A slightly longer press activates Siri on the iPhone. The workaround is you need to connect the headphones first before switching on the Garmin otherwise although the headphones appear to connect, you won’t get any sound which isn’t much use.Īlso the function button probably has too many functions so you need to be a little careful on how long you hold the button down. One minor issue I’ve had is a conflict with my Garmin Edge 810 cycling computer which also connects via Bluetooth. They claim 6 hours and I’ve no reason to dispute that!
They claim to be sweat proof, but more than that I’ve had them pretty much drenched from rain showers and they’ve kept going.Īnd battery life is very impressive. Here’s a little video describing and showing their fit – mainly with cycling in mind:
And they are very easy to reinsert – again lightly pushing the fin into the outer ear. I can also easily pull the earbud from my ear for roads and I don’t lose the headphones. This is especially the case if you only have one earbud in place. On my bike I use the supplied clip to attach to my collar leaving a little cable slack, otherwise the weight of the earbuds tend to pull the cable slightly which is uncomfortable. You can skip forward and backwards tracks by holding the + and – respectively. You can adjust the volume by clicking the + and – buttons.
Playing music via the Qy7 wireless headphones You can now start and stop the music (or a podcast) by a single press (not hold) of the function button.

A voice confirms you’re “connected” plus on the iPhone you get a handy icon next to the Bluetooth icon showing also confirming the connection and giving an indication of remaining battery life (see (3) above).Ĭhoose your music application – in my case Deezer and tap play. A 2 second press of the function button turns the device on and the headphones re-pair in seconds. Once you have them fitted and paired with your smartphone you’re ready to go although they may need an initial charge. Qy7 Connected (2), battery icon display (3) In use You can also see the battery level icon (3) showing I need to give them a charge. Tap Qy7 (1) and you’re connected (2)! Every time you power on the earphones they’ll automatically connect from now on. I’ll show the setup with an iPhone but it’ll be pretty much the same with any Bluetooth cable smartphone or music player. Press and hold the function button (1) until the LED flashes red and blue alternately: Pairing LEDs flashing alternately blue and red This is very simple and works like other Bluetooth devices. Pairing to your phone Function (1) button and volume (2) This is impressive since they also hold the rechargeable battery. The earbuds have a little weight but when fitted correctly I don’t notice them at all. The cable is ribbon-like and very tangle-free. The build of the headphones is surprisingly good. There’s also a charging cable and a very handy little clip – more on this later. It turns out both my ears are different so I used a medium in one ear and a large in the other. You need to get them the correct way around and gently push them into the outside of your ear: Fit with ear fin I found the fins with holes work best for me. I’ve never previously fully understood what these are for exactly but worked out that if you find the size that fits the shape of your ear, they do a fantastic job of holding the earbud in place – even in a fast decent. The earphones come in a nice small hard case and come with a selection of ear fins. I wasn’t expecting much, but have been very impressed with them … What you get and fit Case and accessories I arrived at the Soundpeats Qy7 Bluetooth headphones – mainly based on reading Amazon reviews and the price being right (around £15). Finally they need to stay in my ears! My patented piece of black insulating tape has worked very well before for keeping them in, but I wanted something a bit higher tech! They needed some remote since I don’t have access to my phone whilst cycling. They needed to be wireless – the cable just gets in the way cycling. I wanted an inexpensive pair of headphones, since there is a strong possibility they’ll get broken with my intended use. That rules out the decent brands, like the Beats Powerbeats 2 which are pricey.
I’m aware this is a controversial practice – but I usually only want to listen to podcasts cycling to work on a cycle path, and generally have just one earbud in my kerbside ear. I was recently after a pair of Bluetooth headphones mainly for cycling.
