I ve been using them for a bit more than a month, for the price they are surprisingly good ! they didnt stop charging they didnt die on one side and so on … as i have experienced with other products like that. They fit well in my ear and they dont slip off . noise cancelation is really good , volume control i dont know much about i use my phone or computer to do it . A bit confused about how many taps it takes to do what so if i am confused i put them in their case take them out and they start automatically . It’s good enough for me.
Okay…..WOW!!!
I misplaced my moderately expensive set of buds and thought I’d look for some cheaper options…well, in case my original set turned up.
I looked at these and even though the reviews were glowing, though for 20 I’m not really losing out, if a; my originals turn up, b; the quality isn’t great.
Let me tell you that even if my Denon buds do turn up……..they will now be the spares!!
The sound quality on the A90’s is absolutely phenomenal. I do a lot of DJ’ing and I’ve never experienced such clear, and undistorted sound, deep base, and noise cancelling quality, from ear buds. These would give my over the ear, Sennheiser HD 25’s a run for their money!
I would highly recommend these to anyone and EVERYONE.
The batter life seems to be amazing too.
The playback time is amazing, last a very very long time before having to charge and the battery indicator on the case is a brilliant idea.
I would highly recommend this product.
Easy to use – increase/decrease volume, pause, stop, start. Not used it for calls yet.
Comfort – comfortable to wear, however after longer periods can cause a little discomfort, but much better ear shape than previously used which were more bulky.
Sound – really good quality for such a small device. You’re not going to get the same quality as headphones due to size.
Value – excellent value for money. Was considering buying AirPods, so pleased I didn’t. Would highly recommend
Was about 17 when I got them (60% off and 10% check-out voucher) . Was a bit of a risk as others I have are Jabra for 200, so definitely didn’t expect much. Would I buy them for full price of 50? Probably not…
Wanted these for the “riskier activities”, so if I lose one it’s not gonna hurt as much. I sleep with one of the earbuds in, since I am a side sleeper. So far not lost any, it falls out during the night and I find it in the bed.
Sound is good, considering the low price. Battery lasts ages, because I tend to only wear one at a time whilst cleaning etc, so never ran out. Overall, happy with the gamble. I need to buy earbuds with choice of inserts becase I need the smallest and those fit great and not uncomfortable. No issue connecting to Google pixel 8pro either.
Thought I’d treat the “other half” after getting fed up the slap of his Samsung tablet hitting the bedside table or the floor after he turned over in bed in the early hours while attached to his wired earphones!!
Didn’t want to pay loads in case he didn’t get on with them so when I came across these and read the reviews and the 50% off, I took a chance.
Anyway, he loves them.
So this is his review in a way. Easy to charge and lasts a decent time til the next one, good sound quality, definitely better than wired but then he’s not a music listener more programs and films.
Stylish and compact with a nice storage case.
Fits comfortably in the ear. (This was the area I was more concerned about due to the style of bud of his wired ones)
All in all, very happy to have bought these as a gift and now not jumping 10 feet in shock in bed when he turns over!!
Would buy again.
Controls take a bit of remembering at first but really not difficult.
So looking around, these seem to have good feedback and I decided to get them figuring that if they didn’t work out, I hadn’t spent fortune and if they did work out, he could always indulge in a more expensive set further down the line.
Firstly I have to say the battery life on these are amazing. He uses them every day when he’s at work to listen to music if he has a period of time where he doesn’t need to listen out for anyone, he uses them when he walks the dog and he also uses the most evenings for about an hour to watch TV on his phone or a film whilst I’m watching something different. He’s used them every day since Christmas day and as I write this on the 7th of February, he’s only charged the entire pack once. The battery life is just amazing on these which is a real plus as I expected them to drain down instantly after one use.
They are very comfortable to wear in your ear, some can be quite uncomfortable but the shape of these mean that they sit in your ear very comfortably and can be worn for a reasonable amount of time before causing discomfort.
The case display shows the battery when you open the pack to show you how much life is left in the earbuds.
Probably the only criticism is that there is the light on the side of them that flashes, but I must admit that I am noticed that as I took them out of the packet to take a photo for this review so evidently the light is not that bright that it’s ever caught my attention in the last month.
I haven’t used them myself, but he assures me that the sound quality is brilliant. He likes to watch war movies which quite often have very bass-y soundtracks and lots of loud bombs and similar and he says that it’s all sounds brilliant and doesn’t sound tinny or cheap quality.
