Excellent Quality at a Great Price!
I bought these headphones to use with my iMac. I’ve been using them for about 3 weeks and have to say I’m very impressed with them and happy with my purchase. I find the sound quality to be excellent for both music and movies. It isn’t at all “tinny” sounding like I’ve experienced with other cheap sets. They are also very lightweight and comfortable. I do wear glasses and find these fit comfortably with them. For the best comfort I put on the headphones first and then the glasses. I haven’t fully tested their range but have moved about my house without any issues. The audio has been just as strong at the opposite end of the house as it has been sitting right in front of my Mac. I have paired these headphones with my Mac, iPhone and iPad. The pairing process is easy and very smooth. It is no problem at all to move among my devices with one set of headphones. I have not, however, used them for a conversation on the iPhone so I can’t say how well they do for that purpose. My only use has been listening to music or videos with them. Battery life has been outstanding. I’d estimate I’m getting about 10 hours of actual use time before charging. I like the fact that they fold easily for storage beside my computer and the mini usb charging cord stays plugged into a hub so I can easily plug them in for charging. When the charge gets low you do get an audible beep to let you know it’s time to charge. Once I hear that beep and plug them in for charging, it takes about 2 hours for a full charge. The only negative thing I can say about the headphones at this time has to do with the rubber piece covering the charging plug. It is attached to the ear piece on one end and is suppose to fit snuggly on the other end to cover the charging port. After a few charging sessions I find mine doesn’t fit as it’s suppose to any more without a great deal of effort. It’s not a big problem and I’ll probably remove mine completely at some point. I am very pleased with the quality of these headphones. I wasn’t expecting a whole lot for $25 so I am pleasantly surprised. These are a steal for the price.

Everyday Use For SixYears Now.
The bluetooth connection works good with these headphones. They work well up to about 25 feet with 2-3 wall in between. With no wall, they reach a good 30 feet or so. The block out sound pretty good. I used them often on the NYC MTA subway. I have to turn the volume all the way up though, generally. If I rode the subway everyday, I'd opt for a more soundproof headphone. Those would by necessity be bulkier though. For their size, these block sound good. They are not good for riding a bicycle, as they block too much sound to safely do that. They are pretty light and comfortable. They stay securely in place. They are a little delicate. I often worried they will break. However, I've had them for over five years now and they're still intact. Most of my use is in the house, but they've been out plenty of times. I rarely leave the house without them. In fact, unless I'm doing something where headphones are specifically out of place, I loath leaving the house without them. I rarely take them off my head when out. If I need to talk to somebody briefly, I just slip one, or sometimes both earcups, to a place right below my ear. If I will not be using them for a while, I usually slip them down to rest on my neck, where I usually mostly forget about them being there. If I go somewhere I know I won't want them, I will leave them in my car when I have a car. Several hundred times without a car, I put them in a pocket or backpack. I would put them in a outside pocket so they don't get crushed, or in a pocket at the top of the backpack. The soft case that comes with them offers only a little protection. They cannot safely be tossed into the bottom a backpack. But they could be safely carried in a backback, however, if they were gentle secured somewhere near the top for instance. Anyway, they don't have the usual headphone wires that are constantly breaking, or the earbuds that are constantly falling apart. In that sense, these may be more durable than regular earbud wired headphones. There is no way to tell how much charge is left. They seem to stay charged for a long time though. After about 3 years of regular use, the plastic over the earcups started fraying. Now it is completely gone, but the foam is holding up well and I don't even notice the cover is missing. I'm almost amazed at how long they've held up. I'm hoping Kinivo will make a Bluetooth 5.0 version for longer range. I'd buy them in a heartbeat. I'm on my third pair. The first pair got stolen, and the second pair got lost. I like them enough that I wanted to replace them immediately. I found the second pair, so now I have two.

They ain't Bose, but they aren't $200 either...
