I use these for workouts and yardwork, and can honestly say it gets the job done. They stay in my ear with no problems, and have great sound quality. I was actually amazed at how good everything sounded, they sound as good as my Klipsch S6i - which at the time of writing cost around $60. Pairing to my phone is a breeze, and I find that the battery lasts a very long time before needing to be recharged. The wire connecting the headphones is flat, which from my experience means that it is alot less prone to being tangled that ordinary headphones. All in all, I am happy with the purchase, and would not hesitate to buy another pair.
Being an electrical engineer myself and having seen the electronics retail industry closely for years now, I've seen many headphones come and go. If you want decent sound quality, noise cancellation and ergonomic fit to ears, you need to shell out close to a hundred bucks. Bose and Beats have surely got them right but out of reach for many. I was looking around for a cheap and good one under $25. After spending some time comparing various brands, I went for Otium.
I fell in love with them right from the start. I gifted a pair to my girlfriend and my younger brother and they talk highly of it too.
Pros:
1. I am a prime member, so I received them within 48 hours. Though there was nothing that could break, amazon took great care while packing. Otium provided a nice box (not a pouch!!) which keeps the headphones clean and untangled.
2. Connecting to my iphone was very easy and intuitive, took me less than 2 minutes.
3. The silicon ear hook fit perfectly in my ears unlike other headphones of similar price range and significantly more comfortable. I have worked out with them for 3 weeks with my spectacles on, and they haven’t fell off once.
4. They come with two sets of additional ear padding, so that you can find the best fit with your ear size.
5. Noise cancellation and sound quality are its biggest selling point to me. To be honest, it exceeded my expectations.
6. Battery life is decent. I work out 4 days a week for an hour and one-time full charge is enough to get me through the week.
Cons:
1. Although battery life is decent, the headphone dies within 10-15 minutes of first warning of low battery. A little improvement on battery or an early warning would really help.
2. I haven’t tested the water proofing yet, but I am little skeptical about the water proofing rating. As Wikipedia puts it, “There are no hyphens in a genuine IP code. IPX-8 (for example) is thus an invalid IP code”. The product description reads “IPX-7” and “100 % prevents ordinary splashing water and rain”. FYI, IPX7 means that product has been tested 30 minutes under immersion, up to a depth of 1m.
Verdict: They are a bang for your bucks. Go for them if you want ‘Beat’esque sound quality in less than 1/5th the price. Go for them if you are working out, as long as you don’t plan to swim wearing them.
These wireless headphones are definitely amazing. You are able to go wireless much further than any other set of earbuds I have had before otium have clear crisp sound. The comfort and fit is also a grate plus . I definitely love this set and highly recommend them. I believe that for the price, these are undeniably a higher class and quality. Oh and forgot to mention this otium headphones are sweat
Proof. So if you are a gym rat like my,you just found the best work out buddy.
I just love my earbuds soooo very much.
The bluetooth pairing works great, it is easy to adjust the volume, great sound, and the battery life seems excellent so far. Just the other day I got caught in the rain while running and thus unintentionally tested that rain had no negative impact on these!
Attached is a video showing onboxing and initial pairing.
I mostly use these headphones for working out. Sound is excellent, Bluetooth is flawless - including call clarity the few times I've used it - and they seem to hold a charge for the stated 8-9 hours of continuous play. Save some $$$ and get these!
Update: These started acting odd - disconnecting from Bluetooth and then shutting down - after about a month of use. Seemed to happen most when working out, possibly a moisture issue as normal function returned after a day or two. Now, two months into use, they refuse to connect to my phone or other Bluetooth devices at all. I've contacted Otium about a replacement. Will update when I hear back.

I haven't found any earbuds that stay in my ears. These stay in my ears. The loop is painless and doesn't feel uncomfortable, and allows me total freedom while I listen to anything on my phone.
Simply the BEST bluetooth headphones I have used. Excellent sound with good bass. They stay in place with soft flexible around the ear clips and multiple sized soft silicon ear tips for custom fit. They pair easily and stay connected with no signal drop out. The carrying case is convenient and protects the headphones and charging cable and the set of different sized ear tips. Fully charged headphones seem to last a week or more during my daily 1 hour exercise. Changing music tracks is easily accomplished with a long press of the + volume. Sound volume level is very extensive from silence all the way to VERY LOUD. Phone calls are easily made and understood with simple press of the power button.
UPDATE: Excellent customer support for warranty service. After six months of daily use, the headphones no longer charged. Replacement set was sent in less than a week. My new headphones work perfectly.
Great headphones... the are comfortable and had good sound. The do a good job of blocking out of the sound around you... no noise cancelling but their fit aids in that function. They come with a nice carrying case. They charge relatively quickly... just over an hour for full charge and last for many hours of constant listening. The waterproof feature is great... on the treadmill or out in the rain... they keep working. The have a flat cable connecting them. so far.. one of my favorite ear buds.
Excellent design headset, I wanted Bluetooth head phones, so I decided to try these. They are comfortable and great! The design of the headset is soft rubber that makes it feel and look sleek. I’ve tried on a pair of “Beats” and these are similar in design and comfort. The sound is excellent, better than many head phones. One of the main things I like is that it sits comfortably on the ears, so when I go running it stays on. I’ve used it to listen to music during outdoor activities and listening to my online classes when I take the bus home, so the sound cancellation is good meaning It keeps outside noise out. At this price point for the quality I’m thinking about purchasing more for gifts, that's how much I like them. Compared to its high-priced foe it’s an excellent bang for the buck.
When I received them, it took less than minute for it to lock in to my S7 Bluetooth. I charged it for like 30 minutes out the box and it was good to go. The headset comes with a decent sturdy case, the shell could have been sturdier, but it does the job. If you hold on to the volume, it’ll increase at a better/gentler rate then most sets. One of the things I liked was that the person next to me can’t hear the music playing (I tested it with my wife). The design of the ear piece is at an angle which is cool because it provides a good fit and sound isn’t being lost (like I mentioned the sound stays in ears and not in someone else’s!). The material used on the earpiece is soft and doesn’t irritate when you sweat. Can’t wait to take these on my next flight. The sound may not be Bose but for the price point and quality of design they are worth it. These are most definitely recommended
Very comfortable with three sets of replaceable ear plugs. Works great with my iPhone and Mac pro.
Like the control for volume and track. Hard cover case provides good protection and easy to carry.
