    Like most Anker products, great for the cost

    If anyone is looking for some cheap bluetooth headphones for every-day use(not as much exercise in my opinion) these things aren't half bad. Less than $40. Battery lasts ages. Pretty comfortable and very light. Lots of ear-piece options in the box. Can be used with or without the cartilage holders. For me though they are not for working out in. The neckband seems to bounce around too much for that. For airplanes/everyday wearing they seem great. Sound quality is passable, not groundbreaking but passable for sure. Bass is there without being too distorted, highs are moderately crisp. Nothing spectacular but they don't sound nearly as cheap as they are. They seem great for throw-around cheap airplane headphones and that sort of thing. Like most Anker products they hit a bit above their price range. I would absolutely suggest these for those wanting a set of cheap throw-around travel headphones that are actually not bad to use.

    Quite a bit of room for improvement

    Straight off the bat I'm going to point out my three biggest gripes with the headphones. 1. In terms of comfort it's good but it could be better. Anker uses a semi-flexible type of plastic which is easy to clean but if they used an even softer, more flexible material I think this would be more comfortable to use. The neckband for me doesn't fit that great but it'll do. 2. The sound quality on these are questionable. They retail for the same price as the SoundBuds Slim, which ere amazing sounding headphones for the price, and yet they sound extremely flat and low volume. 3. They need to do away with the hard plastic buttons. When you have to hold the button down for 3 seconds to turn it on the hard plastic will make it more uncomfortable. Now that's out of the way I'm going to point off all the things I do like about the headphones. When the neckband headphone craze popped off because of Apple's Beats X, Anker seemed to be the first ones to create their own unique design which I appreciate. 2. The earbuds themselves are nice and the earhooks are comfortable. 3. They charge relatively quickly. 4. The magnetic earbuds make it easy to prevent tangling of cords. 5. Lightweight. 6. Ability to have one earbud in ear without the other dragging the headset down. I really want to love these headphones but the lack of flexibility and sound quality really makes me not want to pick these up over my SoundBuds Slim or just regular earbuds for that matter. Hopefully with Anker's new "SoundCore" line they'll improve this neckband design similar to what they did with their speakers. For now, I wouldn't be able to recommend for the points mentioned above along with the asking price seeming to be $40 right now (When they usually go for $28 which is still a bit too high).

    Clean booming sound

    This is my honest review of the Anker SoundBuds Lite Bluetooth Headphone. I've purchased many Anker products in the past 3-4 years and trust their products. They produce quality items that are reasonable in price. If your looking for $300 headphones you maybe disappointed. What these are are great all around headphones. If you like deep bass from Metallica you will like these. If you like clean and crisp country music like Keith Urban, you will like these. If your looking for booming pop music they also do a really good job. It takes a little while to get used to the neck band but after about 10-15 mins you don't even notice it anymore. Will deal with it for the 10 hours of battery life. Pairing these was super simple and my iPhone found them right away. Water Resistant as well. They also stand by their products with a great warranty of 18 months. I have had to use this in the past for other items (it happens) and they were quick to respond and remedy the situation. Definate must buy!

    Booming Sound Earbuds

    This is my honest and unbiased review of the Anker SoundBuds Lite Bluetooth Headphone. I've purchased many Anker products in the past so they are a trusted company with great products & excellent customer service. Let's start off with the Pros: (1)-Lightweight neckband to use everyday at the gym or as a Bluetooth device for your cellphone. (2)-Decent battery life/10 hours of music or 12 hours of talk time. (3)-The sound is incredible. It's booming loud. (4)-Water resistant with Hydrophobic nano-coating. (5)-Comes with a Micro USB cable, different EarTip/EarWing sizes and a mesh carrying pouch. (6)-Pairing was a snap. It paired to my cellphone in only 3 seconds. (7)-Comfortable & snug fit. (8)-The power/answer button is in the right place. (9)-Good warranty if you ever need it. And....(10)-Noise cancellation included. Now the Cons: (1)-You hear an echo noise sometimes while using this headphone which isn't a dealbreaker. (2)-The wire attached to the headphone may get in your way occasionally but that's a minor gripe. Overall I like this Bluetooth neckband from Anker. It works great and should last a long time if you take good care of it.

    Decent headphones for everyday use

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    First off, I don't typically like headphones that go in the ear without a loop. I prefer ones that go around the back of the ear or that stay over the ear. I decided to get these headphones based on previous experience with Anker products. It took me a while to get these to fit but with 3 sizes of ear tips and wings I was able to get a decent fit. I was worried they would not stay in when working out. So far I have had no problem. The neckband really helps. I have never had headphones with a neckband and thought it would take a while to get used to but I hardly know it is there. I have not experienced any problems with hearing music or connecting to Bluetooth. The only complaint I would have is that I cannot hear to well when on the phone while driving. But, I do drive a Jeep and it noisy anyway (so not really the fault of the headphones). At work they are fine and comfortable to keep in my ear for hours at a time. As for working out as I said they do stay in and have had no issues with sweat ruining them. Overall, I would recommend these to anyone looking for inexpensive but quality headphones.

    Review: SoundBuds Wireless In-Ear Headphones

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Today, I am reviewing the SoundBuds Wireless In-Ear Headphones. Product exterior – Good lightweight headphones. Can hardly tell you have them on. Description of use – Very easy to pair. I used them to listen to music while working on PC. Good Bass level. I had the volume 3/4 up and I was told by nearby users they could not hear my music, although, I could hear it very well. Headphones have In-line remote to control playing of music (play/pause) and also volume up and down. It is best to memorize which button does what and simply reach up and press the button vs looking down at the button to which you are exactly pressing. Ideal users – Anyone wanting lightweight headphones or handsfree calling via Bluetooth. Competitive comparisons – Another Good quality Anker product. Will use these regularly. Great price and great quality.

    Nice Sound and Fit - small design issues

    I bought this for use in an open space office, and the sound quality has been great for use there. Anker also provides a number of earbuds and ear wings, making comfortable fit easy. My single biggest issue is the location of the controls on the bar. My other pairs have them on inline on the wire, and I find it easier to reach there. Also I'd like to wear this under my shirt collar, but then access becomes difficult.

    Great Budget Wireless headphones

    These Anker Sound Buds are an much better sound quality then my LG tone SB-700 Has more bass and good battery life, I use it about 3 days on and off before I need a charge. Comes with decent ear fittings and a carrying case. Build quality is great and has magnetic end on the ear piece to keep them from moving around.

    Excellent Product with tiny flaws

    I own so many bluetooth headphones. Most are actually Anker and another brand. These work quite well, they slipped out of my ear a few times. The packaging is solid and directions are extremely easy to understand. I'm not sure what the big push for BT4.1 since these still cutout with my phone in my pocket. I was really hoping these wouldn't do that. As others have stated, these actually don't seem to be sweat proof. Do not get these if you plan to use them working out. Otherwise they are a great buy. The sound is great and battery is great

    Great boom for the buck

    I was going to do a side by side comparison of these and my Beats3 bluetooth headset...but that died and since getting a replacement battery is basically the same cost as a brand new pair..which is several times the cost of this, I elected to not replace those headphones. As usual with Anker products, they do not fail to deliver a great product at an awesome price point. The sound is loud, the design is simple and secure when worn and working out. Wish there was more color options, that's about my only complaint at this price point.
