iDeaUSA® Wireless Bluetooth Sweatproof Hiking Earbuds

  Absolutely Excellent!

  The iDeaUSA® Wireless Bluetooth Sweatproof Hiking Earbuds come with a little bag to put everything in, a micro-USB cord to plug into a charger or a computer, three sets of ear bud tips and two sets of different-sized ear stabilizers so you can customize how they fit. Even though those ear stabilizers look horribly uncomfortable, they really are quite comfortable and very stable once you get them all screwed in (and I do mean screwed in - you think it has to be in all the way and then you twist a little bit more and then it all fits perfect!).

The instruction book has plenty of good graphics but the text is very small so you have to squint a little to read it. The English is easy to understand but clearly written by someone who is not a native speaker.

The iDeaUSA® Wireless Bluetooth Sweatproof Hiking Earbuds syncs very easily with my Samsung Galaxy 3 and my Chromebook. The headset quickly and easily re-pairs with a device once you have paired with it - it is surprisingly quick. 

The sound is very good - extremely clear. The sound is very rich. I used these headphones while watching the Civil War movie Glory - one of my favorite movies and one I have seen close to a hundred times on all kinds of devices.  I heard off-screen dialogue and sounds I have never heard before - not just in one scene but in scene after scene. The bass is very true, but not pumped up like a lot of people like nowadays. 

This set of Bluetooth earphones has excellent range. I had no problem going 20-35 feet from my Chromebook with no skipping out.

The device comes with an excellent built-in phone.  I did not use the headset's phone features (the buttons on the headset). 
When I use Bluetooth to talk on my phone I always use the phone itself rather than the headset features to interact (meaning I answer using the phone and hang up using the phone, etc.) because I just find it easier than blindly pushing buttons.

Note: I received a free sample of this set of ear buds in exchange for an honest review. This is an excellent set of Bluetooth ear buds.

I rate these earbuds 5 stars out of 5.
