I previously had a pair of Beats X wireless headphones that I bought for $150. Unfortunately after 14 months of use they stopped working. I called Apple to see if they could replace and they told me the warranty was only for a year and they would offer to "fix" it for $80. I was furious considering how much I paid for them! Since I only use these for running I decided I wasn't going to spend more than $50.
I decided to give these earbuds a try and boy I'm glad I did. I was very surprised by the quality of the build. Definitely did not feel like $20 earbuds. I went for a 3 mile run with these to break them in and found two things I especially liked:
1. The sound quality was on par with my $150 Beats X, can you believe that???
2. The earbuds were snug in my ear and very comfortable. Not once did I have to adjust while running.
Sure there are more expensive earbuds you can buy but for $20, these are probably the best for the money. Highly recommend!
I was looking for a new set of wireless earphones for when I’m working out at the gym. I came across these and figured I’d give them a shot. They’re AWESOME! I’m really impressed with the quality of the product itself as well as the sound! I love that these come with different sizes for your ears, and the case too. They’re super easy to just throw in my purse or gym bag once I put them in the cute little case. They’re quick to charge as well with an android cable. These are easily comparable to the more popular name brand earphones. I highly recommend this set!
I like these headphones a lot so far. Their range is fair (about the same as other Bluetooth headphones I've had: an expensive over-ear Sony pair and a pair similar to these) the sound is clear when listening to both podcasts and music. They feel sturdier than the last pair I've had that were similar.
They arrived with a little charge so I was able to use them right out of the box. I haven't had them on long enough to test charging time and play time. I'll update when I do.
They are a little smaller than the last pair I had which I really like. I also like that they stay in my ear with the little ear loop but also if I'm just popping them in without putting the loop over my ear.
Power button doubles as pause button (long press vs short press) and volume keys work well and are easy to locate which wasn't true on my last pair.
It's a pretty solid product. Anyways I already have another set in my cart as a Christmas gift. I do wish they came with an all black cord.
Back in the day, headphones were huge, odd things that covered half of your head and weighed about half a pound. Listening was about the only activity possible when wearing them.
Things have come a long way since then. Now headphones are a thing of the past. Earbuds have taken over.
I’ve seen other people wear earbuds for hours, but, personally, I don’t like them. They’re uncomfortable, don’t stay in my ears, and have an annoying sound. If I have to use earbuds to listen to music, I don’t listen at all.
Recently I tried ANBES Sport Wireless Headphones. Okay, technically, they’re not earbuds. They are several steps above. I was amazed the first time I put them in my ears. They actually fit! And, even better, they didn’t hurt my ears. The sound is excellent, too. It’s clear and as good as the speakers on the desktop.
The cord on the headphones is short so that it won’t be in the way when you’re exercising. They also have a switch so that you can pause your music to answer a phone call without interrupting your exercises. Doesn’t that always happen to you? Or is it just me? The phone is silent all day. Then, as soon as I start my exercise routine, the phone rings. Well, now you don’t have to worry about that. You can answer the call and even carry on a conversation without stopping your routine.
These are so comfortable that you can wear them anywhere. The hook will keep them in your ears while you’re running or jogging or even jumping rope. Exercising can be a dreaded thing, but it passes quickly when you listen to your favorite music.
An even better use for these is when listening to a speech or lecture. It’s hard to stay focused sometimes, but the ANBES Sport Wireless Headphones block out other distracting sounds so that you can concentrate on that speech or lecture.
Even if you are not an exercise fanatic, you’ll still enjoy these headphones. You can wear them while cleaning the house, shopping, or even waiting at the dentist’s office.
Anbes Sport Wireless Headphones are a great fit no matter how you use them!

I’m pretty impressed with the battery life and Bluetooth range. I would definitely recommend these headphones especially for the price.

UPDATE - 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE:
I've tested the earbuds further for comfort and ability to listen at a distance from my phone.
Comfort update: These earbuds are very comfortable unless worn for extended periods, which is usually the problem with all earbuds. I don't think any have been made that avoid this problem yet. (If they have, I haven't found them!) I tried wearing them as a test yesterday while working and listening to music for several hours - after about 3 hours, I'd hit my limit. My ears were becoming painful from the earbuds, but the pain stopped as soon as I removed them. I definitely wouldn't recommend using these for more than an hour or so at a time to avoid this.
