Bluetooth Headphones,Parasom A1 Magnetic V4.1 Wireless Stereo Bluetooth Earphones Sport Headset In-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphone Earbuds for Gym Running -Sweatproof, Microphone (Black/red)

Unlike many of the other reviews, I bought the Parasom A1 (the ones with the Jaybird-like wings) at FULL PRICE, not "at a discount in exchange for an unbiased review." It seems that a lot of the reviews state this disclaimer which is a bit unsettling for me since these reviews are often five-star reviews (quite questionable in terms of bias), so I just wanted to get that out of the way. I'm reviewing these because it took me a while to decide on a pair bluetooth headphones, so I wanted to help those feeling the same way.First Impression/Materials:The headphones certainly look appealing. The red doesn't overly stand out; it just gives a nice look to them. The standard ear tips that came attached to the headphones fit my ears just fine. After trying the larger ear hooks, I found that they were a bit on the hard side, so I don't see myself using them. I've used the ear wings that come with the headphones and they work more effectively than I thought they would. The wings are soft and really keep the buds secure in the ears. Plus, it gives it that iconic Jaybird look for a much more reasonable price tag. The case is too big to fit in any normal sized pocket, but it will definitely fit in a gym bag or purse.Sound/Battery:I think this is the pitfall of the headphones. But you can't expect much in terms of sound quality for bluetooth headphones at this price range. But sound isn't the priority when exercising, exercising is! I'm certainly not an audiophile but I've had my fair share of experiences with headphones and the sound is decent at best. It sounds a bit artificial for lack of a better term. There's no deep clarity or richness to the sound, just average sound. I do appreciate that the sound is loud, however. I don't like the voice commands that speak "connected" or "power on" when pressing the power button, as they tend to be very loud even though the volume is adjusted low. So I'm usually left keeping the buds only slightly on and not deep in my ear canal when I turn it on, as I don't wanna risk hearing loss (yes, the voice commands are that loud). The battery is pretty accurate, about 5 hours. But for the average person like me who exercises a couple of times a week for about an hour for each exercise, these should last about a week. I don't see myself needing more hours of battery life for a pair of gym headphones that I can just charge at the end of the week. I've only tried talking with them on the phone once, and they were just fine. The other person could hear me just like normal. But the loud voice states the phone number when receiving a call which kills my ear drums.Exercising/Bluetooth Connection:I don't think it's shown in the pictures, but there is a clothing clip that serves as second defense in keeping the earphones from falling off. However, I haven't had any problems in the wings keeping the buds secure in my ears. The earphones don't move much, and I haven't been distracted by them much. The remote (for controlling volume and power) is a bit noticeable in terms of weight, but nothing to deter you from finishing your jog. I haven't had any problems connecting with my phone, ipad, and mac. It connects instantly, and I hope it will stand the test of time. I'll update if anything changes though.Conclusion:I think for the price point and the materials that come with this pair of bluetooth headphones, they're worth getting. The sound isn't amazing, it's just average. But that goes for most bluetooth headphones at this price range. They're great for exercising and you can customize them with the different ear tips as needed. I certainly wouldn't use these for listening to music at home, because I appreciate good sound. But for exercising, these get the job done. I haven't had problems with them moving around in my ears while running or weightlifting. The magnetic tips are a nice add-on when they're not in use. Overall, I am glad I went with these and not with the Jaybirds. I don't see too many reasons to get the Jaybirds unless you absolutely need 8 hours of battery life. Perhaps saving yourself money may be the better choice, all up to you. If Parasom can improve on battery life, sound, and remove those very loud voice commands that are prone to cause hearing loss, then I think these will be very good headphones. I hope this review helps those of you who are having trouble deciding on bluetooth headphones.EDIT: 04/17/16 Bluetooth connectivity has remained promising. I believe that this pair of headphones now deserves 4 stars after standing the test of time (almost 2 months) so I am adding a star to my previous 3-star rating. I've noticed that the winged ear tips are hardly noticeable during my workouts due to their lightweight materials, which is a plus. I just still hate these loud-a** voice commands.

These are a good value! I use them for audio books, so I can't vouch for the sound quality for music. I should probably try that and update this review.There are a couple of negatives:1. The magnets are not very strong and I would not trust them to keep you headphones secure around your neck while not listening. It seems more a novelty than a useful feature. If they beefed up the magnets just a bit so that they're functional I would totally see this as a benefit rather than a gimmick.2. When you turn them on and pair them the volume is very high. I turn them on and let them pair before sticking them in my ears.3. I think I have sensitive ears. I can't wear many types of earbuds without immediate pain. These are better than most, but still start hurting with extended use. Because of this I really can't speak to battery life other than to say my ears start hurting before the battery runs out....

These headphones work great and do just what I need them to. When I go to the gym and walk on the treadmill my normal earbuds would get caught and I would drop my phone onto the treadmill, Yikes! After doing this a few times I decided it was time to find a better solution. I found bluetooth headphones and thought I would give them a try. These headphones have great sound quality and they were very easy to connect to any device. The Headphone chord is not very long so it saves you time from having to always untangle your headphones before you can use them. The headphones also have a magnet on them so that when the headphones are not in your ears you can clip them together and they stay around your neck. If you want good quality headphones without the hassle of untangling and getting caught on things I would definitely recommend getting these bluetooth headphones!

Have it since january. Great earphones, snug fit in ears and firm. I do Crossfit, gym and powerlifting and in either i have problems that they fall or anything. Bluetooth Connection is good too, i have a Samsung Note 4 and havent had a problem with him. Sound is amazing and really good noise cancellation too. After all, have problems with outside noises? Turn up the volume. Believe me, you wont even hear that dubstep party crossing the street. I had a powerbeat 2 and believe me, Parasom has NOTHING to envy. Plus, the beats got damaged 2 months after used and for the price of those beats u can buy 4 of these Parasom. Believe me, they are good.

The headphones sound great. They are very comfortable and hold a charge for several work-outs. The carrying case is convenient and it comes with several replacement ear buds. The ear "hooks" broke for both the left and right, but they are not necessary with the rubber inner-ear channel insert. They stay snug and do not fall out during my long runs. I did have an issue with the right speaker going out at 11 months, but the 12 month warranty covered this with a free replacement. This is a good company and they do provide good customer service.

I like my new headphones. I have a few Bluetooth headphones so I can compare them. I travel a lot and I like watch my movies on the plane. Some movies have pretty low sound , so you will appreciate how loud they sound. I cannot complain about quality. My main complain is remote control, it's pretty bulky I wish it would have different shape. Other than that you will get very nice Bluetooth headphones.
