TREBLAB XR500 Bluetooth Running Headphones

I go through quite a few sets of earbuds. In all this is my 3rd set of bluetooth earbuds, and I can honestly say that I think that the technology is finally to the point that I have all but abandoned wired earbuds.Pros:1) Really good sound. Are they perfect? No. Are they better than 90% of WIRED earbuds under $100? Absolutely. One thing that is really key here is the compression for bluetooth audio has come a long way in the last few years. If your phone is capable of using the apt-x compression that these earbuds use, the audio quality is very good. IMPORTANT: You must make sure to use the equalizer on your phone to ensure you are getting the highest quality sound and to tailor the sound to your preference.2) Battery life. I use these basically all day while working. I generally get a good 8 hours listening time, and they charge VERY quickly. I have not timed how long it takes to go from dead to fully charged, partially because it is fairly fast. A quick 5-10 minute charge can get fairly significant amount of playing time.3) Comfort. I keep these things in my ears for hours on end and had no problems with comfort. The ear hooks are soft silicon, and while I was initially concerned that they were not adjustable, they are very flexible and contribute to stability, while not being to stiff. I also use these for running and have completed a dozen or so runs using them. I have had few problems with this, although on a couple of long sweaty runs, the silicon hooks and ear cups started getting slick from being wet with sweat, and the fit was not quite as secure. I used my sweat rag to dry them and my ears off to help the situation, but they did get a little annoying on the particularly long hot runs. Not a huge deal though.4) Cable. The flat cable really helps with keeping the tangles to a minimum. The coating also does not get as slick when sweaty, or as stiff when cold as previous earbud cables that I have had. Nice touch.5) Mic. Of the bluetooth head sets that I have owned, this is the first I have owned where I did not get complaints about not being able to be heard, or sounding funny.Cons:1) Connection. This is a tricky one, and not necessarily the fault of these earbuds since the phone you are connecting to factors into this as well. In general the connection is very good. If I leave my phone on my desk, I can get a good 20-30 feet away before the connection begins cutting out. However when using these for runs and workouts is where the issues come in. If my phone is "Secured" snug to my body, in a pocket, or in a running belt, the signal will cut out sometimes when I turn my head to check traffic and such. I have had this problem with other bluetooth headsets as well (almost identical response) so I am sure this is not a problem with this headset in particular. Overall the connection is good, this just becomes a minor annoyance. I will say the last pair I had, had a worse problem, sometimes cutting out but not picking the signal back up, and not fully disconnecting. That was SUPER annoying. I have not had that problem with this set at all so far.2) Design. Just a couple of annoyances here. I do not like the location of the power/pause/play button. It sits directly on the spot my finger goes to, to push the earbud in when it starts slipping out. So if I am running and my ears are sweaty, I end up pushing the pause button when I am pushing it back in.I also do not care for the location of the status light. It points forward so that if you have the earbud in and you are facing someone, they see it flashing, and the thing is pretty bright. It would be better if in pointed down, or even toward your head.3)Using one earbud. I have fixed this problem on my own, but it would be nice if a set of clothing clips were included to secure the wire to your clothes. I frequently use just one earbud so I can hear my surroundings, and if I do not secure the center of the cable to my shirt at the back of my neck, the loose earbud will pull on the other earbud. I fixed this problem by using the cable slide provided with the unit to make a loop at the center of the cable, and then attaching a cable clip with a swivel hook. I then can clip the cable to the shirt at the back of my neck. Viola! Problem solved.4)Phone Battery drain. This one has absolutely nothing to do with this particular set of earbuds, but is a con to using bluetooth in general. When listening to music with these my phone battery usage increases by double or more. Add on top of that my phone battery sucks in general, and I pretty much have to keep my phone plugged in all day to keep my phone useable.Overall, these earbuds work great and I am happy with them. They are a bit pricier than other competitors on the market, but they are pretty solid with a few annoyances. Best bluetooth earbuds I have owned yet.

