Does the sound skips and cuts when you don't have you phone on your hand (but on the table) outside? I know it doesn't inside, but outside?

It works fine outside but recently I've had problems getting them to connect to my phone. It could simply be I have an old phone.

the only time i have experienced this is when I am at the outermost range of the bluetooth, and this is usually when I walk away from the phone for about 20 to 25 feet. Anytime I am within range, the sound is continuous. Also, there are instances where interruptions in the signal occur due to location, barriers, walls, dead zones, etc. At those times, there is a break in the connection. Finally, when the headset is running low on battery, the bluetooth connection stutters and you get the message in your ears..."POWER LOW". I hope this answers your questions.

I use them primary when at the gym or in the office so im not far from my phone. The couple times I went jogging outside I had my phone in a bag under a stroller and had no issues with it skipping or cutting out.

Try turning off the blue tooth on your phone when it is nearby the unit, unless you are playing music. also, i found that if you press and hold the "phone" icon on the top, it turns off the bluetooth signal. weird.

By any chance, when you activate it, does it just sound like moderate white noise, but you still hear what's going on outside of the earbuds? Because I have that problem as well, and I too have an Android. The noise-cancellation isn't all that great. If anything, it makes the sound quality worse. Why the noise-cancellation doesn't work well, I don't know. I'll just say the quality of the earbuds isn't the best.

Just read the other response and I disagree. Mine is full blast all the time and my phone dies before the speaker

Wind noise has not been a problem for me. The bigger problem is that if your phone is in the back pocket of your jersey your head and body seems to interfere with the blue tooth connection. I find that looking behind to the left causes a temporary loss of connection. This isn't a problem for music, but it is for listening to books. This doesn't happen when the phone is on your arm or on the handle bars.

My Galaxy S4 does the same thing every time. I fix it by disabling and re-enabling Bluetooth. This is pretty easy on the S4 - you just swipe down the bar from the top of the screen and there's a blue button there. You tap it and it shuts off Bluetooth. Tap it again and Bluetooth comes back on and then launches a list of available paired devices to connect to. Tap the speaker and it connects. After that the skipping doesn't happen. I don't know a lot about how Bluetooth works, but it seems like if the speaker initiates the connection you get the skipping, but if the phone initiates it, your fine.

Played a few times with the bluetooth connected to my iPhone. Haven't had any issues with it disconnecting during the round. Actually noticed last time I played, that it was a bit annoying. ALL notifications that appear on your iPhone (i.e. emails, texts, application notifications, etc.) appear on the watch and makes it tedious to get back to the distance screen or clear all notifications during a hole, but that may just be me. Hopefully that helps. Definitely love the watch, I wear it beyond just playing, just as an everyday watch. Considering its cost, might as well get as much use out of it.

The speakers are not covered, so the sound quality does not seem to be effected. That said, the sound is somewhat directed. If the sound level is low, and you are listening to music or a podcast, you want to point the bottom of the phone in your general direction, not away from you. At higher sound levels, it doesn't seem to matter much.

Not sure if this is a defect or a "feature". :) I have paired my phone with the SoundBot but sometimes it does not detect it when reconnecting. Usually unplugging the power for a second fixes it.

Check all the ports and stuff. Mine works fine. Something could be plugging the microphone hole. (Bottom left edge/corner) obviously don't cut it out it wouldn't be waterproof but if it's just something clogging it. Also. It could just be a problem with the phone itself. That happened to my friend. Either replace or fix the phone or spend 8 bucks and hope it's the case.

How does it sound when talking with others ? If there are no problems talking w/others ? It can be your moms phone or she is not holding the phone in the right position ..

I don't think its a defect, so much as a battery saving function of the radio. My smartphone will produce a much lesser speaker output, when running on battery, vs being plugged into power. That's my guess.

You can still hear. It just muffles things. Once you turn on the music, it pretty much cancels out all outside noise. As far as people talking, if my ol lady comes outside while I'm cutting the grass and tries to talk to me, I just pull the muffs off and see what she has to say. I hope this helps out.

Sorry, I just saw this message. Everything seems to work fine, EXCEPT, there is a clicking noise that is constant while you are talking and extremely annoying. However, I do not know if it is the phone I also bought or the Basic Talk. Hope this helps.

Mine didn't ring accurately. It would properly ring 2/3 of the time. When it did jingle, it was fairly faint. I'm not sure it would work well outdoors.

Range is pretty good, though I use it mainly in the kitchen while my iPhone is in my pocket. I can adjust the volume or skip songs while my hands are damp or dirty. I have been able to go to other rooms and still hear the music playing though the signals breaks up if I go some place like our utility room with a lot metal.

I didn't hear anything rattle. Just when we move the unit further away from the phone the music will skip. But Lepow customer service is pretty awesome, after I posted my issue, someone called me right away and sent me a new unit. You should update your complaint and maybe someone will reachout.Good luckRamiro
