Pear Sports Pear Stride Headphones

I had these for about half a year, and used them a few times per week for going on runs. The comfort and fit of these is solid - I never had issues with them falling out. As that was one of the most important factors for me, that alone gives the product 3 stars.I didn't like anything else about these earphones. The sound quality is OK, nothing special. It certainly doesn't block out much outside noise, but if you're running in an area where that is actually a benefit (e.g. urban where you have to pay attention to cars, etc), it's acceptable. The different sized earpieces are of fine quality, but they come off of the earphone way too easily - beware of losing them in normal transportation situations such as throwing them in a backpack or the like. I lost the right sized one early on and had to resort to using a smaller size for much of my use of them.The build quality on these comes off pretty cheap. They feel pretty plasticy, and this is overall my main dissatisfaction with them. After a few months of use, the audio jack didn't properly connect with anything I connected them to - sound came through, sometimes at lower quality depending on how (un)lucky I was. And the volume/playback buttons stopped working altogether in my sixth month of use. What finally killed these for me, the connection from the earpiece part and the blue shell is a rather thin plastic tube: it snapped when I was taking them out of a bag with minimal force, rendering the earphones unusable.I wouldn't recommend these, though my experience wasn't terrible. They got the job done, for the most part, while they lasted.

There are a couple of reasons why I gave this product a 2/5.First off, it doesn't list it anywhere in the description that it is intended for Apple products, which I do not own. This is a total bummer since I was really looking forward to running with these and being able to answer calls if needed. Music comes through just fine, but the microphone does not work at all with my phone (Samsung Galaxy Note). I had this same exact problem with the Bose Sports headphones that I bought and returned.Second, it seems as if there are not many of their products that are compatible with Android in general. This part confuses me since Android has roughly 75% of the world market share for mobile operating systems.The sound quality is adequate and they seem to hold in the ear very nicely, but the fact that the description does not state that it is meant for Apple products drops it down to a 3/5, but then it only being intended for Apple products brings it to a 2/5. I am considering returning them since the product is not adequately listed on Amazon, actually I just went to their site and it doesn't even list that is made for Apple products on their website!Man I wish I could just find a good pair of sports headphones that are compatible with my phone!

I really liked these headphones. As promised they offer excellent sound without totally blocking out your surroundings (Important when you run or bike).Unfortunately, one of the buds died 40 days after purchase. I used them probably 20x in that 40 days. Always for working out and when they worked, they actually made me consider giving up my beloved Yurbuds. (And that is saying something for a workout freak)So in review:Sound quality: Very good,Comfort and Fit: FantasticLook: Loved themBut... since they died 40 days after purchase.... I must sadly give them 2 stars.I can't do one star because I liked them so much when they worked.If they still worked, I'd be giving them a 5-star review in 20 more days. Things have got to last 60-90 days at least.(I've contacted the company about a replacement set... I'll update once I get a sense of whether they stand behind their product.}

These headphones are not very good quality. Compared to the Bose and Monster sport headphones, you can really tell the difference. These are very plasticky. The quality of sound is mediocre at best. The cord makes a lot of noise with any kind of movement. The problem here is that the cord is not securely fitted into the earpiece, so it moves around where it enters the ear piece. This rubbing creates a lot of noise. And the microphone is very sensitive to movement. You cannot adjust the mic or the cord during a call without sending a bunch of distortion into the ear of person you are talking with. I suppose they are priced about right compared to the Bose and Monster products, but it is definitely a cheaper product and the lack of quality made then unusable for me. I returned them.

I've been searching for a headphone for a while but cant seem to find the right one until I can across this pear headphones. At first it was working fine and it doesn't fall out as much. But after about a month of use it started to fall out during my run which got really annoying afterwards. I returned it and still in search of a headphone.

I worked up a moderate sweat about 20 minutes into my treadmill routine, then broke into a full stride run. About half a minute later these suckers started slipping out. Ugh. And then the sound quality -- not good at all. I'm going back to the pricey Shure earphones because they fit snugly into the ear canal, the sound quality is crystal clear and they're highly durable. Now I just use the Pear for listening to music while at work. Not recommended for sweaty runners.

I have tried so many headphones while I run and these are by far the best. The different sizes provides options for the best fit for your ear. They have excellent sound quality and don't drown out the noises of my surroundings which makes me feel safe when I'm running outside. Overall great product and would highly recommend to anyone!

not the greatest sound and it is easy for the rubber pieces to fall off and get lost
