Before I bought these I had earbuds that were wired to eachother. The wire would stick to my neck when I sweated.I needed a better more useful earbud and found this one. I've had these for 16 months now. They connected to my phone so I could listen to music while I biked. I haven't used them for a while now but I dug them out to once again listen to music while walking. They still worked great. I forgot how to raise and lower the volume so I went back to my order page on Amazon and looked at the picture. It's really easy to use but if you don't use them all the time you forget how the "tapping works'.Anyway, I'm leaving a review now because I finally figured out how to connect them to my TV. A year ago I tried unsuccessfully to connect them either to my TCL tv or my soundbar. Well, today I came back to the Earbud page here on Amazon to see if I could connect the earbuds to a wireless headphone set I already own. What I found out was that these earbuds will connect to Fire TV sticks. I HAVE a Firestick. It took 2 tries because the bluetooth timed out the first time. But right this minute I am listening to a Youtube video on my TV while I write this review. They don't sound as good as my headphones but they're not bulky on my head. It's a good trade off. When I wear my glasses the headphones squish the temples above my ears.Now I'm excited to see if they still work when I listen to DVD exercise videos.
