Review: Merit Sweatproof Bluetooth 4.1 Headset

The Merit Sweatproof Bluetooth 4.1 Headset is great value workout headphone. I've been using them for a little while now and have very much enjoyed using them. While I am no workout junkie by any stretch (seriously), I found them a pleasure to use. Here is a breakdown of the pros/cons:

 
Pros:
+ Easy bluetooth pairing. Couldn't test NFC pairing on my iPhone 6+.
+ Lightweight.
+ Sweatproof. (Mowing the lawn in 100+ degree weather counts.)
+ Cable perfect length.
+ Excellent battery life and fast charging.
+ Microphone works great.

Neutral:
= Sound isn't best in class, but definitely better than default Apple Earpods.
= Siri doesn't work super great, but I didn't expect it to.

Cons:
- Kind of big.
- Inserts are a little stiff.

Overall, given the price and features, this is an excellent value. If you're looking for an audiophile pair of bluetooth headphones then these are definitely not it, but that's not the target market. These are meant to be a simple, no-fuss bluetooth headphone that will last for a while and deliver your tunes while breaking a sweat. Highly recommended.
