UPDATE-2:
Ok, I realized I was wrong about a few things and these have really grown on me since. I was able to compare them to a high-end set of JBLs which gave me some needed perspective. I added a star:
1. The sound quality is much better than I had originally believed (better than the JBLs), I think I was just used to bass-ier wired headphones. With proper tuning these are more than adequate for gym / running. I still prefer the sound of my wired-headphones.
2. While I'm still super-annoyed with the double-tap to skip function this seems to be commonplace among BT headphones (why the most common function is not the most simple operation is beyond me) so I feel that I really can't hold this against Phaiser.
3. I fixed the "sound output channel issue" with the smaller tips, they're still a bit uncomfortable but I would say the weight is a much bigger issue than the diameter of the earpiece.
4. The remaining issue for me is the weight. These are much larger and heavier than the JBLs I tried and it's amazing what a difference the weight makes. I'm considering buying a higher-end pair just to reduce the weight / bulk in the ear. If Phaiser makes a similar model with no magnets, a shorter chord, and a smaller battery for runners I would pick it up real quick.
My sincere apologies to Phaiser for my earlier review, I hope I caught this in time not to dissuade a customer. I would recommend you give these a try, just know that you're trading a bit of comfort for a 7-8 hour playtime (which is a good positive!).
UPDATE:
After using these daily for a few months I have a few more notes:
1. The microphone buttons DRIVE ME NUTS (I mentioned below). I've found that double-tapping too quickly results in a single volume increase while too slowly results in two volume increases as opposed to the desired skip. Meaning it takes timing to skip your song, not too fast, not to slow. I feel like %^&$*# goldilocks trying to skip a song.
2. After trying better-quality Bluetooth headphones these are really bulky and heavy, I would gladly trade the magnets and a few hours of battery life for a lighter device.
3. The "sound output channel" (the cylindrical piece of the headphone that is closest to your eardrum while being worn) is slightly too large, either that or the tips are too big for me, my ear-canals feel slightly stretched out while wearing these (very minor discomfort).
You get what you pay for, these are $10 headphones with $20 of Bluetooth tech attached to them. Having said that, I'm fine with the quality at the price point and think that the price is fair for what you get.
This is my first pair of wireless headphones and I really think the technology is great, if you're on the fence about wireless headphones I would most certainly recommend you give them a try, I wanted a cheap pair to try out the technology and I don't think I'll be going back to wired headphones.
PROS:
1. Bluetooth connects very quickly and reaches across my (small) gym, even through the dividing wall when my phone is ~10 yards away!
2. People can hear me clearly on phone calls even with the chord over the back of my neck and the microphone next to my neck
3. Battery life is all day, if you plug them in every night you'd be challenged to drain them.
4. They came with a lot of accessories / tips that are nice for getting your fit right.
5. They will not budge on a run! Far less chord noise than traditional headphones.
CONS:
1. Bass support is lacking in my opinion, sound quality is not bad but think $10-$15 headphones.
2. The controls on the microphone drive me nuts. you double-tap up/down to skip/restart a song while a single press will incrementally increase / decrease the volume. Skipping is a far more common operation in my mind and should be the single press, while volume adjustment should be a hold / double press. I constantly turn my volume up when attempting to skip a song, and the double-tap can be difficult to execute while running (not sure if this is standard to 3-button microphones).
4. The batteries on the buds are bulky, I tried these under a ski helmet and the fit was not comfortable because the tips extended well beyond my ears and were pressed into my head by the helmet (wired buds were fine). If you want to use these under any kind of ear / head protection forget about it. I would much rather have half the battery life and half the profile than the current configuration (I would think a bicycle helmet would be fine).
5. There is no auto-off function that I've found, these will stay on until the battery dies whether or not there is signal being transmitted to them.
(If the headphones are not connected to BT they will power off after a considerable time (I don't know how long))
6. The microphone is on the right side and I feel it would be much better on the left so that I could reach across for control, this is specially true while running, mostly a preference thing.

Product Description
Look No Further - These Bluetooth Headphones Have It All!
From PHAISER, the Choice of 400 Thousand+ Music Lovers
Hey there!
Imagine a wireless headset that sounds even better than wired… One that wouldn’t slip out during workouts (or while sweating under the hot summer sun)... Or hurt after hours of listening to your favorite tracks (with the volume at 11)…Imagine a wireless headset that knew you so well, it would give you the perfect, comfortable fit every time you put it on… And hit you with the just right amount of bass to power your next run or workout...
Those Buds Have Finally Arrived! Now You Can Live Loud With The Phaiser Strobe BHS-750
Our team of Swiss sound engineers teamed up with music lovers and athletes to create the perfect headset for those who love intense soundtracks to go along with their intense workouts. These buds feature 8mm speakers that deliver HD audio fine tuned for a listening experience so crisp and clear you’ll swear you’re listening live. And you’ll be able to play it loud, as your earbuds have been specially designed to pump out more bass and more volume without distortion.
