Thanks. The newegg deal expired plus I was able to use prime on these. Repped

Will a 2.0 adapter work with these or should I get a 2.1, 3.0, or 4.0 adapter?

rrc06 02-06-2013 07:38 PM

Got these today. About to set it up but YES it does use an old-school mini (not micro) USB cable :-/

Working great otherwise. Paired effortlessly with my Galaxy Note 2

These work fine. Got them during black Friday. Hurts my ears after extended use though. Just fyi

Mini > micro.. It's more secure.

Just posting my thoughts, got these during the BF deals, they do hurt your ears if you keep them on for more than a couple hours, but I think these are fantastic for the price. Sound quality for bluetooth headphones is really good, bass is just fine. The battery life is amazing.

I really hate the bright blue light on the side, but I taped over it and its alot better, I may take them apart in the future and pull out the LED. Other than that and the extended wear pain these are great.

As long as your fine with the caveats these are a terrific value for the price and I'd recommend them to a friend.

I guess, but it's nice to have one cable for everything

ordered one yesterday. But not sure of the weight this adds when running for long hours. Need to experiment. Most Amazon reviewers say they forget that it is on their ears. Lets see

I've been using it for a few days. Def don't notice it there, but it does look goofy when you see yourself in the mirror :)

Just a word of advice...If you are going to buy these, follow the link above. If you just do a simple search on amazon, a different model comes up--where the discount doesn't apply. When I followed the link above, I was surprised that this thing only had 9 reviews at the time. There is another model with almost 2000 reviews. The deal is only for the "BLACK" model. The only difference I can see is that the black model is well, black on the side, and the one with 2K reviews is silver on the side. See for yourself, BTH220 vs. BTH220-BLACK.

I have owned these since Oct 2011. I love them. They started frying out after about a year of use (used 100% in the gym weight lifting and cardio, so they'd get abused with sweat). I emailed Kinovio and told them the problem. They sent me a new pair within a week, no questions asked. In terms of comfort, I typically don't noticed them and for bluetooth, I think they sound pretty good.

I highly recommend them.

Rep you for the info

I use these for the gym so good to know kinivo stands behind them

amazon code expired? So sad. I was to late! i was late LAST TIME this headset deal came around.

new deal alert notification setup DONE!

dealmonkey 02-14-2013 09:33 AM

I really wanted to like these. The sound is muddy and there's no bass. I even bought the latest BT adapter that Kinivo makes. I was hoping to cut the cord, but I'm not going to sacrifice the audio quality.

I use it for NPR a lot so I guess that's why I haven't noticed/cared.

Saw the good reviews on these and ordered a few months back. Tried it for a few hours at home and at the gym and have not use it since. The fit was not right, the sound is decent at best...I only spent $20, but I would not recommend it even at $20.

sick97ss 02-14-2013 11:06 AM

newegg deal is back! wooohooo!

You won't find a pair of BT headphones cheaper. I tried looking. Def not bad for the price IMO. Syncs easily to my android smartphone. Sound is decent, but what you do expect for $20 WIRELESS headphones?

I got my wireless Nokia headphones for 1 penny a while ago from T-Mobile, I know it was a once in a life time deal, but I got 5, it should last me a life time. But just comparing the two, the Nokia fits much nicer and I think the sound is much better. The build quality is much better too. I rather spend $50 now and get the Nokia than this. My gripe is not the price, but the reviews, that led me to order this thinking it was the best bang for the buck headphone.
