With these JBL EVEREST 100 V100BTBLK wireless earbud headphones, you can rock out while you work out without worrying about messy cables. Bluetooth 4.1 technology enables simple wireless pairing, and JBL Pro Audio Sound ensures rich audio performance.

I bought these after my Sony SBH80s died on me in less than a year. I wanted a pair of BT earbuds that were "low profile" and not make you look like you have wine corks sticking out of your ears like the Jaybirds and pretty much any other set sold on BB do. These fit the bill nicely.
The look fat, but most of the bulk rests in the inner groove of your ear so they don't stick out much at all. They're light, comfortable, provide a good seal and most importantly, stay in my ears.
Also, while they don't sound as nice as Sony's SBH80 (which were the best sounding BT earbuds I've ever listen too), they sound better than some of the other reviews here suggest. You have to remember that these are bluetooth. The sound they send is compressed and will always sound worse than a comparably priced pair of wired headphones.
The battery life is also excellent and truly last the 8 hours advertised, which is better than my old pair.
My only gripes are that they don't feel as premium as they should for the price and don't have the Aptx codec (which they really should come with for the price).
If I were to be completely honest, I don't think they're worth $100. But I bought them on sales for $80 and also had a $20 gift card to apply. For that price I think they're well worth it if you are looking for a decent pair of very small, unobtrusive looking BT earbuds with excellent battery and pretty decent sound quality.

Okay if keeping it near your router

Bought it for my dad who only need a PC for web surfing and typing some stuff on Word. Also needed a big screen since his eye sight isn't so great anymore. This one seemed perfect for the price. Was easy to set up and everything work well EXCEPT the wireless connection. It was set up two rooms away from our router so I knew there would be some degradation of signal strength but it was just plain awful. My Internet speed is 50Mbps down and 25 Mbps up. With every other device, including the 7-year old laptop this PC was supposed to replace, I would get at least 20Mbps down and 15 up from that room. With this Lenovo I got less than 2Mbps down and 8Mbps up. I iknow it was the PC and not my connection or router because I did speed tests on the old laptop which was right next to this new PC and it was still getting 20-25Mbps down. 1-2 Mbps is simply unacceptable!
I called Lenovo support to see if it was a hardware or driver issue but after doing a bunch of diagnostic stuff, including remoting to my PC, they told me that everything looked fine. So I took the PC and placed it right next to my router. Sure enough, it got 47Mbps down and 25 Mbps up. So it's painfully obvious that Lenovo decided to use a cheap wireless adapter in this system -- one that begins to degrade significantly as you move just a few feet from your router. Btw, my router is one of the best on the market so its definitely the cheap tech in this PC.
So if youn plan on using this PC near your router or with a LAN connection, it should be fine. HOWEVER, if you plan on using it in another room, even one right next to the room with the router, look elsewhere.