Surprisingly Comfortable
Our test groups were blown away by the sound quality our engineers were able to produce, but what they didn’t expect was that earbuds with such high quality audio would be so comfortable to wear. The only people that weren’t surprised were our audio engineers, who determined that the patented Comply T-400 memory-foam eartips were the perfect compliment to their design, and insisted that we include them in the final product. They even threatened to hack the coffee machine if we didn’t listen. Based on the awesome feedback we’ve gotten from customers - we’re glad we did!
Connection Perfection
It’s probably happened to you...you leave your player on the other side of the room or worse - put it in your pocket - and your music crackles and disappears. Our audio engineers affectionately refer to these sets “impotent earbuds”, and were determined that ours wouldn’t meet such an embarrassing fate. After 13 rounds of testing, we can finally say we’ve perfected the Bluetooth connection. Depending on your surroundings, you can expect 30-40 feet of uninterrupted, flawless sound.
Hands Free Calling
We know you’re busy - so forget about interrupting your routine to answer a call. The BHS-750 lets you switch between music and calls with the push of a button, and our specially designed mic reduces background noise to make conversing easy even in noisy gyms or out on the street.
Lifetime Sweatproof
Any athlete (or anyone who’s worn their buds on a hot summer’s day) knows that a single, well-placed drop of sweat can ruin an otherwise good headset. We’ve got you covered there too. Each Phaiser headset comes with a water resistant hydrophobic nano coating.

So as the title says, I've been using the Phaiser BT earbuds now for two months and in that time I've gotten a clear idea of what I consider the pros and cons.First off, Battery Life: Now the battery life can vary depending on how loud you choose to listen, but I'm a loud listener, so I averaged 4.5 - 5 hours of active listening. I used them at work and then at gym, a long period of the day. Some days I did have to charge them in the car to ensure usage, but I will admit they had died on me a couple times. This can be a make or break for many. Also, this is more of a small nitpick for me, but when charging the earbuds seemed to give off a slight ringing noise. Charging/Battery life they get a 3/5 from me.Secondly, Comfort and Fit: This is where they fell extremely short for me. Now while they do provide a decent set of wing/tip accessories, it felt like someone with smaller ear holes was like me was forgotten. The wings were either too small for me or the ear tips were too big. They do provide one set of moldable tips, which were great at first, but don't last forever after a couple months of hard general use and of course the gym. It is also important to note, the wire does tend to favor the controller side as I expected, which can get annoying. I'd rate Comfort/Fit at a 2/5, which obviously could rate higher for those with ears that fit these tips and wings better.Next is Sound: Now for the price the sound was good, it wasn't static-ridden and fit my expectation (but did not exceed). I listen to podcasts, watch movies, jam to several genres of music, and had phone cons, which all seemed fine. However, the one thing I took issue with was the noise of the cord rubbing and food chewing that would echo heavily. Cardio at the gym was the biggest identifier of this. So, Sound gets a 4/5.Now we come to Price. This is an easy one, nothing is ever cheap enough for me. So, kidding aside, I bought these at $40, $48 if you count shipping. I'd say that an ok price, but if I was personally selling it I'd put them in the $25 - $30 range. Just my personal stance. I'll be fair though, 4/5 for price.Now a more minor item, weight, which could also fall in with the Fit. The weight was on the heavy side in my opinion, which could of led to the issue in fit over time as the moldable tips became less moldable. It all adds up. I won't be rating this one alone, I'll consider this part of the Comfort/Fit rating.Last is durability. They are still rocking out after two months of fairly regular use and a couple drops on a standard wood floor at work and at home. The only noticeable issue was rubbing of the color on the ends, which began even before they couple drops. I'd give durability (so far) a 4/5.Accessories! I mentioned above that they come with quite a few, so for someone with different ears then myself I'd say the selection is a 4/5 or a 5/5, for me it's a 3/5. That could change with the addition of at least one more type of moldable tip, maybe a more slender curved fit with a better material for molding that remains well moldable for longer, and a softer wing, then I'd say 4/5 or better. This also takes into account the charging cord which worked fine and plugged in nicely, and the little carrying case (which isn't a perfect fit for the earbuds cord, but it's fine for the accessories).So, overall my rating is a 3 on Amazon (inching towards a 3.5). Some of the above clearly could change based on user ear size and tech is not all made the same so you can't always expect the same results. Take my review here with whatever weight you choose, but keep in mind I was a normal consumer looking for a good pair of BT earbuds and purchased these in pursuit of just that.Note: I just recently purchased a more expensive set of earbuds (jaybird x3) to get a real sense of just how this Phaiser set matches up. They should arrive in the next couple days, so we'll see how they do. Price doesn't always mean better, but you never really know until you try. Apologies if I missed something that should have been rated, I merely hit the items I saw needed mentioning.Happy tech hunting, everyone!
