I was skeptical at first, as i had tried numerous pairs of blue tooth headphones.  The SMS Audio Sport by far has proven its ability to product excellent sound, clarity, battery life, and most of all comfort!  The added wire jack is excellent in case you run out of battery, you can still keep listening to the music :)  Included in the package are a few "extra's"  I must admit the workout towel is by far my favorite towel to use at the gym.  Job well done!

I got this cute speaker yesterday, after browsing and conparing through a lot of choices, and I couldn't be more happier. The speaker is well-built, priced reasonably, very portable (it can even fit inside my laptop bag), easy to sync, and the sound was just amazingly clear. Even at the max volume level, the sound comes out clean and not distorted. The subwoofer also lives to my expectation. I can cleary distinguish the low bass sound of the drums and bass guitar. We have a 4,500 sq. foot house and the sound can still be heard clearly throughout the entire house.

I think this is a better gift to give than, say, bluetooth headset. Anybody who receives this will definitely appreciate it.

Outperforms my prior Bluetooth phone headset by a huge margin.  Everybody can hear me incredibly well, and the sound through the device is superb.  It easily can handle the nuanced information that comes from the newer "HD" calls.  Fantastic.  Love that I can integrate it with my desktop Lync phone system as well for those long conference calls.  Battery life is incredible.

Having been mainly a headphones user, I was pleasantly surprised at MPow's offering. The Armor+ comes in a sturdy, nicely packaged box with plenty of black, hard Styrofoam packaging material. This is important because it ensures that nothing will get damaged in the shipping process.

The package includes:
- Mpow Armor+ speakers
- USB Type-A (male) to USB Micro-B (male) cable
- 3.5mm (male) to 3.5mm (male) audio cable
- 2 page fold-out instructional booklet (manual)
- Ventilated nylon carry-pouch with an adjustable opening
- Small nylon tie-rope

Before I start with the review, I would like to point out that you will need a charger. Any regular phone charger will work, as long as you can plug in the USB Micro-B end into the Armor+ & the USB Type-A into your charger.
It's recommended to charge the speaker fully before first-use. From a full charge I have easily gotten over 22 hours of usage, thanks to the massive battery backup.

As for the speakers themselves, they certainly picked the right name for this as it is very rugged and sturdy. It is on the heavier side with metal construction & rubberized parts - but it definitely feels like it's built to last. The buttons are easy enough to use without being prone to accidental presses. Over on one side there is a small rod where the included nylon rope can be attached & on the other side, there is a rubberized door which, when opened reveals the IO. There's the aforementioned USB Mini-B for charging the speakers, the USB Type-A which can be used to charge any device & a 3.5mm line-in jack. When using the speakers wireless-ly, this door can be kept shut for water/splash protection. Although I haven't tried a drop test, I'm fairly certain this would survive most drops from considerable heights without any problems. I can however attest to the speakers being unaffected by splashes of water.

When you first switch the Armor+ on, you're greeted by a 'POWER ON' message - neat. There's a corresponding 'POWER OFF' message on turn off too. And when you either pair your phone or plug the line-in cable. Pairing my phone was a fast & easy process. For usage instructions, the manual is sufficient.

Coming to the sound quality, I was impressed by the output from speakers of this size. The sound-stage is decently deep enough & you don't have any crackling at maximum volume. I mainly listen to metal & psychedelic music and songs from both the genres were fun to listen to with the Armor+. The intricacies in complex pieces of music were audible. Could you do better? Sure, but the Armor+'s sound reproduction & range is pretty good. It doesn't offer much in terms of EQ adjustments - apart from 2 settings, indoor & outdoor - which are okay in my opinion, though I was happy enough with the audio output to not care about having a host of EQ enhancements. I find I rarely ever use them. I would've liked them to be slightly more crisp for certain tones but it does what it's supposed to & it does it really well, which is what I care about. And this is coming from someone who uses Sennheiser's RS160s on a regular basis.

Pros:
- Impressive sound quality for daily use - both music & regular audio.
- Rugged shock & splash proof construction.
- Battery backup for phones or other devices.
- Wireless playback on paired Bluetooth devices.

No real cons that I can think of yet.

I can easily picture this being a cool add-on on an outdoor trip or even to some extended work-time in the garage. Lastly, I should mention that I had opted to receive the Armor+ for review. And they have kindly provided me with an Amazon coupon code - N2ZP9IWL - for anyone who's interested in picking one up. I think the code expires on the 27th of February.

