I bought this for watching movies on my iPad in bed. I used to have in-ear earbuds but those were painful on the ears when laying on your side. I’ve read reviews where they mention it’s not good for side sleepers, but compared to in-ear earbuds, I have to disagree. Yes, you can FEEL the hard plastic against your ear when you’re laying on your side, but it’s nowhere near as uncomfortable as earbuds because these are flat and quite comfortable.
PROS:
Sound quality is very good for the price. I only use it for watching movies in bed and they let me hear everything perfectly. No complaints.
Battery life is very good. I’ve had this for a few days and haven’t needed to charge yet.
Connects to Bluetooth very quickly.
The buttons are simple and tactile.
CONS:
I have a pretty big head and in order to use this while still being able to see, I have to angle it on my head so the front is on my forehead and the back is behind my neck. It’s causing some unwanted folding at the back. Feels like it would be a lot more comfortable as a sleep mask.
The “POWER ON/OFF” and “CONNECTED” announcements are SUPER LOUD with no apparent way to turn down. It’s fine for me because I just take it off before turning on or off. If your intent is to use this for sleeping, you might get a rude awakening if the battery goes critical while you’re asleep.
UPDATE (1 year later):
This is still working great. The battery life is excellent. Pleased to report that I was wrong about the ‘rude awakening’. If the battery goes low while you’re using it, there is no super loud announcement. It just switches off. This is safe to use for sleeping!
