The packaging was even great! I love the carrying case that allows for me to ensure they are stored properly.
I took them for their first test run and I’ll be honest, I was a bit worried. I went running on the trail and at first they kept bopping up and down because my ponytail would continue to hit the band, but it stopped bothering me as I continued to run and every run since. I also didn’t think it would be loud enough, but the different environments I ran, I realized that also just took time because you are so used to having music right in your ear.
I loved being able to still hear my surroundings, but drown out my breathing LOL! If I hear my breathing, I get distracted and tend to try and use that as an excuse to stop running. So I like to listen to my music, so I don’t have to hear my struggles! 🙂
The bluetooth connected with my phone, but also my watch. So I was able to leave my phone in the car and take the music on my watch for a spin as normal and these worked great paired together.
Now that I’ve talked about why I like them, I made a video for you to see how to use them!
In this I also didn’t mention that if you hold the side button it activates their version of Siri called Audrey Says. This is great for hands free access.
I wanted to link to other reviews because obviously one person’s opinion is great but even more is better! So take a look!
