipping on the earloops easy. Good fit with glasses and helmets. More comfortable than other models. Average music sound quality but crisp and clear for non-music audio.

Cons

Not a snug fit, which leads to weak bass and a softer volume. Don’t always stay put during exercise.

Good sound quality in a model with a convenient retractable cord, making it a great choice for exercising.

Pros

Above-average sound quality in small, lightweight headphones. Comfortable for people with small and average ears. Fit is snug enough for exercise. Hinged design makes these easy to put on. Retractable cord.

Cons

Short 39-inch cord. Wires are more delicate than in other models. May not be a good fit for larger ears or under helmets and hats.

Bottom Line

Appropriate for those with glasses and helmets because of its thin design. Also stays put when exercising.

Uncomfortable for some. Concerns about the cheap plastic feel of the ear clips.
