![[Upgraded] Anker SoundBuds Curve Wireless Headphones, 18H Battery, IPX7 Waterproof Bluetooth Headphones, Bluetooth 5.0, Built in Mic and Carry Pouch, SweatGuard Technology for Workout, Gym, Running](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/513Pj6d7V8L.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg)
These headphones sound alright for the price, and the battery life is great. However, I bought them as running headphones, which these are terrible for. They do not handle sweat well at all (despite claiming they offer two layers of sweat protection). They are loud enough to about 30% volume for a bit, but at about 10 minutes into my runs, they become muffled to the point you can hear basically nothing but the vocals on full blast. They also do not stay in my ears at all, despite there being about 10 different sizes for the buds. I heard good things about these headphones and really wanted to like them, but they are just not good for running.
Update: The pair I have won't even charge anymore. Only 2 months old.
Updated 2: After contacting Anker, they are sending me a new pair, no questions asked.
Update 3: The new pair is working much better. They are staying in my ears a lot better, and they don't seem to be getting blocked out from sweat this time. And best of all, they actually charge and work!
Update 4: The new pair now doesn't turn off properly. They make the sound like they are turned off and they disconnect from my phone, but the LED light remains on. They die within a few hours, so I have to leave them permanently plugged in when not in use. I really hate these things and wish I had never bought them at this point.
Updated 5: As of early June, the third pair no longer turns on. These headphones are garbage for runing, and I am guessing not actually sweat proof (like advertised).

Great earbuds at a great price! Order them you want be disappointed.
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2018
Over the years I have bought many different brands of inexpensive earbuds. I am not very rough with earbuds, but I do work outside a lot with them and go to the gym. There are three things that make or break it when it come to earbuds for me.1.) Sound quality2.) Comfort3.) Battery life1.) Sound Quality - I was decently impressed with these overall when it came to sound quality. I also have the Anker Slims+ and I think these have a better sound overall as compared to the slims. I also have found them to have better sound quality vs some other brands in this same price range.2.) Comfort - To me, these earbuds are simply the most comfortable earbuds I have ever tried. I the ear loops would make them harder to get on my ear properly and quickly, but they have been great. The ear loops are strong enough to hold them in place properly, but soft enough to make them comfortable and to place on your ear easily.3.) Battery Life - I have not measured my exact battery life yet, but they seem consistent with other earbuds I have purchased. In some cases I would even say they last longer. I wear them for the largest part of the day and have never ran into an issue of them going dead during the day or evening. I normally charge about every other day.The only one con I would have for these and it is nothing to do with the Soundbuds themselves it is the case. The case overall is great,but the only problem is the orientation of the mesh screen inside the case should be turned the opposite of the carry loop preventing items in the mesh carry slot from falling out. This is the only reason I deducted one star. It is so minimal I would not even worry about it, but it something to be conscious about it. Overall, these are great for the money and you will not be disappointed.If you found this review helpful please hit the helpful button. This will make it easier for other people to find and they may be helped as well. Thank you for taking the time to read my review of the Anker Soundbuds curve
