Is the SP16 good for running?

The open ear-hook fit is the point: it stays on the ear and lets you hear traffic and surroundings. It is not sealed, so wind and gym noise come through too.

Does it have noise cancellation?

No. The SP16 is an open over-ear design, so it does not block outside sound or cancel noise. It is meant to keep you aware, not isolate you.

How does it compare with closed-back sports headphones?

Closed-back rivals seal the ear for stronger bass and isolation. The SP16 gives up that seal for awareness and a lighter, less fatiguing fit.

Can I take calls on it?

The description covers music playback, Bluetooth pairing and on-ear volume control. It does not state a microphone or call handling, so check with the seller before relying on it for calls.

Is it water resistant?

The listing does not state a water-resistance rating. Treat it as sweat-tolerant at most and keep it out of rain and heavy sweat until the seller confirms an IP rating.

The description does not list box contents. Expect the headphones and a charging cable, but confirm with the seller before ordering.

Our take on the SP16 Wireless Over-Ear Sports Headphones

The SP16 is a budget Bluetooth sports headphone with an open ear-hook design that sits over the ear rather than sealing it, so you stay aware of traffic and gym noise. It pairs wirelessly with phones, tablets and laptops, has on-ear volume control, and is built around padded ABS ear cups and a flexible headband. That open fit trades bass isolation for safety and comfort during long sessions. Shoppers who want deep, sealed-in sound should look at closed-back rivals; those who want to hear their surroundings while training are the target here.
