iansean Muset1c Wireless Sports Bluetooth 4.1 Stereo Apt-X Earbuds Handsfree (White)

I wanted a set of wireless in-ear headphones which I could wear in the hot tub, so I picked these based on the description and reviews in Amazon. They were exactly what I was looking for. The simple design is comfortable without requiring an abundance of plastic to hold them in place, and the sound quality is very good for the price. When you have a good in-ear seal, they are actually bass heavy so I've adjusted the equalization in the players I've tried to get a more pleasing, natural sound. I've compared them to my audiophile headphone/amp setup and they don't deliver the super crystalline sound of high end gear -- but that said, unless you're actively comparing them this way you'll find the stereo separation, frequency response, and lack of obvious distortion to be surprisingly good. Bass freaks should be happy with them more or less out of the box, and for everyone else they're very respectable once you tame the low end. The controls take a couple of minutes to figure out and the buttons are small, but I was able to connect to my new bluetooth transmitter (bought at the same time) and my phone without much trouble. They claim a range of 30 feet but the bluetooth signal is easy to disrupt beyond about 10 feet or with a lot of movement. This is not a problem for the way I'm using them but if range is important to you it might be worth doing a bit more research. I can't comment about their use as a phone headset since I have only been using them to listen to music. Note that the nice box has a couple of things almost hidden inside -- a charging cable and a small bag of alternative tips for getting a good in-ear fit -- it's worth experimenting with these to find the most comfortable tip that provides a good seal.

Update: Almost 5 years later and these are still working! I get multiple hours battery life still. I've had to patch the plastic that has cracked, but overall they still work great.-------I just purchased these because I like the "in ear" buds. I have the Cootree jogger that fits over the ear, however I felt like I wanted something that fit more securely.Sound:The sound is really crisp and clear. Great clarity from high to low. It is REALLY LOUD too. On the lowest volume setting it almost completely blocks out all other sound. I might even say that it is too loud at the lowest volume setting (I'm using a Moto X). There is a very subtle static right after pausing playback, or during silent parts. However, it isn't noticeable when playing music.Look/Feel:These are pretty small. They are a little bigger than a quarter. The plastic does feel a little cheap, but the rubber bumper helps.Fit:There are 3 ear bud sizes. The ear piece fits just into the ear canal. This makes it very secure on the head. I have yet to wear these for an extended time, so I can't comment just yet.Pairing:NFC pairing failed for me. Regular pairing was quick and easyButton Control Issues:My primary complaint has to do with the "multifunction button". A "single press" allows you to play/pause. A "double press" will redial the last number called. A "long press" is supposed to start the default app (along with a long beep) for voice control (siri, etc). I can't seem to get that to work with my Moto X. Holding down the button does nothing but power off the headset. I'm not sure if I have a defective unit. I'll have to test it with another device.

