I enjoy music while I'm working out, but the crap they play in the gym makes me crazy. Therefore, headphones are not just an accessory, they are a required piece of gym equipment. I've had it with wired headphones, they catch on everything when I'm working out. I bought a Jay Bird (brand) cordless headset (Bluetooth) pretty slick looking, music reproduction was good also. The cons: not enough volume and because they were over-the-head-type headphones, they always wanted to fall off in various workout positions. Kind-a unhandy! I put up with them because they cost me $149. When I reached my frustration limit with the Jay Birds, I began looking for different headphones.

I read about many cordless headphones, and the Kinivo headphones always seemed to top the list. So, I bought them. Heck, they were only $39. and I could return them if they weren't what I was looking for. I'm not returning 'em! These headphones fit over the ear, rather than in the ear, and I like that best. They stay put no matter what exercise I'm doing; standing, supine, prone, whatever. They have much better volume than the Jay Birds and I believe they have better sound reproduction as well. Certainly the base response is much better than my Jay Birds. The Kinivos sound great. And again, only $39.

They can be used to make and receive phone calls too, if you are paired with a smart phone. Guess what? They are remarkably good for that as well. If you are listening to music and receive a call, you will hear a beep which you can answer or ignore. Touch the button on the right ear phone and talk, if that's what you want to do. It's that simple. I've only used the telephone function as a test and I will not be taking calls while I'm at the gym, even yours Rachel.

If you have continued to read this far, do I have to say I recommend these headphones highly? OK, I recommend these headphones highly. Now get off the fence and buy a pair. Bearhunter

I settled on the pair of Zik 2.0 headphones I own now after trying out a bunch of different active noise-cancelling bluetooth headphones, most notably the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0. The noise cancelling in the Ziks cannot be beat (even against the wired Bose QC25), the headphones are very comfortable for even extended use, and the sound is well balanced but still gives good bass when wanted. The only real downside I have found is the battery life; bluetooth with noise cancelling gets you 6 to 7 hours at most. I use mine in the office almost exclusively so it's not a real problem for me, and if it was I could buy spare batteries and an off-brand wall charger that would charge them, and just swap out when they die.

The Zik 3.0 is a worthy successor to the 2.0, adding in 32-bit processing and the ability to charge wirelessly with any Qi-compatible charger. As of the time of this review Parrot hasn't released their own charger, so I've not been able to try it. As far as looks, feel, battery life, and sound - I wasn't really able to tell any difference between the 2.0 and the 3.0. The 3.0 did feel tighter on my head, but that could be from comparing a few-month-old pair of 2.0 to a brand new 3.0. I think the ear cups are ever so slightly thinner on the 3.0 than the 2.0, but I don't think that really matters on these since I wouldn't describe the 2.0 as 'bulky'. The only real difference physically I noted was the power button. The button on the 2.0 is convex and has a low press force, which means that if I'm not paying attention I can accidentally turn them off when taking them off my head to put around my neck (when I need to talk to someone for instance). The button on the 3.0 is in the same place, but concave and has a much higher press force and a better tactile feel - I don't think I could accidentally activate this button.

All of that said, while the wireless charging is neat, I don't feel upgrading to the 3.0 if you already have the 2.0 is worth it unless you really want the wireless charging or USB audio features, or have money floating around begging to be spent. But if you don't already have a pair of Ziks, I wouldn't look any further! You can get the 3.0 to have the latest and greatest, or get a discounted new pair of 2.0 (for a short while at least)!

Great quality, great bass, easy to find/use controls, and awesome volume! I bought a pair of these for myself and loved them so much, I got three more for Christmas presents for my grandchildren. They aren't for audiophiles, but they're fantastic for those of us who use them for gaming and music on a daily basis. They're comfy to wear and I hardly notice them after a few minutes of wearing them.

I am about to order an extra pair of these earphones to replace another set of the crummy ones packaged with a new iPod.  I have happily used my current pair of d-JAYS (chosen based on an iLounge review) for a couple of years -- not only is the sound excellent but the in-ear fit is great.  I can wear them for very comfortably for long stretches.  The ambient noise-canceling aspect is good -- nowhere as complete as with my battery-powered Sennheisers -- though certainly in line with my expectations.  All in all, I love these little guys.

I'm extremely pleased with this purchase. The kit comes with well over a dozen pieces that allowed me to custom fit them,  so they fit absolutely perfectly!  The sound is great, and I didn't have to study the manual to figure out how to use these...  as the control seems to be designed very intuitively.  I used them today for over six hours and they were still going strong when I turned them down. Bob H

These have a great over the ear feel to them!!  I purchased them for about $12 plus $5 shipping and I couldn't be happier.  There is quite a good tight amount of bass accompanied by good mids and highs.  I am using the headphones with my home receiver(Onkyo tx-sr805) so I don't wake up the family when I watch a movie for play videogames late at night.

