Good for a side sleeper

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2019

I wanted something at night that could block out snores and not be a Frankenstein earbud since I sleep on my side.

Super comfortable.

Blocks the snore even if it's not active noise cancelling.

Fits flush in my war without sticking out.

Super light around the neck to wear.

Great product but poorly manufactured

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2019

I've now owned 3 pairs of these earbuds, and they have been continuously my favorite because they are lightweight, water resistant for workouts, and stay in my ears. However, the last 2 pairs I've ordered have been terrible quality. The 1st pair lasted me 2-3 years (at the time, they were $80), while the 2nd lasted 3 weeks, IF that, and the most recent pair often skips whatever audio i'm listening to, or goes in and out (arrived just a week ago). At this point, it is worth it for me to spring and buy the new version that came out, and see if the quality issue persists, which is what i'm planning on doing next. Thankfully these were only $40. I guess you get what you pay for.

Great... If only used for music.

I'll start by saying this, I truly LOVED these BT headphones, and I wish I could still be using them, but...

These were great, I was in love the second I put them in. They fit awesome, they felt awesome, and they had great sound for the price point. All pluses right? Wrong. If I was just using these for music, I'd still have them, and I would have them at 5 stars, but I do a lot of editing, and watch a lot of YouTube and other videos as part of my editing company. When using these on the fly, even just watching YouTube, (which I do a lot of) there is almost a full 1 second delay, and it drove me nuts.

Like I said, if you are going to 100% listen to music, these are great for the price, and are so comfortable. But you'll notice even that delay in the start of the music vs the track scrubber. But if you do any video watching on YouTube (I didn't check Netflix or Amazon Prime) you'll have that same delay, and nothing spoken by actors; or the sound effects match up. It drove me absolutely bonkers because of this.

But, I can't reiterate enough, if you're buying these to jog with, or go to the gym with, by all means, they are great at the price point. I ended up settling with the House of Marley BT Voyager. Great sound, a bit more expensive, but bulkier, and not quite as comfortable to wear.

Sol Republic Bluetooth Headphones are nice.

The Sol Republic Relays Sport Wireless Bluetooth Headphones are nice. They fit comfortably in my ears. I purchased them based on a recommendation by a friend. There is nothing wrong with them other then I ordered black and these are not completely black. Some parts are, while the others are kind of a dark magenta (blue gray). Another issue I have and this is with practically all earbuds, is why do the designers insist on having the flashing blue light (any light) on all the time. I usually don't want people, especially while at work, to know I have earbuds on but that is not possible with a flashing blue light. I will keep the earbuds but I will need to find another set without the light.

Failed after 2 jogs!

In second run, after a full charge, turned off after 20 minutes. When home to charge - noted faint red light before plugging into charger that wouldn't turn off with on/off switch. Plugged in - combined blue/red light as seen in photo. Will not turn on and no longer works. I loved the wired version (good sound, comfortable fit in ears), and was so looking forward to this wireless pair! Must have been a bad unit! Please contact me.

Good value

A very good product for the price. I use them for running, and I am very happy with them.
They seem to be rugged and stay in the ear well. I have been less satisfied with other more expensive ear buds

Would be 5 stars...if they actually worked.

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2017

I bought these because the Relays Sport earbuds fit extremely well and do not fall out while exercising. I was excited when I found out they came in a wireless version, and my first time using them was amazing. The bluetooth pairing was strong, sound was great, they did not flop around on my neck, and they are secure while running: simply amazing. Then I found out that the power button stopped working, which meant they were no longer able to hold a charge. Returned them, got a new pair, went on a short run and the control buttons started malfunctioning (the volume up button was stuck so the volume kept increasing until I shut them off). After a few minutes they started working fine again, but all of the control buttons stopped working, including the power button. It's a shame, because they're the lightest and best-fitting earbuds I have ever owned, and I've tried all types. Hopefully they can come out with a new version that actually works.

A decent price that covers all the areas you may need, portability, battery life, water resistance and sound quality. Great purchase all around

Mixed feelings about these

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

I’ve had two of these now. I’ve bought several of these for friends. Somehow or another I just have bought the last good ones for my friends because they all have no complaints about theirs and yet I’m on my second shoddy pair.

My first pair had several issues which turned out to be common for these. The power button stopped working, they would turn on and off without prompting, and they pretty much hit a point where they were unusable just about 30 days after I bought them. I work out 6 days a week, so they got a decent bit of use in that time.

The sound quality is above average for something this size and comparable to the apple headphones that come with an iPhone. Noise cancelling isn’t exactly what they do, but they definitely can quote noises from the surrounding environment.

My second pair I’ve had for about a week and the compartment that holds the controls already pooped off when I was unplugging during charging. I have a feeling that’s the end of the sweat/water resistance offered by these. It hasn’t stopped the from working yet, but I’m concerned and will probably be contacting the seller soon.

Not as good as the Shadow but good overall.

Not as good as the Shadow but good overall. I have this headset as well as the Shadow. The Shadow fits very nicely in your ears and sounds great. But the flop around way too much particularly for workouts. So I got these hoping for the same fit and sound...but sadly, they do not fit as well or as comfortable. They also don't sound as good. But they are much better at not flopping around and stay put for workouts. So I will be using these for the gym and any other activity that bounces around and the Shadow for everything else.
