In the package are the headphones, a charging/transport box combo, and one USB-c cable.
They come powered by the Qualcomm QCC3040 and have Bluetooth 5.2. Two microphones are in every earbud (4 in total) to capture the voice perfectly and filter out environmental noises. The form factor is much like on Apple earpods (see the photos yourself).
They come in a charging case, the charging case uses USB-C to charge itself and then it can charge the headphones 4 times by the inbuild battery. Overall you will get 5hours of playback time. This means 1 full charge plus 4 recharges through the case will give you 5 * 5h = 25h of playback time. Which is pretty nice!
The headphones have a touch control feature, you can simply touch (not press!) the headphone to play/pause etc. your music. Which comes in handy if you don't want to take out your phone. To do so you need to touch them at the logo of the headphones. One tap on the right one will increase the music volume, one tap on the left one will decrease it. Long touch right, next track, long touch left, previous track. Double tap (on both) is play/pause. etc.
Like i said, this works very well. There is also a voice assistant if you press 3 times (no matter which side), but i personally don't like voice control on headphones, but if you like it, it is there for you.
Bluetooth pairing didn't make any issues at all, it was quick and reliable. Just take out the rigt earpiece and start binding, done!
The headphones are a good fit in my ears, i would personally not recommend them for sports, but they should be good for anything else. Overall i think if you want to do sports with wireless headphones you should use another form, the apple like form is a nice fit, but doesn't stay in the ear for jumping around. (Atleast not in my ears )
Sound is very good, i am not audiophile, so i just represent my layman subjective view on this. I am very happy with the sound from this 35€ devices. I did not change any settings and just listened to some online radio and i am fine with the sound.
Overall: Pretty nice headphones for a cheap price! I can definetly recommend them!
They seem very good price point and quality. Nice review!
do you have issue of suppressed sound when using mic on windows 10? it's the only problem for me

I bought & had installed my first custom stereo (with new alarm!) in a vehicle in 15yrs. My last one was stolen & I've been apprehensive since. I just got tired of having an antiquated radio!
Bluetooth profiles supported: A2DP/AVRCP/HFP/OPP
OPINION: WORKS GREAT! Sound quality is good on a call. Poeple on the call could hear me no problem. It sounds like they're by my feet when hearing them talk. No big deal.
Control is great. About the same .5-.75 sec delay from button push before a response as the BH-214. It feels faster though. I had my buddy in the car & I handed him my phone & he was selecting songs & they were playing no problem.
The quality of audio over bluetooth is waaaaay better than I expected. I'm pleasantly surprised there. I can not hear any odd artifacts like compression or digitalization of the sound. I can hear a distinct difference of audio quality when using Pandora though. Pandora sounds almost like AM transmission.
It also works great in USB mode too. If I connect my cable, it charges the phone (pleasant surprise) and reads the ID3 tags. It does NOT read the ID3 tags over BT, but I guess that's a limitation of BT or the supported profiles?
Overall, it's a great accessory for my EVO & I'm using it more for listening to Mp3s than FM! I could get an XM or Nav addon for the Clarion too. The neat thing is, I can setup a destination on the Google Nav & it reads the directions out over BT too. I dig that. Almost makes the nav addon pointless & less expensive by $200!
The only downside to this experiment was that the '94-'96 Impala SS does NOT have the ability to support double din stereos without modification. I had to buy a kit ($170) just to mount the stereo, then spend about 2-3 hours modifying the dash and bezel to fit.

Here you can see the extra space on the bottom, but the face needs to swing down some to open/close:

This is a review of Anker Bluetooth Stereo headset for music streaming and hands free calling. http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-Bluetooth-Headset-HandsFree-Calling/dp/B00ENF5CZQ/
Yes, believe it or not, people still use these single piece on-ear wireless headsets when driving or outside where they still have to be aware of surrounding. That is a key with this type of headsets where your one ear is open to keep you aware of surrounding environment. Typically these feature better sound quality and more functionality in comparison to older models. So let's take a closer look at new addition to Anker's catalog.
Arrived in their signature environmentally friendly plastic-free package, you get a wireless headset with 2 sets of high quality adjustable ear-hooks, 3 pairs of silicone eartips in different sizes, and usb charging cable. This wireless headset is very light, at only 12g, and dimensions of approximately 55mm x 17mm x12mm and additional 15mm for earpiece part. The ear-hook rotates to adjust the angle by 360deg and can also be flipped 180deg for left/right ear use. It has a very sleek professional look with minimum controls, multifunction call/power button facing outside and volume up/down on the bottom edge. The top edge has micro-usb charging port.. Also, I was glad that Anker logo was printed inside, makes the outside of this headset to look clean. Furthermore, inside there was multi-color led indicator and microphone.
Pair up took seconds, and after initial connection a voice guidance provided a confirmation. Although I only tried using this headset inside where everything sounded crystal clearer up to 40ft away from my phone, according to the spec this headset is equipped with CVC (clear voice capture) echo and noise cancellation technology to help you in a noisy environment. As a bonus, beside just a phone connection, it was also connected to phone media (thanks to A2DP and AVRCP protocol support), and I was able to stream music from my Note 2 and remotely control the volume of the audio on my phone. Its a great feature since switching between playing music and picking up the call is seamless, and on a full battery charge you get up to 5hr of talk or audio playback.
Overall, its a great little wireless headset that packs a lot of features, has a nice solid build, and a very professional look. Considering a price of under $20 shipped and 18-month warranty with lifetime tech support - this is one great value as well.
Here are the pictures.

