Anker SoundBuds Surge Lightweight Wireless Headphones, Bluetooth 4.1 Sports Earphones with Water-Resistant Nano Coating, Running Workout Headset with Magnetic Connector and Carry Pouch

I have been putting up with an annoying headphone cord swinging back and forth while I run for years, and since I'm a full time college student, most of the high end wireless headphones that are made for running are simply out of my price range. When my older sister told me about these, I was quite frankly, skeptical. The price is so reasonable, they couldn't possibly be that great. But let me tell you THEY ARE THAT GREAT.UNBOXING:When the package containing these headphones was delivered, I was eager to try them out, and they come fully charged which is great for impatient people like me! They come with three different sizes of in-ear pieces, three sizes of wings, and a cute little carrying bag! I store mine in the bag along with the charging cord and always put them back in the bag when I'm not using them, and I (a very loss-prone person) have yet to misplace them.SETUP:The pairing instructions are simple and straightforward, and mine paired on the first try. I assumed that since I usually listen to my music on almost full volume with the apple earbuds that came with my phone that I would probably need to leave the settings on my phone the same for these. Wow, was I wrong! I listen to these on about half-volume and that is plenty loud for everyday listening, and I increase it by a few notches when I'm running which completely blocks out all sounds. The quality of sound is excellent, with crisp treble and fairly good bass. I'm not a bass-head so I'm not *that* picky about this, and I don't know much about how this compares to other headphones that are better suited for really deep bass, but I will say that hip hop, rap, and house music still sound really good.FEEDBACK FROM WORKOUTS:I'm the type of person who is bothered by the sound of my own breathing while I run, and these headphones make it so I can't hear myself at all. They really cancel all noise, even when cycling, and even on windy days, you don't hear the whooshing sound that you sometimes get when riding a bike through the wind. There is a slight thumping sound when you run with these in, but it doesn't bother me much, and I got used to it pretty quickly. The clip that comes on the cord anchors the wire in place on the back of my shirt or sports bra, and I have never felt the cord bouncing on the back of my neck, even during high impact workouts.BATTERY LIFE:I have yet to have these die while I'm using them because the battery life shows on my phone right next to my phone's battery, so I am hyper aware of how much juice I have left. On an average day, I listen to music while I work out (an hour or less), on my commute to school (about an hour), during my lunch break(1 hour), while I'm working on homework between classes (2-3 hours), and on my commute home (1 hour), and most days I don't need to charge them throughout the day since I always charge them overnight. This amount of listening at a moderate volume seems to be a sweet spot for these headphones, and I am more than satisfied with how long the battery lasts.PRICE:I don't think I even need to talk about how reasonably priced these headphones are. Its almost unbelievable the quality you get for under $25.Overall, a solid buy, and one I would make again if (God forbid) I ever lose these! 10/10 would recommend!

I’ve been big fan of Anker’s charging cable products long time . Every cable , chargers I’ve been using daily are made from Anker , lightning , Micro USB C , USB A type, car charger , wall charger . You name it . Ankers standing for high quality and I’m extremely happy with them cables. That being said , I was looking a Bluetooth for running and gym work out. Did a research on Amazon and this product from anker came across. Didn’t hesitate to buy since it’s from Anker and based on tons of positive reviews it’s racked on . Received product as expected, well packaged. Hooked it up with the smart watch and worked pretty well. After full charge , I used while running. Sound quality pretty good , nothing to complain . Even recommended to a friend to try . After 3 days solid , the battery started taking turn. Fully charges went out of juice pretty quick after taking few phone calls . Not even close to product description for batter life . I understand this headset has extremely small battery due to light compact size but still disappointed since Anker couldn’t deliver the expectations as they say .perhaps it’s just my luck got defective one , I don’t know . Reason I gave it 2 stars because it worked pretty well with decent sound quality for first few days. Not sure I’d try another Bluetooth headset from anker again . I think will just stick with their cables and chargers for now-Updated review-Anker contacted within 24 hours since my negative review posted . They said based on my descriptions I probably received the defective item. Then offered to send me new replacement without any charge or required sending it back . Totally hassles free . That’s top notch customer service . So far this new headset works as expected. But the main point please me is their careness and standing for their product . It earns 5 stars from me .

