Better than expected.
I initially purchased a pair of Avantree SP290 over ear headphones, but I wanted something smaller that I could wear a hat with, and these worked out well.The sounds is much better than I expected for the price, which I was pleasantly surprised with, and with the over ear hooks these are much more comfortable to me as I don't normally like ear buds.The controls confused me at first as on the ones I received the minus button skips forward and the plus button skips backward, while the instructions said the opposite, but that was easy to get used to.A minor annoyance is that at times the music cuts out on me, namely if my phone is on the opposite side of me than the receiver is or when the phone is sitting wrong, but that's easy enough to compensate for, at least for me.Over all I like these more than I expected to.

Don't Bother! (You want to read this review).
I have no clue how these are the number one rated Bluetooth headphones. I am already returning these after a week, and here is my list of reasons why. I will start by saying that the earbuds themselves do have a snug and comfortable fit in your ear. That's the only thing I liked about them though. None of the button functions on the headset piece are native to your typical iPhone controls. To boot, that piece is so weighted that if you do anything beyond standing still the weight pulls the cord behind your neck so that all the slack falls on the right side and none falls on the left so you're constantly readjusting while moving. The battery life is advertised as 8 hours and I've barely gotten over two hours on multiple full charge uses. And, I don't know how no other reviewer mentioned this, but, when the battery gets low, about every 1-2 minutes a robotic female voice says "battery low, please recharge" and this continues to happen until your headset actually depletes the battery completely. Very very annoying.

Shmeeh...
Pros: Decent sound quality over all. It has a fair range in case you need to leave your phone charging while you do something nearby. They charge quickly and the battery life is as described.Cons: Poor volume; they need to be boosted to nearly 75% to compare to my SkullCandy earbuds at about 25% volume. Buttons feel cheep, as does the actual buds.In short, they are OK, but they most likely wont last for long. They will do the job if that is all you can afford, but I would recommend splurging on something of a little better quality.

Control box/mic bangs against face while running
Price was good on this, but the reason I went with a bluetooth headset was for jogging purposes. Avoiding the cords that pull the ear buds out of your ears while running was a major draw to this product. But the attached control box is so close to the right earbud that the constantly bangs against my face as I move around. Also, the box isn't very light weight so I still have the issue of it being pulled out of the ear. Bluetooth connectivity is good though and they sound pretty good.

They're good for running
The buttons and the order you have to click them for certain commands is confusing. Totally opposite of what it should be for Apple users. They're good for running, but the little box can start swaying back and forth when I get going fast, which can jostle the earpiece out. I have one earhole that's smaller and can't fit them in completely, so the earbud can come flying off. Better than running with headphones, and the sad little earbuds that come with the iPhone.

Poor Battery Life and Awkward Control Piece Outweigh Sound
Pros: sound quality, price, ability to stay in earCons: battery life, weight of control barThese ear buds have good sound quality for the price and stay in the ears while running without issue. However, the control piece that houses the on/off button and volume control is overly heavy for the earbuds and continually moves around on the back of the neck and constantly strikes your neck. Tightening the cord did not alleviate this issue. I would have given four starts had the control piece not been so heavy and uncomfortable. Battery life is less than similarly priced bluetooth headphones I have used.

Low quality materials and will not reliably connect to bluetooth.
Cheep materials and does not get detected by a variety of Bluetooth devices. Can't use it if it doesn't connect. I followed the instructions, and I had three other people also try in case it was just my error.It will tell you when it's powered on and all that. But, like I said, it doesn't connect to my devices. Maybe it I'll connect to one of yours?Update- shortly after the initial review one side stopped producing sound of any kind.

Hold up well and provide enough sound quality work out with....
Good value -- paired quickly and easily and worked well for the gym because of the ear loops. These are NOT sound-deadening/cancelling headphones, as the buds are ear-canal adjacent rather than firmly planted. But they are light, the controls work well and they are not very expensive. So far, they have held up well and provide enough sound quality to work with. Battery life is not super-terrific, but they are easy enough to charge.
