Customer Review: Bluespoon Review 2 stars only
pros: lightweight, small, almost unnoticeable cons: you'd better not drop it! Not sturdy at all. USB only recharge :-(
Customer Review: Excellent performance - great fit
I am on my second BlueSpoon earbud. I used the first one for about a year before losing it (the principal downside of a super small earbud). Audio quality is excellent both inbound and outbound. Operation is easy - buttons have just the right amount of resistance. Price for quality is great. I have owned both 'over the ear' and 'in the ear' bluetooth ear phones and find the 'in the ear' design to be better for me at every level (comfort, fit, function, appearance). I've always found over the ear models uncomfortable (especially with glasses), and a bit loose/insecure. When the fit isn't good, the audio quality takes a dive. Finally, the in-ear bluetooths are typically so small they don't become your principal fashion statement. People with 'tiny' ear canals (you know who you are) may not care for this even with the smaller ear piece.