As a runner, I've definitely gone through my share of headphones, and I'm usually looking for the cheapest but best quality I can find since I seem to go through so many. There's a great lack in quality across the board for good-sounding headphones, Bluetooth or not, and options can vary on quality drastically from one person to the next. I compare all headphone sound quality with all EQ options turned off on my phone or any other device. Then you can EQ the headphones to your liking better, which some people may want to do with these.I absolutely love these headphones so far. I actually loved them so much, that when I lost them at a race after only having them for a week or two, I nearly immediately bought them again! The charge lasts a long time, not sure exactly how long yet, but I will find out shortly. They get daily use especially since they are waterproof as I run and listen to music usually no less than an hour every day.The sound quality is more geared to those who want more bass in their "buds" in my view. This is nice for a change! Nearly all my music is within the bass-centered genres from chill-step, to classical themes, to high-energy trance and house. These buds do very well with my music taste, though I do dabble with the EQ at times.These are lighter, sleeker, and look much better than many of the other ones out there with a battery life such as it has. My previous pair had a long battery life, but looked like giant gaudy bulbs sticking out of my eardrums. These just look so much cooler ;-)The fit can be tricky. They try to supply you with every earbud you could possibly need to try, and sometimes I use different ones for different ears. For these to sound their best, take the time to fit them optimally. The earstrap doesn't really do much. It's so flexible that I'm not sure it does much to keep the earbud in place, but you don't notice it's there at all since it's so light and soft. I almost wish it was a bit more useful or adjustable in some way for smaller ears. At times, while running, I'll find out one of them has slipped in front of my ear strangely. So having a smaller size or stiffer/more adjustable around-the-ear hook might help some with getting these to stay in place well.I'm still trying to get the fit just right myself, because if I'm running hard, the earbuds often start to get loose after a mile or so, but I'll get it right. The cord is short and light weight on these which is fantastic, because some BT earbuds have really long cords that get in the way no matter what you do. The cord is light enough that it does not cause any pulling on the earbud, like some Bluetooth buds do.Buttons are easy to use and plenty versatile. Pairing is super fast and easy. This is an amazing option in this price range, in my opinion, especially if you feel like you've never found earbuds with enough bass in them. I'm not sure how many Bluetooth headphones in the higher/expensive price range would compare, honestly, I think they'd be hard to beat. Recommend: Yes, even for activities such as running. Once you find the perfect fit, they are absolutely awesome!

I'm pretty shocked that a $40 pair of bluetooth headphones could sound better than a pair that is three times the cost! I purchased these headphones because my Jaybird Freedom Wireless headphones stopped working after one month of usage. While I was sent a new pair from Jaybird I didn't want to wait for headphones to use in the gym. So I ordered these.First off they are the same design as the Beats Power Beats. The ear hooks are very VERY soft.I was worried that the hooks would give me sore ears but I was shocked to find how comfortable the hooks really were. The hooks feel like soft gel. The only complaint I have with the hooks is that there is no way to adjust the height on them. The actual hook is built in to the headphones, so you can't make the ear hooks any shorter.The charging port is found under the right ear base and has a cover for it. I believe this is the design flaw of the Jaybird's as the charging port is exposed and sat on my neck. This is important because if you sweat a lot you want to have that port covered. So, I have had no problems sweating all over these headphones. No problems whatsoever.The volume buttons are a little weird your volume up is actually closer to your ear whereas the volume down is the further away button. This took a little time to get used to. The volume on these can get pretty loud which is a plus because I've had issues with other bluetooth headphones that I needed to get to be able to volume up one more time to get to my volume sweet spot. These hit that spot and some!The headphones come with a little round cable manager, which I have already lost. I would have liked to see the manufacturer throw in two of these because then I would have had the wire dangling down my neck slapping me with every step. The slapping was probably the demise of the cable manager.You get a carrying case which is a great design and very compact. Inside you have two sets of ear tips. You get the standard gel that most in-ear headphones give you and then a set of Comply foam tips. I haven't used the Comply foam tips yet on this pair, but I have used them on my previous headphones and I love them. However, they are consumable ear tips meaning the foam will wear down eventually causing you to purchase more. However you will get the best fit with the foam tips. I have been using the stand gel ones, and while they take a bit of work to find that sweet spot. I can find the sweet spot where I have excellent bass and treble. Normally with gel tips I only hear treble. So, if you're like me and have problems finding the bass with gel tips then you're in luck because you can find the bass.Charging these headphones seemed to be around one hour to charge fully. The charging cable you get is tiny maybe 3 inches long. The claim is that they last nine (9) hours. I haven't let them get all the way down, but I can go five days to the gym and still have time left. So, I've been able to get at the minimum six (6) hours of music play.As for sound. These have blown my mind. I can't understand why they sound as good as they do. That's not to say that the headphones are perfect. There is, at times a little muddling which is caused by the extra bass the manufacturer has thrown in but for $40 these sound stellar. I'm not an audiophile, but I want my music to sound clear with decent bass and treble. The headphones definitely do the trick, and even sound better than my Jaybird's. However, for sound quality on phone calls. The audio is much more muddled sounding than the audio which is odd. So, if you're looking for a headphones to give crisp clear sounding phone calls you may want to look elsewhere.Other notes: I've ran in the rain (downpour style) with these and had no problems. I wish that there was some sort of notification that told me the battery life left on the headphones. Time will truly tell how long these work, but I've had them for a few months and I've been very satisfied with my purchase.Pros: ■ Price! Price! Price! ■ Excellent sound quality for the price ■ Excellent battery life ■ Excellent ear tips ■ Great ear tip options includedCons: ■ Cable management is not good ■ Muddled sound on phone calls ■ No battery life notification ■ Weird volume up/down placement

