SOL REPUBLIC Shadow Wireless In-Ear Headphones, Waterproof, Rich Bass, Earphones with Built-in Mic & Music Controls - Black/Silver (Certified Refurbished)

UPDATE: Right earbud died after a little over a year of use. Obviously no RMA on this. I mean, $35 for a year of use on a refurb product is okay, but I still think that $90 base earbuds should be built to last, especially because I tried to take particularly good care of them.They seem to work pretty well. I haven't had the issue with it not fitting on my neck or falling off (I wear 15.5 collar dress shirts) like some other reviewers were reporting. The buds don't stay perfectly in my ears, but it's not significantly worse than with normal wired earbuds.My primary issue with this product is the sound; there is quiet but noticeable and distinctive white noise whenever the earbuds are outputting audio. I don't notice it significantly with phone calls, but for music it's obvious; during quiet sections of songs, it can be as loud as the music is, and if you pause, the white noise continues for several seconds before cutting out, I assume by design. I should note that this is a constant speaker buzz, not connectivity-based or variable static. It's distracting and annoying, and I'd hoped for better from this price range of earbuds.Is this issue intrinsic to all wireless earbuds? Some quick googling didn't provide a clear answer to the question, and I haven't seen it mentioned in other reviews. Perhaps mine was not properly refurbished.

Headphones are comfortable once you find the right ear fitment. The range is poor even in open areas and could definitely be better. Multi device is supported, but the directions are a bit confusing (watch youtube videos to learn how. Lightweight and comfortable to wear all day long. Battery last a long time, with intermittent listening I got about 3 day of use. Takes approx. 2 hours to reach full charge. There is an audible voice to remind you when the battery needs charging. Works with all of my favorite apps.

My refurbished headphones worked just fine right out of the box with my Nexus phone. Good fit, good sound. After owning them for a few months I tried to use them to listen to something on my laptop. I should say laptop(s), I tried them on six different computers, ALL of which refused to pair with the headphones. So caveat emptor, try running your refurbished headphones on a few different devices BEFORE your 90-day warranty runs out!

This is a review of the Sol Republic Shadow wireless ear buds, I have purchased 5 pair over the past few years, and I swear by them, I've had many different brands of high end wireless buds and these to me blow the competition away, however I would recommend tweaking your Android device for the best sound, download a volume booster and a decent EQ program, trust me it makes a huge difference.I've found that the refurb Sol Republic earbuds are a great value , but be careful, I did get a pair of Tiger Woods Edition refurbished earbuds that don't sound good at all, I would suspect the speaker elements were replaced with inferior ones, so check the sound when you get them in, the bass should be solid, with smooth mids and highs, when these buds are dialed in they will absolutely shake your skull, as for battery life, I wear mine 9 hours a day and they hold a charge the entire time, also they charge quickly.I love how they feel on me , they stay in place around my neck and rarely need adjusted. If you are looking tor some amazing Bluetooth earbuds , look no further, these will rock your world!.

I didn't notice these were factory refurbished when I purchased them. But, as I bought these to replace the pair I had broke, I can say these are great. Half the price and look and work just as my brand new ones did. You do not get the original packaging. However you get the extra buds, warranty, and manual. Get these, they sound great.

These ear buds are decent they don't stay around your neck when runnin, they fall off. Also the bass is good ish. My only problem is the battery life and connection issues it disconnect bluetooth from being in my front shirt pocket. So I'd stay away from these if you want neckband go with the OG company LG.

I've had these as my daily drivers for a couple of years and I love them. My only gripe is that most of the time I have to manually connect them to my phone because the Bluetooth doesn't connect like it should. They're really comfy and never fall out my ear

I'm still using these almost daily months later. They are so handy for work and I love that one button press pauses whatever I'm listening to. Never have any issues connecting to my phone. Awesome headphones for the price!!
