Very Nice, Comfortable Bluetooth Headphones with very good music playback and battery life!
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Overall I like these headphones as a comfortable, long battery life, great sounding music headphones for my phone or laptop. I have to be honest that I struggled with 4 or 5 stars wishing there was a 4.5 star choice because there are a couple of points that would have lowered it a bit but in the end, for my use and purposes these are 5 star headphones. My primary use is listening to music while at work all day long and these more than fit the bill.These are advertised as "Deep Bass" and I was certainly able to achieve very nice bass when using PowerAmp and the equalizer controls to kick the bass in my music way up!Others have commented on in call MIC quality. In my video at 2:33 I added voice audio from my laptop with a wired headset which is followed by these headphones audio so you can judge for yourself. I have used many bluetooth devices and find these comparable. While the Mic on these is not as good as business quality wireless headphones they work fine for calls and voice command and will do the job just not crystal clear.Pros:Pairing - This was effortless with both my laptop and Samsung phone.Sound - Listening to music is easy and sounds very good to me. I am not an audiophile but for my daily use they sound great!Comfort - These headphones took a minute to figure out what I was looking at with the design but it is built for comfort in the wearers ears for several hours!Battery Life - I found it was in excess of 17 hours in a single charge of the phones and carrying box. They ran for over 3 hours, recharge for just over 1 hour. I was able to recharge 3.5 times on the case charger. I'm sure I would have gotten 19 hours at 1/2 volume which is the standard most folks advertise.Button Controls - changing music, answering calls, using my google voice with the controls all worked nicely but there is one caveat you will find in the cons.Calls - I can answer a call and use google voice command to call someone in my contact list etc...Cons:Button Control - The manual says I can press and hold either headset button for 4-5 seconds to power off. That does not happen for me. If I had not read the manual I would not have known it was supposed to do that so others may not notice. Tossing them in the box and closing the lid powers them off so I am perfectly happy with that. *UPDATE* I have just been informed that the manual is incorrect and that the only way to power them off is to put them in the case and close the lid. Some may be frustrated by this but mistakes happen.Mic Quality - I read some complaints about in call MIC quality. I talked to someone on the phone who said I sounded a bit "muffled". In my video at the end at 2:33 there is audio from my laptop with a wired MIC and then these headphones for you to make your own comparison.Again, I will use these daily to enjoy music while in the office and don't expect to have any complaints!

Great truly wireless earbuds
I've been wanting to replace my Bluetooth headphones for a while, while they are a great set of Anker SoundBuds (model A3263011) they have been used hard and abused. Also I was tired of having a cord constantly catching on everything.Enter the VaKo-T1 wireless earbuds.First impressions: the packaging is of the highest quality, on par with anything you would expect from a piece of high end electronic gadgetry. Once you open the box you are presented with the charging case, instructions and a box of accessories. Box of accessories includes earbud covers, small and large, the earbuds come with medium covers pre-installed, and a short microUSB cable for charging the charging case.Opening the charging case you are presented with the earbuds, blinking away in anticipation of the first sync. Syncing is easy as to be expected for any Bluetooth device. No need to even open the instructions, open the charging case, pop it in your ear-hole and it tells you it's on and ready to sync. Select VaKo T-1 from the available Bluetooth devices and you're ready to enjoy.Listening experience:On first listen I noticed that a lot of background noise came through, I switched to the larger earbud covers and then I was all set. These units are great at noise suppression, any background noise is effectively muted, I was able to operate a two-stroke gas powered blower and still listen to a podcast without even cranking the volume all the way up! Over the past 3 days I have listened to everything from podcasts, audiobooks, talk radio and music ranging from death metal to Rachmaninoff. Everything has sounded great, only critique is that bass sounds a bit tinny at high volume, although that is to be expected for the size and design of the earbuds. All in all, they sound as good or better than any unit I tested.Switching from mono to stereo is easy, just take the second unit out, it pairs with the first and you're good to go. I've had to resync once when I switched from stereo to mono, but all I had to do was put both earbuds in the charging case for a second then put it back on.Real world use:I have used these the past few days in a variety of settings. All day in the office then into the night on my ranch, if I'm working on anything solo I'm listening to either music, audiobook or podcast. As I mentioned above they can drown out a two-stroke motor no problem, and they make me totally isolated acoustically in the office, I've even missed a phone call because the sound isolation is so good!I took them out for a jog and they never once felt like they might fall out, they sit tight into my ears and even after a few miles and a good sweat they didn’t loosen up at all. The best part is there is no cord between them, slapping the back of my neck with every step.Battery Life:They come fully charged, both the earbuds and the charging case, so out of the box you're set to go.I've always been disappointed in real life performance of Bluetooth device batteries. Generally you get about 75% of advertised life. Not with these puppies, they go all day! I just keep the charging case in my pocket, when I take a break from listening I pop them back in let them top off a bit. I also switch from mono to stereo a lot which helps save battery too.I got about 4 hours out of them in stereo mode while working on my ranch, and my phone said they had about a 40% charge left, well beyond the 3hrs promised in the description.Conclusions:These are a great set of earbuds; they sound great, the battery lasts all day and they are easy to use. They charging case fits in your pocket keeping them charged and protected without having to find a plug. Definitely worth the price of admission and a full five stars.

Compact, convienent, good life, good pairing
This is my first pair of Bluetooth separates. My daughter has been clamoring for the white trendy ones so I thought I would try these and I'm pleasantly surprised.Earbuds arrived fully charged in the case with 1/2 charge. They paired to themselves and to my Moto G5+ on the first attempt and connected without issue since. I did need to change tips to get a good fit and a set of larges would have been nice. Not a big deal since I have dozens. They fit and stay well in the ears. Switches are pronounced and easy to locate for answering and music control.Sound quality for music was a little thin at first but has opened up after a few hours with even, full range sound. Battery life seems very good and I have gone 2-3 hours of playing and talking without issue, though I have not run them fully out. Red and blue LED indicate charge and pairing functions well. There are also separate LED on the case to indicate that charge which I appreciated.I'm taking off 1/2 star for background noise for calls. I was walking the dog at the park with some wind and my caller had trouble at times hearing me. I believe this is just a function of the mic being near your ear rather than near your mouth. No way around it due to the design of these type of earbuds.I think these are a good alternative to the ones from the Cupertino company that shall not be named for a 1/4 of the price.

Great wireless earbuds
These are super light weight wireless earbuds that stay in your ears. They have great sound quality and super easy to connect via Bluetooth. The only issue I have is the battery life is 4 hours. I require something with a longer battery life, but since they fit so great in your ears they are perfect for workouts. I would highly recommend these earbuds for sure over some of the other ones.
