After spending a few days with the 1byOne Wireless Sports Earphones, I've come to really enjoy the attention to detail that was put into this particular set.

Let first start with the sound. In my opinion, this is one of the more important aspects to reviewing any kind of headset, because if the sound is not any good, then the rest of the features don't mean a whole lot. Now I do not claim to be an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination, but what I can say is that this set was an absolute joy to listen to.  Lows were surprisingly punchy, mids were clearer than most other bluetooth sets I've reviewed and highs were not shrill. I have a wide variety of musical tastes from classical and rock to techno and pop. All were extremely pleasant to listen to. From a sound standpoint, these are the best bluetooth headsets I have used.

Next is comfort. I'm really not an earbud type of headphone listener, mostly because most any type hurt my ears after a while. These were no exception, however, I grade comfort of earbuds on how long it takes for them to become uncomfortable and these did surprisingly well. I did find that around mid-day that my ears were starting to hurt a little and had a take a break, one of a few during my work day.  With that said, these are among the more comfortable ear buds I've tried on any headphone, wired or bluetooth.

Battery life was exactly as advertised and gave me the "battery low" cue after 7.5 hours of continuous use. They were quick and easy to charge which I can definitely appreciate. A few other small details to mention are they were easy to sync and had no issue here (this  isn't always true with this category amazingly enough). There's a small LED to let you know it's doing something, and trust me, it's handier than you may think. It'll flash blue and red when attempting to sync and red when charging. It's the small details that really help.

The only place I had any problems were with the microphone. All the commands for siri work as advertised, but when I was talking with people on the phone, they had a hard time hearing me. This may be that I have a big head and the band is a little short on me, causing the mic to sit a little ways behind cheek. Maybe a little more length to the band could have alleviated this for me. Though it probably won't be the same for others so it may not be an issue for  most people.

Pros:

+ Sounds is excellent!

+ Comfortable for earbuds.

+ Great battery life.

+ Sleek looks (love the color).

+ Presentation is great as well as packaging.

+ Ease of use and attention to detail.

Cons:

- Band length a little on the short size for me.

- Related to above, but mic was a little weak and people had a hard time hearing me.

Overall, this is a fantastic set of bluetooth headphones. I appreciate the attention to the small details such as the great packaging, sleek looks, excellent sound, useful yet discreet status LED, and simple syncing and charging. Even for a set of earbuds, these are a fantastic product and I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a quality bluetooth set, especially if sound quality and looks are high on your list.
