much better MP3 than any other
on July 17, 2015
Posted by: whatsthepointofanickname
Way better than any other Mp3 player Ive used or heard of. simply having no wire going from headphone to mp3 player makes all the difference. As far as I can see, I dont know why anyone would buy any other MP3 or Ipod.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bad experience
on August 3, 2015
Posted by: Schiller
Before I had this model I had the previous one which is the one without the S at the end.
The first broken after almost 1 year of use, one of the headsets stopped working and the warranty said that they could not fix it so I received my money back, also had a lot more problems with it during this period. Then I got the new model which is this one. I already have this one for almost 6 months and starting to have issues with it, like: battery is not charging and I have a feeling that in the near future it will break too.
I was using it for running and also for gym workouts, rarely for swimming.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

very difficult to stay on ears
on July 17, 2015
Posted by: pr1ncekareem1
music sound is great but the lack of being able to firmly tighten/and or lock around your ear makes it difficult to have a high intensity workout that involves a lot of running and jumping. would be super if it was a sport clip design for the headphones
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I started swimming last year to train for my first triathlon and it was fun, and this year I started to train so I can get better at swimming but sometimes the training can be boring so when I got these headphones it was just awesome. I am not bored while swimming any more. I am enjoying.

What could have been the greatest Walkman
on January 10, 2018

Untethered, lightweight mp3 player that could've been the perfect iPod killer. Music quality is okay, lots of features for navigating music without a screen and I love the format. Sadly, plagued by the "dock" that needs a computer to recharge via USB, why can't it just charge from your standard USB wall adapter... no idea! Battery life was spotty at best, it does seem to charge rapidly but never got close to half the lifetime advertised. I don't understand why every time I want to use it after a week or two, battery is dead but immediately after plugging it in, it says 80%. Not really comfortable, it could have been better with over-the-ear type instead of buds but I understand the trade-off (lower volume/better noise proofing, battery life, smaller footprint etc...). The "mechanism" for adjusting the fit is not really high-tech, it's just an elastic band that will slip with "sporty" uses. I really wanted to love this thing, and when it works, it's great. Too many times has it become bricked or wouldn't work until a full reset needing a computer. The software "Media Go" needed to operate is only slightly better than iTunes but at least you can copy paste mp3s directly like a thumb drive. Out of the two I got, one never really worked correctly and was sent back and the other only works after being charged.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazing, can't swim without them anymore

I've had it for a few years now and it's awesome, the noise quality is great and it keeps the water out your ears, and the controls are very simple but you still have different folder options ect, the only thing I can comment on is the charger, take care of your charger! I am now searching for one online because if I want to charge it I have to hold it a certain way, not ideal
I would recommend this to a friend!
