Are the best bluetooth headset in the market
By Marcus Lemans on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2015
I had before the Sony SBH-20, they were pure crap and bad quality (one of the buds broke after a year), the mic was low and the audio quality very bad but I used mostly to do voip calls, in the other end they ever had to make some effort to hear me because of the low volume of my voice, I think the mic is a normal Sony issue because I have another cable headset for using with my computer that has low mic volume too. (I will never buy again something from Sony that has a mic) Now with this Skullcandy Buds (bluetooth version 4.0) I can say wow... is night and day compared with the Sony's, I use this headsets paired with a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and I use to do voip and normal call, to hear the internet radio and music when I'm on my bicycle, my experience today was great. Talking when I'm on the bicycle with some wind, my voice was really clear and loud on the other end (I did a test with Skype's Echo Test Service to check by myself), the noise cancelling worked great with the wind and mic sensitivity is fantastic. I was a bit worried about the neck collar because I bought them online without testing them first, it is very comfortable and the buds with the neck collar are lightweight, is like not having anything on your neck, I was very surprised how comfortable they are and when using them riding my bicycle were great, they don't even move because they have a small rubber connector at the level of the curves of the cable, looking at the front they form an "X", so is impossible for them to slip away. Is the first day I have them but I feel them they will be comfortable for the day to day use when I'm working. I'm not an audiophile but the audio quality is great, I really like them, they have good bass, middles and maybe not too much highs, great quality for hearing mp3 when you are running or in a bicycle. They have 3 buttons that work perfectly with Android 5.1.1: Volume control, start/stop and if you long press some seconds the "+" button or "-" button you advance tracks or go previous tracks (I used the app Jetaudio) that works perfect on Android. When I hear the music with my cellphone, I take my phone at the level of my waist, so there is some distance to my neck where the buds are and the bluetooth signal was ever perfect, no glitches like I had with the crap Sony's. About the battery in the description is say it last 6 hours, I have not had the opportunity to test yet. Full charge time: aprox. 1:20 hrs I don't know how this buds will last so later if I have any issue I will update this review, but the build quality looks very good. I think till today they are by long the best bluetooth headset in the market.

***UPDATE 10/23/16*** Now these are mostly awesome
By Rodrtal on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2016
I really liked these earphones. They fit well and I really liked the design. When listening to music, the sound is amazing. My issue is that when I am using these to talk on the phone, I cant put my phone in my pocket. If I do, it breaks up (sounds like severe static) the call and the other person cant hear me. It will also, somewhat randomly put the call on "hold" and on "mute". Just all of a sudden the person cant hear me but I can hear them and when I look at the phone its on "hold" or "mute". So the only way I can talk to someone is if I'm holding the phone at chest level cause if I put at pocket level (but not actually in my pocket) it will still break up. So whats the point of having bluetooth earbuds if I still have to hold my phone? I'm really bummed out about it. I was really looking forward to these earbuds. Today was my first day using them and I will be getting a new phone in the next week or so, so I will wait and see if the quality of the calls improve with the new phone before I return them. ***UPDATE 10/23/16*** Changed stars from 2 to 3 I got my new phone (same make, different model) and the earphones are much better! The only issue I have now, is that when I talk to people they still think that I am too quiet. This is very frustrating because I don't want to yell so that everyone can hear my conversation. BUT at least I can put my phone in my pocket and they can still hear me. I have not had any issues with the earphones putting my call on pause or hold. I may try another pair of earphones before I settle on these, but these are in the running to be keepers.
