Bluetooth Headset, V5.0 Ultralight Wireless Headphone Cell Phone Earpiece with Mic Headsetcase,Volume Control, Handsfree Earbud,Compatible with Android/iPhone/Smartphones/Laptop

Incredible bluetooth headset for the price
This is an amazing headpiece for my phone and pretty decent for music, and is especially so because the price is so low. I’ve tried other bluetooth headsets for my Galaxy phones over the years (and before them, starting with my ancient pink Razr phone before it died, and my Blackberry after that (which I hated but is still in my desk drawer), but this is by far the best and cost the least. The best previous one was a Jawbone Icon Thinker, which had a good sound for voice calls but wasn’t that great for music. Also, I bought it years ago, and the earplug part was miserably uncomfortable and kept falling out until I bought Jabra gel attachments for it. After that, it stayed in and I could actually hear my calls.I tried others along the way, but the Jawbone was my go-to for, get this, 6 years. I bought it on Amazon in 2014. Well, the battery has been giving up the ghost and finally pooped out yesterday. Frankly, it’s amazing that it lasted as long as it did.I figured that I would have to bite the bullet and spend a whole lot of money on a new one. So I went shopping on Amazon. I checked the Jawbone Icon first, to see if they still have it. Well, an outside vendor sells it on Amazon for $49. Yeah, sure, 6 year old technology, even if I like it, well, it’s nothing I’m spending $50 for.So I spent the afternoon researching and really liked the look and features of the Kendir 5.0 but I figured that at less than $20 it probably wasn’t all that great. Then I read the reviews. Wow. So I dithered about the white one or the black one and decided on the black one. I placed my order and expected it to come tomorrow (or later, depending on the Amazon deliveries during this awful time in which we find ourselves. But it came today. It was fully charged, but I plugged it in because that’s what you do with new technology before. It took about 5 minutes before the read light went off.As soon as I turned the power on, it started looking for the phone to connect. It was the easiest pairing I’ve ever seen.I made a test call. Great clarity. I’m old and my hearing isn’t what it once was, but I could hear just fine. I tested out some of my music and again, I am so impressed. It’s not the same quality as my wireless studio Beats, but then, it’s only in one ear. The music is crystal clear, the music true and not at all tinny. The bass is decent as well. I have pretty eclectic musical tastes, and everything I’ve tried it with this afternoon sounds pretty good.The keys are easy to use. I always had some trouble with the Jawbone volume controls, but these are separate keys on the side and very easy to use. I also like the black and pink gold look and the elegant shape and design. I also prefer the small size. As one of the other reviewers said, because it doesn’t hang in your face or blink, it makes you feel less like a Borg.The Kendir came with a nice, supportive case, changeable ear tips, an extra ear hook, and a short charging cord. I’m not sure that I need the ear hook. I have it on right now and can barely feel it, but the earbud is in pretty snugly. I didn’t have to try one of the others. All this for $16.99.When I really like a product I kind of sound like a commercial. My excuse is that I love gadgets and technology, and when something works for me, it really makes me happy. I’ve been known to write a negative review from time to time, but I strive for positivity. This bluetooth headset makes that easy.If you’re thinking about spending a whole lot of money for an earpiece, try this first. It’s really good and well more than worth it.I can’t wait to see if the battery really does last as long as claimed. I kind of think it will.And to top it all off, I got the scratch off card and first prize to send in for another one. I am totally impressed.

