Ecsem Bluetooth Headphones

Screen Shot 2015-01-26 at 3.03.30 PMI’ve used so many bluetooth headsets over the years that I have literally lost count. I primarily use these headsets in the gym and/or while running. They are ideally suited for the situations where you don’t want to have any cords dangling around your head. However, most of the ones I’ve used (even the top quality from renown brands) are sadly not waterproof, and all of them have a tendency to fail after few months of use. So I have reluctantly accepted the fact that as long as I insist on using the Bluetooth headsets in the gym, I will have to replace the headset on a somewhat regular basis. This is one of the main reasons why I have a strong preference for cheap headsets that just get the work done. In that regard this Ecsem headset is ideal for my purposes. Its quality, however, turned to be much higher than I had expected.

**** Sound Quality ****

I’ve come to expect that the Bluetooth headsets, especially the small ones, don’t have the best sound quality. This is mostly OK for my purposes – using the headset to listen to the music while working out. However, this Ecsem headset has a surprisingly high quality of music. The sound is clear and crisp, and I actually enjoy listening to the music coming from this headset. It will, of course, not impress any die-hard audiophile, but for an inexpensive sports headset this is probably the best sound quality that you will come across.

**** Comfort ****

There are several earbud options that come with this headset, so they will probably fit into almost any ear. The fit is pretty comfortable, and the headset doesn’t fall off while running. It is *extremely* lightweight, probably the lightest one I’ve come across, so much so that I could barely feel its presence.

**** Piring up ****

It took a bit of fiddling around, but I essentially had not problem pairing up this headset with my iPhone 6 plus.

**** Cons/Issues ****

I don’t like the fact that this headset uses a somewhat nonstandard charging cable – a thin barrel one, instead of the more customary micro USB cable. The charging port is also exposed, which could be an issue with the prolonged use – sweat and water could get in there and damage it.
