 | Veosport Sport EarphonesThe world of earbuds, and more specifically, Bluetooth earbuds, covers a spectrum of features that manufacturers try to focus in on. Fit, security, sound quality, and price are each highlighted, depending on the model in question. The big problem is normally only one of these features are or can be highlighted. Emphasizing or focusing on one feature usually forces the others to take a back seat in the real world (great sound quality buds tend to be bulky, cheap buds tend to lack great sound quality, etc). One company currently on Kickstarter is going big in striving to excel in all these features at the same time. That company is Veosport, and their premier earbuds, the Veosport V1’s, are aiming for this very goal. Not only do the V1’s aim to be comfortable earbuds, but want to offer great (and customizable!) sound quality, and all at a very compelling price. |

Conclusion
I’m really enjoying the Veosport V1 earbuds. First off, even without the pending EQ app, they are by far the most comfortable ‘active’ earbuds I’ve worn. Also given the amount of bass they naturally produce, I’m very much looking forward to tweaking the sound profile to get a more balanced output; with that I’m more than confident the sound quality will literally sing from these.
If you’d like to invest in a pair of V1 earbuds, be sure to check out both the Veosport V1 homepage here and the Kickstarter page here.

As a local blogger and photographer, I prefer to shop local whenever possible. Headphone options seem to be endless, but not until recently was I able to buy a pair that originated right here in Sacramento. The problem with previous brands of headphones that I’ve tried is that they cost a fortune only to quit working after 6 months. Or, even worse, I lose an expensive pair and then I’m truly SOL. Local Sacramento resident, Garrett Marchesano, recognized these short-comings in the industry and set out to create a feature packed option at a reasonable price. Of course, I jumped at the chance to shop local and support a friend. However, the question is: Do These Stack Up?

Unboxed:
If I didn’t know the origin of this company, I would guess that it is a million-dollar company and not an idea that came to life in my friend’s apartment. The attention to detail is incredible!
First off, let’s discuss the packaging. It must be the engineer in me, but I appreciate a clean, aesthetic packaging of a product.With Veosport you’ll get either a white or black box depending on the headphones’ color. A magnetic flap is used to open and close it. It’s definitely an appealing box to store the abundance of accessories that come with these headphones.
Besides the obvious, let’s discuss what’s included. One of my complaints about Beats Powerbeats is that they come with a cheap-ass rubber case. Not even a zipper! It’s nice to see a case included here that I actually want to use. What’s more? You get two cases! One is a high-quality zipper case with an internal mesh pocket to hold additional ear tips. The other is a slimmer, velvet cinch case to tuck them away easily in a pocket. Even the secondary case is higher quality than the cases typically included with other brands.

Next up are the ear tip options. Take your choice because 8 different pairs are included. 3 sizes of silicone earbuds, 2 sizes of triple flange, and 3 sizes of foam tips. My go-to has been the medium silicone earbuds. They seal the ear nicely to drown out surrounding noise. I like options, though, and no one’s ears are the same. You’re sure to find something that works for you in the box.
Then, there’s the included charging cable. Any iPhone user knows the issue with these! They all end up failing after repeated use near the end. This is a high quality, braided cable that will last. Another small detail, but a nice touch indeed.
The remaining items in the box include a cable shortener, cable clip, user manual, and a Veosport EQ card. Veosport EQ is an app that was developed specifically for these headphones. For all of you audiophiles, it allows you to truly customize the sound to your liking. I’ll be honest, I haven’t used the app because I was impressed with the sound right out of the box! It’s an additional feature, though, that is not found with other brands.
The Headphones
So, what about the headphones?! As you can see above, these come with a ton of accessories, but what truly matters is the headphones themselves. These headphones fit into the ears with your choice of the included tips. To eliminate any chance of them falling out while running or exercising, they also have a neoprene hook that goes over the ear. This hook is way more flexible and forgiving than competing brands. I find these to be more comfortable after extended use.
Each end is connected together with a wire that is long enough to go in front of or behind the neck. As mentioned above, a cord shortener and clip is included for any excess that you may want to secure.
The volume and playback controls are integrated directly into the ear pieces. The benefit of this is that the design is well balanced on the head. When including the volume controls on the wire like other companies do, it causes one side to be heavier than the other which causes awkward bouncing of the wire when moving. Integrating the controls truly shows the thought put into the design.
Finally, what about the sound? I can’t call myself an audiophile, but I do enjoy how my favorite songs sound blasting from these headphones. No complaints here. I was especially impressed with the bass.

Athlete Endorsements:
Veosport has already garnered the attention of some top athletes. The first is my all-time favorite fighter, Urijah Faber. The second is fitness star, Whitney Miller. Both were thoroughly impressed by the sound of Veosport, and I’m happy to see the company getting recognition. Forget all of these athletes, though, what’s my final take?
Conclusion:
Simply put, Veosport headphones are the best value on the market. Tons of accessories, attention to detail in every aspect of the design, and performance to match that of other brands that cost three times as much. Really though, for $49.99 - $59.99, what’s stopping you from ditching your cords? Shop Local.
