Urbanears Stadion Active Wireless Bluetooth Headphone, Black Belt (04091872)

My wife bought these for use on her Peloton (stationary exercise bike) and loves them. Originally she was worried she wouldn't like how they wrap around the back of the neck so tightly because she has long hair, but it doesn't interfere. Most importantly, the ear parts stay in place very well. Just a warning, for anyone with glasses these will most likely interfere with them since they go over your ears like glasses earpieces. Also, these are excellent quality, but if you have sticker-shock from the price, there are cheaper, lesser namebrand versions out there that are almost identical to these in appearance (don't know about the sound quality).

Feedback in reviews here is generally very accurate but they after still the best solution for me compared to alternatives.Reasons to buy:1. They don't seal in the ear, so you still can hear cars people around you and you can wear them for a long time or during sort without getting sweaty ears. Nearly every other headphone I looked at relies on this to get good sound.2. They don't rest on your shoulders. Headphones that do this pull out of the ear or flop around if you move with any energy.3. They are attached to each other with easy to find controls.4. Battery life is not an issue for me.5. I'm not an audiophile at all - but to me these sound good, nice full sound (for headphones).Negatives: so I should start this with a notes that while there are a lot of negatives they are still the only ones I would buy at this price point.1. They don't work well with [sun] glasses that have fat legs as they both need to go behind the ear.2. The Bluetooth range is unfathomably bad. My most common usage is phone (Samsung s7 and pixel 2 XL) in jeans pocket listening to music. If my phone is pointing down there music breaks up like a skipping CD, turned the other way round it works but it's easily upset, e.g. leaning against a counter. It just amazes me that a product can be this bad at a basic function. Even my $50 phillips Bluetooth headphones don't have any problems with this.3. I have average sized ears (male) and need to use the smallest covers. There is no way my wife can use these.4. As with other reviewers the battery cover on my first pair was installed incorrectly so it wouldn't close and only solution was to remove it. Which didn't seem to matter except for water proofing. Based on my sample size (2) you have a 50% chance of this happening.5. IMHO the buttons on the break are break to front, they make sense when you look at the product, but when wearing not to me.6. The buttons being shaped is a cool idea but in practice didn't help me to figure out which one m pressing unless I really feel around them.7. Wind noise when cycling is epic, my previous headphones where Apple wired ones which of course have some wind noise, but compared to this it was nothing.Based on all this is world still recommend buying unless one of the negatives is a problem for you. If an alternative comes up I will jump ship immediately. It sorry of amazes me that a modern product could have so many easy to fix flaws or fail at basic quality control.

I'm in love with these headphones for a long time, it's my third pair. they last 2-3 years, they are so comfortable that sometimes I forget that I'm wearing them! you can do all kind of exercise and they stay in a place and provide a good sound.

These are my third (and final) pair of Stadion headphones. A little after 12 months they stopped charging (like other reviewers say). I emailed UrbanEars customer support and they made me send them a laundry list of pictures and proof of purchase only to tell me that the warranty had run out on the item. They know full well from the reviews on this item that this item is defective, and dies a little after 12 months. Actually, after reading reviews I am lucky to have gotten 12 months out of these. Stay away from Stadion and stay away from Urban Ears. Their customer service is as poor as their products,

I really like the headset for running. Earbuds stay in no matter how much you sweat.Very lightweight, and the coil cord works well with merely reaching back with your right hand to increase volume.Personally, while running, I appreciate ambient sound to let me know if there is a car fast approaching. I think noise cancelling is unsafe for traffic as well as your ear canals.However, the only issue why I can't give this a higher rating:If you have the phone in your pocket, for whatever reason, the Bluetooth is not up to par and you will hear skipping of your music and the bluetooth is searching for itIf you have the phone on an armband (and hence ever so slightly closer to the headset) this is not an issue.I think that almost all manufactures have resolved the Bluetooth issues so I am very suprised Urban Ears can't master that.The only other minor issue is that while the instructions are in a dozen languages, it barely addresses turning on the device and effective pairing, The on switch is not thought through well.

These headphones are pretty good, sound, charge last a while. I haven't experienced any issue yet been 2 weeks. I do notice it irritates my ear a bit, ear bud A bit wide but nothing major. I'm keeping them.
