Outdoor Tech OT1100 DJ Slims - Wireless Bluetooth Headphones (Black)

Everything about this is what I wanted, but I'm having no luck pairing it with my Motorola Bluetooth device. The battery charged in about 2 hours through my USB port. Now that I received a PDF of the manual that I can read, I guess the problem is with the Bluetooth device, or my virtual COM3 port, which seems to accept only incoming messages. I'm looking very much forward to experiencing this product.

I would like to start off by saying I am comparing these DJ Slims to their own competition, the Outdoor technology Tags. I would assume that because the Slims are larger and have more room to put in a better driver that the sound quality would be better but this is not the case...To start off the item arrived promptly. I opened the package and loved the color of the Slims. I struggled to get the Slims out of the packaging but once I did I loved the look and feel of the Slims. I was excited to hear how they sounded and promptly paired them to the same device I listen to the OT Tech BT Tags on. I started streaming a song to the headphones and was a bit shocked. I thought , perhaps they need a charge? I charged them and spent a good half hour comparing them to the tags. Keep in mind, the tags are tiny. They go in the ear and not over them. I expected the mids and highs to be higher quality if not better quality than the tags and at least have the bass matched. Unfortunately while the DJ Slims mid's *slightly* out performed the tags the loss of bass and highs (they were tinny) was noticeable. I had my GF who also has a pair of Tags listen to them and she's not the audio snob that I am but even she said she would far prefer the Tags over the Slims.Comfort level.. I don't have much negative to say here. I have an average sized head (I even did an impromptu survey at work here in our cubicles to get a consensus and was told I have an average or smaller head). I put them on and they just *barely* fit comfortably fully extended. Again, these were very comfortable. The ear cushions were nice although I'm betting they'd wear out after any regular intense use or exercise. The materials felt nice and not too snug or loose.Pros: Pretty, Mostly comfortable, Loved the band materials.Cons: Similar priced product from the same company FAR outperformed a larger (seemingly should have performed better) product. Flat Highs, Tinny Mids, Weak Bass. Controls were a bit confusing at first and I can see how I would easily press the wrong button, no biggie after some experience though.Bottom Line: I have had 300.00 Sennheiser 580HD's, 20.00 Koss headphones (back in the mid 90s from radio shack that had awesome range for cheap but fell apart easily). I have tried the original up to current beats, multiple bluetooth headphones and by far the OT Tags (in my opinion) outperform most other phones. I would buy 5 pairs of tags before any beats. My 580 HD's still rock after 20 years and most recently the Logitech Corded headphones I saw (missed the model #) at a large electronics retailer are my favorites for sound quality. I would not be able to recommend these Slims for sound quality to anyone. I have repackaged them and returned them already (at my expense sadly).

I'm really happy with this purchase. For the price they sound great and have a really long battery life. I use them for about 5 hours at work, and then an hour of commuting. The battery seems to last atleast a few days, but I just tend to charge them and leave them at work once or twice a week instead of waiting for them to die.I swap the pairing between my laptop and my phone, and though it isn't super easy it hasn't been that difficult either.An unexpected bonus is that these headphones are really light, that wasn't a criteria I was narrowing them down by but has been a nice perk.The only negative about these is pretty nit picky. I spilled coffee on the foam and removed the foam to rinse it. There was a little bit of glue holding the foam in place so that it wouldn't rotate, and now without that the foam pads rotate a little. But really not that annoying.

I don't think the negative reviews on these headphones are a fair, honest evaluation on the product. I see people giving negative reviews of the product because the shipping wasn't as prompt as they had hoped, which has nothing to do with the product itself. I see others complaining about the difficulty level of opening the packaging.. really? Did you try scissors?You are paying $70 for durable, wireless, headphones. Are they studio-quality Sennheiser headphones? No. Is the sound quality going to absolutely blow you away? No. Will the volume settings allow you to make your ear drums bleed? Probably not. Does the product description and price point claim/suggest that they will do any of these things? No.So stop with the ridiculous criticisms.I use these for when I'm on the go. Working out/walking around town/doing anything that isn't me in my apartment at my desktop. For the price, they are fantastic. If you are looking for studio quality sound, maybe you should invest in studio quality headphones. I feel like I have gotten every penny's worth out of this purchase, and the battery life is great. I plug mine in overnight once every 3 days or so and I have never had the battery die on me.EDIT: I was a big fan of these headphones.. they served me well and we're reasonably priced, but they pooped the bed on me less than a year in. They lose their connection constantly, which is a shame. I was a big fan of this company and this product, until this.NO LONGEVITY

i can get 8 months max out of a pair of these.the right speaker goes out.i just ordered my 4th pair.other then that i love them.i am a mechanic and wear them 6-8 hours a day-5 days a week.i dont think they are intended to be used that hard,so that would be my guess why they dont last (for me)

Sound quality is good. Easy to use features and buttons. I don't like the foam speaker covers. The move around and I can tell that they won't last very long. Doesn't stay in one place either....what I mean is if you look up they will fall back and vice versa. Not bad for the price though. Other wireless headphones fit better and stay in place. I work construction and wires always get int the way, get yanked out and just drive me crazy. Overall I give it a 3 star

sound quality is obviously not as good as our Bose headphones, but great deal and decent audio for price., these reasonably priced wireless headphones are perfect for our teen. Bright, colorful, no wires....almost makes doing chores palatable

Good headphones for the price. I am a runner and I can not stand ear buds. These stay on my head and sound pretty good. Very simple and basic design. Like it.
