Fantastic !! I’ve spent a lot of time researching and trying different wireless headphones and I think I’ve finally found the perfect ones. I’m a runner and love music or podcasts when I run. Some of the issues I was concerned about when looking for the right ones: I have sensitive ears to the touch, like when something presses on them for a while. Also, due to sweating, all the headphones I’ve used in the past would slowly fall out and it has always been a constant struggle to keep them in my ear. I don’t have to worry about that anymore. I don’t even feel them !! The sound quality is great and easy to control. There’s an app to allow for adjustments. Phone calls are easy to answer and end. I am BEYOND happy with Cleer ARC wireless headphones !! The cost is much more affordable than some of the other ones and I think the quality is great. I so happy I decided to give them a try and would definitely recommend Cleer ARC wireless headphones !

These bluetooth earphones took a bit of getting used to. They fit across the ears, rather than inside them. Although quite small across the ear, the sound seems to get channelled into the ear channel by the shapes in the ear, and quite well too. The main thing with these headphones is that you can still hear around you to a large extent.- The downside to this is that they absolutely do not block outside noise, be it noisy road, or dreary work colleagues and their dreadful pop music.- The upside is the music becomes blended into the ambience around you. Instead of adjusting to the recording of a sound-studio/room/hall etc playing in both sides of your head, with these headphones you get the impression that the music is actually around you and your environment. Quite an impressive effect; harp/guitar etc sounds close by to you, instead of you close by to the mic in the studio. The same with bands, ensembles, etc. I do a lot of sound restoration work, and a main focus is to keep the background ambience whilst reducing noise; such ambience is vital to make the recording breath, and this is something I notice in the sound projection/collection of these headphones. Great for going for walks in the countryside with a bit of music!The digital-to-analogue conversion is very good. Very clear, precise, yet not sounding at all processed. The bass is good, projecting loud and tidily; but will not resound throughout your bones, for these things are neither smothering your ears nor inside your ear channel. If that is a problem with you, do not buy these headphones.A few minor niggly points: they are a bit fiddly putting on, especially with glasses, and then again also with a cap on. Despite the hinges on the piece, the reaches behind the ear are a bit bulky and stiff: but I think there’s a bit of a knack to it.The USB cable fitted in the charger-case is really small, about 20cm. Extension cables, moving chargers around the house, bending over backwards behind furniture, all is an option.There is a voice with an American accent that booms ‘power on’ and ‘power off’, is quite annoying. Something to compromise with/block out.

Sounds quality definitely exceeded my expectations. By far the most comfortable ear piece headset I have ever used. I loved how I don’t have to stick it it inside my ear. It actually sit very well and comfortably on your ears.
