Coosh headphones and headsets boast comfort and wear-ability along with full-bodied sound so it was time to test them out.

Contained in a reusable jar, the Coosh headset already looks promising and when removed, the soft flexible silicone earrings certainly strike you. The original silicone design is durable and is so light weight that I hardly feel as though I’m wearing a headset at all. For the fashion conscious out there, the silicone earring is detachable and interchangeable so if you want to change the colour of the earring or just use the earbud by itself, then the choice is there. Not only are the earrings detachable and interchangeable but they are wearable all day long and actually fit securely, whatever activity you may be doing. The Massive Monkees, a dance crew crash test them to prove the security.

Using the Coosh headset during a regular mini trampoline work-out, I thought the sound quality would be affected but surprisingly they work nearly as well (slight off balance on the right hand earbud) as when I was nodding off to sleep while listening to the ‘slow cheunes’ album on my iPhone. The use of the headset with a mobile phone is enhanced by the in-line mic and the ease of the ‘push-to-answer’ button which can also be used to switch between music and phone calls. The design of the clip keeps the mic and cord firmly in place but has a rotating device that prevents the clip from pulling off from where you clip it. Brilliant.

The headset is compatible with 2.5mm or 3.5 mm for use with music phones and iPods/Mp3s and the actual jack housing is positioned at a right-angle to prevent sudden removal from your phone or music player. A random piece of plastic below the clip which is moveable along the cord baffled me at first until I figured out its purpose- to adjust the length of the cord according to your needs. And if that wasn’t enough there is a bonus. In keeping with the attempted eco-friendly world we are now living in, the cord is made from eco-friendly material.

Overall the product does what it promotes, the Coosh headset does stay on and it does feel good, if it feels all. If your active and on the move and need sound, these are ideal but not so if you’re after the ultimate in sound quality.
