Foldable Bluetooth Headset, Beartwo Lightweight Retractable Bluetooth Headphones for Sports&Exercise, Noise Cancelling Stereo Neckband Wireless Headset (with carry case)

My second set, it lasts forever, good depth of hearing. I have other kinds but this set is my go too for driving without using the car or phone. It’s easy to use, seems to last forever. My first set broke after trying to use it with a neck brace after surgery. Other buds batteries do not last as long as these do! Great quality, excellent price, comfortable enough to fall asleep with (usually happens during meditation videos)! Wish they were touch operated but the button is fine. Will always buy again when these wear out and it’s been over a year of constant use with these.

This headset is super convenient. The retractable earbuds are awesome—no tangles! It folds up easily, fits in my bag, and the sound quality is great for music and calls. Battery lasts all day, and it’s really comfortable to wear. Definitely recommend for anyone on the go!

I got these as replacements for my beloved LG headset that was quite literally falling apart, and as that had been my most recent experience with a headset, I'll use them as an example comparison. In principle they're the same, but there are some key differences that make the Beartwo headset not my favorite ever. Internally, they're pretty much the same, the sound is decent (there are supposedly different equalizer modes, but I couldn't tell much of a difference between them), the connection is pretty fast, pairing is easy. These actually excelled when it came to range and battery - I was shocked that they lasted me for at least two days with pretty significant use before needing to be charged again. When I first used them for a phone call, I thought it was a good thing that the microphone was extremely sensitive, because I thought that meant my voice would be projected clearly, but it kind of turned out to be a hindrance, because I couldn't do anything while using them to make a call. A group of people could walk by 20 feet away from me, having a conversation at normal volume, and the person I was talking to on the phone would stop what they were saying because they thought somebody was talking to me. The main differences that make an impact on my daily use of these, however, were in their physical characteristics. For one thing, they're a lot physically louder than I had expected. My LGs had a slight buzz when connecting to my phone, and pulling the earbud out was a soft "tick-tick" as the cord unwound. The Beartwos make a substantially loud buzz when connecting (and if they're against metal, like a necklace, they rattle loudly), and pulling the earbud out makes a loud ticking sound (such as that could be heard from across the room). This might not be an issue for most folks, but personally I usually keep these around my neck and use them in quiet settings such as in studio classes, libraries, and at work, where there are others working nearby, and I generally try to make as little noise as possible - so for these, I end up feeling the need to step out to the bathroom to turn them on and pull the earbuds down. Ultimately not a big deal, but an inconvenience nonetheless. The structure of the headset itself is also pretty hard; my LG had been pliable enough that it draped around my neck and mostly conformed to the surface of my collar, and as such were more likely to stay in place if jostled. These have a hard plastic molded case on them which sometimes sticks out from my neck, and the main times that this gets in the way is (more occasionally) if I'm pressed up against something, such as a seat back, a bed, or giving someone a hug, it presses into both my collarbone and the other object or person, and also (more often), while working out, if I bend backwards at all or lie down on a bench, they slide right off the back of my neck. It's gotten to the point that I just don't wear them to work out because I know they'll be an inconvenience if I'm doing anything that isn't stationary and vertical - which sucks, because about 50% of my previous headset's use was for working out. The folding feature of the headset is nice, especially because the reason I switched from my LGs were that they were coming apart at exactly the place where there is a hinge on the Beartwos, but I'm disappointed that they don't fit the needs I was looking for. They may be a perfectly good choice for somebody else, but personally I'm investigating getting a pair of true wireless earbuds to fill the role I was hoping that this headset would.

This blue tooth headset is very good. This was my first experience using one, and it has been so simple to use. It paired with my phone very easily. My husband says my voice was clearer using it than when I use just my phone. It was also very reasonably priced. That was important because we are going to be getting a new car with built in blue tooth, so I didn't want to spend a lot.

I was looking for a comparable replacement to my LG810 series headsets which I had used for a few years but finally gave way. What I liked about that headset is that it was around neck design, two earbud stereo, and retractable ear buds (previous dangling type are extremely annoying). The LG series had JBL and so I was concerned that the sound of much less expensive headsets would be too much a compromise. The BearTwo headsets are very similar in concept with the black plastic, wrap around the neck, retractable ear buds. The buttons are even in similar positions as the LG series. Fortunately the sound quality was good enough compared to the much more expensive LG JBL with their bassy-leaning EQ which is good for me and appreciated for online news clips or music (if you like mid range or treble range EQ like a LAN line or you have hearing loss in the bass range then there are probably better options). LG sounds a bit better to me on direct comparison because it has the bassy EQ but it also has more midrange tones making volume adjustments less necessary to hear the caller. The build quality of the BearTwo appears to be excellent. This headset is foldable and comes with a nice carry case (LG did not). The retractable ear buds can be retracted safely and quickly with front facing button on each wing (LG had a yank and retract type which worked well but ultimately caused me to yank too hard and end its life after two years; unclear if that will be the fate here). BlueTooth works well so far. Haven't tested it for distance (an area LG excelled at) but it is rated at 33 ft. Some things that are not as good and are important considerations, is that the BearTwo headset is bulkier, heavier, and somewhat less comfortable resting on the clavicle due to its more protruding profile than the LG (in fact it is twice the width of the LG and three times the width around the neck!!). Please see attached photos. This is not a deal breaker with normal use but I exercise in the gym and even play tennis with my headset on. Sometimes I lie in bed and use it to listen to programs on YouTube when I don't want to disturb my partner. The BearTwo headset slides right off your neck if you are lying down! There is no hope of it staying on with its inherent size and weight. It can also easily lose position around your neck if you lean in a certain direction. The LG design is superior in that regard where it has a flatter and lighter profile that rests more comfortable on your clavicle and around your neck. It never fell off and you forget you are wearing it. So that is perhaps my main gripe about the BearTwo that will affect performance. Most likely they couldn't copy the LG design due to design patents but I am sure they would have flattened the profile if they could have. There is no reason to make it so bulky. Otherwise at a much lower price of the LG and other wrap around type headsets and with no sound or bluetooth performance problems, it is hard to not be pleased with the purchase overall. We'll see if the one caveat leads me to buy another in the future or go with a different design. For now I will keep the LG as well for athletics, working out in the gym, for environments where bassy EQ is challenging, and when lying in bed [FYI: while the headset gets better ratings than LG does, readers should know that this is probably due to the influence the company is having with incentivizing buyers with $25 amazon gift cards to rate them online shortly after purchase; you have to send them your submitted review before they send you the gift card; it is unclear if they ever send the $25 card or if they punish negative reviews; it does not mean they are bad headsets or its a scam however and for the price they are good headsets but most likely they would get a 3.7 rating overall if the company wasn't manipulating].
