JLab Audio Gravity Bluetooth Wireless Neckband | Bluetooth 4.1 | Titanium 10mm Drivers | 10 Hour Battery Life | 3.5mm Headphone Jack Plug-in | Black

I've had these for a couple weeks now and can also attest to them being a great value for the versatility that they offer. I'll skip the specs since they're already posted everywhere.So here's what I like:-These were meant to serve as a one and done type of neck band. Use whichever standard 3.5mm headphone you like. I don't have a lot of earbuds to choose from, but I did plug in the Samsung Galaxy S4 buds and they sound great. I also have a pair of older V-Moda earbuds that I have also plugged in. It sounds just as excellent as if I were to plug them directly into the phone.-Battery Life: I wanted to use these for a couple weeks before commenting. Battery life is top notch as I was able to easily get around 10 hours on full charge, sometimes more. At one point, I was able to get close to 12 hours at the lowest volume setting.-Volume: Depending on how your phone or device handles bluetooth will probably depend on how the volume works. When I first got them, it would control the phone's media volume when using the buttons. This was inconvenient, as the phone adjusted volume in higher steps. So one click up could end up being louder than you want. But I would assume, after a phone software update, changing the volume only adjusted the volume of the neckband. The increments were a lot smaller, so one notch up would be perfect, rather than more than what you need. YLMV on this.-Controls: They're easy enough to use. hold the play button to power on/off/pair/pause. Holding volume up/down changes tracks forward/backwards.-Audio prompts: It lets you know the level of battery in the form of "Battery level high/medium/low" and tells you when you're paired after turning on. There's also a led light to let you know that it's on and paired. When you're battery is about to be completely drained, it lets you know three times before powering off. They're probably about 5 minutes apart.-The neckband itself: It's flexible unlike the other neckbands that LG and other's make. This allows you to curl them up for easier storage and transport. The cable management clips will hold just about any standard round cables, flat ones (like my S4), and even braided round ones (my V-Moda). However, the clips are pretty stiff, so it'll take a little more effort getting the braided ones on.-Charge time: I think it's like an hour and half for full charge. That is pretty good for 10 hours of music. I have other bluetooth earbuds that take just as long, but for only around 5 hours of playback.Now here's what I didn't like/nitpicks/observations:-The controls: They're easy enough to use, but they're not as pronounced or extrude far out enough to get a clear feel for what's what. Most times, you have to feel for a bit before finding which is which. You can't really see them either, so you're going off memory. Not a terrible thing, but I think they can improve on these.-The neck band: They're really flexible, which might not be for everyone. With the added cable wrap on the back, now you're dealing with weight back there. This, for me, causes a shift in the neckband to move from one side to the other if you move around a lot. I tuck the side without controls into my shirt collar, while the other sticks out. This helps, but doesn't work all the time.-The cable wrap: It's a soft rubber cover. It has a nice feel and texture, but you really have to take the time to get your cable wrapped in there without them sticking out. Perhaps maybe include a rubber band of some type to put over the cables after you've wrapped them to keep excess wires in place.-The included ear buds: They sound okay. I didn't expect much from them at all. If you like ear bleeding highs, these are it. The in ear clips that come with them are really soft as well, so they don't do a very good job of holding them in.-The charging port cover: It serves it's purpose, but pops out easier than it should. If you're a heavy sweater, this might pose a problem.-Cable management: The clips work well if you use both earbuds. For me, I only use one so I can hear the surrounding environment. That leaves the other just dangling. Not a big deal, I just tuck it into my shirt with the other end. I suppose you could just wrap it around the cable wrap. but you'd still have to clip them in to keep them in place.Note: I found it easier for me to put the Y split of the cable on first in the wrap, then wrapping the rest of the cable around it. This allows for a even amount of cable on each side of the earphone. The tricky part is if the plug portion is longer/shorter than what you have left for the wrap. You kind of have to get creative to get the snug look by tucking the cable under each other.Overall: These are a excellent value for what you get. Sure, you're paying extra for buds. But the upside is that this neckband is relatively inexpensive. This allows you to have an endless possibility of earphones to choose from. It lets you decide on what kind of sound, fit, or look you want. It's hard to not recommend these, even with my nitpicks.Update: After having logged more active usage with this unit, it has become apparent that the floppy design has caused it fall to the sides more than it should. For example, if you're turning your head often, the soft rubber of the band tends to stick or as least the friction of it on your neck causes it to move side to side. Sometimes it'll move quite a bit to where I have to keep positioning back to the middle. Perhaps a design refresh could solve the issue. For now, I have to knock off a star because of this.

