Haven't seen such a positive yet negative review.

Never wanted a GoPro, but the Session 5 is basically the Hero 5 in small form factor. Of course it's going to be expensive, but I'm sure it's worth it.
Don't read that as a review, just first impressions. I enjoy using the Session and I should say that an action camera should be set and record, deal with framing later as 4k gives you some cropping flexibility. The Session does that brilliantly. The record button on the top is really all you need when you are out and about.

Not sure it's worth the price as I think GoPro tend to over price. Comparing it to the Black to see if it's value for money wouldn't be right. The Black, even though cheaper than the 4 Black, is still too much money I think.

I thought about waiting for the Beats X but then I don't remember a time when I was ever happy with a Beats product.

Good luck with them! I tried a pair on and found them very comfortable despite the size. Sadly i went with Jaybird Freedom which seemed more slick but i ended up not enjoying them at all (nor could i return them so i sold them at a loss).

Thanks! The Bose earphones sound fantastic. I am coming from an old LG Tone for workout and this blows it away.

I have these. I paired them with my watch and use them daily at the gym. I leave the iPhone behind so it is really just these and the watch.

I am surprised how well they sound and last with their battery (all week for more than 1 hour every day, by Friday they are still at 40% or so). I am also happy that they stay on (because I do sweat a lot).

I am very happy with them. Enjoy.

I really want to move over to wireless but I can't decide how much to spend.. might get some cheap anker wireless earbuds to see if I like the form factor. Or do I just go all in and pay more for a better pair....

I started with some Mpow Magneto and I really enjoyed them but they didn't feel as "secure" for working out. Ended up finding a pair of the PowerBeats2 used for $60. Snatched them up and have used them everyday since. I know they aren't high end audiophile but I listen mostly to books and got them CHEAP comparatively.
Not sure what you're uses are. They work great while running and cycling.

I'm interested in these. Seems like I've read a lot of reviews that say they sound great but once they get wet, just from sweat, a number of units have no longer worked. Has anyone have a similar experience or the opposite?

Yes the sweat resistance was an issue when these first came out but Bose recalled them and fixed it last month. I wash these in the sink and they work fine lol.

TBH just want them for my iPad for watching movies, I fancy Bluetooth because my wired headphones get on my nerves with the cable.

Good because I was really interested in getting some of these. Lol, washed them in the sink. Don't think I would go that far.

For the price point they are fantastic, i'm really wanting the Bose QC35's but i've got QC25's, and a pair of QC20's so cant justify it just for BT, now IF they did the QC20's in BT like the soundsport then i'd be on them immediately!

I'm hoping they are decent enough to last for a few months, will probably buy a better pair after Christmas if I enjoy the wireless form factor.
 
Well the Anker SoundBuds are pretty damn good so far, easily matches the quality of my JVC Xtreme Xplosives which are miles better than the EarPods Apple supply. I love the little battery icon you get at the top of your iPad/iPhone, no idea how good the battery is yet so will update when I've used them longer than a couple of hours.
 
Finally did it, bought an Apple Watch S2 SS. Two weeks until it ships though. :D
