It was supposed to be new
I purchased a few of these as gifts. I was impressed the ease of use and picture quality. I was not thrilled with the fact that the one I received was obviously reboxed. The screen was dirty/yellowed and not packaged the way the others had been, and there was a scuff/ dirt mark on the unit itself. Every other purchase was perfect, so I didn't check my own until after the return period. It is all in workinv order, but I am not pleased that this has obviously been used.

yep... it has a real gimbal built in
Gotta be honest... this POV camera has impressed me, but it wasn't until I used it in the field. My initial tests around the house didn't blow me away. But then I took this camera on a US Army training exercise and found that it worked rather well while riding around in my HMMWV and on foot.In the attached pictures (These are screen grabs from 4k video):Pic 1 shows a Blackhawk helicopter that is several hundred yards away at zero zoom.Pic 2 shows the same Blackhawk filmed from the same spot, but fully zoomed.Pic 3 is a selfie of me driving the HMMWV while wearing the cameraPic 4 is me exiting the HMMWV wearing the camera (on the right of the pic)What I like:- I really thought that the mention of a Gimbal on this camera was just marketing BS. I didn't see how a gimbal could be housed in this little housing. But while in the field filming I took the camera off to check something and , sure enough, I could actually see the lense moving around on 2 axis (vertical and horizontal). Now that I have looked over all of the video from using it in the field I can see where the gimbal smoothed out the motion quite a bit. It is not as smooth as a true 3-axis gimbal, but it makes a noticeable difference.- The little speaker that sits over my ear to give voice indicators of what action is being taken. Since this is designed to be a worn camera, this works really well.- The app and wifi worked very well for me in the field. Without other competing wifi, my iPhone Xr held a stable wifi connection to the camera and the app worked flawlessly.- I love that I was able to plug the camera into a battery pack between uses while in the field. Without a replaceable battery, I was worried that the battery would be depleated before the training exercise was completed.- I use cameras in rather tough environments and love that this camera is IPX5 level waterproof (rain-proof and dust-proof).- While I strongly dislike vertical video for most things, I appreciate that this camera can change from landscape to portrait via the on-camera button or the app.- I don't have to take the camera off of my head to make changes, take pictures, stop/start video, etc. The voice prompts let me know when I've hit the right (or wrong) button.What I don't like:- If I ever use it on an action camera mount, then I won't be able to hear the voice indicators via the little speaker.- I wish the zoom function worked more smoothly. Every time you push the zoom in or zoom out buttons on the app the zoom level jumps in or out in a way that doesn't look good on playback.- The 2nd time I tested this camera at home it locked up and stopped responding. No amount of button pushing or button holding would get it working. I had to let the battery die overnight, then restart it to get it working again. It worked perfectly through a whole day of use in the field. But that one lock-up was always on my mind.

Music quality is excellent. Phone quality is medi
Overall, I like the earbuds. Bought to replace Bose Soundsports that had been damaged. Wear them primarily when cycling and primarily for listening to music.PROs: Not having the cord between ear pieces is nice, especially when wearing a bike helmet. In-ear fit is good and so far no issues with them falling out. Will see how they do this summer when I'm sweaty. Case charger is great. Just drop the buds in and they start charging. For me, music sound quality is very good. It's clear and the app allows for adjustments. I'm not an audiophile though, so others may have higher standards. To me, it sounds great.CONs: An app is required to use. Not a big deal, but it was a different app than the one I used for my Soundsport. Sound quality when using the phone is mediocre. I don't plan to have long conversations on them so the phone quality was not as important to me. If having conversations is important, I would suggest watching some on-line reviews before purchasing. The phone quality is demonstrated in some of them and is pretty consistent with my experience.OTHER: There are no buttons, it is controlled by touch. I'm having a bit of a learning curve when holding for voice prompts and swiping for volume. This is probably just something that takes a little getting used to. If I do get used to it... PRO, if not... CON.

Absolutely love this!
I bought this because I had a girl's trip in April. The people I went with are snorers and I am a light sleeper. I researched this and saw the reviews were pretty good. Plus, the price was decent! It arrived just in time. I charged it for about an hour. The battery life on this is amazing! I think I went 2 or 3 nights before I needed to recharge it. I used youtube, rain sounds and it really helped block out the noise. I will say though, if you're watching a video and there's quiet moments, you can hear background noise. I don't usually move around a lot in my sleep, so the head band did not slide off. I did see some reviews that stated they had that issue with the headband. I have a smaller head and did not have any issues with it sliding off. The headband does stretch, which I found helpful when I had my hair up in a bun. The sound doesn't go real loud, but I felt like it was perfect (that was another thing previous reviews had mentioned). Overall, I think it is really great and it beats wearing head phones in your ear. Also, I think this is great for side sleeping too. It does not hurt your ears at all.