I've never been able to bring myself to buy a pair of headphones for more than $60 or so. I listen to music often enough to probably warrant that type of expenditure, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I'm sure that I can get an other worldly listening experience for the small fortune that some charge for their high-end headphones, but I don't really care that much. So, these headphones were right in my sweet spot. They're inexpensive and sound good enough. In fact, I liked these headphones well enough to buy a set for my brother for Christmas. Overall, they're a solid piece of technology, and for the price, they really can't be beat. The Pros: 1) They're inexpensive 2) I've been able to pair them easily with my laptop and my iPhone 3) The sound is good, and worlds better than the ear-buds that normally accompany our electronic devices 4) The controls on the right ear-cup are easy to use and fairly easy to find, although some Braile-like dots to more easily tell the buttons apart would have been a nice touch. 5) They fold up into a nice compact form that's easily transportable 6) Compared to other headphones they're fairly light 7) They charge using a standard mini-usb cable - one is included, but if you lose it you can find another quickly 8) It's a personal preference thing, but I've always liked the behind-the-head designs better than the over-the-head ones. As I said, just personal preference, but a PRO for me... The Cons: 1) I've experienced some discomfort when wearing them for extended periods. By the end of a work day I'm putting them on and taking them off because they squeeze the tops of my ears a bit and begin to hurt. This is not that unusual for behind-the head style headphones, although I've had some that didn't have this effect. 2) The rubber door that covers the USB port is flimsy and fragile and won't stay closed. In fact, the one on my brother's pair fell off in the first 10 minutes. Not a big deal, but a cheap design, so don't expect it to stick around for long. I may pull mine off just because it's annoying and won't stay closed anyway. 3) They feel cheap. Note that "inexpensive" doesn't always equal "cheap", but in this case that's pretty much the case. Outside of a couple of screws, I'm not sure if there's a single piece of metal in them, so they do feel fragile and cheap. Time will tell if these headphones will hold up or not, but for the price I guess longevity would be a pleasant surprise rather than an expectation. If they end up breaking, I'll probably buy another pair just because they work well, sound good, and are so darn inexpensive. I sort of hate that everything is becoming "disposable" these days, but I guess that's the world we live in...

So Sad
Let me preference the fact I did return these headphones and bought the Photive BTH3 Bluetooth headphones (they are more expensive $20 more). I originally purchased the Kinivo Bluetooth car audio kit and loved it (and still do), so I bought these thinking they would be just as great. I don’t know if I am in the minority or not on this, but everything I read about headphones is how great they are because people have big heads and ears, well I don’t. So whenever I see those reviews, I run from the product because if they fit big heads and ears, they will drape over my head and past my ears. This is why I returned them; they gave me massive headaches because they pulled my small ears away from my head. I could no longer wear them. It real was a shame because the positives are that the sound quality is good not great. One thing I think people have to take into consideration is the music device you are utilizing. I use a Samsung Note 3 and an Apple iPod so I can adjust the EQ and that aides the sound a ton. Everyone will have different experiences depending on that. Overall the quality was good, but they do not get very loud. They get loud enough for me, but I don’t like loud music, so I know in comparison some people would be disappointed with that. I was able to turn my phone all the up and max these out as I ran and they were just loud enough. The Bluetooth aspect is amazing super easy and connects right away. The quality is ok, I actually was expecting better, but I do realize they are $30. The best thing about these headphones was the mic. I am an avid talker and wanted a good Bluetooth for working out/running and talking. The mic is amazing people actually preferred me on this headset than to my phone, so an extra A++ for that. The working out and running part, they were great, they stayed in place and didn’t bob up and down. I couldn’t hear any material shaking or the music quality dropping off, just the headache that ensued. In conclusion I am sad they didn’t work because the price was right and I have liked Kinivo products before. I would say people with small heads stay away because they will pull on your eras and it hurts (again I wouldn’t say my head is tiny like a shrunken head, actually pretty average for a female in her 20’s). Otherwise they are pretty good. The only other negative was really the sound quality I wanted a little better. I compared with my husband’s ThinkSound wood noise cancelling, so I am a but spoiled when it comes to comparisons.

