If you actually use your phone as a phone get these headphones immediately!
I bought this because, working from home, any time there was any background noise on my end, it was intrusive to the conversation. Also, when talking to friends or family, if I wanted to do something like load the dishwasher or even unpack groceries while talking on my Airpod Pros, people on the other end heard the background noise more than my voice. Phone calls at airports were a nightmare on my Airpods.
These headphones are amazing at reducing background noise to the person you are talking to. I’ve had dogs barking, dishwasher loading and unloading, I even tested using the garbage disposal and vacuuming while talking on the phone and the person at the other end didn’t hear a thing! If it is windy out while using these outside, people say they can hear the wind a little. But consider that on my Airpod Pros, the same amount of wind made it impossible to have a conversation.
The sound quality is also very good. Surprisingly good bass in fact. Because they’re not in your ears, they are a little like transparent mode on Airpods. You can hear what’s going on around you. They sound better than the Aftershok bone conduction headphones. They seem a little quiet when playing music from my iPhone music app, but get plenty loud when listening to a phone call, YouTube, Netflix, etc. So I consider that an Apple issue, not an OLeap one.
They’re quite comfortable and the microphone swivels out of the way when not in use (that also is a second way to mute the microphone). They don’t stick into your ears, so they don’t hurt after a couple of hours, the way earbuds do.
When using my first set, the left channel stopped working after a week. So I sent them back and ordered another set. This one had the same problem after a couple of days, so I reached out to the manufacturer. Wow was I impressed with this company! They got back to me in a couple of hours and really took my issue seriously. They asked me some questions and we wound up doing an experiment. I put a drop of water on the earpiece (it is waterproof) and the sound was very muffled. When I dried it off, it went back to normal. Turns out I was sweating a good amount (I talk on the phone when walking the dog and it has been very hot and humid lately). So now when I’m walking and it’s hot, I just bring a tissue to dry them if it happens. In each part of the dialogue with the manufacturer, they got back to me right away with a real answer (not some cookie cutter pre-written stuff).
I’m very, very happy that I bought these, and I know that if there ever is a problem, the manufacturer will stand behind their product and be very responsive. So if you are looking for a really great bluetooth headset for phone calls, that you can wear comfortably all day and sound great when playing music too, you’ve just found them!
