EC Technology Bluetooth 4.1 Headset Sports Headphone Review

The EC Technology Bluetooth 4.1 Headset Sports Headphone come in a plain brown box with an outline drawing of the headphones on them. In the box are the headphones, mini USB cord, and extra buds and instructions.

At this price range I was expecting a little more than I would a cheap pair at half the price, and after getting these out of the box, I wasn’t disappointed. These are made with a pretty solid rubberized plastic body and shouldn’t break with normal wear and tear and shouldn’t have a problem with sweat while you are working out. With that being said, I wish they would have come with a hard case or at least a soft case to carry these around with. I hate having to find a place to store the extra ear buds and USB cord in.

I was excited to try these out and they turned on and worked right out the box before charging them. Used them for about an hour or so and then it took about an hour and a half to charge them the first time. 

The charging cord (mini) is really short, so I used my own. There is a LED light on the side of the left earpiece that turns red during charging and blue when completed. This light also flashes blue/red when in pairing mode.

There are three buttons on the top of the left ear piece. The on/off (multi-function), volume up (next track) and the volume down (last track). The mini charging port is on the side of this ear piece as well.
This didn’t take long to pair with my phone but I did have to scan for it three times before it showed the first time on my phone to pair with it. Once paired, it connects automatically now when I turn them on.

The ear pieces are surprisingly nice and fit in my ear really well and are comfortable to wear for hours while I am at work. There are extra ear pieces if you need to find the right size for you. The wings that are built into these go around your ears to help hold them on. These are bendable and can be form fitted to your ears compared to most that are hard and can’t be moved. Nice feature.

I had a little problem with the Bluetooth dropping or getting choppy when wearing these when I got ten to fifteen feet away from my phone but other than that the sound, even at full volume, sounds great. The volume is loud enough I did have to turn it down a little not to hurt my ears.

I have an equalizer app on my phone and with a little tweaking, the bass and overall sound is superb. I have these for listening to music, but the wife did call me one time while I had these in and I had no problem hearing her or her hearing me. These are not noise cancelling, so they do allow some noise leakage at lower volumes.

These are a really nice somewhat cheap sports earphones and would be great for anyone looking for a Bluetooth headset. These are almost as good as my other pair that were a $100 more a few years ago. Pricing and technology has gotten so much better now.
