Shorty Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Feels more difficult than ever to trust reviews online. Everything looks good at 4-5 stars then you see complaints on their facebook page and people talking about being bribed to remove negative reviews.... So I was wondering if anyone had any bluetooth headphones they recommend? I'm mostly interested in earbuds rather than any over-ear types, and good battery life. I've seen some that claim 8 hours, which would be great because that would last most of a full day at work plus travel time. Inline controls (play/pause & volume) also a must. Here's an example of the kind of thing I'm after: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M5AHD8S/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2TK6RXQACC2LO&coliid=I2UKDWTNRXWOFA And I may just get these and count on amazon customer service if they let me down. But I thought I'd check with some peers whose opinion I trust, first!
Happenstance Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Kind of tempted by those ones you posted myself. Seems like a good discount.
peterl0 Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) These are ace in terms of sound quality and battery life. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B016KEO7M6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481887153&sr=8-1π=SY200_QL40&keywords=anker+earbuds&dpPl=1&dpID=41gBs4TtrcL&ref=plSrch Negatives are the mic is too far away from your mouth so too quiet for most calls and the magnets that hold them together are weak. I do usually get 8 hours from them. Batteries in each ear I think. Edited December 16, 2016 by peterl0

Don't trust an online discount... these have never been that price http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Headphones-COULAX-Sweatproof-Lightweight-Cancellation/product/B01M5AHD8S They're also the exact people I was talking about reading horror stories on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Coulax.Fans These are ace in terms of sound quality and battery life. Excellent. It's terrible how often I skip over a product for being 4-star instead of 5-star, but a personal recommendation makes all the difference. Plus I've used Anker products before, I'm probably going to try these!
Will Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 I have these, they were fantastic up until a few months ago but now the max volume seems to have dropped to ridiculously low levels. It's not even either, music is fine, though I would like it to be louder, but I can't use them at all for calls anymore. Actually I'm not sure if its the earphones or the phone, anyone know any known problems with iPhone bluetooth etc?
