Betron BT1010 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Earphones for Sports

These are fab little headphones! To think of the money I've spent on expensive headphones in the past that didn't live up to their hype; it seems such a waste now that I've been using these little gems for a number of weeks without complaint.I use them at the gym, for running and in the office. They're not the most discrete of headphones, but I like that. The colour is really funky and they go nicely with bright gym-wear. They're super light, fit snugly over my ears and the best thing of all... they don't fall out! Not once have they popped out of my ears or slipped loose, even when I've worked up a bit of a sweat. They came with a super cute carry-wallet and a load of different sized silicone ear-phone covers which are excellent. I changed mine to a smaller pair and have no complaint whatsoever. The best headphones I've used, bluetooth or otherwise!I've worn them at work too when the office gets noisy and I need to concentrate. While they're quite obvious at the gym, they're perfectly hidden under my hair so no-one even knows I've got them in. They come with a little clip that I used to wrap up any extra cable so nothing dangles down or gets in the way. The range is good too, I've been downstairs to our staff room with them in while my phone has been on my desk a floor up. Spot on!Another little perk is the caller ID. It was strange at first because they read out the callers number, not the name, but I've gotten used to it and have started to recognise regular callers numbers. A little perk I didn't expect - they're educational too, who'd have thought!One thing to note, not about the phones themselves though, is that the instructions for initial set-up are brief. I didn't get it at first, but basically you press and HOLD the main button while scanning for devices on your bluetooth setting and your device will then find them. Instructions don't tell you do this and I did get a little frustrated trying to pair while not holding down the button, but now that I've worked it out my phone recognises the earphones automatically each time I turn them on. No need to pair them again, it's great!A teeny-tiny niggle (and I mean tiny) is the weight of the control button. But I only notice it's there if running quickly, when it might swing a little, but not a big issue at all. They really are very light.I would highly recommend these earphones and would say to anyone looking for a new pair, don't waste £££s buying the expensive brands! These look great, sound great (probably should have said that first - sound quality is fab!) and at this price you really can't go wrong.

I've spent a lot of money on exercise headphones in the past and these are by far the best I've used. They are very comfortable and stay in the ear and the sound quality's not bad either! There are a few design issues that could have been improved such as because the control module is on one side the weight distribution is not great so there is a tendency to pull the left head phone out meaning that this is more suited to the gym than running however that is not to say it doesnt work for running! Also, I wish that they were a little tighter around the ears however, this is a personal thing and I am sure that other people will have different opinions regarding this. These negative aspects are outweighed by the price, the simplicity of set up and the strength of the wifi signal (Im able to move across the length of a fairly long gym before the signal starts to fade).A small box is provided which is a nice touch as it protects them from damage, keeps them and the charger close to hand and is very light weight. My only major criticism is that there could have been a greater effort made to reduce the sizer of the shipping/display package because whilst aesthetically nice, this is quite wasteful and not great for the environment.

I'll keep this review quite short, mainly just pros and cons. If you have questions, then just ask.Pros:- Stay on during exercise (I use them for weightlifting and for running). They slip out when running, but still stay in your ear enough for the sound to stay undistorted.- Very quick to charge, but we'll touch on that in the cons.- Uses a micro-USB to charge, which are inexpensive and easy to find (one is supplied). Even if you don't have one handy, you can pretty much borrow them from anyone who uses non-Apple devices.- Betron make very good quality audio devices, although we'll touch on that in the cons as well.- Works very well with iPhone. Has handsfree capability w/ microphone.- Effortless pairing (with iPhone) - does not pair at all with MacBooks.Cons:- Short battery life, as complimented by the short charge time. What's worse, is that it warns you when the battery is low... This is about 30 seconds prior to them running out of battery. Why warn me..? I essentially have them charging whenever not in use; I keep a charger at work and one in the house.- The sound quality is very good, but in order to achieve this it feels like they sometimes skimp on build quality. I replaced the bud on these ones and the plastic nub encasing the speaker snapped clean off. I glued it back on and it still works though - the wires are strong, which I suppose is good. Build quality was also an issue with another pair of Betron, in-ear (non-wireless) buds, so I presume this isn't wholly isolated.

I have been using these headphones in every run for 2 months now and I feel I really got value for money with this purchase. The phones really slot comfortably around my ears and don't slip out while I am running. They come with an optional little clip which I use to hang the wire that goes around the back of my neck to my baseball hat thus stoping the wire from flopping up and down against my neck while I am running. The result is a very comfortable feel to the head phones and a good sound (although I am not an expert).The controls can be a little tricky to reach to as they are around the back but it did not take me long to get used to it. I also do prefer that to the headphones which have controls at the earpiece as those tend to have much bulkier earpieces which feel very heavy and are more likely to slip off during a run.This is definitely the best sports earphones I ever tried.
