Stiive Bluetooth Headphones, 5.3 Wireless Sports Earbuds IPX7 Waterproof with Mic, Stereo Sweatproof in-Ear Earphones, Noise Cancelling Headsets for Gym Running Workout, 16 Hours Playtime - GreenBlack

This is the third headset of this design that I've had. A lot of different vendors have sold them over time. The first one I used for about two years until I broke the wire between the ear buds. Couldn't fix it. The second one, which I still have, works but the battery has degraded to the point that it only works for 3 hours per charge after 2 years.This third one is the best of the three and only for one reason. The charging port is now USB-C. The rubber plug fits much better and tighter and now everything I want to charge uses that connector. The battery life is exceptional. That 16 hour claim is real. I've been using them for 13 hours and the battery is still 70%. I listen to WCPT 820 AM all day, every day. The sound quality is OK and the over ear design keeps them in place well. Microphone works well enough to make phone calls.As for the second one with the degraded battery (only 3.4v with a full charge). That one I can fix. The battery is in the left earbud. The back comes off easily. I just slid an X-acto in there and it popped off. The battery is easy to replace if you can solder. The battery type is a 501225 3.7V 100mah Lithium polymer. The standard capacity is 100mah but you can find that type of battery with 150mah capacity for $8. CAUTION: soldering lithium batteries can be dangerous. Lithium ignites when exposed to air. Fortunately this battery is designed for soldering and you don't need much heat. There's a rubber cap over the contact end and there is kapton tape overall. I was able to remove the cap and tape for re-use.Whether that increases the on time before charge to 24 hours will be proved in a couple days.EDIT: I was wrong about the 150maH. The listing had the wrong part number on it, I had to return. But there are 110maH 510225 batteries. I put one in the old headset and got 12 hours. I suspect the down rev version is not as efficient.

I was pleasantly surprised that the sound quality was excellent, they stayed on my ears during my workouts and they stayed charged up for over 2hrs. The ear legs are longer than most of the high priced wireless headphones which helps keep them secure. Truly comfortable, great connectivity, great value for the money!

Before I start with the positives, I want to give you all a warning about these "waterproof" earbuds that you might want to know about.My main caveat with these earbuds is that they're not entirely waterproof, even to slight water damage such as rain. The design features a small foam cube on the inside of the right earbud. This cube is meant to provide a cushion for the volume buttons, but is very susceptible to retain moisture. Should you take this in the rain for instance, this cube could get wet and damage the wiring inside the hardware. These designs try to prevent this from happening by adding a wax coating between the foam cube and the circuit board, but it is still not enough. I have had many earbuds of this design and they always have wiring problems, such as one earbud completely losing signal and damaging the sound quality. I have had to return these earbuds for a replacement because I accidentally left them on a shelf in my shower. Bear this in mind when you purchase these earbuds.Outside of that, these are outstanding earbuds for the price due to two things: the USB-C port and the insane battery life. The sound quality is decent, but it is nothing compared to the battery life. I work long hours and have had these earbuds on my head for over 24 hours and I have had no low battery signal. I have even left these earbuds on overnight by accident and still have enough juice to get me through a workday. It is by far the most battery I have gotten from earbuds of this price.It's even better that these headphones have a USB-C port. If you are not familiar, a lot of old devices have used various ports, such as Micro USB. These designs were inconvenient, and could not be plugged in except for a specific angle. USB-C does away with that and allows you to plug into your headphones at any angle. I'm glad this is slowly becoming the standard, as even stingy Apple have adopted this with their devices.For the price, it's a must own. My only other negative thing would be that the headphones do not power off on their own like previous models do. Sometimes I forget that it's even on and, like I said, I have had moments that it had stayed on overnight. As long as you're a little mindful, it's not a big deal. These headphones are great to have! I would highly recommend them.

For the price, great sound quality. Easy to set up, good battery life, quick charge time. If (let's be honest, when) I lose these I'd buy them again for sure.

First set I had of these lasted over 4 years (Oct 2019 - Jan 2024) and only broke when the cord frayed near the charging base. Sound was reliable to the end.Second set lasted 1.5 years (Feb 2024 - July 2025) and had some annoying auto-pair issues. Last week the sound started to disconnect from the left side, then the device kept powering itself off after start-up for no apparent reason.Third set that I purchased this week is the worst yet. The volume +/- on the earpiece is laggy. Unresponsive to fast clicks. Dealbreaker. Won't be purchasing these again. I miss my first set.