Great headphones, amazing price!
I bought these headphones for my laptop because I was afraid I'd break the cord on my nice ones. My older bose earphones (IE2) fit so well, I would forget I was wearing them and walk off, pulling the headphones out of my ears or the cord out of the computer. I didn't want to break these, so I decided to look for some wireless ones. I read the reviews on these, and I am glad I purchased the Kinivo brand headphones over some of the others. There are other sellers, but what they are selling are the same as the inferior Kinivo BTH220 headphones. Some of them even have 240 in the name, but they're the same design as the Kinivo BTH 220. The Kinivo BTH240 headphones have better buttons on the right earpiece. They have less travel, and they feel higher quality. Pros: 1.)Light- I can wear them all day. 2.)Great battery life! I get at least 10 hours of constant music playback. If there isn't constant audio, they last much longer. Basically, you get 10 hours of constant audio playback. If you aren't playing audio but they're still on, they last longer. 3.)Excellent sound quality! I have been using Bose IE2 headphones, which I consider relatively good quality. There is NO noticeable decrease in sound quality with these headphones over the Bose ones. The bass is excellent, and they don't sound remotely cheap. I thought for the price, there might be some static hiss like there was with a pair of Sony Bluetooth headphones. There is no background noise whatsoever! I would have to take my Sony headphones off when I wasn't listening to something because the hissing would gradually drive me crazy. These surprisingly are completely silent. The Sony Bluetooth headphones also costed more than twice as much. 4.)Design and functionality: These "on-ear" headphones are relatively comfortable. When you are sitting or lying down, they aren't very noticeable. If you try to lean your head on something, they can be uncomfortable. I elaborate on this more in the cons. The headphones themselves look fine. They are plastic, but they're not cheap looking or feeling. All of the buttons (next, previous, volume up/down, and the middle button) work great with my computer and phone. The center "other" button held to turn them on and off, and pressed once to pause/resume audio/video and take calls. All of these buttons are on the right headphone. They are big, and I learned their placement very quickly. They also don't require much force, so you don't have to press very hard and put pressure on your ears. Another design feature that I LOVE is that they charge via MicroUSB! This means I don't have to carry a special cable. The cable for my android phone and tablet also works with my headphones! Sony could learn something in this department! They include a USB cable to charge them from a USB port on a computer. I just use the one for my phone. They are full in a few hours too, so it doesn't hog the charger. 5.)Fantastic value! I paid $25 for these headphones with a $5.00 amazon discount coupon. For $25, I wasn't expecting anything close to my Bose in ear headphones. I honestly cannot tell the difference. Obviously the form factor is different, but the level of audio detail is amazing. When comparing my Bose earphones to the old apple ones, I would notice little things in the music I had never heard before. These headphones have as much audio detail as my Bose ones do. If you are familiar with the old apple headphones and thought they were alright, these Bluetooth headphones will be a serious upgrade. For high quality headphone users, these certainly aren't a noticeable downgrade. If I had to guess a price for these just based on sound quality, I would put them in the $75-$100 range. These are seriously on par or better than the Sony Bluetooth headphones that are in that price range. The fact that they cost $25-30 amazes me. Cons: 1.) It isn't easy to lay down with these on. If you try to lay on your back, the band that goes around the back of your head gets moved, pushing the headphones forward about a quarter inch. In this position, they are uncomfortable. A pillow minimizes this effect. You also can't lay on your side unless you want the headphones pushing against your ears. Again, a pillow minimizes this. 2.)Constantly blinking LED. While in use, they have a bright blue LED that flashes every 7 seconds or so. It is bright enough that I can see the light blink on my shoulder if I'm in the dark. This is a minor annoyance, and can easily be solved with a well placed piece of duct tape, or a permanent marker if you just want to make it less bright. 