I actually purchased this for my wife, but once she opened it and began using it I had a chance to check it out. It's actually an impressive little speaker as long as you realize that it's a wireless add-on to make your mobile device sound better and not the Boston Philharmonic live in your bathroom. The fit and finish are REALLY top notch and much better than the price would have you believe. The sound is richer and fuller than just about any handheld device you'll hear, including models with "beats" audio. It paired easily with her iPhone 6 using Bluetooth but it has NFC as well as standard jack hookup. Pretty standard stuff and very useful. Cool lights on it. Looks classy, simple, clean and understated on our bedroom tables. Go for it, you'll be glad you did.

I ordered this unit because I wanted to listen to my Iphone 3GS without the gsm interference.  When it arrived, I opened the box, looked at it, and said, "This is gonna be a joke."  I was wrong.  For such a small set of speakers, I received incredible sound.  Sure, it does not produce the sound of a $150 sound system, but I am very satisfied with the clarity and crispness of the vocals and moderately satisfied with the bass.

The headphones arrived on-time and fully functional.

As for the headphones itself; The sound-staging is extra-ordinary. I upgraded from Audio Technica M50x, the sound quality and comfort beats the M50x's by a large margin. The clarity of music and sound in general is really clear and crisp. The base seems to be about the same as the M50x's, but as mentioned previously, the sound-staging is ridiculously good.

To put into perspective, the first experience I had with a game was with Overwatch. I was able to hear a Pharah shoot a rocket at me, miss the right side of my ear, and land on the floor behind me on the right.

Anyone unclear as to what sound-staging is, you can research that. I believe these headphones have among the best sound-staging there are.

excellent product, I could not get over the fact of clarity coming out of a small speaker!  This was a smart buy

The clarity of these speakers is fantastic. The unit is about the size of a book, and you won't get the bass you would from a larger speaker set, but with its great battery life, clarity, and overal quality, this is a winner. I initially bought one to replace a full speaker set, but the bass--while good--wasn't what I wanted. Rather than return the device, I've been using it around the house and it has really helped me to enjoy music in new ways.

THIS IS BY FAR A SUPERIOR PRODUCT!! The quality and clarity of my bluetooth unit far exceeds what my cell phone provides!  I can actually hear people at highway speeds instead of pressing my Razor phone firmly to my ear like I used to do.  People on the other end have also stated I am crystal clear!  Like another reviewer, I also feel that the fit can be more snug and tighter to the ear.  This is even after I tried both the Standard Fit and Loose Fit earpieces (I think it is called loose or long fit, I forgot).  In addition, the plastic covering that protects the charging leads tends to fall of my unit when I place it in my pocket. It is a rubber type device that should be plastic so it "snaps" in place for a better fit.  However, THE PROS FAR OUTWEIGH THE CONS IN MY PARTICULAR SITUATION WITH MY PARTICULAR CELL PHONE.  I hope this review helps you make your best decision.

Outstanding quality, reliability and sound.

The sticker shock that the shure se535-cl delivers is nothing compared to the audio quality this timy package delivers. I like the noise isolating more than the noise canceling ear phones for a couple of reasons. Noise isolating is a passive technique, the form factor is small, and the weight is negligable. The noise cancelling headphones require a power source, actually create sound to cancel the incoming sound, and are much larger and heavier than their noise isolating counterparts. The se535's deliver excellent bass from such a small size. I primarily use mine while flying, working out, and during yard work. They easily block out the whining and crying kids found on most commercial flights, they are even excellent at blocking the hum of the lawn mower as I cut my grass. I like that the cord is detachable and can be replaced while keeping the same drivers. The price is definately a hard pill to swallow but once you try these iem's out you won't regret it.

Clear voice recognition, amplification of low volume sounds and muffled high decibel harmful reports.  Excellent product performance in a comfortable package to wear.

I had originally heard a demonstration of Makektronic's portable speaker line and was impressed by the quality and output from portable Bluetooth speakers, however when I saw a post on FaceBook that they were releasing a water resistant model intended for outdoor use, I had to order it.  I placed the order on a Tuesday and Amazon promised a delivery date of the following Monday with standard delivery which was fine. I actually was quite surprised to see that it was at my door step on Thursday! Good job to Amazon and Malektronic for the impressively fast fulfillment.
Once I unboxed the speaker, it was in a handsome plastic tube packaging containing the speaker, the USB charger and an AUX audio cable. I charged it over night and the next day I decided to test it. The only device I had handy with preloaded MP3's was a Motorola ACTV watch with I used to use with a bluetooth headset for the gym. Pairing was simple without even needing directions and the ACTV isn't NFC equipped. Upon holding the power button down, the Rocket starts right up with a very well recorded voice notifying you that the power is on and sequentially into Bluetooth search mode. I paired the ACTV with absolutely no issues and was ready to go.
I left the watch in my bedroom playing a prerecorded mix that was downloaded sometime ago. Not the crispest recording but I knew what it sounded like. The Rocket was placed in another room about 30 feet away, no struggles to stay paired to the device and with a volume level at 70-80% sounded very good over ambient noises.
I am very happy with the in house demo I took and am anxious to get to use it for my intended purpose for purchasing - outdoors; hiking, biking, camping, around the pool, at the river. As well as with devices such as my phone and iPod which have a much better sound output and more audio content!
This product stands up to and exceeded the expectations set by their prior line of speakers. I cant wait to hear some of the new products they have in development to be released soon!

