G8 Bluetooth Earpiece Wireless Mini Earbud, 6 Hrs Playtime 2 Magnetic USB Chargers Invisible Headphone Tiny Smallest Headset Car Earphone with Mic for Samsung Galaxy -Khaki (1 Piece)

This little bluetooth earbud is pretty much everything I want. It is very light, very small, has exceptional battery life, is easy to charge, can connect with multiple devices at once, switching between them on the fly, and doesn't hurt your ear because it is held in only by the rubber bud. PROS: Extremely Small Good Bluetooth Range Loud Long Battery Life (4+ Hours Easily) Wireless Charging (sort of) Two USB Chargers Connects with Multiple Devices CONS: Sub-par Sound Quality Can Fall Out of Ear Honestly, there is little more that I would want from this earbud. Does it fall out of your ear sometimes like others have been complaining? Yes, if you are walking or running, you'll probably have to push it back in with some frequency. That doesn't mean it comes flying out unexpectedly, it just shakes loose, just like most other earbuds, and that's why some designs have rubber attachments that wrap around your ears. However, I didn't buy that model, I bought this one, and having to push the bud back in from time-to-time is far less annoying than having to strap on a crazy hearing-aid style wrap-around, personally. Also, since it comes with three different sized rubber earbuds, it is moderately customizable to your ear. The "wireless charging" is awesome. How it works is the little USB chargers have two prongs in the center of an indentation that has a magnet behind it. The earbud sticks to the magnet and slides onto the prongs. If you practiced, you probably could throw it at the charger and have it start charging. I really can't stress how simple it is to attach, it's mildly magical. The magnet latches on and about a second later, the blue LED on the earbud turns and you know it is charging. Pairing it with a bluetooth device is simple: When the earbud is off, hold down the button for about 5 seconds. At about second 3 you'll hear a slightly accented voice say "Device On" and then at second 5 it says "Device Ready to Pair" (I may be paraphrasing here). At that point you need to tell your bluetooth source (be it your phone, or your laptop, GPS, car, whatever) to start searching for a bluetooth device, and it should find a GoNovate G8 and then pair up after about 5 seconds or so. Then the voice will say "Device Connected" and you may even see the G8's power bar on your bluetooth source's screen. I can confirm it does this with the iPhone 5s, but does not with the MacBook Pro, for whatever reason. You can have the G8 paired with multiple devices and run them simultaneously. HOWEVER: It will play audio from only ONE at a time. So you could be listening to music played by your computer, that would be interrupted when your phone gets a call, for example. Not as cool as playing both at the same time, but still useful. Basic operation of the G8 is pretty simple: Hold down the little button for 3 seconds to turn it, listening for the voice prompt. You can pause or play music by clicking the button briefly. You can answer calls by clicking the button, or deny them by holding the button for 2 seconds. Plus, like starting it, you shut it down by holding down the button for 3 seconds. That's it. Just 1 button with different hold times, and everything is identified using voice prompts. MY ONLY NEGATIVES: Firstly: The sound quality isn't great on this thing. I would describe it as a bit "muddy", with a lot of different tones bleeding into each other. High notes are reasonably crisp, but voices and anything pushing into the bass ranges tend to lose distinction. Personally, I use the G8 to listen to podcasts, which don't require great sound quality. Everything is easy to hear and understand, but you aren't going to want to listen to complicated orchestral pieces on it. The G8 is designed for convenience and portability, and at $18, it is really cheap. It's not exactly a surprise that it can't match my over-the-ear, Sony Studio Monitor Headphones. What is crazy about modern technology isn't that the G8 isn't as far away from those Sony's as the price would indicate. It's no masterpiece for sound quality, but it is sufficient, and that's a long, long ways away from cheap headphones of twenty-years ago, or even ten, or possible even five-years ago. Secondly: The original shipment arrived with a Flexible USB charger, and a non-adjustable Car USB charger. The Car USB charger worked perfectly, the Flexible USB Charger didn't fit the G8. So I contacted the seller and the immediately shipped me a second Car USB charger, which also works perfectly. I don't know if this is the case for all of the Flexible USB Chargers, but I must commend the seller (in this case: Ken from GoNovate) for rapidly responding and correcting the issue by providing a second Car USB charger for free. Now I have two chargers, as advertised, and they both charge the earbud perfectly. CONCLUSION: It is cheap. Its battery lasts a long time. It is very easy to use and setup. It doesn't hurt your ear. Charging it is very easy. It is cheap. The sound quality is good enough to not be annoying. It can be used by multiple devices. Plus: It is really quite cheap.

