Flex 800, Bluetooth Retractable Neckband, Around The Neck Headphones

I have had this headset for some time now and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It is very well made and convenient. The sound quality is excellent and the battery lasts a heck of a long time. I really like the design of the multi-function knob, so nice to be able to so easily change the volume and access other functions. It was a little more costly than my last one from ExFit, but definitely worth it.

Great sound quality and battery life is fantastic. Sadly the housing for one of the earbuds plastic cracks then the tip of the earbud fell off. Luckily I bought a warranty but I was given a refund but I really wanted these headphones back. Right now they're out of stock and I hope they come back.

I’m kinda disappointed. If you are just listening to music they work fairly well. Sometimes I would get a clicking noise or it would pause the music for a fraction of a second like 5 times during a song.The battery life seems to be about 8 hours, I was expecting them to last longer. I have used these daily as I am a carpenter who needs to protect my ears from loud tools. They will last the whole day but not if I work overtime. During calls if the battery life goes to medium, a constant clicking noise begins to happen which is very annoying.Sometimes when someone would call, it would instantly hangup on their first ring and say “call ended.”I like the feature of them retracting into the head set, but sometimes when I bend over they will get tangled and then when I stand back up they will be pulled out from my ear.I don’t like that the volume bar is on the same side as the “play/pause/end call button” I’ve hung up on people a few times by accidentally pushing the wrong one.The on switch is a great feature! Compared to other models where you have to hold down a button.They sit very conveniently on the neck. And fit well into my ears.For the price these aren’t bad, they’re definitely not great.

They are actually a little smaller than the other brands and can push in your ear farther, which actually is fine but it makes the sound block out so you cant hear the sound (music in my case). So I end up having to take them out and re-insert them trying to go only half way so that they are in good, but not too good. The bluetooth works awesome pairing, and the sound is great. People tell me they hear a lot of the background sometimes when I talk with them but over all they are good. They are great on my end. Much better value than LG- LG 700's were the best and I don't know why they quit making them and changed to garbage that is way more money- so this brand filled the market gap left behind. They are affordable and mostly awesome.

I've tried so many of these neckband headsets. Most recently I used a Plantronics Voyager 6200, until the wires began to fray. I wanted to mention that so that you can understand why I might be a harsher judge than if I had only ever tried this particular headset. I expect too much from my headsets, especially from what I am willing to pay!I'm giving this one 4 stars. My callers can hear me clearly most of the time. Only occasionally are background noises near me so loud to my caller that it hurts their ears and they must hang up in self-defense. To be fair, that did happen once in a long while even with the expensive Plantronics unit. The weird thing is sometimes, it's not a loud noise near me that triggers pain my callers ear, it's a noise that *I* can barely hear, and I'm surprised the microphones can even pick it up! There may be other, louder noises near me, but my caller is overwhelmed by the sound of something that's happening in another room. Also, if I am in an enclosed area (like an attic, or small room, or if my head is inside a cabinet) then my caller is auditorily assaulted by the smallest, quietest of noises. Tapping my fingernail on a piece of wood sounds like a gun going off near their ear. I can imagine you wondering why I would test my headset with my head inside a cabinet. I'm a service technician and I'm often working in small spaces! Anyway... these kind of issues are pretty standard for these neckbands. The voyager 6200 has been the best quality of all I tried, but it lasted less than a year and those dangling earbuds were constantly getting torn off. This BCS 700 retracts out of my way when I'm not using. I know some of you may want to know how music sounds on it. I can't help with that. Music sounds more or less fine on all of em that I've tried, including this one. I listen to podcasts, watch youtube videos, and maybe some Netflix. It all sounds fine. I've got some hearing loss, but it's loud enough for me to hear. I don't even have it turned all the way up. I have an 18.5" neck and wish this device was a little bigger. I think use tiny models in all the pictures so it looks like it hangs down on the lower joint of the collarbone. But for me, most of these b.a.r.e.l.y. make it around my whole neck, including this one. But it does. make it. mostly. For this price, I can deal with the call quality being slightly less than ideal. I hope this helps someone make a decision!---------- Above was my original 4 star review for bcs 700. They came out with the pro model which is no good at all. Now they've come out with the exfit 800 flex. Also no good. returned mine after 1 day. for 4 hours it was good, then just went haywire, "gaming mode on" "gaming mode off", right speaker quit working for a bit. I thumped it and it came back on at half the volume of the left speaker. Just terrible

I am a general contractor I have purchased many different blue tooth head sets.ProsThey fit well around the neckFlexible bandRetract wellHearing is clear on callsConsMany people have reported they can not hear me well at all when talking on these. My voice is quiet.When listening to music they fade the pitch of the songs up and down every once and a while (weird)Battery life is goodAll in all not good for talking on the phone. Have to be in a very quiet place. Not good while driving.
