Bluetooth headphones? There are plenty of choices, but on the lower end of the spectrum with pricing most of them are rather uninspiring. If you add smart design and water resistance, long battery life and decent sound, the list gets surprisingly short. Fortunately tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ got his hands on a pair of SmartOmi WIT bluetooth sports headphones and checked them out. Are they good? Are they worth the cost? Watch and find out!

are these your next sports headphones
0:02
let's check them out Dave Taylor here
0:11
and this time I'm looking at sports
0:13
headphones if you go to the gym if you
0:16
run if you do any activity you know
0:18
little ear buds have a tendency to pop
0:20
out and the more you sweat the harder it
0:23
is to get them to stay in that's why I
0:25
like the over the ear design and these
0:27
are particularly interesting these are
0:29
the smart Tomi Witt and these are
0:32
Bluetooth sports headphones with some
0:35
pretty nice features for example the
0:37
over the ear part actually has metal
0:39
inside so it stays nice and stiff and
0:42
not only does it have good sound and
0:45
we'll come back to the sound but there's
0:46
also a metal here so the whole design of
0:50
it's really nice
0:51
they're certainly easy to put on you
0:53
just do that and boom it's in and as you
0:56
can see whoop hopefully as you can see
1:00
is that you put it in both ears and you
1:03
are good to rock and roll that's all
1:05
there is to it now the controls actually
1:08
are on the wire between them it's right
1:11
here so not only is that an excellent
1:14
place for the microphone so it actually
1:16
does a real nice job with phone calls
1:18
but it also gives you next and previous
1:21
and pause play and of course if you push
1:23
the button a little harder it actually
1:25
gives you the ability to Bluetooth pair
1:27
or turn it on and off so they're very
1:30
multifunction these buttons but I like
1:33
this design and I like having it here
1:35
rather than on my ear because it feels a
1:37
little bit more accessible now take
1:40
these off for a second and so these are
1:43
very nice they are ipx4
1:46
waterproof and sweat proof but they're
1:48
definitely not super waterproof I would
1:51
not wear these into a pool and if
1:54
someone's aggressively spraying you with
1:55
a hose because you're like running in
1:57
their field or something I don't know
1:59
what you do when you go running these
2:02
might not be thrilled with that but
2:03
certainly there are very much sweat
2:05
proof and if it starts raining while
2:07
you're on your run you can finish your
2:08
run and you'll still hear your music
2:10
it's a two hour charged
2:12
and that gives you seven hours of music
2:15
or eight hours of talking I've never
2:18
talked on the phone for eight hours so I
2:20
don't know maybe you do or of course
2:22
that could be across multiple calls they
2:24
run Bluetooth 4.1 so pretty up-to-date
2:27
and what's nice is that the package
2:29
comes with a little charging cable and
2:32
it comes with different sized ear tips
2:34
so you have the ability to try smaller
2:37
or medium the default or larger and as
2:41
I've said in so many other reviews the
2:43
size of your ear tips makes a huge
2:45
difference in your sound quality and so
2:48
I put on the right sized ear tips and
2:50
they sound really nice now I want to
2:52
qualify that because I want to say that
2:54
they sound really nice in a quiet
2:56
environment so when I was for example
3:00
wearing these while mowing the lawn I
3:01
wasn't really getting much out of them
3:03
and when I turned the volume up so I
3:05
could hear it over the lawnmower then
3:07
basically all I got was all the highs
3:10
the lows were effectively eaten up or or
3:13
come to couldn't compete effectively
3:14
with the noise of the lawnmower once I
3:17
turned everything off again then it
3:19
suddenly sounded nice again so I will
3:21
say in a quiet environment these are
3:23
nice at a gym most gyms have been - are
3:27
fairly quiet unless you're in your Zumba
3:29
class in which case it's super loud and
3:31
you should be listening to their music
3:32
so shouldn't be wearing these anyway but
3:35
they're not great sound they are indeed
3:38
earbuds with some really interesting
3:41
design and of course they you know hold
3:43
on to your ears really well but it's not
3:46
an enclosure don't expect a huge rich
3:49
sound and if I had to qualify the sound
3:53
I would say it definitely biases towards
3:55
treble and there is some bass and you
3:58
can pump up the EQ on your remote
4:00
Bluetooth device to give yourself more
4:02
bass but there's still sort of that low
4:05
mid-range that just doesn't seem to come
4:07
out of these little earbuds much at all
4:09
but then again this is not a massive
4:12
investment on your part either
4:14
so before we get to that I just want to
4:17
ask do me a favor click on the subscribe
4:19
button so we can stay in touch cool
4:22
thank you now last topic is the price
4:25
smart
4:26
me wit Bluetooth sports headphones I
4:28
like them for what they are they're very
4:30
nice I love the design I really like
4:33
over ear so props to them for that they
4:36
are $24.99 at amazon.com so pretty hard
4:40
to go wrong and if you read the reviews
4:41
on Amazon people like these so I would
4:45
say if you're looking for sports earbuds
4:46
looking for something for the gym or
4:48
just something where you don't want
4:49
earbuds that keep falling out but you
4:51
want something over your ear then these
4:53
could be a really good choice this is
4:55
Dave Taylor and I will catch you in the
4:58
next video