My ears are ordinary. I’m not what they’d call an audiophile. I plug them in. They sound good. They fit well and are light enough so they don’t fall out - they have not fallen out yet. Battery is great. Magnet works great; they’ve not fallen off after walking around a couple of airports. I use them with both a kindle and an iPhone (iPhone will display a battery level icon at the top right of the screen; the kindle will just show it’s connected). Both connect fine and I don’t have any lag issues when watching video (well sometimes there’s been a barely noticeable amount of lag, but that might be the video itself).So here are those two things:First thing: Low battery indicator kicks in way too late. I’ll get the audible notification and think ‘ok, I need to charge soon’... but nope - that indicator means NOW, as it seems to go off once a minute until I switch them off. It would be better to go off every 5 or 10 minutes or more at first, which would give me enough time to finish what I’m doing watching or listening to.Second thing: When they are connected but not in use, a constant blue LED lights up until I hit play. I really don’t need to be shown that they are connected and not in use - I know this as I just hit pause. In fact, the light is barely viewable by me as it’s on the remote by my neck - but it is viewable by others in a dark enough room, which is less than ideal when I’m using these at night and trying not to do disturb my sleeping wife.Having said all that, the pros still far outweigh the cons, and I use these daily - to the point where I’d instantly replace them if they were lost or broken.UPDATE 21 December 2018:I’m so close to knocking of a star down to 3/5. Over the last 2-3 weeks the battery has become noticeably worse. It used to be easily last a couple of movies and then some; now it will maybe get me through a TV show or two (I’m intentionally being general here as I have not timed the battery life). They are getting closer to being unusable with every charge (which happens after every use now).Having said that - I’ve used these roughly every other day for the last year. For such a tiny rechargeable battery, I guess that’s not too bad.They’ve been on a planes and stuffed into bags and pockets, and they are in just as good shape as when I got them. No frayed cord, no reduction in sound quality or ease of connection, and the tips have not come off unintentionally and still make a great seal. Aside from the battery life, they work just as well as when I first reviewed them.I’m gonna stick with 4 stars; but I recommend being realistic about these - if you are going to use them a lot, keep in mind that while they are built very well, that battery will eventually limit their lifespan.Oh - and if you are new to these: If you charge using a battery pack, they don’t seem to draw enough current to let my battery packs know they are connected, so stop charging after a minute or two.

This was my first product from Anker brand and that is how I got to know Anker. Honestly, I was really amazed by the quality of the product compared to its price. It has a great bass, so it is my go-to gym headset. The noise-cancelling is good too, however it is not cancelling out all the noise, for example on the metro. Still, the noise cancelling is great for the most part. And lastly the battery life is also great. I get around 5 to 6 hours of playtime in total, so I charge every second day. The standby time is good too, but I do not recommend carrying it around in standby mode for long because it is not that efficient. Your total playtime for one full charge can drop to 4 hours if you leave it on standby for too long. All in all, this is a great product and you should definitely consider buying it if you are on the market for a pair bluetooth headphones.

Bought the headphones more than half a year ago. I like the features with the magnetic heads and the general look and feel, they are small and don’t make a cheep impression considering the good price.For me the sound quality is absolutely fine but I have to admit that my standards might not be up to some experts.The setup comes with a lot of options to adjust the in ear buds to your ear and with some playing about you will definitely find the right fit for you. If you have they are comfy although I have to take them out after a few hours to relax my ears but that’s the same with nearly all headphones I tried over the years.I use them a lot, mainly for sports and they can get sweaty some times but that does not seam to affect them.Only downside the battery warning can be quite annoying, but then just keep them well charged and you should rarely get down to when it starts peeping ever minute or so.As much as I loved my headphones I was quite disappointed when one day they stopped functioning all together. But when I contacted customer service my problem was listened to, they proposed a few measures and when nothing worked out they offered a replacement that came promptly. That is more customer service that I would have expected for this price range.In summary a great product for a great price and a headphone I would recommend.