Great at first but a bit disappointing
I have owned at least 15 different bluetooth wireless earpieces, so I’m always looking for the one that best suits my needs. The Kendir has some very solid features, but it also has some serious issues that I may ultimately determine are deal-breakers. If you don’t extensively use dictation for text messages or email, you may find that the positives outweigh the negatives. Here’s my appraisal after having owned the Kendir for about 6 weeks.Things I like:1. Very small and unobtrusive.2. Easy to wear – I don’t even notice that I have it attached to my ear.3. Sound is very loud. This is very important to me. I wish my other wireless earbuds were as loud.4. Battery life is as advertised. The Kendir lasts for quite a few hours before the “battery low” is heard. I only have to charge it every two or three days depending upon usage.Things I’m not as pleased with:1. Serious dictation issues: When dictating on my iPhone 8 (iOS 13.3.1), I am not able to dictate much more than a sentence. Once I end a sentence with a period, though the audio dialogue box remain open and the sound waves continue to be expressed in the dialogue box, it stops dictating. I have done this countless times so I’m now certain this is a design flaw. (At first I thought it was an iPhone software issue but ALL of my other bluetooth devices work dictate as expected.) If I choose not to use any punctuation at the sentence’s end, I am able to dictate longer content. As I mentioned, I have numerous other wireless bluetooth devices that allow for much longer dictation. In those devices, though there is a limit to the length of the content you can dictate (controlled by the the iPhone’s iOS), when the dictation mode stops, the dialogue box also closes. In the Kendir device I have to manually tap to close the dialogue box once it stops dictating into text, and then have to open it again multiple times if a text message is longer than a sentence or two. This is terribly annoying. I end up completely turning off my Kendir if I want to dictate because it’s not worth the hassle. Since I use the dictation feature a great deal, this issue may override all of the positives.2. Loss of Bluetooth connectivity: With my iPhone in my hand or in my pocket, I often get verbal notifications that the Kendir has “disconnected” and then almost immediately it will say “connected”. This just happened as I was typing this review. Why it loses sync when the iPhone is so close is a mystery. Sometimes this will happen 5 or 6 times in the course of a few minutes and then it might be quite a few hours until this happens again.I really want to like this Kendir since the the positives are so strong, but ultimately I may discontinue usage if dictation doesn’t improve and if it doesn’t stop constantly losing sync with my iPhone. Great potential, especially for such an incredibly low price-tag, but I’m still hoping my experience improves.If anyone has experience with the dictation issues, please let me know. Especially if there’s a solution. Thanks!Addendum after a few months of usage [5-12-2020]:The dictation issue has made this headset almost unusable. I can only dictate a sentence at the time. Once I pause for a second or two or I end a sentence with a period, though I resume talking (the iPhone screen wave representation appears to be tracking my voice) it does not dictate anything. And that happens even when I am in the car using the car stereo system (when the Kendir is still on). Initially, I thought perhaps it may have been an iOS issue but after a few more iterations of the iOS (currently 13.4.1), there has been no change. This is the ONLY Bluetooth device I own (and I have 8-10 others) that has dictation issues.Also, too often I get a disconnected and reconnected voice message when I am well within range (a foot or two) of my iPhone. Sometimes I will get this message 3 or 4 times within a span of a couple of minutes. This is incredibly annoying.I still don’t understand why more people aren’t experiencing these issues and why the ratings remain high. I am going to downgrade to 3 stars. The only reason for not lowering it to 2 stars is because of the obvious positive attributes I noted in my first review.So,

Assigns to Galaxy A12 Android as K1.It is a good earpiece and sits in the ear Perfectly.Clear and loud enough for most environments.The earpiece is a nice bit of kit, the only downside to these types of earpieces is that they can be knocked out the ear quite easily, as opposed to the flush mount earpieces that sit and encircle the ear close to the head.Cannot understand some reviews that the earpiece wasn’t loud enough. Either the user is deaf, or volumes are not set correctly on the device connected to the earpiece.All round does the job and it’s nice to be able to move around hands-free.If the evidence is out there about cell phone usage and how close to your head and its alleged effects upon the brain, then an earpiece such as this design would be best suited to the job of in some way protecting you. Top Job