I really want to give these bluetooth a 5, but just can't. I received them yesterday and the sound is great. They paired with my S6 very easily and the play time is great. The one click volume up & down works great. The one thing that kept them from getting 5 stars is the ear hooks. They are extremely flimsy and might as well not even be there. The do not do a very good job at hugging around the ear. Not sure they would stay in if wearing during any activity. If the ear hooks were a little bit stiffer to secure them on the ear this would be an easy 5 star pair of bluetooth earbuds. They are good enough to keep because of the incredible sound quality so I guess they will be my at work or around the house earbuds, but not for wearing when I have to do a lot of moving around.

I purchased these headphones after considering many options (very pricey options) and I will say this... Buy these headphones. The value for your money cannot be beat. I use them at the gym, jogging, shopping - you name it. I'm not having to frequently adjust them in my ears during my workout (my ears are small). The sound quality is awesome. Most headphones have lousy bass quality but these babies are a real surprise, and at the gym I want BIG base sound! You don't like, you can always adjust using your device's equalizer settings. The volume level gets pretty loud...another feature I love, so you don't have to have it at max volume to hear your music. The range is decent, but I don't leave my device away from me, so not good judge on range. And most important, these things...I don't get any annoying ambient noise leaking through. In the gym I can't hear people talking, weight clanks, cardio equipment running. Outside there's no wind sound. Probably the best feature of all for me. The only sound is my music. I get sweaty as I have thick hair, and they definitely get wet, but no issues so far. Yes you have to find the right bud size for your ears, but they give you quite a few different sizes to choose from. Considering the price, this is hands down the best $40 spent on Bluetooth headphones ever. I am not one to say something is great, heck I don't ever really do reviews, but if you're like me, the reviews...especially negative ones are golden to me. So, this is a glowing review, from someone who hopes it helps the next person out. I have only had them for about a week and so far they're fantastic. Hopefully I remember to add more to this review in a few weeks/months, but unless they just crap out and turn to junk I doubt that. So for now just know these are great! Get a pair!

love these, they sound much better than beats at a fraction of cost. My beats broke after having them for only three months. I looked around for a replacement and found these at a fraction of the cost. I love these, great product. I highly recommend these.

It's got great sound quality, very comfortable, awesome battery life, and...most importantly...a MUTE FUNCTION!Since I spend a lot of time on conference calls, the ability to mute very quickly and easily without reaching for my cell phone is invaluable. By simultaneously pressing the volume up + volume down buttons, the microphone is muted, and it reminds you of such every 10 seconds or so with a couple of tones.People can hear me when I want them to, and don't hear me when I don't. Perfect.

**I am NOT getting any incentive for writing this review**These headphones freak'n ROCK!! Crisp sound, deep bass, but not over-powering. You can hear the entire range of sound in your music, as if you are playing your music on a home stereo system. Comfortable...? YES! VERY light weight. The ear hooks are SOFT; like I was wearing nothing. I spent the entire day doing out side activities,( yard work, riding my bike, hiking), they did not fall out, and again like wearing nothing at all. For the comfort level, high quality sound and the price you will NOT be disappointed.

These are my first pair of Bluetooth headphones and are fantastic! The sound quality is really amazing and I was surprised. No weird reverberations at all. Clear and crisp sound quality. Very stylish and sleek design. They are also very comfortable and easy to transition in and out of ear. Super easy to charge and set up Bluetooth with phone. I ordered the SENSO earbuds for my mom so we could compare. I think the sound quality on the TREBLAB is slightly better, but very similar in design. I will update on battery life and proximity soon.