3.) They are relatively loud to people not wearing them. If you are in a quiet room and listening to music, the people around you can also faintly hear the music. It isn't very loud. For comparison, my old apple earbuds are louder when they're taken out of my ears. This is just a minor annoyance because I might want my voice calls to be private. If you're in a car however, a person in the seat next to you can't hear the conversation over the noise of the vehicle. All things considered, these headphones are an unbelievable deal! I wasn't expecting this level quality, both sound and design, in a pair of headphones for under $30. Beware of other companies that are selling a similar product (cough cough SoundBot cough). They say they're the 240 model number, but they actually correspond to the Kinvio BHT220 headphones. The BHT220 headphones had some problems that are fixed in this model (BHT240). They are all made by the same factory, but I haven't seen any of the other nameless brands selling this model of headphone. If you want to chance it with the other nameless brands, fine. As far as I can tell though, they're all selling what is equivalent to the Kinivo BHT240 Bluetooth headphones. If you find another brand with this model of headphones for less than $25, I'd like to know. At the time of writing this review, I can't find this model of headphones from any other brand. Maybe Kinivo is just the first to release them. I will be recommending these to all my friends. I like that I can listen to audiobooks and music almost anywhere in the house. It is a serious convenience that you can't fully appreciate until you've experienced it. UPDATE 2/12/2014: I have been using these wireless headphones for a while, and I absolutely love them. I want to mention another feature I hadn't really acknowledged. They reconnect to my computer super easily! I just turn them on, and they connect within 20 seconds. My computer speakers are muted and the sound is directed through the wireless headphones. I forgot to mention this because it is so seamless. The more I use these headphones, the more I love them.

Awesome Right Out of the Box; Great Replacement for In-Ear Buds
After trying a few different types of BT earbuds (and returning a few of them to Best Buy), I decided that, if I was going to cut the cord at the gym, maybe I should go back to how I did things before BT was a popular thing outside of one-ear, "looks like you're talking to yourself" headsets: behind the neck, on-ear headphones. The Kinivos' 240 model looked like what I wanted. They checked the aforementioned two boxes and the price point was not disagreeable. When they arrived, I was surprised at the size. The photos led me to believe the ear cups were big enough to go around my ear (like my Bose noise-canceling QCs), but they are smaller and sit on top of your ear. I doubt it's the fault of the advertising, but the misinterpretation was immediately forgotten when I fired them up. Directions for pairing are simple, the battery was fully charged (as made evident by the battery indicator in my iPhone's status bar) and right out of the box they sounded freaking awesome. I thought I would have to burn them in, but after I paired and started playing Mastodon and Last Ten Seconds of Life (American metal), I heard clear underlying bass, the highs of cymbals and everything else in between. I was so pumped, I went and ran a half-mile real quick. Here's where the one-less-star comes in: I had some connectivity issues while running. Music dropped a few times, each time just a half-second, but it had me nervous about its ability to maintain its connection my device. Currently, I'm lifting weights and, while my phone is no more than 3 feet away, I have not experienced a single blip or hiccup. The around-the-neck band is not burdensome at all as I'm doing flat-bench exercises and it didn't bounce when I was running. The headset is secure on my ears and, I am happy to say, is not hurting the INSIDE of my ears. The design is sound (ha ha), the battery life has so far been holding out much longer than the earbuds I have played with, and audio is surprisingly amazing. Audio controls on your device and on the headphones are also independent of each other, meaning if you max out your device's volume, you can still get louder by adjusting at the headset. I have not done a phone call with this, so I cannot attest to how well you'd sound on the other end and vice versa. All in all, if you want an affordable BT headset and don't care for sticking buds inside your ears, I'd endorse the heck out of this. UPDATE: NEVER MIND. These headphones have reached perma-death status after nearly 4 months of use, at a frequency of 3-4 times a week. Audio sounded good while they lasted, but then they couldn't hold a charge, then there was a continuous digital tone that I knew indicated a near-fatal fault, and then they shut off and couldn't turn back on again. The hunt continues...

