    They're way spendy and not to be found on Amazon. Got mine from Best Buy.

    Here's a pretty good review that also compares them to their other models. Only downside is they don't support the higher quality AAC Bluetooth codec, or others, only SBC. Not an issue for me, can't hear that well anyway.

    I don't want earbuds, especially $25 ones. Hate em and have tiny ear holes.

    I also spend a lot of time on the phone and need a good mic with good noise cancellation.

    You can also buy a Hi Point instead of a Sig.

    I never wanted wireless, but like them when the ones at home are available. I've worn out more than three 3.5mm Jacks by now. I also hate, hate, hate ear buds because they don't stay in for me. I often use headphones for far longer than wireless batteries can cope with, and finally I don't want to spend a lot of money. What are my options?

    I get you don't like ear buds but likening what I suggested as Hi Point to Sig isn't a realistic comparison IMHO. More like Glock (inexpensive, utilitarian and not for everyone but appeals to the masses & gets the job done plus offers basics others can't in the form of.. it just works w/o much thought or maintenance) on sale versus a Sig or HK. It's not like they're complete junk which is the category I throw a Hi Point in. Maybe you just have a higher opinion of Hi Point than I do?

    By the way, the ones I suggested also have ear "clips" that you can attach which makes them stay put better (for me) than the style inner-ear clip you listed. This from someone who always went with over-the-ear clips because I tend to use mine when I'm active and need them to stay place. These el cheapo's have served me quite well though and I don't even use the over-the-ear clips that come with them and if I position them properly they stay pretty well.

    For me, the style you listed was a PITA because of the wire that connects them. If I had it dangling in front it was obnoxious and bothered me and I'm sure I looked like a doofus. If I put it behind me head inevitably it would get "caught" on my neck and start to pull them from my ears. I would adjust the strap to various lengths but it just never could quite get right.

    I think they all have their inherent flaw but after owning dozens of bluetooth headphones I like these latest ones the best. My favorite is they're almost disposable at the price so I don't have to worry about them since I can buy several pair for what the more expensive options cost. The sound isn't incredible but I like the flexibility of being able to wear one or both depending on the situation. I also like the rechargeable storage base that allows me to throw a charge on them a couple of times when traveling and I don't have access to a charger.

    For reference, since I'm finally at a PC, here is a link to something similar to what I'm talking about: Amazon

    While these aren't exactly what I have they're pretty close and I'm pretty sure all of these cheap Chinese made headphones are the same. The reviews aren't incredible and I experienced almost none of the issues those reviews speak about. I have three different pair (I use two and my wife uses the 3rd) and have had great luck. Again, I bought them with low expectations and treat them like throw-away for that price. I think I paid closer to $20 shipped at the time as well.

    For what it's worth, I compared these to the popular Jabra ones side-by-side and was very surprised that at 5x the price the Jabra True Wireless ear buds couldn't produce better sound. Those went back and I've been rocking the el cheapos every since. I get you don't do earbuds but for anyone else in the market these are fantastic for the price. Not world beaters for sound by any stretch of the imagination but if you're a fan of a Glock that you can beat on and not lose sleep and have it just keep working to an acceptable performance level these seem to be that for me.

    Disclosure: I'm in no way affiliated with the seller I linked to nor am I getting any sort of commission for this post. Just my honest opinion and my personal experience. YMMV

    Stand in a noisy DC and have a conversation with someone and tell me how great they are.

    My first day with these, wearing them all day and I think they're awesome. I ended up using the smallest gel insert and they're super comfortable and block background noise very well.

    They do stay in place (head banger tested), and swivel if needed so that the cord can be worn down, or up over the ear. I had zero issues with the (braided) cord on my neck when properly (snug) adjusted.

    They have the coolest EQ app I've ever seen, multiple presets, crowd sourced EQ's and playlists. The other cool thing is when I pull them out and stick them together (magnetic) they pause whatever I was playing on my mobile device (music, movies, what have you.). They start playing again when I pull them apart to insert. Of course they have a play/pause button on the control. Magnetic charger base, and came with a neat snap open carry pouch.

    So far, extremely pleased with them.

    FWIW, I have a very, very low opinion of Hi Point. The one I shot once was a jamomatic.

    ETA: the charge base.

    My motherboard on my gaming computer was starting to crap out on me, so I decided to build a new machine.

    Ryzen 7 2700X CPU (8 cores @3.4Ghz)
    msi X470 Motherboard
    16GB DDR4 memory
    reused my EVGA 960 Ti I bought from a forum member





    The lights make me a better gamer, so I'm told.
