However, these dont need an amp, and worked fine with my laptop and phone directly, both without cranking the volume even anywhere near max. Very poor quality but functional This is a perfect wireless PA system that works perfectly and is exactly as described. Liked the mild sponge feel of these after I had some foot surgery and stuck with them. I mean, if you use it to listen music like hip hop or something with a lot of bass, the Beats are fine. I’m sure it would be great for traveling. 👊 I love the pressure button that locks your phone into place but my favorite feature is when you release your phone from the two side release mechanisms, the phone, pops out right into your hand as you would normally hold your phone. I love this waist trainer! With the 1000X I had trouble getting the left bud to stay in my ear, which may have contributed to the inferior noise-cancelling, detailed below.
