Yeah, been really happy with the replacements!!

yanki01 · Feb 17, 2013, 11:31 PM

my "free" pair works perfect and as advertised. I LOVE these headphones!!

cameronb8 · Feb 18, 2013, 03:34 PM

I got a pair for Xmas, which broke then got replaced. Now on my new pair the headphone module connected to the speaker (black part that sticks in your ear) is loose from the housing. I have comply tips and the twisting motion suggested for proper insertion appears to have broken the bond. They still work and sound perfect, but I'm worried they may be more susceptible to water damage now. They seem to only be able to twist, not go forward and back. Anyone else observe this besides me?

well, I started reading this excited from the top that maybe I found my new workout buds. I hate it when my dreams are dashed by the time I get to the end!

I think I will stick with my $30 yurbuds which seem to be holding up and deal with the crappy wires until these are perfected and come down a bit in price.

yanki01 · Feb 19, 2013, 01:00 PM

don't think the price will be going down any.

cameronb8 · Feb 22, 2013, 10:04 AM

Contacted support, they paid for shipping out there and sent the new ones out immediately. Should be here next week. The best customer service there is

just got these from Bestbuy, which just came in stock and they only for 1 set, too bad they fit horrible for me and im going back to purchase the bose sports...

idea of the headphones are great though, love the bluetooth idea, they just dont fit me

cameronb8 · Feb 27, 2013, 10:42 AM

Got my second replacements today, and they have the sought after ridge for the secure fit ear holders. Hope these will be the tits.

Got my replacements as well. Ran a marathon with them last weekend, no problems at all.

These look very tempting for when I start running hard again this summer! How do they hold up with sweat?

There were some problems for the first few people that bought them apparently but the version now has been treated with liquipel. Plus the fact that they have a lifetime warranty against sweat, you really can't go wrong. They sound incredible and the battery life is pretty amazing considering the size of them.

Awesome! Thanks.

Does anybody use there bluebuds with a computer and your phone? If so how is the switching process? I was looking for a bluetooth headphones that I could use with both but having to turn the bluetooth off and on to switch connections seems like a pain. I was hoping to either have them switch based on which device is outputing music. or be able to just hit a button on the headphones that would allow me to toggle through possible devices. How do these allow you to switch between the 8 devices that you can connect to. thanks.

So I splurged and bought 2 of these. One will be a birthday present for my wife.

I must say haven't gotten in may hours but quality sound great.
I'm very happy with them...

However my wife could not get her's to fit even with the smallest parts.

So ended up returning one pair which kind sucks because it was going to be a birthday gift.

So women with small ears should make sure they fit.

TyPod- just ran a marathon (lots of sweat) this past weekend with new Bluebuds X that I purchased last week. They worked great for all 26.2 miles, and today continue to work fine. If they ever succomb to sweat I'll update this post!

What I'm most worried about is the in-line volume/power control- this is where sweat damage usually gets the various bluetooth headphones I've tried in last years

Congrats on completing the marathon! I too am a marathon runner, so it's definitely good to hear they made it through the grind!
