<span itemprop="name">Awesome sound, wish battery life was better</span>
<span itemprop="description">I got my Y100 headset during that amazing holiday sale and have 20+ hours listening to music, podcasts and phone calls. The frequency response and overall sound are the best I've experienced with bud style ear pieces. And the ambient sound function allows me to keep both buds on while I'm walking the dog down the street. Normally, I'd just use one so I can if have the other ear to hear what's going on around me. Pairing and switching between different devices seems to work well too. My only gripe is battery life. I haven't timed it out exactly, but it feels like they last about half as long asmy old Samsung collar style ear bud set. In my opinion, the sound quality more than makes up for my battery life issues. I'd absolutely recommend this headset.</span>

Our AKG Y100 wouldn't require you to enter a PIN or code when pairing with your devices. If it does, we would suggest trying to put 0000, 1111, 1234.