I bought two of these! One in beige and one in black. It does not work as a bluetooth piece to take calls on, but it is great to listen to music, pdocasts, etc. It pairs easily and hasn't pretty solid sound quality. It sounds SO much better than the much more expensive, name brand bluetooth set I use to take calls on. I don't get random interference on this ear bud and the range is pretty decent. I was listening to an audio book, got engrossed in the story and walked outside to take out the trash and I was at least 60 feet from my phone before I began to even notice any break down in the signal and that my phone was still inside my house. The battery life is decent. I go a few days between charges. The only complaint is that when it is low, the automated voice incessantly repeats "battery low", maybe every 30 60 seconds until it dies. I'd rather just have one or two warnings and that just be allowed to enjoy the time I have left listening to my selection before the ear piece just dies. The charging situation is a bit strange. The piece clips magnetically to a USB device that it's included. If you don't have a USB/wall plug adapter, then you can only charge it by putting it into a USB port, which is not always around. I use a $5 charging cube I got from the drug store that plugs into the wall on one end and takes a USB on the other. I have NOT tried charging it by plugging it directly into the USB port in a car, so I don't know how well that works or if that will make the car try to sync with it or something.

This is one of those items that you have to approach with lower expectations. It's cheap, which is probably why you're looking at it, so it's not the best. I bought this for the purpose of being able to listen to music and audiobooks in ONE ear without have an extra earbud dangling around. For that it's great. I've also used this while riding my motorcycle. It gets sufficiently loud to listen to an audio book while riding on the highway. The good: Small - easily fits in my ear, under a motorcycle helmet and into a pocket if I need to stash it quickly. Simple - to turn it on and enter pairing mode you just press and hold the home button until it says ready to pair. Battery life - it has enough battery life to get me through the day typically. The downside to the battery life will be below. Charger - it's proprietary but they include two which is a big bonus for me. Volume - plenty of volume, I end up using this at the bottom of the volume levels most of the time. The bad: Phone calls - it's very hit and miss on this depending on background noise. DO NOT rely on this for important calls. Charger - the charger is proprietary, which is standard these days. but since they include two it's ok. Battery life - as I mentioned above the battery life is decent. The bad part is when the battery gets low it announces "Battery Low" every 20 seconds. that is extremely annoying. I think every minute or so would be better. Storage case - somewhat excessive on the thickness but once again, it's cheap. Volume - it's almost too loud at minimum volume if you want to listen to it in bed when it's quiet. The weird: I swear the voice sounds like a Russian woman trying to speak English. I jokingly call it Svetlana

this product fits well in the ear , is easy to charge when not using just attach it to the magnetic charger and it starts charging without getting disconnected. Easy to use for call when you are busy working.

Have had these for a few weeks and have been using them daily. Small (a blessing and a curse..have lost one already..) and discrete looking. Great sound (for small, bluetooth device). I listen to podcasts and audiobooks mostly and voice quality is spot on. Range isn't great but that's to be expected and not usually a problem as carrying phone round with me. Connection has been trouble free (Samsung S7 edge and S8 note), with reliable pairing and button responsiveness. Pop in ear, click to connect and click again to start book etc. Best thing is that I can have this popped in while I shower in the morning..very convenient. For reference I use a Sony SBH54 bluetooth device and Dunu Titan 1s for music. edit: now have 3. 1 for listening to books in bed, 1 for walking to work, and 1 back-up in case I forget to charge one of the others.

