I was prowling the isles in rite aid (yes the pharmacy place) while my mom was getting her meds (she is nuts :) and while browsing the junk isle I found some cheap bluetooth headphones.

$30. figured ok for $30 they probably suck and they don't "look" amazing by any stretch. hey 25% off.. so $22.50 and I buy them. at the register I get a $6 coupon so I go back and grab another pair in red figure maybe a gift? at $16 who cares!

I get home jack them in and .... well my mind is simply blown. no other way to put it.



I just paid $22.50 for a set of wireless bluetooth headphones that sound better than some $100 wired headphones I have tried. No joke. I can't believe it. I try song after song and just can't get over how freaking good they sound. I think. Fluke. I rip open the other package. SAME.

good solid bass. won't rattle your skull but definitely not "missing" bass. good highs good mids good balance. good volume (won't blow your ear drums but I turned them down a notch) I can't believe it.

I bought them figuring to make them a skype gaming headset and now they are also my primary music cans too. I am already thinking mods to increase battery life (stock is 10 hours) custom paint and larger muffs to fit over my gigantor ears.

NOW they are half off !!! $15 freaking dollars. I bought another pair and have plans to buy at least 2 more if I can for modding hacking and just having extra's. they sound that damned good.

GO to a rite aid right now if you can. pull them out of the pack pair it to your phone and TRY IT. if you HAVE $16 in your pocket (tax) you WILL be buying them. they really are just that good.

from CRAIG of all things. I can't believe they are so good.

Here is a little video review I put online (in 4k!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMvYESOMmAY

go give them a listen. you won't be disappointed. they sound that good especially for $15. they work well for phone calls too. thinking about modding a set with a boom mic. should not be that hard to do. bigger muffs and a boom plus some orange paint equals perfection!

they also have a convertible tower speaker system (with line in 3.5 in BT in and fm radio and remote) half off $30. I grabbed a set. it was broken out of the box (second speaker no joy but 5 minutes later my soldering iron fixed that (wire was not connected)

"shockingly" good. not as "wow" as the headphones (those are simply astonishing) but pretty damned good for the price and they look nice too. I am going to put a set in the camper and get another one to hack up and put some quality speakers inside with a woofer. :)

they also had a sound bar for $30 but it was a two speaker bar and seemed pretty janky to me.

For $15 I would give a pair of these a shot myself. Sadly there's no Ride Aid stores in my area and for that matter nobody seems to carry them locally in my area as well. Bummer as I wouldn't mind finding a good replacement for my semi aging Motorola S805.

you can get them around $40 online. they truly "ARE" worth the price. I would never have bought a pair for $40 without having listened to them.

after listening to them. instantly. they really are that good. at least to my ears. so far I am 100 for 100. every single person I have had listen to them has bought a pair. even got a rite aid employee to buy a pair tonight :)

here is a pair on ebay

111247675824

$40 shipped $30 if you "bid" instead of buy it now and no one outbids you.

very worth it. I am even thinking of nabbing a few to resell (they want $78 on amazon. that's nuts)

Hmmm. I don't "see" any model numbers. I just did a search for Craig Bluetooth Headset. forget amazon that seller is nuts $78. I bought a few to put on ebay for $40 (worth a shot) No link I think that would be inappropriate for this forum.

Gonna write a letter to craig and let them know how good they are. they really need to keep making these.

I just bought a pair of these and for the price they are awsome. I have owned the Beats Studio, Executives, Wireless, and the Pro's. I don't think those are worth the price but if you have to have that little b on the side of your headphones then go for it. I personally think that they are not worth the price but these are. I was talking to my 15 year old daughter about fixing her $ 180 beats that her mom bought her against my advise and she broke them within 3 months. I told her that I could get a set of cheap head phone and put the speakers from her beats in them so that she could have the better speakers in the cheap headphones. She said "they wouldn't say beats" so when I unboxed these and paired them and she could hear how loud they were she was begging for them and I said but "they are not Beats" and laughed at her.

thats when you get a beats sticker and slap it on the side :) hehe plus I was simply not impressed with the sound of the beats. I honestly think these sounds better. not as loud no. not as much bass either (but I considered the beats to be over powered)

I tried "souls" too they sounded like crap.

The beats solo's are like 200 bucks and these sound far better than those and they sound just as good as the wireless ones which are 280 I think. The only thing I wish these had would be a wire back up.

so like if i go out right now, to rite aid, it's only 16 dollars?

EDIT, is the battery rechargeable or what?
Yep they're rechargeable, I ended up buying 3 of these. They're hard to find in my area though. Most Rite Aid stores are out because they're a clearance item now. Went to 5 stores and in two I got my collection. The third store I went to had a red and the fifth had a white and a blue. They sound pretty damn good for what they are. The price is $29.99 but now they're half off at $14.99, so better hurry.

EDIT; @op, does BT drain a lot of battery?

If you do end up doing any mods to them I'd be interested since the ear cups are just way too small for me. If I could mod the ear cups, I'd be quite happy with these.


got the the headphones, tbh, they feel like 30 dollar headphones.
I picked up a pair also.
Yup, they definitely feel like cheap headphones. I question how long they'll last.
But they sound surprisingly good. Great deal for 16 bucks
