Upon receiving the Outdoor Tech Orcas, I was a bit apprehensive about their ability to stay securely in my ears because of past experiences. To my delight, I was wrong!
After reading the manual to understand the features of the inline controls and fully charging, I took the time to ensure I had a good, snug fit with the correct size memory foam tips and fins, I was ready for my first run with the Orcas.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality and clarity literally blew me away – I had to turn the volume down. The secure fit helped quiet outside noise and ensure my music sounded amazing and helped power me through my run. Once the Orcas are in, they stay put!
CONTROLS & DESIGN
The controls were easy to use (if not a bit more difficult to use with gloves) for adjusting volume or taking a call. The call I had to take was clear on both ends.
The length of the cord is perfect to hang around your neck once you have finished your run or workout.
PRO TIP! Remember to charge after each use! Once the low battery alert signals, you have about ten more minutes of listening.
