I really like these. I'm a dog groomer and I need headphones to get me through the day. For one, just having something plugged in my ears helps cancel out the sound of all the barking dogs. For another, while the dogs are nice to talk to they rarely ever say anything interesting back so it's nice to be able to have a podcast going to cut down some of the boredom.



The sound quality was great, just as good as headphones I've purchased in the past for double the price. The volume was loud enough to be able to listen to my podcast over the dogs (see above paragraph). Also, and this might sound like an exaggeration, but I can not stand anything heavy around my neck. Even wearing an apron with lots of items in the pockets can sometimes can cause noticeable strain on my shoulders/upper back. I felt no strain at all with these headphones, even when I took them out of my ears and left them looped around my neck. Oh, and if you were a little confused about the word magnetic in the title, like I was, then it is referring to the fact that the two earbuds are magnetized on the ends and will connect with each other when not in your ear. This feature didn't seem like that big of a deal to me until I realized that it would probably make it a lot harder for them to fall off when not in use, which is what happened to my last set.



The quality of the microphone was good as well and so far no complaints from anyone that I've talked to. They have all been able to hear me clearly with no weird static or popping sounds. The microphone was high enough up on the cord that I didn't feel like it would bang against my shoulders or shirt collar. The setup was as easy as can be for android (can't speak for iphone). All you do is make sure the bluetooth on your phone is turned on, then hold the middle button on your headset down until you hear the signal. You might have to search for the headset in your phone under available bluetooth devices, but after the first time the headset has paired for me easily every time.



Another neat little feature of these headphones is the auto stop and start when you connect the magnets. It's really nice to be able to pull these from my ears and know that my podcast/audio book will stop, then automatically start again when I pull the magnets away from each other.



So far I'm giving this a 5/5 star rating, simply because it does everything I want they say they do. The only con to these headphones is the amount of music/talk time you get from a full charge. I think that they maybe could have done better, but, then again, they don't really advertise that they do any better then 3.5 – 4 hours of music/talk time. This might be enough for some people, it's plenty for a work out or a drive home, just not quite enough for me with all day podcast listening. This is fine though, I'll just get a second pair to keep charged for the last half of the day. :)



I received this product at a discounted price for my fair and unbiased review. The quality of the product is judged on the retail price, not the discounted price.
