JayBird SB1B Sportsband Bluetooth Headphones (Black)

This is my first pair of stereo bluetooth headphones. I had read a lot about the drawbacks of these types of headphones, so I went in with that knowledge. I purchased the Jaybird SB1 Sportsband headphones without relying on a product review as I typically try to do, so I was a bit worried at what I might find...

I am happy with these. They seem to be well put together. They fit very well, and I have not had them fall off my head or flop around or slide out of my ear the way my other wired headphones tend to do. They also seem to live up to the promise of being sweat and waterproof. I sweat a lot (to the point of embarrassment sometimes), and these have so far held up very well. I have already destroyed 3 pairs of headphones due to my profuse sweating! The ear 'cushions' do tend to get soaked to the point of being able to wring them out, but it does not mess with the sound quality or the operation, or whether the headphones stay on your head.

There are some things I like about these headphones. I like the way they look. They're fairly lightweight & comfortable. The sound is pretty good. They continue to play the music from the 3G iPod Touch as I walk around the room. Thought I'd have to stay closer to the iPod. The volume controls on the headphones work fine. (I knew the tracks wouldn't change via the controls.)

I had a heck of a time getting the headphones paired with the iPod. The "user manual" that came with these headphones is a joke. It's a tiny leaflet with pictures - no verbiage.

Once paired with the iPod, I was happy for a while. I bought these mostly to use while doing housework & walking the dogs. This is where they fail! Every time I bend over even a little, the headphones slide off. Bend over to grab the Frisbee. Grab the headphones before they hit the ground! I was leaning over a bit to tape up a box & they slide off then too. I eventually made them...Read more

The only reason this didn't get 5 stars is because the user would like it to be a bit cheaper. After all, we're still in a recession people!

User paired with iPhone 3GS.

Good for all activities but a couple of limitations...
1. Cannot change tracks from headset buttons, must use Voice Control. (Apparently an issue particular to iPhone.)
2. Probably cannot be worn with a bike helmet.
3. Doing various activities in gym, like abs and stretching, must be adjusted periodically to prevent from falling off. Never actually fell off, but felt like it was going to on occasion. (I hanged upside down. Did not fall off.)
4. Does not come with wall charger; comes with USB charger. (Not mini-USB.)
5. Black is cool, but other fun colors would be nice.

Otherwise...
1. Great sound, particularly the bass.
2. Voice Control does work.
3. Phone calls in stereo; other party reported...Read more
