Listen to your music in comfort with these SOL REPUBLIC Shadow 1140-01 in-ear headphones, which feature Bluetooth 4.0 technology for simple wireless pairing with up to 2 compatible devices and a soft, lightweight design for extended use.

Verified Purchase:Yes
From early reviews of this product, I was expecting a great successor to the oft-seen LG Tone bluetooth headphones that I was well accustomed to. However, the Sol Shadow's major issue is that it slips off my neck. It's also relatively light, so sometimes it falls off and I barely notice it's happening. Not only that, but the lack of some kind of holster for the earbuds means that if you don't have both in your ears they swing around quite a bit. If you tuck the free earbuds in your shirt collar, the band is more likely to slip off of your neck.
Not only that, but the battery life compares poorly to the LG Tone. I used to go almost two whole days before needing to charge my previous headphones and my usage was several active hours per day and standby up to 8 hours per day. I'd be lucky if the Sol Shadow would last more than a single day with regular use, I find that if I listen to them most of the morning (4+ hours) they will almost certainly be dead by day's end.
If the Shadow was my first pair of bluetooth headphones, I might find them more impressive. Certainly their style is nice and the quality of the sound is superior to competitors. But practical considerations are king for me, and poor fit + poor battery life make this a purely average product. Not to mention their price exceeds the LG Tone, which I would much more readily suggest.