Distance from Device Update:
I tested the earbuds today at the gym to see how far I could get from my phone before they cut out. Roughly measured, I was about 24' from my phone (which was in my locker), wearing the earbuds in the shower this time. If I stood with my right ear towards where my phone was sitting, I didn't experience too many issues - but as soon as I turned away from that area or changed position, the sound started cutting out. Same result in the dressing area where I was slightly closer to the locker, but there were 2 walls between me and the phone. Interesting experiment!
Overall, I think this is a perfectly acceptable distance - most of us are not more than 10' from our phones when using earbuds anyway!
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I researched long and hard before I bought a new pair of wireless earbuds to use when working out at the gym.
Important points for me when purchasing:
-- COMFORT - I have small ears and 99% of the earbuds I've tried either are too large to fit in my ear at all, or they fit, but become painful after wearing only a few minutes.
-- SOUND QUALITY - Many less expensive earbuds have horrible sound quality - you get what you pay for, right?
-- DURABILITY - Need them to be durable enough to tolerate me using them daily for workouts and possibly for focus time when working - to block out distractions
-- PRICE - I'm just not into paying $100 or more for the name brand earbuds, airpods or whatever. I lose them, they break, etc - and I have to pay to replace them again, so while I understand you get what you pay for, there's a line I won't cross price-wise when it comes to earbuds. There's got to be a good middle ground in there somewhere.
These seem to be it, so far!
I've had these for about a week and used them just about every day while working out.
Paring - Pairing was simple - almost stupid simple. I sat in my car outside the gym, popped them in my ears, powered them on, made sure BT connection was open on my phone and pressed/held the button for a few seconds - and instantly heard "connected!" from the earbuds and it showed up as connected on my phone. The whole process took less than 2 minutes, tops. That was nearly a week ago, and I haven't had to re-pair them yet. Whenever I put them on and power them up, as long as BT is open on my phone, the minute I power the earbuds on, they connect instantly.
Comfort - They're comfortable - which is HUGE for me. I'm tired of buying earbuds that I *think* will work for me (because you can't try them on, for obvious reasons), only to find that they don't work due to my small ear size. I want earbuds that I can put on and forget about. These are the ones! I put them on, hook the earpiece over my ear to hold them in place, make a small adjustment to the angle of the earbud piece itself, and I'm off. I never have to touch them again while I'm working out, unless I somehow bump them and knock them loose, but even then, the hooked earpiece holds them in place for the most part.
Charging - Charging is easy - I plug them in every night to my laptop, right in front of my phone so I won't forget to grab them in the a.m. when I grab my phone to head to the gym. This keeps them fully charged all the time so I can just use them without worrying about them going dead. I have yet to test them for a really long period - but for my hour-long workout, they're doing great.
Distance from phone - Not sure what you call this in technical terms, sorry. ;-) For me, this hasn't been an issue. I don't generally have my phone very far from me - it's always in my pants pocket or clipped to my waistband when working out. However, I did test these out in the shower the other day, since they are supposed to be water resistant. I left my phone in my gym bag in the dressing room and wore the earbuds in the shower - a distance of about 10-12'. No issues at all with static or sound breaking up.
Water Resistance / Sweat Resistance - So far, no problem. I'm only just starting my workout & fitness journey, so I'm not a hardcore workout person at this point, but I do get some sweat going. I don't see any issues with the earbuds on that issue so far. I did wear them in the shower as mentioned above, with no problems, but I didn't immerse them in water or have them directly under the showerhead, so I can't speak to how they would do if completely immersed or soaked. But for general use when working out, they seem to function just fine.
Sound Quality - no issues here. I listen to both music and podcasts while working out, in a gym that has music playing all the time, and I find it distracting - with these earbuds in and something playing on my phone, I can completely block out their music. If I focus on it, I find I can still hear it, but not so much that it distracts me.
Price - Can't really beat these for the price! Even if they stop working in a couple of months, which I've seen other reviewers reporting, I won't be too upset about having to buy a new pair. Obviously that's not an ideal situation, having to buy new ones every couple of months, so I hope that doesn't happen - but I'd much rather pay $20 for a new pair of these than $100 for a more expensive brand name pair. For the price point, these are a good deal in my book.
Durability - so far, so good. Again, I've only had them about a week, but so far, no problems. I keep them in the little hardside case that they come with (love that!) and put them in/take them out of that case pretty much every day. So far the case and earbuds are holding up just fine.