I have written this same review for TROND and TOTU bluetooth headsets as it compares the three. So I'm simply copying it here for people interested in this product. It's definitely a nice product, very nice looking, stylish, but could use some improvement, especially on the lack of "jump to the next or last song" function, and the weight of the product.I have tried three different bluetooth headphones so far: TROND, TOTU wireless bluetooth 4.0 noise canceling, and Muset 1c. Here's my comparison:- Sound quality: all impressive. I don't expect sound quality as good as a K701. But compared with normal earbuds such as iphone's, they are really not bad.- Noise canceling: From best to worst: TROND > Muset >= TOTU. TROND has a very obvious noise canceling effect, I have problem listening to people talking to me while having it on. Muset and TOTU almost not sensible. I can hear just as well what people are talking.- Comfort: Best to worst: TROND > Muset >= TOTU. Very important to me as I have small ear canal and a lot of headsets hurt my ears. TROND I can wear for long time without noticing it there. This is with its earpiece inserted into my ear canals. Muset's earbuds themselves are ok but the headset is a little heavy. So after some time you will feel the weight. TOTU is quite uncomfortable from the beginning. I quickly feel the pinch. Somehow its angle of the earpieces is a little weird that I even have problem inserting them.- Engineering Design: Best to worst: TROND > TOTU > Muset. TROND and TOTU have soft cable and suitable length. When you don't need them, you can just hang them on your neck. Very convenient. TROND is better in that it has a little cable-tight to help adjust the length. Muset uses a semi-elastic arc cable that has a fixed shape but bendable. You can also hang it on your neck but it's gonna hook inward around your neck with some pressure. In the summer it could feel annoying. TOTU's buttons are a little awkward. On the one hand, you easily touch the "play" button accidentally; on the other, when you are trying to press it on your ear, you either have to exert stress against your ear (which makes the already uncomfortable wear worse), or you have to carefully pinch the top with your two fingers. Muset's arrangement of buttons makes you prone to press the wrong buttons sometimes. TROND has it just right. Not so easy to press accidentally. You still have to use two fingers but not in an awkward position.- Function: TOTU >= TROND > Muset. Muset cannot jump to the next song or last song. The other two can. TOTU does it by press and hold the volume buttons. TROND does it the opposite way: press and hole the volume buttons adjusts the volume, while short press of volume buttons jump to the next or last song. I adjust volume more than I switch songs so I find this way a little awkward. I have some cellphone apps that play audio books. My Muset cannot control these apps while TOTU and TROND can.- Volume: Muset > TOTU ~ TROND. TOTU and TROND seem to have a lower maximum volume. But with the noise canceling of TROND, so far it suffices what I need.- Stylishness: Best to worst: Muset > TOTU > TROND. This is completely personal. Muset has a more sleek and futuristic design. Looks very stylish. TROND is a little dull and the chunky rectangular pieces protrude and point outward that people won't be able to miss the sight. It's not too ugly though. I absolutely love the look of Muset much better than the other two.With all things considered, I would buy TROND again.

Bought these solely because of the price, so was not expecting anything truly great. Wrong, They are very good earphones. Paired up with my devices straight away and work flawlessly. Glad I took a gamble on these. Well worth the money.

Amazing! easy to use, super comfy and great sound. Perfect for my mindfulness and meditation sessions as well as listening to my music.

Sound quality poor - TECEVO F3 much better.

This product is very good, simple to set up on your smartphone and works brilliantly. It is just a shame about the poor rechargeable battery capacity which lets these headphones down badly. I could only get a couple of hours with moderate use. With any modern Bluetooth device you need to be able to rely on at least 8 but ideally 12 hours of sturdy battery use before recharging, otherwise it is simply not a realistic option. I read all the previous Amazon UK reviews prior to purchasing these headphones. The previous reviews are completely true, these headphones simply sound "right", especially for vocals and on BBC radio iplayer. A clear, airy, stereo soundstage is presented. I even tried them on Youtube and the sound was excellent. A lot of current Bluetooth headphones available are simply rubbish. Real audiophiles want clarity, precision and musicality. For most people listening to music consists of a very, very, loud, bassy noise with muddled and incomprehensible vocals and instruments which is simply exhausting after listening for a short period. These headphones score on clarity and precision, but unfortunately, they do not score on musicality. You get no "goosebumps" when listening to a piece of music using these headphones. The sound is clear and functional.

This item is able to connect to and works fine with some of my devices and not on others. Unfortunately for me it is the devices that it doesn't connect to that I had intended its use for but I may use it sometimes none the less even though according to the small instructions they should be compatible. I have found it very difficult to switch between the devices that it does connect to (e.g phone and Ipod) and requires me to manually go and select it from the bluetooth settings rather than being able to automatically re-connect to them.The range and sound is good, not amazing as just sticking your head in a cupboard in the same room can have an affect it but otherwise does work when in the same room as the device. And the sound quality isn't top spec but I have also put up with much worse. Volume controls are a little fiddly to use and I often find that rather than changing the volume it does something else but I am still trying to master this even when my device volume is as low as can be it is still very loud in my ears especially when it is giving you instructions like "Your headset is connected" and "Power on/off".After a while I do find the earbuds become uncomfortable but you can usually get a reasonable amount of time listening to music before you really want to take them out and that is down to personal ear sizes etc, as I usually need to have the smallest buds for my ears and even with the smallest rubber parts these were still to big and hard.All in all this product could be much worse but it could also be much better. If it weren't past the return policy date I would probably return them but I wanted to give them a proper chance to grow on me which they have not and subsequently ran out of time.
