Cootree Wireless Headphone Sports Headset with Built in Microphone,Bluetooth Headphones Behind The Head,Foldable and Carried in The Purse, Black/Red

Best sport headphones I've found for the gym, biking, running, or any activity. They fit well with a hat or sunglasses, and fit snugly.They don't last forever maybe 2 years of heavy use, but I'll get another pair because every other design ive tried can't comare.There's an annoying blue LED when connected, but I cover it with some black tape.

All of these headset types appear to be designed for exercise and work well for that purpose, however, I ordered these specifically for sleeping. Reviews on other Bluetooth headsets designed for such a purpose were convincingly lukewarm. I have used headsets similar to this model previously for sleep so I chose these based on my previous experiences. I prefer over-ear headsets which are difficult to find, and these are quite comfortable.HEAD BANDThis model fits very securely and the thin spring-like band connecting the two over-ear ear pieces provides some significant advantages over the hard bands on other models.The spring-like nature allows the band to expand or contract to fit any size head and neck. When expanding, the coil near the ear stretches and the ear pieces rotate while staying securely in place over the ear. The band always stays snug to the back of the head without gaps. Aside from general comfort, this is one of the features that makes sleeping with them possible as pressure on a loose, hard band does not dislodge the headphones from their position.The thinness of the cable is small enough to rest over the ear without causing uncomfortable pinching during sleep. I am not an active sleeper, but I do change sides several times during the night. The band, while noticeable, is still comfortable enough to sleep when sandwiched between my head and ear against a pillow.EAR PADSThe ear pads are a padded thin vinyl, presumably to resist sweat. I find the light padding very comfortable for sleeping and not so padded that the headphones are not secure in position.CONTROLSThe majority of the controls are on the outside face of the right ear piece. There are subtle raised symbols but it is difficult to distinguish them by feel. Regular use of these headphones provides familiarity for the 4 main buttons. The buttons are very low profile and require enough effort to press that when sleeping, it is unlikely the buttons will ever be pressed unintentionally as I change position or rest with buttons into the pillow.In distinction from other designs, the volume controls are actually on the outside rim of the right ear piece. This is ideal for sleeping as it is not possible to unintentionally depress these. The are also slightly raised and intuitively placed so that it is easy to locate them for use when resting or exercising.SOUNDThis is the area for which I deducted a star. The sound quality is not as good as similar, over-the-ear, Bluetooth models. The sound is a bit tinny and lacks bass (which is desirable for exercise mode). The sound also has a muffled quality, perhaps due to the padded ear cover. That said, the purpose of these for sleep and exercise to some extent demands comfort and secureness of fit over sound quality. The sound is loud enough to psyche up for some treadmill time or walking up steep hills and the quality is adequate at both loud and soft levels. Since listening to music critically for quality appreciation was not the primary reason for this headset choice, I can't penalize the product by more than 1/2 a star, although if you're looking for something to enjoy classical music on a 10 hour plane flight, this might not be the set for you.LIGHTSThis is another 1/2 star deduct. These do have exceptionally bright blue/red LEDs which are quite bright during pairing and charge. There is also a continual blue flashing light during use. As the wearer, it is not possible to see the flashing light, but I imagine this could annoy others using adjacent gym equipment or other passengers on a plane. I will likely put an adhesive sticker over the LED to tone this down a bit.

Headset used over my hearing aid. I still need to turn them down even without the hearing aid. We just came back from a road trip and I sat in the passenger seat and used my Samsung Note 3 with bluetooth from this headset for turn by turn directions and had a local radio station playing on the Note 3 at same time. Plus I received a phone call that required everything working the same time. A lot to say about Samsung Note 3, but I had other headsets in the pass cut out when jumping from maps, phone & etc. Headset picks up voice commands without repeating your self. I never drive with them on, they block both ears which is a no no in this state. Not to look like Mickey Mouse when shopping, I only wear one headphone over right ear and let the band go down back of neck and the left earphone rest with speaker down on left side of neck. This way your left ear is free to hear ))) around you for your own safety. No need to buy that one ear type over the head Bluetooth phone/mike that don't work on media play anyhow. Because of the Note 3 smartphone I can view short net news clips or listen to live local news for hours with one or two ears. One ear use is real handy and I can hear customers the same time when helping out on my outdoor food vending carts. You don't look like some fast food drive thru with head band over your hat and mike in your face. Most customers don't even notice, because you turn your open ear to them for friendly personal service. You smartphone is high and dry in you pocket, at the same time you are only one touch away from any phone orders or emergency call out if needed. Have used them 10-12 hours a day with no extra recharge. Brought another one for a gift using prime 2 day service. (Forget it.) Tracking shows fast shipping to first point/location. Then next day it shows no other locations. After few more days you check tracking and see item not moving and more delay days added. Now what? You email and make phone calls to Amazon. They tell me found item that has been 3 miles from my house at UPS for last 2 days which will make it over 7 days to get here. Oh, UPS sometimes turns small items over to your local post office to be dropped off by mail man adding delay time. Save your money on shipping just use normal ship. I got stuck for $99 for prime service and all they tell you when you inquire is they understand. This is not the first time (3 out of 7 items late) They are not the one out shopping for another gift real quick, because they failed. Don't depend on prime service. I always been known to tell it like it is, period..
