using a wireless headphone for working out has become all the rage and this is the blue ant pump $130 Bluetooth sports model it comes in a few different colors including this green one that has a transparent housing hi I'm David Carr noise and let me tell you first what I like about the pump for starters it seems durable and is totally waterproof so long as you have the gasket in place covering the microUSB charging port while Bluetooth doesn't transmit underwater you could wear these in the pool if you keep your head above water they also have up to a hundred foot range which is more than the typical 30 feet that Bluetooth offers and battery life has tasted enough at around eight hours the headphones housing is a nice soft to the touch field to its finish and the controls are well placed in the right earpiece and can be operated blindly the play/pause button doubles as an answer end button and the volume controls SS transport controls allowing you to skip tracks forward and back by double tapping them a microphone is built into the unit which allows you to use this as a stereo headset for making calls the pump is an in-ear headphone and the tips are designed to be really jammed into your ears to get a tight seal you do get various ear tips including a foam set that allows more sound to penetrate so you can hear traffic around you when you're running or biking and blue it also provides these little snap-on stabilizers which help keep the buds securely in your ears overall I thought the headphones fit well and didn't move around all when I use them on a treadmill in the gym however I did need to use the stabilizers to get a tight seal and at times the top of the stabilizers dug into my ears a little I thought it would have been nice had blue ant gone with a slightly less rigid rubber if you do get a tight seal there's plenty of base but the headphone just doesn't sound all that clear or refined I prefer the more natural sound the Plantronics backbeat fit but that model does have an open design and lets in more ambient noise for safety reasons all in all while the pump has a few shortcomings it's an appealing wireless sports headphone that should work well for a lot of people ideally it would cost a little less than its list price of $130 but hopefully will come down in price over time I'm David Connelly and that's the blue ant pump thanks for watching
