I'm David karna for cnet.com and we're taking a look at the Under Armour sport wireless flex a neck band style Bluetooth Sports headphone that retails for a hundred and thirty dollars like previous Under Armour headphones this one is engineered by JBL truth be told I didn't love those earlier Under Armour's they didn't fit my ears great but this one is well designed and sounds good although it's not so different from JBL's other neck band style bluetooth headphones it has a few sports oriented features including this built in run safe led with three flashing modes a cool safety feature if you're running or walking around at night there's also a couple of Bend and stay flexed cells in the neck band that help you adjust the fit to your next size a little bit anyway and like with a lot of these new bluetooth headphones there's a speed charge feature that gets you one hour of play back with just five minutes of charging time battery life is rated at 12 hours at moderate volume levels which is pretty good the earbuds adhere to each other magnetically and there are controls integrated into the top of the neck band along with a microphone that allows you to make cell phone calls the headphones fit me securely and comfortably and I was able to get a tight seal from the largest set of ear tips that tight seal is crucial for maximizing sound quality the bass here may not have the visceral impact of a more expensive full-size headphone but it's got some kick to it and these had decent clarity for Bluetooth headphones the sound quality is definitely a step up from what you get from a budget model while these are sweat proof and being marketed as sports headphones they work well as everyday headphones to I'd like to see them cost less than $100 but the price is my only real gripe and hopefully we'll see some discounts down the road because they're worth checking out that's the Under Armour Sport Wireless flex thanks for watching
