Otium Wireless Bluetooth Headphones - Listen to Music in Comfort and Style

Internet Shopper: These are my go to earbuds. I bought my first pair about four years ago and it has worked well. I thought I lost it and searched, but couldn't find it and bought another one. I use them so much because I listen to audible books more than the average person so I decided to buy a spare pair to use while the first is charging. Of course after I bought that one I found my first one. So now I have three. One thing I want to point out that differs from the description is that it uses a USB type C charger cable. The description calls it a micro USB. but that is not correct. I wanted to buy a longer cable because the one that comes with it is only about 6 inches long. Thank goodness some of the cables sold also show pictures of the differences between the micro, the mini and the C cables. I almost ordered the micro charging cable in a 3 foot length based on the description, but knew the picture was not the same as the cable that came with the earbuds. It seems more electronics are using the USB type C cable. I will be glad when it is finally uniform - apparently in the next five years or so. We now have a slew of the old cables that probably will be obsolete in the future.

Nick: For no reason in particular, it took me a while to make the switch from wired earbuds to wireless. While I've had a couple of Bluetooth mics over the years, they were all the single-ear models with mini boom mics that only worked for phone calls and made you look like a stock broker or Hollywood agent about to throw a fit at the Starbucks barista. Respect your food service workers, they put up with a lot. In any case, I figured I might as well try headphones that I wouldn't fall asleep on/get snagged on a door handle and mess up my phone's headphone port/strangle me.

Not knowing what exactly I should expect with wireless headphones, I figured that for the time being, I should get something relatively cheap so I could get an idea of what I did and didn't want from a headset. Plus, I travel and run outdoors a lot, so the potential for losing something that was normally physically tethered to me and my device was high. I've paid good money for headphones before (I have a couple of very coddled Sennheisers for when I really want to try and feel impressive to strangers), so I was all for paying less than $20 for what was essentially a test drive set that I'd wear to death (see...

Jason R. WilsonJason R. Wilson: I have purchased a similar pair of Bluetooth headphones from another company that was at the time considered an “Amazon Choice” because of their high ratings and economical price point. I have actively used them for the last few months and was asked by Otium to try their product.

Shipping was fast (I received the headphones in two days), and the next morning opened up my shipment to try the headphones out.

Packaging was simple to get into—no tape or plastic wrap covering the product; only a cardboard sleeve with the box that contained the headphones. Upon opening, everything was neatly packaged, and there was no damage to any of the inner contents.

The zipper case containing the headphones displayed the Otium company logo on the outside of it, was black in color and had a carabiner attached to it so you could carry it on a backpack, purse, belt loop, or anything that you could think of to connect it to. Inside the case was the headphones, and two additional sizes of earpieces and a plastic cinch to keep the wire between the right and left side of the headphones from flopping around. Also, in the box was a USB cable to charge the headphones, a warranty...