Bluetooth speaker is one of these accessories that you can find absolutely useless, but you will love it once you use it for the first time. It's a perfect "boom-box" for small parties or a nice gadget that makes your house cleaning less boring. Today I put my hands on one of the best cheap Bluetooth speaker available on the market – the iClever IC-BTS02. It's not a professional review, as I don't have the required hardware to measure the output or frequency. This "review" is more an opinion.
iClever IC-BTS02 is not a big device. The device can be easily hidden in the pocket as it's dimensions are 64.5x64.5x70.1mm. It weights only 261g, so it's not the heaviest speaker. In the box you will find a speaker and the AUX cable. There is no charger available, but you can use every microUSB charger available for smartphones. This small 5W does some really impressive job not only indoors, but also outdoors. It's loud, basses are great and the distortion level is very low, considering the size of the device.

The only flaw I have found is the speaker placement, as it throws the audio upward rather than spreading it around. The volume controls are also placed unusual, as you can find them under the speaker. The only button available on the front panel is the phone button. You can also control the speaker from your phone or tablet. Sound delay via Bluetooth isn't big, but watching the YouTube video without AUX cable makes it a bit out of sync.
The range of the Bluetooth is also good if you don't have too many walls in your apartment. I experienced some sounds dropouts when I was going to another room ~7m (23 ft away). My overall experience with the range was rather good.
Connecting the device to phone is a piece of cake. All you need to do is flicking the power button and finding the speaker in your Bluetooth available devices menu. Connection takes just a few seconds. Speaker is able to remember up to eight devices. You shouldn't have any problems to connect the device. It will connect to the last paired device available.
Pros:
price
small size
quite good sound quality
Cons:
signal can drop from time to time
This is my review of the Havit HV-H913BT noise cancelling bluetooth headset - http://www.amazon.com/HV-H913BT-Cancellation-Bluetooth-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00OUFPJN4
As I don’t own a car or so, I’ve not been using this type of headset for quite some time and therefore I was worried about that it was a product that was not useful for me. However, after sitting down a while I found some perfect uses for this product. One of the scenarios is when I work in front of my computer and need to make a few calls – holding a phone in one hand or using speaker phone while working is far from optimal. So with that said, let’s talk about the actual product.
First of all, the product came in a box that showcased the actual product through a window made out of transparent plastic. The box was kind of hard to open, and I had to rip it apart to get into it. Inside of the box you can find the actual headset, as well as a few accessories and some documents. The accessories bundled with this headset are a docking station, a microUSB cable, a plastic thing to put around your ear as well as some different kind of eartips.
The headset itself is made out of mainly black plastic, and front have a pearl’ish finish to it. There’s a few buttons as well such as a powerbutton (switch), a all-in-one button and volume keys. On the the back of the headset, the actual earpiece is located as well as charging pads.
When it comes to the sound of this product, I must say that I’m certainly pleased. Nobody I’ve made a call with have complained about the sound, nor have I had any issues with the actual sound quality on my end. The sound is clear enough for calls, but listening on music through this headset is not recommended as there’s a lack of details.
The part about this headset that really surprised me, though, is how comfortable it is and how well it stays in the ear. There’s no issues with the comfort at all, and it does not fall out of the ear. However, to get a good fit you might have to try all the different eartips to find the one that works the best for you.
The only complaint I’ve got about this product is related to the actual docking station, as it’s kind of hard to get the headset to charge in it. Some times, I’ve had to adjust the headset quite a bit before it even started to charge and this might be a problem. I think it would be much better if they just went for the ordinary microUSB charging slot, and skipped the docking station completely.
But overall, I must say that this is a product that have really impressed me – mainly due to it being so comfortable and the sound quality in calls. However, it got its drawbacks but they’re just minor and I’m really satisfied with the product.

Unboxing video:
As i searched for new Headphones i came across these on amazon, so i ordered 2 different versions to test them and give you a short review.
I ordered the Dudios Shuttle and Dudios Free Mini (both around 35€ on amazon).
The Dudios Shuttle are AirPod like headphones, with BT5.0, IPx5 sweat resistent and touch control from the headphone itself.
The Dudios Free Mini are more like my old Jabra elite sport headphones, they are a small egg-ish form factor and will sit in the outer ear.
On both packages a charging case, some earpieces in different sizes and a micro USB cable is included.
As said both come inside a case which also acts as the charging station. The case of the Shuttle also have a 4 leds which are charging indicators of the battery INSIDE THE CASE. If you put the headphones into the case they will automatically recharge, and a small red led on the headphones will indicate the charging process. They can play for around 4hours and then needs to be recharged. If you have the case around you can put them back and let them recharge.
On the Shuttle get around 24h of playback without the need of a wallplug. (5x recharge in the case + 1 initial charge = 24h) and on the Free Mini you will get around 15h playback claims dudios. I only tested a full charge, both lasted a litle longer than 4h.
Once paired the headphones will automatically connect to the phone when taken out of their case, in my tests this always worked quick and reliable. No issues at all.
The BT range is really good, in comparision to my old Jabra elite sport headphones it is even incredible. The Jabra headphone have issues already if you are more than 1 meter away and drop the music. This Dudios have no range issues at all, in my tests i put the phone in one room and traveled with the headphone through the whole apartment, they dropped the connection only through 2 concrete walls. I would not assume any issues in day by day usage.
Both headphones have a pretty good sound, in comparision to my old Jabra elite sport it is better. I know sound is always kind of a personal choice. They don't reach the sound levels of my Sony WH-1000XM3 but that was expected. For small headphones i am pretty impressed and like it. Perfect devices for doing sports and running around if you don't want to carry the big headphones.
Also both headphones have a touch control feature, you can simply touch (not press!) the headphone to play/pause etc. your music. Which comes in handy if you don't want to take out your phone.
My personal preference are the Shuttle, as they can run a little longer than the Free Mini and i find them more comfortable to wear.
I will attach some pictures of both headphones so that you get a better impression.
Overall: Pretty nice headphones for a cheap price!