Great Value, Outstanding Comfort, but a Couple Quirks.
I got these for $25 from Amazon. I think that's a spectacular price. I go through headphones quickly, and got tired of paying $50+ for headphones that only last a couple months. The buttons do feel a little cheap when you press them, but I find that perfectly acceptable at this price point. More importantly however, I think that the actual design of these will give them above average durability, even if they don't have a superficially durable feel. The one worrying aspect is that the joints that allow these to collapse is plastic held together with a tiny metal screw/pin. After only a small amount of time, one of the screws on my unit was sticking out a little and scratching my neck. I happened to have a precision screwdriver on hand to address the issue, but I wouldn't be surprised if the screws had a tendency to continue to come loose with normal use. As a precautionary measure, I've put electrical tape over the joints to prevent further problems. I think the overall design would be more durable if they were to just dispense with the hinges and make the headphones not collapseable. Since you can comfortably wear them around your neck when you travel, I don't think that the collapsing feature is important enough to make up for the decline in durability and user experience (the neck scratching). I do find these more comfortable for all day wear than every other pair of headphones that I've owned. The ear padding is very soft, and the headphones stay secure to your head without pressing in on your ears (which I find uncomfortable over long periods). It also helps that it's also easy to hang them around your neck instead of on your ears when you're not using them. This is significantly more awkward with many other headphone designs.They are even fairly comfortable to wear while laying down. The softness of the cushion deserves the credit. It's not even uncomfortable to lay directly on your ear with the headphone resting on a pillow. I don't think I can say this for any other pair of headphones that I've had, including earbuds. I also think that the comfort level of these headphones isn't as dependent on the shape of your ear as it is with most headphones. They just seem to be designed to be as comfortable as possible for all ear shapes. Aesthetically, these look a little goofier than I was expecting. The issue is that each earphone has a small radius, but is very thick. They kind of look like little sliders (the small hamburgers) glued onto your ear. If aesthetics is very important to you, then you might have to spring for a more fashion oriented model. As for ambient sounds, when you are wearing them, they are a bit muffled, but not blocked. It's a little harder to understand people that are talking to you, but you'll hear that they are talking if you're not blasting music. On the other hand, they are loud enough that you can follow spoken word when ambient noise levels are high (this is a problem with a surprisingly large number of headphones, but not these). When the music is off, it's possible to carry a short talk without taking them off, though it would be a little annoying, manners aside, for a longer conversation. I don't care much about audio quality beyond a certain level of competence, but have gone through dozens of headphone models, and these are decent on that count, certainly better than your typical earbuds. I've never really gotten why so many professional reviewers put so much emphasis on this aspect for portable headphones meant to be worn out and about in conditions that are far from ideal for attentive listening. So I put this section at the bottom of this review. I expect that these are perfectly adequate for almost everyone, but if you happen to be an audiophile, well I don't think these are the aural gold mine you might have been hoping for.

Decent, but not great headphones. Comparison with the Kinivo BTH 220.
