House of Marley Buffalo Soldier BT OE Headphone, Black

This is my second House of Marley headset, and I bought it because I had an awesome experience with my now-gone Positive Vibration  headset.
 
GOOD THINGS
> Great packaging bag and complimentary pouch.
 > Elegant looking  and genderless style.
> Made of good-quality sustainable materials.
> Great craftsmanship, all the finishing touches and features feel expensive.
> Easy to pair and recharge.
 > Decent quality sound for the price.
> Great for indoor use or areas that have limited background noise.
> Commands are simple and easy to use.  I love the retro-style volume wheel.
> Very comfortable padded pods.
> If feels very light on my head.
> It has a specific power on/off button.
> Long battery life.
> Affordable.

NOT SO GOOD
-- Charging cable is too short.  
-- The headset cannot be fold, so isn't the best thing for traveling or to carry it around.
-- The head band is made of real leather but has no padding.
-- Instruction booklet is minuscule and the lettering is ditto.
-- It might be a bit too small for big people and too big for people with small heads, like me.
-- As the pods aren't concave but flat-ish, the pods don't hold on to my ears and the headset tends to slid down, forcing me to constantly adjust the headband. It might not be an issue for people with bigger heads and ears, but it is for me as the pods come off my ears often, so that affects the quality and volume of sound I get.
-- Not the best bass.   
-- Not good for outdoor activities. I use it for walking and, due to the fact that slides down and  to the fact that the sound quality is OK, the sound can be muffled by heavy traffic or noisy areas even when I have it at max volume.

OVERALL
Despite purchasing this after almost 5 years I bought my House of Marley's Positive Vibration headset, the Buffalo Soldier falls short for some of the things I loved my previous headset: The headband lack of padding, its lack of foldability, and poor noise insulation system. However, this is a great headset for indoor listening, made from sustainable materials and a decent sound system. It isn't the fanciest or best House of Marley's headset but it' s still good and good value for money.

Logitech HS-LOGI-H110 Stereo Headset with Mic, Black/Grey

The item took ages to be dispatched despite being in stock when I purchased it. Due to lock-down, it took forever to get it delivered. And when it was, the disappointment was enormous, as I wanted this item to do some freelance work and it is not usable for that.
 

The only photo available, conveniently, doesn't show the jacks, and this is a problem as they won't fit most computers unless they are old models where these 2 jacks were the standard. This being the case, you'll need to buy an adapter to fit it in. This being the case, the item ends being expensive for what it is - an average home-use headset. Also, the cable is a nuisance, as it is too long for a laptop. It might be good for a desktop computer, though.

You cannot control the volume via the headset cable but through the computer sound.

Quality of recorded sound is OK with regards to the recorded sound per se, but due to having to use an USB adapter there is background zoom noise that ruins a professional recording. Quality of sound when listening to a video-clip or watching a movie in my laptop is decent.

The headset is a bit tight on the head even for small heads like mine.

I am a fan of Logitech, but this model is prehistoric and not worth the money.

JBL Endurance Run Sweatproof Sports in-Ear Headphones

I've had a pair of these for a couple of months and I'm most happy with the purchase and the quality of the product.

I work out very often, so I find that the normal earbuds are too big for my ears, so I cannot use them while exercising; others are too small, so they slip out; and others, are bad quality so they break down after a couple of weeks. I bought this pair because I find JBL a reliable brand with good quality sound products, and a bass that I love.

These earbuds are ergonomically designed, so they fit in perfectly in my ears, as they have a sort of hooked curve that sits perfectly inside the earlobe and they don't slip out. I also love that they seem not to get wet when I'm sweaty working out at the gym.

One of the things I love the most about these headphones is that the the buds themselves are magnetic, so they tend to stick to each other automatically. This is one of the main reasons why, unlike normal earphones, they don't get easily entangled.

The speaker pod is very good. I've used it to do voice recordings over the phone (for instant messaging) and for some simple podcasting. Of course, the pod is not a a recording microphone, but it channels the voice in a very neat and powerful way, and the sound quality is really good.

The main letdown is the awesome packaging. These headphones are wonderfully packaged with a deluxe-feel packaging box. Yet, is it necessary to waste so much material to pack a simple pair of earphones? To me the answer is no.

I wish they did the same with bluetooth capability, because I'd buy them without hesitation.

House of Marley Positive Vibration 2 Wireless Headphones

I have had a pair of this for over two months. Herewith a wrap-up of my experience.

GOOD THINGS
> Good quality sound.
> Good bass.
> Cool design. Very classy and elegant, and they blend perfectly with brown hair.
> Buttons and connecting sockets are discreetly located and barely noticeable, so the set looks very polished.
> Good Bluetooth range, so I can move around my apartment without the quality of the sound changing of the connection braking up.
> It can be easily folded into itself and it is easy to carry. 

SO-SO
> The Battery life. Not too bad but not too good either. Be sure to switch off the set if you aren't going to use it because, otherwise, the battery drains fast. If you switch them off, it will last you for several days of casual listening.
> The phone cord is a bit short and a bit too thick to carry it outside home.
> The design of the switch on-off button could be better. I would have preferred an on-off button that works without having to hold it, just by pushing it once.
 

NOT SO GOOD THINGS
> The earphone pods are too small even for small adult ears, like mine.
> The earphone set is too tight and pressures the head too much. As one can adjust the length of the pods but not the tightness, this set can give you a headache if you want to use it for more than a couple of hours at the time. This is my case, and I have a small head.
> No indicator of battery percentage left. I mean, even if there was, the indicator is at the base of one of the pods, so if you are wearing them you won't be able to see them. It would be great to have a notification bubble appearing on my device showing battery levels. Just a suggestion!

Overall, a good pair of earphones, but there are too many things needing improvement to ignore.
