I bought these to see what comes at 1/4 the price of the Jabra Sport+
I bought these for bluetooth and FM radio to replace a Sony FM radio headset. I mostly listen to public radio on my bus ride but was interested in adding bluetooth to listen to music on my android phone.
So, I've gotten the phone paired and the sound is really very good rich, fullspectrum, not muddy. The headphones fit well with my glasses on. There is a fair amount of skipping which I think is in the Bluetooth connectivity from the headphones as it doesn't happen when the android is connected to my car bluetooth. I haven't tested receiving a phone call yet.
Now, the weird part. The manual is not just bad it is plain wrong in most instances. I have figured out that after power on the phone goes immediately into BT mode. After a lot of experimentation I discovered that holding the play/pause button for about 2 seconds will switch the phone to fm/mp3. So then I try to tune a station uh, short press of 'scan' button? long press of scan button? I have no idea which works. I just pressed scan a bunch of times and was able to tune the public radio station but nothing else. I think that the 'forward/rewind' buttons choose between 3 presets but I have no idea how to put a station into a preset.
That's about how far I've gotten in two days. There are very recognizable tones emitted that must mean something but I'll have to continuing studying this alien artifact to understand how it works.
That said I will probably keep these since I am think $100 is too much for the Jabra and the only other FM/BT combo is a Sony that has a receiver pendant on wires and I don't want any wires. These do seem to have excellent play and standby time as I have used it on 5, :45 minute bus rides without a charge.