These headphones work pretty well--not great, but pretty good compared to many others I've tried, especially at this price-point relative to more expensive headphones. However, there are many design issues that I dislike, issues that were either not improved or worsened from my experience with an older model. Despite the sound and price, I don't recommend these headphones, due mostly on the design issues. I purchased the 240s six weeks ago and use them regularly. I got them as a replacement for my Kinivo BTH 220 headphones (link: Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone - Supports Wireless Music Streaming and Hands-Free calling ). I had a few fitment design issues with the 220 (detailed below), but they were fantastic overall--great sound, battery life, and held up VERY well with regular use in and out of the gym since my June 2012 purchase. I had to replace them, not because they stopped working, but because I broke them trying to remove the hard plastic bar that wraps around the back of the head. I was hoping for at least the same performance, if not much better with new tech & features, with the 240s, but this has not been my experience. Function: 3/5 (Compare to Kinivo BTH 220 @ 4.5/5) Design: 2/5 (Compare to Kinivo BTH 220 @ 3/5) Overall: 2/5 (Compare to Kinivo BTH 220 @ 4/5) ---Function--- The overall sound quality of the 240 is fine, not great and IMO not nearly as good as the 220. The bass is ok with the 240, but I feel it lacks the bass punch from the 220, which I really enjoyed when working out. Note, I am using the same phone and other electronics with the 220 and 240. Pairing and connection recognition to devices is relatively easy and works well with nearly the same experience with the 220 and 240. No issues here. When I power the headphones on or off, there is a chime sound. When my 220 connected or disconnect to my phone or other device, I would receive a there is a second, different sound--a sort of double beep. This second connectivity sound is completely missing with the 240 and one I sorely miss. Unless I immediately start playing something, I have to manually check my phone or device just to ensure the headphones are connected. Faux pas on Kinivo for not having a connectivity sound indicator. On the upside, I seem to have better call quality on the 240 over the 220. My call listening experience is about the same, but people on the other end of the call can hear me better. Perhaps there was a microphone upgrade of some kind. Overall, using the headphones for phone calls seems to work pretty well. I've used them for private and conference calls. Charging is straightforward. The port is covered with a rubber flap, which on the upside helps protect the port from water & sweat, but on the downside doesn't open easily if you keep your nails short like I do. I haven't timed how long it takes to fully charge from a dead battery, as I usually plug them in and return after a couple hours but they charge fine--no noticeable difference from the 220. The battery life claims 8 hours, and I'm guessing that I get pretty close to 8. I use them regularly throughout the week from 30 min to 2 hours a day and I usually only charge them once a week or so. I had a similar battery life with the 220, which stayed strong even after 5 years of use. ---Design--- My one gripe about the 220 headphone was the solid plastic back-of-the-head wraparound bar. It worked well to keep the headphones in place and close to the ear, which helped with the bass sound (which was some of the best I've heard from a headphone that didn't cost $$$). However, it was very uncomfortable to wear when laying down, say on the couch or in bed. Other reviews on the newer 240 mentioned that the bar is closer to the head, so I thought this problem with the 220 would be lessened. The laying down discomfort was not lessened, and a side effect of the closer fitment is a pressure on the back of my head about a 1/2 inch or so behind the ears. This is not so back for short duration, but becomes increasingly uncomfortable if I wear them for more than an hour. Another fitment issue that remains the same with the 220 and 240 is the over-the-ear fit. On the upside, it hugs very closely the ear, allowing for better sound quality and doesn't come loose or fall off with heavy physical activity. On the downside, I have an upper ear cartilage piercing and plastic bar that wraps over the ear can cause some discomfort, which increases with prolonged use. I could see others having the problem is they have larger or more curvature in their ears. This issue could be mitigated by allowing the ear piece to have a bit more flex & give in the plastic bar or the connection point at the ear piece. The ear cushion piece is nice and just as good as the 220. It is soft and doesn't put much pressure on the ear other than what is needed to keep it in place. It seems durable thus far. My 220 ear cushions did well after 5 years of use--the foam portion was still great, but the cover material was peeling and flaking off. It is too early to tell how well the 240 will hold up, but if it is as good or better than the 220, then expect them to last a long time. The 220 had an extremely annoying, bright blue led (sometimes red) that would regularly flash while in use. This would be very distracting while in a dark room, and was especially rude to use when next to someone, e.g. on an airplane, couch, or treadmill. The flashing led is less bright with the 240, but still extremely noticeable and problematic to nearby people. I am harder on Kinivo for the bright led, as I read many complaints about this issue, which should have been an easy fix in the newer 240 model. The led could easily be replaced with a low glow status dot, preferably on the bottom edge or somewhere that wouldn't bother others or even a light that doesn't show unless activated (think the backlight button on a watch). The button design changed between the 220 and 240. I haven't noticed as much user difference with the change, so the change seems more aesthetic. One slight difference is that the center play/pause button is smaller and less easy to find when I use a pair of relatively thin gloves (when running outside in the cold), but hasn't caused too much grief. The button changes don't improve or worsen my review. The 240 users the 'newer' micro-USB, compared to the 220's mini-USB charging port. The change allows me to use one less USB cable, since 220 was one my last devices using the mini-USB, but doesn't really impact my user experience. The USB change doesn't improve or worsen my review. ---Overall--- Unless you are ok with the design issues above, I do not recommend this headphone. I really liked the sound experience from the 220, but it just isn't as good on the 240. Most other function features work pretty well compared to most other headphones I seen, but have not improved from the previous 220 model. There are some design changes for the 240 from the 220, but most of them seem either worse or ineffective. Kinivo might have a real winner if a future model can (re)capture good over-the-ear fitment with a soft cord that wraps around the back of the head, as well as a complete notification led redesign. Until then, I won't be getting another pair and am likely to start looking for a replacement regular use headset.