I have jLab J6 earbuds that I really like. Except...cables are soooo 2009. I tried a Bluetooth headset like this with retractable buds. It sucked. But hey it was cheap. Easily thrown away. But to spend $80 on something that only got 3/5 stars? Whut? The probability of breakage when you use these to be active is pretty high so I wasn't even about to blow $300+ on a "known" good set.Anyway $40 later and you can use the earbuds of your choosing... FANTASTIC.The cord management could use some work but it ain't THAT bad. You just don't want to be swapping out earbuds on a whim until you get slick with the process.Quality loss over Bluetooth compared to direct wired seems to be minimal.Four stars only because I don't know how the battery will hold up.Floppy design...VERY floppy. But doesn't seem to pose problems. Hasn't fallen off me yet and I jumped around. Dunno if you're gonna be doing somersaults with these though. The flexibility should aid in durability. Unless you run over them with your 9 ton vehicle like that one poor fellow.Oh, and the description says that the included earbuds are already in place in the Gravity. They're not. They're package separately in the box. I was going to try them and if they sounded good enough, use them instead of the J6. Since they weren't already attached, I figured it's probably not worth the effort in case they're disappointing. Instead, the J6 went right to work.Still need to put it through its paces at work to find out about battery life. Based on sound alone though, I'll probably get another pair if they don't last all day and simply swap them since I found two more pair of J6 in my basement, brand new, that I never opened.Day 2 Update: I've used this set for two consecutive shifts at work, each approximately 12 hours long. The battery not only held a charge with nearly continuous audio (probably a good 90% of the time) for the entire shift, but it indicated only half of the battery was depleted. To me, that's excellent. Compared to the 4-5 hours I was lucky to get out of the cheap eBay set I had previously, this is amazing.It's not flawless though. I've tried voice search (Google) with very mixed results. I don't know if it's the position of the microphone, the loud vehicle, poor microphone quality, or perhaps not using the microphone at all and still trying to get it through the phone's mic for some reason. I haven't made or received any phone calls with it to know how well the mic picks up when it's definitely for certain being used. I will update about that later.

These just showed up and I have been using these for the past few days, yard work ect. The cable management works but the band with the earbuds is not as sleek as other options. It is not a problem for me but may be for some. They sound great. The included earbuds are OK but not the best. I hooked up my jlabs Epics and they sound terrific. I generally notice a sound quality fall off between Wired and Bluetooth headsets but it is minimal with the Gravity and the Epics. I have tried many other budget headsets, MPOW Jaws, Coulax and Skullcandies. The MPOWs and the Coulax units sound decent for the price but they do not hold up. I have generally gotten 30 to 60 days from the lower priced bands then they lose a right or left earbud. The Skullcandies did not do multipoint well, my son still uses them and they are holding up. I had and LG 760 that just up and died after 6 months and at that price point it was surprising and the sound quality was not there either. Multipoint on the Gravity unit has been working well between my LGG4 and Microsoft 950, I have been pleased. My main concern with the Gravity is the cable clips that manage the attached earbuds. If those are lost this package will fall apart. They work well but I always end up losing these things on other headset. The seem very secure but so have others. JLabs should include a 2nd set in the package. I hope the Gravity holds up and being able to swap out the earbuds is a great idea.