One of the best.
I play mmo's. I've been using headsets for About 12 years to communicate w others online. I have a good amount of ppl I talk to regularly and some I've spoken to in person. This is one of the clearest mics I've used. I have been told this mic really picks up the true richest of the tones in my voice that are close to in person. The sound is amazing. I never have it up past medium. Plenty loud enough. I like the mic tilt to shut off. Convenient for when I want to snack ;) I get headaches easy, always have. These are not so heavy, like some, that they hurt after wearing them for hours, leading to a headache. I do get some ear moisture after prolonged use but it's very small...some might not even notice. They do cancel out a lot of my background noise. Also to note...someone on discord told me I needed to change my fire alarm box because it was beeping. I hadn't heard it due to noise cancellation. I removed headset and sure enough there was a faint beeping coming from upstairs. This mic picked that up from that great of a distance...and it wasn't loud. Love this more than turtle Beach.

Great for traveling and casual listening
This is my second bluetooth audio peripheral which was more of a biased choice... packaging was amazing and made the product look sturdy. The sleek design with matte finish gives it an aesthetic look...Going to the battery life, it has decent battery life which can go for around 13-15 hrs on full charge.Buttons and functions are pretty simple and easy to tackle. Charges via micro usb and does not have an aux port... that was the biggest drawback for me..Coming from the audiophile arena, I prefer wired headphones for its lossless quality and its plug and play accessibility... but without this feature, it was going to be a nightmare...Mic is decent but I found it difficult to connect the whole headset to my computer for online gaming... I was having only one option... either I could speak, or I could listen...Coming to the sound quality, it is decent as well... the sound stage of jbl products are often good but not the best... but being a cheap pair of bluetooth headphones, they are really good. The bass is boombastic (*atleast I feel like) but they can't compete a similar price ranged studio quality headphones...The headphones stick to your head and does provide resistance to falling from sudden jerks. Though wearing for a longer duration can make your earlobes pain.Overall, good for casual listening and traveling purpose!!

This product is amazing for the price
I absolutely love this product. As someone who loses things often I knew I could never by exspensive ear buds. So I’ve turned to cheaper ones. Before finding this pair I tried 4+ different cheap brand and while they were good none (not even the expensive ones in my opinion although I have never personally owned any) work half as good as these.•one they have a battery life for EACH INDIVIDUAL EAR BUD of about 20 hours.- for this reason I wear them to bed to listen to music as to not disturb my roommate and when I wake up I don’t even need to charge them after as they will stay charged for a remaining 8 hours typically. • two the charging case is tiny and easy to open and comfortably fits in the pockets of even Womens jeans.• three even wearing them to bed I’ve never had any soreness they are the perfect shape.• four I simply have to take them out of the case and they will automatically connect to my phone.The only problem I’ve noticed is that because I use them so often after like 5 months or so the vollume capacity goes down and I’ve had to replace them. But that’s not a problem as most time I’ve bought this product it’s been on sale for around 15$ so yeah. I highly recommend!!!

With only a couple problems, it is still very reli
Overall, the headset does it's job very well. It works on all platforms, and if you treat it gently, it will definitely last you a long time. I've had this headset for almost 2 years, and there are only 2 main problems that I have with it. The first problem is that the swivel on the mic became completely loose within the first month of use. It would fall all the way down to my neck, and does not stay where I position it. I have to position the headset quite awkwardly on my head so that the mic is close to my mouth, but it's easy to fix when wearing a hat. The second problem I had was the actual mic housing. Like many other people, the glue gave out and the little shell at the end of the mic keeps coming off. Fortunately, it's an easy fix with some electrical tape.The headset works great in terms of performance, but could definitely use some better assembly and a stronger build. I still use it as my primary (and only) gaming headset. So if you're wondering whether it's worth it or not, take it from a long time user: If you take good care of your equipment, then chances are that this will do you quite nicely. For a mid-range price headset, I would argue that it's completely worth it.

Great Sounding Headphones.
These are great sounding headphones. Projects slightly more bass than my 20-year old Sony V600's, which are flat sounding. Both are very good. My only concern is of what others have described as a weak or possible weak spot where the ear cup swivels. I'm not a DJ, so I've never had the need for one ear listening, so this feature is not one I need. It would be nice if a model was made without this swivel option.Update 10 April 2016, One month into using these on a daily basis and I can say that I'm very happy with the sonic quality these headphones possess. It feels as if I've owned these for years as they deliver a sound that I'm familiar with, without any suppression or coloring that would alter the sound quality.Big CON for Me: I am still annoyed with the multi pivot, swivel folding aspect of these headphones. Sometimes they just get out of position when I pick them off from the desk or off the hooks and I have to get the cups all situated. The clamping force of the headband is significant which at times, makes it a bit of a small chore to work this rubic cube effect. However, these headphones sit securely and I don't have any issues with wearing them for a few hours non-stop. For the current price of $77 that Amazon is currently selling these for, they are a steal.