These have to be the best pair of sports phones I have ever owned! Sound quality is excellent; I am really impressed with the bass quality. Other over-the-ear phones I have worn lacked in bass, but these are even better than the JVC buds this pair replaced. They fit well, are comfortable, and won't come off when I run hard. Because these are open-air type, you can still hear traffic and race instructions while running. The buds were nice in one respect; they cut out a lot of the external noise, so I could run next to a string of diesel locomotives climbing a hill and still hear my music or audiobook. With these, you won't be able to hear the audiobook while running next to loud noises (like trains and heavy traffic/trucks), but that is actually a positive for me. When running, you never want to isolate yourself from your environment; whether it be just out for a casual run, or racing.

But the most important reason I purchased the Koss KSC75 is that I began to suspect that the bud-type phones were causing my ears to clog up and retain water. I had a crackling sound inside my left ear for several months (on and off) - especially after running in warm weather.

I did some research on the human ear, especially from an athlete's perspective. The conclusion, arrived at by some very reputable people, is that frequent, prolonged use of ear buds can cause problems for your ears. Specifically, they prevent the proper ventilation of the ear, which can lead to retention of fluid (mostly water I suspect), and eventually to infection. These problems are exacerbated by heavy exercise, which causes sweat to build up inside the ear canal due to the lack of air circulation.

While I awaited the arrival of my Koss KSC75 phones, I did some more research on the ear, and came to think that perhaps I had some wax buildup (although, during my last physical exam - about 1yr ago - I was told that I had only a little bit of wax in my ears. I suppose that everyone is always going to have was in his/her ears), and perhaps some swelling of my eustachian tube. I purchased (OTC) a nasal spray containing the specific medication indicated for this problem, along with ear wax removal drops. At the same time, I had stopped wearing the ear buds, so you might think that it was really just the medication that helped me, but I don't believe that at all. Yes, the medication probably did help to clear up the problem, but that still cannot remove the blame from the ear buds for causing it in the first place. I had never experienced this kind of problem when I was wearing any of the over-the-ear phones. It all began when I started wearing buds.

So now, I have clear, gurgle/crackle-free ears, and great sound when I run, or anytime I want to have music with me.
These phones were so inexpensive, I'm not even going to worry about when the ear cushions wear out. I'll just buy a whole new pair.

I purchased the NudeAudio Super-M Wireless Bluetooth speaker after considering several different options. My family spends alot of time on the beach and the waterproof and sand-proof capabilities were important. Likewise, the small form factor was a consideration. My speaker arrived on time and I am extremely pleased with the looks, build quality, packaging, and performance. Set-up was extremely easy. I turned it on and immediately connected to my Bluetooth device (iPhone). The sound quality was very impressive. Most speakers this size have a hard time handling Bass - however, the Super-M performance was outstanding compared to other options. You will find that the overal sound quality is impressive and the volume that the speaker was able to produce exceeded my expectations. I strongly recommend this speaker for anyone seeking a high-quality speaker that will fit in your pocket, purse, and beach bag!

I have problematic ears.  Most in-ear headphones don't stay put, which is an issue when you are exercising.  The best-fitting sports headphones I've had used a headband, but this makes them more cumbersome and can be annoying with a ponytail.

Enter the Bose SoundSport headphones.  The first thing you notice when you take them out is the moulded "wings" which tuck under the ridge in your ear to hold them secure.  The headphones come fitted with the medium size but it's a cinch to swap them over for the smaller or larger buds.  Turns out that the large were an excellent, secure fit for my ears.  I can run, jump and perform all sorts of vigorous activities without them budging.

The sound quality is noticeably crisper and more nuanced than my previous Sony headphones, with less of a "bassy" sound.  Notes are well defined and very clear.  I was very happy with the sound quality.  There is no noise cancelling function, but that's a plus when you exercise outdoors - always better to hear approaching cars.

The headphones come with a small round pouch to store them when not in use, an extension cord and a clip to attach them to your sports clothing.  The integrated volume is easy to use and also works as a microphone for phone calls.

I love the sporty look of these headphones and I also like the sound quality very much, but the comfortable fit is the clincher for me.  Very happy user here.