I am not a paid advertiser, just a simple consumer. After shopping for new headphones for more than two weeks I was exhausted by reading customer reviews, comparing products, researching technology, and just trying to find that perfect product for the price. I was really leaning towards high end headsets like Beats or some other more notable brand.Then I found TRELAB XR500. Despite the varying reviews I still had some hesitation about purchasing this product. But with the price point I decided to take the risk. The risk was worth it. Here is a brief list of why I love these headphones and why I would recommend this product to others:1. Sound quality is exceptional2. Easy connectivity with iPhone 7 or other devices3. Battery length is about 4 to 5 hours consecutive usage4. Light weight and comfortable (forget they are even on)5. Price is well below the functionality, quality, and performance of the productSince I am a novice, these are some minor areas that could be deemed as potential negatives:1. When using bluetooth for phone conversations it is hard to be heard or conversations break up2. Would love battery life to be longer but hey who really can complain3. Depending on preference, the earpiece could be slightly less bulky or smaller (if fashion matters to you)Overall, without hesitation I would recommend this product and would re-order this item if needed. Happy with my purchase and pleasantly surprised by the overall quality, sound, and comfort of the TREBLAB XR500.

All the positive reviews are correct ... these are Amazing earbuds. Very well made, very light weight...after a little while does not feel like you are wearing earbuds. Very bass heavy which I like. Very easy set up...click Settings icon on your phone...click on Bluetooth...hold the Red Trelab red logo button on the earpiece for 4 seconds and blue light will flash...the Trelab XR500 name will appear then you click on that and earbuds will start playing! Best and loudest music setting on Apple Iphone ... go to settings on phone...click on Music setting....click on EQ ....choose “Late Night” that is the loudest and best setting. You can leave your phone on coffee table and walk around home and music still plays....up to 50 - 100 feet range from the phone! You do not have to carry your phone with you! I tried my co-workers $300.00 Bose custom earbuds and those sounded tinny and weak compared to these! First song I listened to was Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell and sounds like you are in the concert hall with the band playing right there. I listened to Beethoven Bagatelle for Piano in A Minor and sounds like you are standing beside the piano! Normally I buy Dr. Dre Beats or Sennheiser but these beat them all. It also comes in a nice round carry case. Makes the perfect gift for nieces and nephews. I am now interested in the XR800...will buy those but cannot beat the price of these for 30 bucks. Earbuds wires are so annoying... these ear hooks are so comfortable too ....I will never buy earbuds without these ear hooks anymore.

I bought these so I could do my water workouts with MUSIC. What I did NOT expect was the kind of high quality sound that comes through these little headphones... nor did I expect the quality of the microphone to be so SWEET for talking on the phone via bluetooth.They are extemely comfortable in the ears, too. The piece that goes over and around the ear is flexible; it flops right into place. There is no mutual interference between the earpiece of my glasses vs the TrebLab headphones. The tip fits softly but snugly into the ear canal. once in place, these things don't move until you deliberately move them (or someone yanks on the cord which joins them - but ANY of them come out when they encounter babies or puppies that Pull On Stuff)FAR better quality sound, construction, and comfort than what I'd expected for the price!

These ear buds arrived and are just as advertised. The sound quality is fantastic. Materials are strong and fit and finish shows attention to detail and quality. After the initial charge the battery life is just what is claimed, I have gotten well over 9 hours with each charge. The two sets of ear pieces are very nice. Using them at work I prefer the black noise suppression set. My black set came through with three of the pieces a bit flattened. A quick note to tech support and a new set were sent to me right away.The carrying case is nice but can be a bit difficult to get all the ear pieces and charging cord arranged so the ear buds fit without having to squish it all down and zip the case. A wee bit bigger case would be a great thing.Overall a GREAT product, EXCELLENT and quick customer service. Almost more impressed with customer service than the ear buds.

I love these little headphones. Music and calls sound clear in them. They do cancel out sound. I work in a room of cubicles and with them on, you can stand behind me and talk and I might not know you're there.

OK so maybe I don't love it. But my wife does. That's good enough for me. She loves it enough that I have answered the call to leave a review. Isn't that what these things are all about? This only usually happens if we love something or we hate it. I have a TON of wired headphones from Bose, to Audio Technica, Sony to V Moda and more... I love THEM so much that I got a bluetooth dongle thingie so I can use them wirelessly. My wife periodically uses them when she is listening to her shows in bed. She needed something for work so I decided to forego the TJ Max counter line specials and spend a little bit more for these guys based on reviews. She never goes anywhere without these now and keeps them always charged. Granted she's not as much of an audiophile as I am, but for the minute or so she let me try them, I heard the highs, the lows and the mids as I would expect them on my wired cans. After switching out the earpieces, they stay in her ear pretty well. The true testament to how much she loves these headphones? My phone data plan now needs upgrading, which means she is streaming infinitely more than she ever has before. If I'm ever in the market for an extra set for myself, I only need to check my previous Orders list here and re-order.
