Pros
Pro Exceptional mic
The microphone has good clarity and can actually be used for tasks other than talking on the phone - like recording podcasts on the go for example.
Pro Comes with two different cords
One cord comes with an inline mic and with controls, and the other cord is your standard audio cable. This inclusion not only allows you to pick a cable to best suit your use-case for the headphone, but this also ensures that you have a spare cable should one get damaged.
Pro Good bass reproduction, warm mids and smooth highs
The bass of these headphones is pretty good. Bass drum hits have good power to them, yet they do not muddy up the sound. The mids are warm and forward, and should present vocals and mid-range sounds quite well. The highs do not have a lot of sparkle, but they are clear and present a good level of detail.
Pro Can effectively cancel out noise
With these headphones it will be much easier for you to focus on your music, or whatever it is that you are listening to. Combined with the closed back design, airplane/train/bus engine noises are effectively cancelled out.
Pro A good number of accessories are included
Along with the two headphone cables, you get a carrying case, an airline adapter and a 6.3mm plug. These should help make the headphones easier to transport and also make them compatible with a wider range of audio sources.
Pro Okay battery-life
You get a decent playback time of 5 hours from the InTone Wireless, and should be more than enough for your short runs.
Pro Magnetic in-line remote
You can easily control your music using the in-line remote. You can pause/play tracks, adjust volume as well as go to next or previous track. The in-line remote also has magnets, allowing you to mount the ear pieces to the remote to keep them in-place.
Pro Splash-resistant
These earphones won’t get damaged when splashed with liquid. These have an IPx2 rating, which makes them resistant to small splashes of liquid or sweat. Getting these drenched or submerging them may still cause damage though.
Pro Decent sound quality
The InTone Wireless delivers decent detail and okay mids. Vocals have good volume from these earphones, while you get okay levels of airiness and clarity from the treble and does not get harsh in any way. The bass is lacking though. You don’t get a lot of oomph from low-bass notes, so these are not the best earphones for bass lovers. Performance should be acceptable for general music use though.
Cons
Con Requires an amp for optimal volume/sound quality
If you really want to get the best sound quality as well as volume from these headphones then you will need a decent headphone amp. The impedance of these headphones is quite high at 300 Ohms, so these require a good bit of power to function optimally.
Con Can get uncomfortable for people with larger ears
The ear cups of these headphones are quite compact, and may rub against the ears of some users, which can get quite uncomfortable.
Con May be too bass-light for your taste
If you love punchy bass, then these earphones may not be the ones for you. Bass reproduction is fairly week and you probably won’t get a satisfying oomph from bass hits.
Con Bluetooth only
These earphones do not have wired connectivity, so you'll need to charge them once the battery is out before they can be used.
Con They fall off the ears easily
The earpieces do not fit well inside the ears. Also, there are no rubber or foam coverings on the earpieces; just bare plastic. When you sweat, the earpieces are more likely to fall off.
