Great pair of headphones!

This has been a great pair of headphones. The bluetooth connection works really well, and the battery life is pretty long (I can go about 4-5 days on a charge, no problem). In addition, I can verify that the waterproofing works, as I accidentally put them in the washing machine and dryer, and expected it to not work, but it is working fine. So while I don't suggest you put in the washer, at least the waterproofing is solid.
I use the headphones with my Apple Watch, and the connection is great, as I don't have to lug around my bulky iPhone 6+ anymore. But one thing to note is that you should put your iPhone in airplane mode so that it does not break its bluetooth connection. I found that out the hard way when my workout kept getting interrupted at the gym because the headphones would get confused (or it was the Apple Watch, regardless, it kept dropping my connection to my music). Putting the phone in airplane mode solved the problem.
Sound quality is really good, and the controls on the headphones are also simple to use. I do think that the backward track option is a little clunky, but it still works. The headphones fit comfortably on and in your ears. The only part that gets in the way is the strap which sometimes gets caught in my cap, but no really big annoyance. I haven't really tried the phone option yet, because these are mainly used for workouts and the point was for me not to have to lug my phone around and use my Apple Watch instead. Also confirmed that this works well connecting with an iPad too.
PROS: long battery life, voice tells you the status of your battery when you turn it on, it's waterproof (laundry washer certified, lol), fits comfortably in your ears, good sound (not a lot of bass, but decent), easy connection, simple controls.
CONS: backward track command is clunky, strap can get in the way sometimes, seems to get confused if multiple bluetooth options available, once the battery is low, it starts dying pretty fast (all of these are pretty minor complaints).

"Power is Everything." This is the law of Tekken. All seek it. All are consumed by it. In the end, all bow to its immutable logic. Each warrior has a unique motivation for entering the 6th King of the Iron Fist Tournament: Respect. Vengeance. Honor. Righteousness. Family.

Tekken 6 does have some great things going for it. It has beautiful graphics, more characters, and enhanced gameplay features, like the new Rage system. However, there are some changes made that I didn't care for as much. Certain characters lost some of their moves/attacks that were essential to winning, for example Ling Xiaoyu does not have her side somersault that she used to avoid attacks. This type of maneuver is key to Ling's fighting style and is sorely missed. The load times are really long, but I just read in another review that this is solved by installing the game on the HDD, so I will try that. In addition, one of the best things about the Tekken series is the music. I don't like the music in this game as much as previous versions. Overall, Tekken 6 is more like a step to the side rather than a step up or down. If you are a fan of the series, it's a must own, but if you are new, I would suggest getting Tekken 5: DR. It still does get my recommendation though.
What's great about it: Graphics look better, more characters, nice gameplay like Rage system
What's not so great: Some characters have lost their best moves, load times, music not as good
