Bluetooth Earpiece, M26 Bluetooth Headset Handsfree V5.0 Wireless Earpiece Headphone with Noise Reduction and Microphone Compatible for Android iPhone Cell Phone Laptop - Blue

Additional update: I just busted out my old Plantronics M155 and listened to it for a bit and I have to say that I actually like the sound of the Toorun much better now. The Plantronics has kind of an annoying sharp treble sound compared to the Toorun and I definitely prefer the Toorun at this point. I've bought 4 of these so far too so I know it wasn't that the headset sound is improving over time like I mentioned might have been the case below. The Toorun is definitely better sound quality than the Plantronics and I never use the equalizer either, no need at all. Great headset, nice build quality, excellent battery, very nice sound quality, couldn't live without it.Update: I have to say that it seems like the sound of this headset has improved since I first got it. Maybe it's just my perception but it doesn't seem like it. I have read how more expensive headphones have a burn in period where the quality improves with use but I've also read that this is a myth, possibly they just get used to the sound which is maybe what happened with me. But the quality sounds good to me now, not as good as the Plantronics headsets but still plenty good. I hardly use the equalizer anymore unless the audio stream is particularly off with its own sound quality which is almost never. I haven't used the equalizer in a long time, no desire to and I'm really happy with the headset.----------This review is in comparison to the Plantronics M165, M70 and M90 headsets. About 10 years ago I bought a used Plantronics M165 headset and realized it had the best fit out of any headset I've ever tried. The sound was excellent as well and the only difference between the M165 or M70 and M90 is the battery life as far as I could tell, the sound quality seemed the same. I bought this Toorun because it has the same earpiece style as those Plantronics headsets, and the Toorun rubber earpiece is 98% identical to the Plantronics earpiece. It fits the same, has the same firmness and feel, there are just a few tiny visual differences that you have to look close in order to see. They obviously copied it which is a good thing. With me at least this earpiece stays in your ear perfectly without the earhook, I have never used the earhook one single time with any of my Plantronics headsets or with this headset. It's very comfortable and a lot of times I forget it's even in my ear.The sound quality is not as good as the Plantronics. It is good and decent however and with phone calls the lack of quality is less noticeable since phone call audio is usually poor anyway. I mainly use these headsets for listening to podcasts and radio and sometimes music. This audio is higher quality so you can notice it lacking from the Plantronics, however if you use an equalizer app it makes up for most of the difference. Sound quality after using the equalizer is about 80% as good as the Plantronics. Without the equalizer it's about 50% as good as the Plantronics. The Toorun has good volume and bass but the trebel is weak and mids are off a bit, this can be corrected with the equalizer fairly well however. I recently broke my last Plantronics headset and I'm not going to pay $140 for another one which is what they sell for new at this point since they have been discontinued and are rare. And I absolutely have to have a headset with the same earpiece style so this Toorun headset is an excellent value and I would buy it again any day. Battery life is plenty good. Build quality is great as well for the price. The Bluetooth range on the Toorun is a little bit better than the Plantronics, and another thing I like about the Toorun is you can pause and play audio using a quick press of the power button. Battery life in the Too Run is also excellent and seems like it lasts longer than the Plantronics but maybe it's just my perception. It doesn't have a battery life indicator which is a negative but seems like it never dies.The equalizer app I would recommend is called "Bass Boost" on the Google Play store. Some of the other ones I tried didn't work or didn't work most of the time. The bass boost app works great and also stays in your pull-down menu permanently even when the app is closed so you can toggle it on and off easily and this is important because every time you pause your audio or switch audio sources like to a different podcast, the equalizer will be disabled. This is because of the way the Android operating system works, every time you start an audio stream, the programming requires an action to apply the equalizer which is why you have to toggle it off and on each time. I think there is one app called Poweramp that might apply a system wide equalizer effect which would not need to be toggled but it costs $7. It's not a real big pain to toggle but kind of.

First of all, let me mention, I was very unsure about this purchase as I live on a tiny island in the middle of the Indian ocean, which makes it expensive and difficult to send faulty products back home.In the case of this little headset, I was very pleasantly surprised. I LOVE it! Here's why:- Long lasting battery- Short charge time (I do recommended you follow the instructions and let it charge 1hr to 1h30mins before first use)- Voice information on battery status at turn on and connection/disconnection status.- Easily connected to my iPhone and android via bluetooth- has a wide range before disconnect (easier for me when I move around because of work)- great sound quality ( I hear very well and people I have spoken to have given the same feedback saying sound was clear and with very little background noise- Holds on to your ear tight. I have moved around a lot with it and it stays put. Like solidly put.What I didn't like:- If you have small or sensitive ears, the inner piece is quite large and may be uncomfortable. That being said, it is made of soft materials so it doesn't hurt. Just discomfort at the beginning. I got used to it after a few days.- The ear it is inserted in can't hear anything. It's not really a bad thing, since it makes it easier to hear the caller but it does make for a sometimes uncomfortable sensation so be warned.- It doesn't come with a little protective box for putting away so worried it might get damaged when not in use.Overall, I consider the product ideal for my budget and very good quality for price. The negatives aspects are minimal compared to the benefits and really just being fussy here. I have and would recommend it to anyone who needs a headset.

For the price this is a good product. The sound quality is pretty good at my end but only fair for the person I'm talking to. It will redial, which is important to me, but after you double click for a redial, it gives no indication that the redial is in progress, the other person's phone just starts ringing if the redial is successful. Other Bluetooth ear pieces I've owned will at least say "redial" so that you know it took your double click (you know that you hadn't clicked too fast or slow). For the price I can afford to have a couple spares around for when I lose one, which seems to be a regular thing, so in my opinion it's a useful purchase.