So now I have three - single earbud earphones that is. My quest and test for the best has revealed that this is it. So far anyway. Quick delivery, a dinky zip-up case for storage of bud and ancillary bits and bobs (important in avoiding rage induced when being unable to find the tiny thing down the back of the chair etc), and a couple of extra silicone buds to cater for the fact that not all ear-canals are the same size and shape. Decent set of instructions but it's easily sorted intuitively with a bit of fiddling about. The sound quality, given the size of the thing is pretty good, with good bass, as much volume as you need (controllable solely from connected device). A battery-charge of about an hour lasts about five and a half hours play-time. Voice warnings for 'power on', 'device connected', 'device disconnected', 'battery high', 'battery low' (five minutes to flat) and 'power off' are really useful. So to summarise: given that you get a selection of buds, a hard-case, a really neat magnetic USB charger/connector (+ one spare), this is for me the best yet. Last and by no means least, the thing weighs next to nothing (4gm) and has passed the 'shake your head' and 'sprint for the bus' test without falling out. A great bit of kit and comfortable enough for you not to realise you're even wearing it. Highly recommended. PS: The phone facility works OK - not brilliant, but given that it's in your ear and the mic is integral it's OK, and at least you're made aware that you've got an incoming text or call even when there's a lot of extraneous noise. Just push the button (there's only one) to answer and once again to terminate, but be aware that if you click it twice then it's going to re-dial your last call. Highly recommended.

Fällt nicht auf, hatte es immer beim Arbeiten drinnen und hält recht lang. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Dieses Bluetooth-Kopfhörer ist schon der dritte (3.), den ich über AMAZON bestellt habe. Grund dafür: die beiden vorigen sind mir nach ca. 3 Monaten Einsatz kaputt gegangen, soll heißen, sie haben nicht mehr reagiert. Warum ich dennoch 5 Sterne vergebe: Wenn er funktioniert, dann tut es das Teil richtig gut. Meine Anforderungen an solch einen Bluetooth-Kopfhörer sind bescheiden. Ich bin jeden Tag mit meinen Hunden für ca. 1,5 bis 2 Stunden Gassilaufen. Während dieser Zeit höre ich gerne Musik von meinem Handy per Bluetooth. Ich habe mich bewusst gegen einen Kopfhörer entschieden, bei dem beide Ohren mehr oder weniger von der akkustischen Außenwelt abgeschlossen sind, damit ich neben dem Musikhören auch noch etwas von meiner akkustischen Umwelt mitbekomme. Ich hatte mir vor diesem Teil schon einige andere Bluetooth-Kopfhörer bestellt. Deren Werbeversprechen, dass deren Produkte z.b. 4 Stunden betreibbar wären, hat sich in der Praxis als falsch dargestellt. nach 1:15 Stunden war der Akku leer und ich zum Teil ohne Musik unterwegs. Ärgerlich, sehr ärgerlich (für mich jedenfalls). Dieser GoNovate G8 hält ca. 5 Stunden aus (Musik hören wohlgemerkt, Telefonieren geht sicherlich ähnlich lange). Das reicht mir völlig. Wenn ich dann nach dem Gassigehen wieder zuhause bin, stöpsele ich das Teil einfach nur an die superpraktische USB Ladestation an. Superpraktisch deshalb, weil das Teil per Magnetismus angestöpselt wird (kein Kabel). Gut, dass das Teil bereits zweimal vorher schon frühzeitig kaputtgegangen, ist jetzt nicht so prickelig. Ist für mich aber auch kein Problem, solange AMAZON den Defekt anerkennt und anstandslos den Kaufpreis erstattet. Es wird dann einfach ein neuer bestellt in der Hoffnung, dass der dann länger hält. Wenn nicht: siehe vorher. Nachtrag: Was ich vergessen hatte zu erwähnen: das Teil kann aufgrund seiner symetrischen Bauform sowohl im linken als auch im rechten Ohr gleichermaßen gut getragen werden. Bei vielen anderen Konkurenzprodukten geht das nicht, weil deren Konstruktion nur erlaubt, das Gerät in einem, aber nicht im anderen Ohr zu tragen. Fazit: für mich immer wieder, solange es nichts besseres gibt.
