I mean come on. I am so disappointed in this product. As far as I know, their clothing, wetsuits, etc. to agree to that.
It seems most "American" companies (if you can call them that since nothing is made here anymore) are all going the same route these days: Make crap for as cheap as possible; pawn it off on the unsuspecting public; worry more about profit and bottom-line than taking pride in products; CEOs laugh about it while they cruise around on their yachts. I actually believe this is beyond shoddy craftsmanship and products this bad should be illegal to sell, but try getting the fat-cats in D.C. Apparently, my pair worked exactly how they were designed to work: not at all. At first I thought I got a bad pair; then I read the reviews here.
I bought these headphones with the assumption that Body Glove would not put their name on a poor product. (bought in a store not from Amazon), so if they had lasted only 6 months to a year, maybe I would understand. Having previously lived in a beach town for 3 years, the Body Glove brand is well-known to me. I realize they were only $[.].
I haven't even owned them a week, and already one of the earpieces stopped working. are all top-notch. Boy was I wrong.
But the sound was good while they lasted. But when the second one broke (the wires break and the sound is gone) I decided to ditch the headset completely. These would get four stars if I hadn't gone through two of them in a short period of time. Fellowes (the company who makes the product)replaced the first one, no questions asked, without me needing to send back the broken set.
The connection between the wire and the 2.5mm jack is the weak point. I purchase two sets of Body Glove's Earglove Sport ear buds at a local retailer and in both cases they worked great for about 1 month.
I love many of the features of this model and it works well, but they break and that just won't do. This has always been my favorite hands-free set, but I have got through so many of them that I have finally given up on them. They break so quickly and easily that it just isn't worth it.
So, it slips off my ear easily. However, I can't recommend it for people on the go. Does not stay in or on my ear. I will say that the sound quality is very good and there have been no complaints about the microphone. The ear bud has a thick cord and it's impossible to orient it properly so it doesn't stay in the ear. The over the ear piece is too thick with my glasses and doesn't hold the ear.