Ottimo prodotto
le mie prime cuffie bluetooth, mi servivano per il cellulare e il pc e visto il prezzo ho voluto provare. non ho avuto nessun problema ad accoppiarle con tablet e telefono android mentre qualche problema in più c'è stato per il pc ma devo dire che il manualetto allegato, in inglese , mi è stato d'aiuto (ho dovuto installare i driver della scheda bluetooth del mio portatile). per il resto sono piccole, leggere, robuste nonstante le parti mobili e l'audio è buono, più che sufficiente come potenza e fedele considerando che sono bluetooth. non benissimo la distanza, ma quello dipende anche dal segnale dei device, ma comunque almeno 3-4 metri. comode da portare, anche con gli occhiali, si appoggiano all'orecchio e poi se sei in giro le poggi intorno al collo o le richiudi e le metti in tasca(nelle immagini non si capisce, ma non sono enormi, coprono appena il diametro dell'orecchio). elegante custodia e cavetto miniusb-usb per ricaricare di buona fattura. buona autonomia di ricarica. veloce e semplice accoppiamento all'accensione. comodi e funzionali i comandi, non ho avuto problemi anche a usarle come auricolari e microfono per il telefono. consegna con prime molto rapida. consigliatissime .chiaramente come contro c'è il dover ogni volta aspettare che i dispositivi si accoppino (un'operazione di 30 secondi) e il consumo di batteria maggiore soprattutto per i device mobili ma questo è uno svantaggio che hanno tutte le cuffie bluetooth. ripeto, consigliatissime.

Just a good little headset!
I bought two sets of headphones at the same time, this one and a much more expensive set. I ended up sending the other ones back. The Kinivo are nice and light with acceptable sound quality. I've been very impressed with their range and the life of the battery. I usually try to cycle through full discharge/recharge a few times at first and these have been taking two or three days of heavy use to discharge. The sound is not unlike my comparably priced Skullcandy headphones. It's not amazing, but it's far better than many headphones I've owned, and within the price range it's impressive. The microphone is a nice feature and, it works acceptably as a headset for phone and Skype purposes. Although it won't be replacing my current, wired, gaming headset, it's extremely convenient for day-to-day phonecalls and sounds better than some other Bluetooth headphones I've tried. My only complaint is that there are no adjustable points on the headphones. The folding feature is very nice, but being over 6" tall I find my head is a little larger than the norm. I realise that wanting a slightly larger diameter headphone pad and an adjustable arc to fit my head might not be a consideration for most people. For me it's annoying, but not so much that they haven't become my go-to headphones for exercise, housework, etc... I wanted the around-the-back design so I accept that this may have it's own limitations. Overall, I'm very happy with these headphones. For the price they are excellent and well worth trying out.

