These headphones have both great quality sound and hip appearance! Using them while working in the yard, exercising or streaming on the go they met all my needs. The charge lasted days! My teenage son has decided that he needs them more than I do so that tells you the product satisfies the young and the not so old.

Great wireless inear headphones for active people

These in-ear headphones work great and pair easily with my devices. I like the cord as it is rugged and almost looks like a gray shoelace. The in-ear I thought out of the box was large but after fitting in my ear it felt comfortable. There are two different ways you can wear these and there are multiple sizes. The time is very close to what is stated on the box. I like these and the bag it comes with. I would buy another pair.

Good Fit and Sound Quality

The level of customization with the many ear tips makes this a good option for many. They are comfortable once you find the right tips that work for you. They hold a charge and stay in place when it's important and look good overall. I like these and look forward to wearing them often.

Pack a punch but has a few flaws.

I've been using these headphones for a few days straight. What I can tell is that these headphones pack a pretty good punch when it comes to bass. They do get pretty loud as well compared to most wireless buds. They are good when it comes to hip-hop and electronic music. But they are a little "boomy" in some songs and it gets a little over baring but overall good audio quality. The call quality is really good. All the people I talked to on the phone noticed the difference right away. The mic has good voice isolation. They even said they couldn't even hear my car blinker that they used to hear with my wired buds.
The Adidas Headphones App is awesome for battery life monitoring, and setting up the the custom button. You can use the custom button for your assistant and for direct link to spotify playlists and artists. I have an Android, and from the time of writing this review the App Equalizer is absolutely horrible. Anytime you change anything on the equalizer other than the "Adidas" preset the music quality is horrible. It sounds like your listening to a really bad mp3 in a tunnel. I dont know if it's an android bug but it is awful.
The build quality is awesome, but has a few poor design choices. The buds themselves are a little on the bulky side, but have a really cool look. I love the feel and comfort of the "shoe lace" cable, but it's a little too short. When you turn your head and sometimes the cable will pull the earbud on the opposite side. Especially if you went to adjust volume and slightly pull on the cable. It gets caught in my collar sometimes as well. That being said the buds themself fit pretty snug and wont go anywhere.
Unfortunately, I'm a person that the silicone on the ear bud fits in one ear perfect, but the other not so perfect. I tried all the combinations of tips as well. So I do get some discomfort from extended listening, but your mileage may vary.
The battery life is awesome! I've accidentally left them on for very long periods of time and they never died. I decided to charge them for 10-15 minutes after a few days of use. They went from 20% to 60% in that short time. Very awesome charge times and battery life.
So if you're looking for some solid workout wireless headphones that have awesome battery life and good sound quality these are a decent choice.

Bad fit, static and cuts out

I could not get them to fit.
They come with 4 sizes of ear wings and 4 sizes earbuds, but I could not find a combination that would work. They will not stay in my ears or even at my ears even when doing nothing but sitting still to listen to music. There's no way I could use these doing any activity or at all. I always need the smallest earbuds so I had my teenage son try them to see if he could find a combination that would work for him, no luck. He couldn't use them either, they just fall out.
I held them to my ears to listen to but the sound kept cutting out and there was static coming through.
The app has several equalizer options. You can also customize the single button on the left and check the status of the battery and connection in the app.
The knitted band is comfortable and light. The buttons are set quite high but still easy to find by touch.
It comes with a nice carrying pouch with the Adidas logo and a short charging cable.
I received this product in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Awesome for Running

If you like to run, finding the right in ear headphones is difficult. These in ear headphones fit comfortably, don't fall out, and have great sound. Pairing was very easy. They are connected with a sports friendly nylon cord so if one would fall out, you wouldn't loose it. Comes with different size ear fittings to ensure these fit snug and comfortably in your ear. Very happy with these.

Giant Sound From Giant Ear Buds

Buyers remorse is a real thing and it's name today is Adidas FWD-01 wireless ear buds. These buds were well over a Benjamin Franklin when I got them which means someone got robbed!
My main complaint is the design of these beasts. Out of the box the size of these things is astronomical (see attached picture), I mean its like plugging planets into your head to listen to the Frozen 2 soundtrack! There are interchangeable "wings" and rubber buds to make them fit better and I appreciate that, but aesthetically they're just huge no matter what you stick in your ear.
The sound is wonderful but truthfully no better than the $8.00 wired gummi headphones I used to use or the $20.00 budget blutooth buds I got from the grocery store. The cord is wrapped in a shoelace type cloth and has buttons to control the volume up and down as well as a middle button to power on and off/pair/skip track depending how many times you push it and for how long. There is also a mysterious 4th button on the left bud side, which is a customizable "action" button that interfaces with the Adidas app somehow (I don't need an Adidas app so I have no idea what this button could be made to do, surely not shrink the Everest size of the buds).
They're supposedly sweat proof and work for 16 hours between charges but I don't sweat enough to damage headphones and even though I use them no more than 3-4 hours per day I still charge every night to get a fresh start each day.
I don't recommend these, there are tons of much cheaper headphones that look nicer and do the same thing (minus cryptic 4th "action" button). They're not bad or garbage but they just don't live up to the value that I can see after several weeks of use.
