I try my best to exercise every single day. Running, lifting, aerobic, anaerobic...you name it. Music is a crucial component for many of us to get through our workouts. It gets me hyped up pre- workout. It keeps me pumped up and gives me that little extra boost needed for a more satisfying workout. It also helps me pass the time during those longer and more strenuous workout days. Not to mention if you go to a public gym, it helps you block out all those extra loud noises coming from those obnoxious lifters who want everyone to know that they're pushing their limits. Seriously, you try pushing weight with some random dude going PSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTT in your ear as loud as he can during the upswing of every bench press rep...it is just so so terrible.Now before I purchased these bluetooth headphones, I was using your regular run of the mill corded sport headphones. They did their job, but came with a few inconveniences. I can't tell you how many times the cord got caught on a piece of equipment or got pulled down with my shirt, throwing me off midway through a set. Not only that, but you have to deal with your iPod/ phone/ MP3 player falling out of your pocket every now and then or accidentally hitting it with weights when your form requires you to rest our dumbbells or bar on your lap.Thankfully these bluetooth headphones have changed all of that. Their bluetooth wireless capability removes all the snags and pulls that come with a long hanging cord. Just hold the power button for 3 seconds and it connects to your bluetooth device almost instantly and remained connected with no interference (although to be fair I haven't really tested their connection limits yet). Not only that, but they come with both volume control and actual music control right at the top of the right ear piece. This allows you to listen to and control what music is being played without actually having to carry your iPod/ phone/ MP3 around. That means no more falling out of pockets, no more banging against weights.All in all this makes a nice addition to make anyone's workout a little easier to complete. They are light, they are stylish (has those Beats By Dre look), their small cord doesn't get in the way of anything, they come with a nice little carrying case and USB charger (see the image below for all that it comes with), and thanks to the hooks they actually stay in your ear. My only gripe with them is that they are said to possess noise cancellation technology, which I haven't really been able to experience thus far. The inner ear plugs help block out a decent amount of the external sound, but I wouldn't classify that as noise cancellation. I also cannot vouch for how durable they are yet, as I haven't had these long enough as some of the other reviewers who have complained about them falling apart on them...but so far so good.Update: Just got a two more pairs for my brother and dad.Note: I purchased this product at a discount in exchange for an honest review, and this IS my honest and unbiased thoughts on this product.  Read Less