A la suite d'un "incident" avec une autre paire d'écouteurs, j'ai choisi ce modèle qui me semblait plus adapté à mon utilisation courante et peu intensive.Le résultat est très satisfaisant :- Livraison rapide (un jour avant la date prévue).- Bon emballage réglementaire protecteur- Les nombreux éléments (embouts caoutchoutés, câble de recharge, ...) livrés dans la boîte du produit sont bien conditionnés- Un petit sac velours muni d'une fermeture à ressort (crapaud) permet la protection des écouteurs pour leur transport- Une notice d'utilisation multilingue est présente (objet devenu rare et qui mérite d'être signalé)Pour les écouteurs eux-mêmes :- La recharge est facile et rapide mais prendre des précautions pour la manipulation du cache en caoutchouc (fragile) de la prise- Les embouts caoutchoutés assurent une parfaite isolation phonique extérieure (Attention à la circulation routière, danger principal lorsqu'on est en extérieur !...)- Les boucles qui accompagnent les embouts procurent un excellent maintien en place dans les oreilles et ne procurent aucune gêne- La télécommande comporte trois boutons caoutchoutés très faciles à appréhender même en courant- Une petite pince pivotante et coulissante (non représentée sur la photo du site) permet de fixer le câble sur le revers d'un vêtement- Une boucle de resserrage (également non représentée) autorise l'ajustement de la longueur du câble- Le dos de chaque écouteur étant magnétique, on peut ainsi les fixer entre eux et les garder autour du cou lors de la non utilisation- Enfin, connexion bluetooth ultra facile et rapideLa qualité sonore :- Facilité d'utilisation des différentes commandes pour le passage d'une écoute musicale à un appel téléphonique- Très bien pour la puissance réglable du volume- Très bonne restitution de la parole du corrrespondant- Très bonne qualité du micro pour le correspondant à l'écoute- Bonne restitution des graves et des aigus en musique ; mais ce ne sont que des écouteurs et pas un casque (bien évidemment !...)En conclusion : Un bon matériel soigné, performant et très bien adapté pour une utilisation courante mixte (intérieur - extérieur)

Auriculares que sincronizan muy bien con el móvil.Se escucha estupoendamente.Muy prácticos y a la vez con una batería larga

Für wen eignet sich das Produkt:Die Anker SoundsBuds Surge sind optimal für sportlich aktive Menschen und sind seit Kauf mein treuer Begleiter beim Joggen, Rudern und weiteren Sportarten. Selbst bei bewegungsintensiven Übungen, wie Burpees halten die Kopfhörer fest im Ohr. Der Bluetooth-Kopfhörer ist wasserfest und verspricht eine Akkulaufzeit von sechs Stunden. Besonders praktisch sind die magentischen Enden der Kopfhörer. Somit erspart man sich die Verstauung der Kopfhörer in den Hosentaschen und leidiges Entknoten der Kabel ;)Stärken und Schwächen:+ gut bei basslastiger Musik+ guter Tragekomfort, feste Halterung im Ohr, unterschiedlich große Aufsetze werden mitgeliefert+ ordentliche Verarbeitung- etwas klobig- bei niedrigem Akkustand wird jede 2 Min. daran durch einen Sound erinnert - nervig- die 6 Std. habe ich nie erreicht, allerdings nutze ich die Kopfhörer auch bei fast maximaler LautstärkePreis-Leistungs-Verhältnis:Für eine Investition in Höhe von 23 Euro bekommt man hier super Kopfhörer, die definitiv ihren Zweck erfüllen. Man erhält ein gutes Klangerlebnis zu einem fairen Preis. Ich würde die Kopfhörer definitiv weiterempfehlen, würde mir aber wünschen, dass softwareseitig die Ladeerinnerung deaktiviert werden kann.Edit:Ich muss an dieser Stelle den Anker-Kundensupport loben! Meine defekten Kopfhörer wurden anstandslos gegen ein Ersatzmodell ausgetauscht. Bei Kopfhörern dieser Preiskategorie erwartet man sowas eigentlich nicht. Aufgrund des sehr schnellen und netten Supportes erhöhe ich meine Bewertung auch auf 5-Sterne!