The sound is great, the isolation is great(there is not active noise canceling)  I've never liked noise canceling with the extra battery you have to replace felt unnecessary and these don't need any help.  Not to mention they fold up and are very light weight.

The ONLY small reason I didn't give them a 5 star rating was because after wearing them for about 6 hours my ears felt a little pinched towards the top and the ear pieces gets sweaty where the faux leather is placed on your head.  these replace my old senheisser eh150s.  these were totally worth every cent!!!

To warn people the chord is 8ft long so I wouldn't use them for portability but you could rubber band the extra cable and put it in your pocket.  Try them out for sure, they're a good solid investment.  If you need crazy perfect sound these will only be C average for you.  I think they're great though :)

I wear these for hours, listening to music or using it as a headset for Gaming or Skype calls.  They're light, comfortable, and sound great!  They fold up... i'm kind of a minimalist so I would never take these on the go, but I imagine some people would.  I hesitated to get the white ones because I was afraid they would end up looking dirty but I've had these for over a year and they look as white as the day i bought them (I included a pic to prove it!).

I love the style
The earpads are magnetic and replaceable
The cord is also replaceable

If anything were to happen to them, I would buy them again!

I love love love these headphones. The sound quality is great and they stay IN my ears! I bought these as a replacement pair because I left my others on the side of the road after my motorcycle accident. The first pair's music control toggle was made out of a rubber-like material and took some effort to push the button in. This new pair's toggle is all hard plastic and doesn't take much effort at all to push the button in. Depends on your preference. They're great either way. Similar to the skull candy ink'd, except they stay in.

They are Z87 safty rated and at less then $1 a pair. I don't feel bad when I loose or scratch them. I'll be buying more.

These sound awesome and the battery lasts forever (well 24 hours).  They collapse down and come with a very nice zippered carrying case.  Work perfectly with my Hidizs AP60 player and my old classic ipod with BT adapter.  They are slightly noise isolating so you can enjoy your tunes more but not totally cutoff so you are still aware of what's going on around you.  Super comfy have worn for hours, they fit even my big noggin.  Great headphones highly recommend.

These are awesome!  I've had several brands of wireless headphone.  Ive ended up losing all the ther ones and trying to awkwardly tie them around my neck etc.  These ones are difficult to lose cuz they just hang out on your neck and you can just pull out the ear buds when u wanna use em or take a call.  Also stays hidden under collared shirt when on neck.  Battery life is phenomenal!!

These feel great! Been playing Watch Dogs with these and I like them a lot. I use the concave ones - one short and one raised. The raised ones work like FPS Freeks but feel better because they are rubber instead of hard plastic, and also won't make small scratches on the D-pad/face button areas like FPS Freeks do. Recommended.

As another reviewer mentioned, these were on sale at Best Buy for $99 before amazon changed their price, and that's where I grabbed mine. I have used the turtle beach XO Ones exclusively since they came out and have been wanting to upgrade for a while as they would hurt my ears after playing for a while and the adaptor to control the volume was not responsive a lot of the time. I ended up buying a newer controller with the 3.5mm opening at the bottom so I could use them without the adaptor but that left me with no mute. So I have been in the market to upgrade for a while. These check all the boxes. Comfort, sound, design, functionality. I had read in June Polk was looking to upgrade the regular strikers and these are definitely an upgrade. I would definitely recomment these.

I was fortunate to get these from Woot about a year and a half ago. I absolutely love these headphones. They look good, they work well, they sound fantastic and most importantly they are phenomenally comfortable. I use them pretty much every day when I'm at my desk. I use them as a 'headset' (using the built in mic) quite often, too, with both my phone and with skype on my computer.

They've been carted to & from work in my laptop bag often, and they've held up well. I'm very impressed that after more than a year and a half these still look brand new and work flawlessly and are still super comfortable. A high quality product.

Wow. I'm really impressed by the active grip on these sticks! I hold my sticks really lightly and consistently drop or throw them over my kit. I've tried the Zildjian sticks that are wrapped in rubber and they tear my hands to shreds. I've even tried Sex Wax, which is effective but really messy and tacky. I've been playing with these for about 2 weeks and so far my hands are blister free and I've stopped tossing sticks all over the place. I think I've found my new go-to stick. Definitely worth a few extra bucks!
