QuestionDoes it stay put in your ears?
Asked 8 years ago by Jon.
- Answer If you're not super active, like running on a treadmill or doing heavy cardio, then yes, they're great in the ears once you find your right sized tip. They come with 4 different sizes, so that's no problem. However, I have found that when I'm running on the treadmill they slip a little, but they have never come out of my ear entirely.

QuestionCan I shower while using these?
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Honestly, I wouldn't risk it. These are IPX4 rated, meaning they are "splash resistant" but not "waterproof". You shouldn't have issues in a light rain but showers have increased heat and pressure, making water damage far more likely. I wouldn't want anything less than an IPX6 rating for use in a shower but 7+ would be preferable, as those ratings are for continued submersion in water.

QuestionHow bass heavy are these? I like pretty heavy bass in my music. I've been using a pair of Bass Monster brand but they keep having to be replaced due to battery issues..and on that note, how well do they keep a charge?
Asked 8 years ago by MizeryMachine.
- Answer With a tight fit they sound close to the Jaybird freedoms. Once you customize the eq in the app they sound excellent for their size. No issues with holding a charge with daily use. So far as advertised

QuestionIs this compatible with iPhones 6 or newer? I have not been able to connect my phone through bluetooth.
Asked 8 years ago by Mickey7.
- Answer I think so! I use it with my iPhone 7 and iPod touch and it works well. I tried to connect it with other phones and it always connects, sometimes it only takes more time. Make sure to reset the device by pushing the main button a few times. It remembers your main device.

QuestionHas anyone used these for running? I'm worried they won't stay in my ears...
Asked 8 years ago by Dinique.
- Answer I just finished a 7 mile run with these headphones, the outside temperature was 31 degrees, so I was wearing a knit cap. When running with the cap on the headphones stayed in place very well and required no adjusting or pushing them back into my ears. I also did a test without wearing the knit cap where I found the headphones did start to work themselves out of my ears after a few minutes. I’m 6’2” 205 pounds and not the smoothest runner so this probably had something to do with that, plus the fact that these headphones have a little more size and weight to them than others I’ve had in the past, no doubt due to the construction which helps them deliver that excellent bass sound.

QuestionCan I activate iPhone Siri from the headphones?
Asked 9 years ago by WifesBirthday.
- Answer Yep! Just be sure to purchase the item compatible with Apple products. I use a iPhone 4c for work and use the inline controls without issue. You can use Siri by holding the middle button down. Just like holding the home button on your phone.