Estoy muy contento con este auricular Kendir K1. Luego de una búsqueda exhaustiva entre muchos que hay en existencia, finalmente me guié por las opiniones de otros compradores y , créanme , valió la pena!Mi primera impresión positiva fue el case o bolsa para guardarlo,tiene bonita presentación, además de la forma que tiene el auricular de muy pequeño tamaño! Parece un pequeño “mouse” de computadora ha ha ha. Según las instrucciones que vienen dentro, la primera vez lo cargué por mas de 3 horas. Ya cargado lo emparejé con mi viejo celular ( Huawei P10 con android 8) y casi al instante quedó emparejado! En las características impresas en la caja dice que viene con amplia compatibilidad. o sea que funciona con Android, PC Escritorio con Windows y Mac, y también con Iphone. (Vean otras revisiones antes, y asegúrense de esto)Lo empecé a usar mi primer día (por cuestiones de mi trabaj) por casi 10 horas, entre llamadas, escuchar musica y momentos de descanso!, y al terminar ese primer día me doy cuenta que apenas había consumido una cuarta parte de bateria o menos!! ah porque en el celular aparece un pequeño icono de la batería del Auricular, y ahí ves cuanta carga le queda. Eso es un plus!. Por otra parte me encantó el sonido; se escucha bastante bien! y según mis interlocutores también me escuchan muy bien. Tiene una esfera antes de la goma del auricular, esta le sirve de caja de resonancia para dar reforzar el sonido en los tonos graves, y de verdad que se escucha super nítido y con graves profundos !!Otra gran característica para los que buscamos auriculares cómodos es que estos Auriculares Kendir, no pesan ! Ultra livianos y muy cómodos, y esto también gracias a su gancho que siempre los mantiene sostenidos y en su lugar. Me parece que te gusta correr y oir musica circunstancialmente no se te caerán ( correr tras el autobus p.E). Ojo, no sirven para corredores o la lluvia porque no tienen protección contra el sudor ni el agua o vapor, ya que el micro USB de carga queda en la parte superior, y muy expuesta a agua o sudor. Creo que este es el único punto negativo, ya que no cuenta con un protector para evitarlo. ¿Pero que más puedes pedir ? Estan aun precio muy accesible! … Quise dejar al último un comentario más : Los he usado por dos semanas, sigo feliz con estos auriculares bluetooth Kendir porque descubrí que una carga me dura hasta 3 días !! Tomando en cuenta que mi uso es : enciendo-10:00am ..apago- 8:00Pm por 3 días , o sea 30 horas aproximadamente sin cargarlo!. Por ahí leí algo al respecto , pero no lo creí; ahora me consta!Los recomiendo ampliamente por todo ( excepto por la falta de protección del sudor).Me llegaron dos dias antes de la fecha, y eso es también para tomar en cuenta. Gracias. Recomiendo mucho esta marca: Kendir, la mejor! …ah y también se pueden usar para ambas orejas , ya sea izquierda o derecha ! te digo que están super !! ahora si ya me voy..

This is the 2nd I got as hot spare (the 1st was the Black, unfortunately a bit “harlem”-like colored, but I had to see it live to realize it).Not only the product is qualitative and with good Value-for-Money but it is the first time after MANY years I’m receiving a product in REAL beautiful PACKING and with a REAL decent glossy MANUAL (bonus the relatively correct English syntax…), far different than the “cheapy Chinesy” stuff we’ve been accepted/accustomed ourselves to get from Sellers and Manufacturers all this time.I bought it after rejecting/returning half a dozen of other similar ones (sorry Amazon and Thanks for your patience and prompt refunds), which didn’t satisfy me, having worked for years with my previous Plantron…cs and Motoro…a Boom2+, which delivered the spirit and are discontinued already, so I was looking for something “equivalent”.Audibility-wise is EXCELLENT, Loud and Crystal-Clear, equal or even a Click better than my afore-mentioned Plantron…cs and Motor…la Boo…2+.The ones who criticize that it lacks Noise Reduction are correct. But we are speaking for really shouting crowd surrounding the speaking person or very loud music in the car etc.Only then it becomes a problem, overlapping my voice to the listener at the other end. Situations when you don’t attempt a call typically, going “out” to speak or lowering/pausing the music, correspondingly.Its BT range is VERY GOOD, maintaining the connection stable in longer distances (and zic-zac-rooms-topology) than my previous “good’ Brands.Happy with the purchase. So I got this 2nd piece (luckily the Grey, with more discrete colors, this time…), as hot spare.Again: Buy it with closed eyes, if you want a good, yet afford-a-price-tag headset.