Tout simplement idéal pour le sport
Cherchant un casque pour écouter de la musique tout en faisant du sport, je dois bien avouer que j'ai été bluffé par ce casque. Il possède tout simplement les qualités essentiels pour le sport. Points positifs : - Rigidité : malgré la plastique au lieu de l'habituel métal que l'on trouve dans les casques haut de gamme, le produit donne une bonne impression de solidité, ce qui rend sa manipulation facile et agréable. - Qualité d'écoute : le son qui sort de ces écouteurs est plutôt bien équilibré, avec une légère amplification sur les basses fréquences. Même si l'on peut reprocher un manque de précision sur les medium/aiguë, l'écoute est très agréable dans l'ensemble et j'en suis pleinement satisfait dans la salle de sport. - Isolation suffisante : Je ne suis pas fan des casques qui isolent totalement du son extérieur (dangereux), mais je suis encore moins fan des casques qui n'isolent pas du tout (on entend plus sa musique). Le BTH240 est un des rares casque à avoir trouvé le bon équilibre entre ces deux extrêmes. J'entends parfaitement ma musique même à volume faible, mais je parviens à saisir si quelqu'un s'adresse à moi ou si un bruit soudain se produit. Ce point est je pense très important pour quelqu'un qui utiliserais ce casque pour des activités extérieures. - Compact : il se range facilement (pliable) et on peut le fourrer tranquillement dans son sac. - Durabilité/Résistance : J'utilise mon casque depuis plus de 6 mois, je transpire dedans 4 fois par semaine, je le range sans soin particulier dans mes sacs et mes poches, et le casque n'a aucun problème (que ce soit mécanique ou au niveau du son) - Confort : Je le porte durant toutes mes séances à la salle de sport, durant 1h30 environ. A la fin il se peut que j'ai de légers picotements sur le bout des oreilles, mais dans l'ensemble on se sent pas du tout le poids du casque. Points négatifs : - le micro intégré est très imparfait, ce n'est pas un casque que j'utilise pour passer des appels, mais il peut dépanner si l'on est pas en position de sortir son téléphone (course, vélo etc). Votre interlocuteur n'aura pas la meilleure qualité sonore mais il vous entendra de façon suffisante pour se comprendre. - La qualité sonore est perfectible, je ne recommande pas ce casque pour une écoute audiophile (mais on s'en doutais pour le prix) En conclusion : un casque parfait pour le sport. Je n'en ai pas trouvé de meilleur même à des prix plus élevés. Kinivo a su trouver le juste design et les bons composants pour répondre aux attentes des sportifs à un prix très doux. C'est une prestation assez rare pour être mise en avant. Donc bien évidemment je recommande. PS : Mon premier casque est tombé en panne au bout de 3 semaines, j'ai contacté Kinivo pour voir quelles étaient mes options, et ils m'ont immédiatement renvoyé un nouveau produit. Celui ci tiens très bien la route 6 mois après. Service après vente au top donc.

Beste Trainingskopfhörer!!
Habe mir die Kinovo BTH240 Bluetooth Kopfhörer für das Training im Fitnessstudio gekauft. Die Verarbeitung ist ganz gut für den Preis. Am meisten bin ich von der Akkulaufzeit beeindruckt. Man kann locker 6-8 2-Stündige Trainings absolvieren ohne das der Akku ausgeht. Habe oft erst nach 3 Wochen wieder den Akku laden müssen. Ich habe aber immer nur mit halber Lautstärke Musik gehört, die meiner Meinung nach laut genug ist. Der Sound ist auch oke. Die Verbindung mit dem Handy funktioniert sehr schnell und man kann es auch ein paar Meter weiter weg hinlegen ohne das die Musik unterbricht. Beim Gang aufs WC während des Trainings wurde die Musik leider unterbrochen, da dies etwas weiter weg war von meinem Handy-Ablageort. Sobald man jedoch in den Sendebereich wieder geht läuft die Musik gleich wieder automatisch weiter. Man muss nur aufpassen, dass man nicht aus Versehen den mittleren Knopf druckt denn dann wird die letzte gewählte Nummer angerufen haha. Alles in allem sehr Empfehlenswert da die Preis-Leistung unglaublich gut ist !! :D
