Build Quality: 3.5
1ByOne's Collar Ring Headset has a decent build quality. At a glance you would think it's way too wobbly and cheaply made, but after about 2 weeks of use I would call it flexible. If you happen to drop this you won't have to worry about it breaking because, it will break its own fall. 1ByOne also added 4 magnets to the device which are located in the back of each one of the earphones , as well as at the end of each collar. Buttons are responsive the charger door work to to keep moisture out. I wish the earphone soft piece was more of a spongy material or foam rather than rubbery.
Features: 3.5
This device features Bluetooth 4.1 which in general should improve on connectivity but, in my experience it was not so. Every time I reconnect my device to my phone I have to trick it into being able to play music through the headset (I either turn off the bluetooth, then back on, or I Restart the Bluetooth headset.). The controls could have been handled a lot better. It has a Power / Pair button on the left side, and a +, -, and play / pause / action button. My issue is when trying to change music tracks you have to hold the button + or - button to change. Problem is to go backwards you have to double click.... This function is impossible to perform due you not being about to double long press.
Performance: 4
Its really hard for me to complain about performance when it works so well, once its up and running. I do recommend using a EQ when trying to bring out the best of any headphones. This one is no different. When I started out using them I found the “mids” were too prevalent and “highs” and “lows” were understated. I fixed it using the EQ equipped in Spotify (My music app of choice). The overall audio quality is actually pretty good for its price range. I have no qualms with the battery life either. The box and product descriptions say it has a 10 hour battery life which feels like 30 to me being that I work 10 hour shifts and it last me about 3 work days. It also charges really fast. I timed it today using my Motorola Turbo Charger I managed to charge it in about 45mins. 1ByOne says it is supposed to last 300 stand by hours, now honestly speaking I did not test this but who needs 12 plus days of standby time?
Value: 4.5
This is an excellent value for what you are getting. You can't really ask for more...

This product is currently holding a 4.7 on amazon
Final Thoughts:
These are currently my favorite bluetooth earbuds that I own. They are inexpensive and work almost as advertised. There are a few pet peeves that I could easily look over. I highly recommend this product.