If this review changes within the next month or so, I will update accordingly. :-)
I wanted some bluetooth headphones for listening to audiobooks while I walk or work out. I tried the wireless, too clunky, fall out too much. These are perfect. They actually stay in your ear, and they are not uncomfortable. Very much the opposite, you barely even notice you are wearing them after a few minutes.
What You Get - the packaging and what is included is amazing. A great package for gifting. The headphones come in a sleek zippered case, with THREE extra pairs of the rubber tips. (That's SIX extras!!), the USB charging cable, a clip for your cord, and really clear detailed instructions.
Ear Tips - The ear tips fit different sizes - I find that they ALL work just fine, but some are more comfortable than others. I have never heard of different sized ear tips so I thought that was a really cool and unique feature!
Connecting - Using them is SO easy. Press and hold for a few seconds to turn on, and will auto pair with your phone as long as bluetooth is enabled. Select them from your phone and voila! Ready to rock!!
Phone Usage - Easy to use to answer and end calls, rejects calls, redial - lots of great features and options. You can also easily transfer between the headset and your phone. Very clear sound taking calls. Also - noise cancelling!
Audio/Music - The typical play, pause, etc. volume, next/previous song... also easy to use with buttons on the top of the ear piece. Music and audiobooks sound great on these!
Battery - There's a nifty red light AND a voice prompt that lets you know you need to charge - very cool! It will be blue when fully charged. 8 HOURS!! awesome.
Last few notes. Definitely waterproof (yes, I tested it!) but let's not go deep sea diving with them in! Fine for accidental drops in the toilet (lol!) or rainy days. Also note these don't work with Bluetooth TVs. Just your phone or device.
Also, make sure your phone volume is turned up in addition the headphone volume (I learned this the hard way... haha!)
Overall - I'm very happy with these!
I usually don't write many reviews but some products surprise me so much I don't mind doing one then. I have had these wireless earphones for a few days now and have really enjoyed them. The fit comfort is great, after I put them on it is no time before you don't even feel like they are there. Comes with different size caps so you can fit different ear sizes. Appears to be made of good quality materials and the instructions are very simple and very accurate. Battery life is as advertised, I wore them first time out for over 6 hours and they were still working well. Connecting to my phone was as easy as anything else I have paired, no downloading any apps, just pair and off you go. I'm not a jogger but do enjoy wearing earphones to listen to music while I'm working in the yard, fishing, or doing some other chore. I painted a room while wearing these and I can say they are secure. Was fishing yesterday and wore them, it was a bit windy but it didn't effect my music I was listening to. The sound quality is good for earphones, not as good as say Bose but for $20 you can't go wrong.
Bro. I just took a shower last night watching the new Chicago P.D. episode 😀
I washed my hair first then put these on. OMG they really are waterproof & they never came out of my ears. I had Powerbeats 3 and my baby messed them up lol they should be in the trash but these are definitely comparable. Except THESE ARE BETTER and I'm picky as hell 😂 these are LOUDER bass is even better & louder how I expected the Beats to sound. Not to mention they're not even worth it because they cost so damn much. I swear these sound like Kickers the way the bass knocks. I couldn't believe what I paid I'm so happy and the colors are nice too. Just would have been better if they were more of a neon or hot pink instead of a salmon but I'm still satisfied! I didn't like the mic at first because it's located inside the right earphone. I didn't think it was going to work well, but actually, it works very well. Very clear, too clear really lol you will hear EVERY background noise so beware hahah. These are really loud so I have to turn my phone volume down halfway and it's still loud enough to sound like I'm in my own personal theater or music room. I'm in love and will def be buying more as gifts and a back-up. Thanks Anbes! I gave a half rating on durability because I just got them 2 days ago. Also because the ear hooks are very flimsy and they are not readjustible like the hooks on the Powerbeats. BUT they are also very comfortable unlike the Beats. I can't even feel them in my ear after I've put them on and they are very lightweight as well! Overall, AWESOME product, just what I was looking for 💘
Life long audiophile here who has/had many, many different types of earbuds, from the most economical to high end name brand manufacturers. I am fortunate to have a profession, as well as hobbies, that allows me to constantly listen to podcasts, music or audiobooks. After a couple of hours of using these earbuds, I completely forgot I was wearing them. They are that comfortable, even though they have a snug, secure fit. The sound produced is comparable with most high end brands and with all of the features this pair has, I am amazed they are so reasonably priced. I can surely recommend these earbuds to anyone.