When he has his earphones in, he doesn’t seem to be able to hear me. If I talk or I’m watching something in the background, he says that he can’t hear it so noise cancellation in these is pretty top quality too
I honestly think these are the best set of headphones I’ve purchased for him and it’s certainly something I would consider in the future if my daughter wanted a pair because they are so much cheaper than branded ones but do an amazing job.
They were super easy to connect to his phone and can easily be connected to a different phone just using Bluetooth.
100% recommend!
Now, I hadn’t jumped on the wireless earbuds bandwagon because I really didn’t think that I would like them. I thought they’d be uncomfortable and/or constantly fall out of my ears, but when the headphones jack on my phone broke and the wired ones would no longer work, I figured it was time to give them a try.
I chose these ones because they seemed to have great reviews and for only 20, I figured it wasn’t that big of a loss if I did end up hating them.
I didn’t! I am a total convert and feel like I should have got some ages ago.
These look really attractive for starters, both the earbuds and the case, and the electronic screen on the front of the case showing how much charge they have is a great touch.
The earbuds themselves are comfortable and fit into your ear nicely without falling out. They are also really quick and easy to pair. The sound quality is excellent, and you don’t have to have the volume turned up much at all to hear clearly. They hold their charge very well, too. I use them on average for 3 hours every night, and I only need to charge them once a week, if even that, (I’ve never let them get below around 40% charged). They also charge really quickly, too. I plugged them in at 8pm when they were at 47%, and then when I checked again at just before 9pm, they were at 100%.
They are spot on for all my in bed Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, etc viewing.
They are fantastic value for money, and I really can’t fault them.
I bought these to monitor myself while recording guitars in my home studio. Unfortunately Bluetooth causes too much latency for that though. Useful to have these anyway. The sound is ok but not amazing. They seem to last well on a charge.
Had these little earbuds for over a month now and I must say I’ve got no complaints whatsoever. The sound quality is loud and bass heavy with pretty good noise cancelling, blocking out all other sounds from around me.
The touch controls are responsive and simple to use which is always great. If you’re looking for good everyday earbuds for a cheap price look no further than these ones here 🙂
Great battery life and good noise cancellation but unfortunately they slip out of my ears, even with the smallest fitting. If you have the smallest bit of wax in your ears they just keep sliding out which is really annoying.
Read the reviews as always and got the pink For my wife. I already had a similar set and let her try mine and she was surprised how good the sound quality was. So i got her the pink set and she us very happy with them. Great product Well worth the money and amazing for under 20.
My husband loves these. Would recommend.
I gave it 4 stars because sometimes they not so sterdy in his ears and fall out but that might be because they new, he has to get use to how to position them properly. Besides that, he loves to listen to music with them. Even to connect to the TV is quite cool.
Very impressed with these earbuds! Comfortable fit for my partner and extra silicone fittings good too. Sound is excellent … much better than I expected at the price point. Nice range of colours too and charging case is elegant and small. Arrived charged to 79% …. and have only charged once but did not reach 100%. Perhaps I didn’t charge them for long enough? Have not used to empty yet but the 6 hours continuous use battery life is more than sufficient for our needs.
I originally bought some for my husband to use in the gym and got jealous of how amazing they were and needed a pair myself! I use them every morning in the gym and they are fantastic! They have a long battery life, the sound quality is great and they don’t fall out when I’m running or upside down! I then felt my parents were missing out so thought they needed some for Christmas and they were a hit with them too! If you’re considering buying a pair, don’t hesitate!!!
I bought these as my expensive AirPods are playing up I love wearing earbuds to listen to music and podcasts on a daily basis. These earbuds are very comfortable and don’t fall out my ears like traditional earbuds do. The sound quality is as good as any other earbuds I’ve owned as long as my music is loud then I’m more than happy. Battery life is really good and the case displays the remaining charge left for the earbuds. Since a full recharge I’ve listened to over 6 hours of music and videos and the battery indicator shows I’ve got 90% charge left on the charging case.
Overall very good – like that there are 3 sizes of silicon ear pieces to use depending on your ear size, particularly as I have very small ear canals, and the smallest set fit a treat, dont fall out when on treadmill or workouts at the gym. Like that you can see how much charge is left on each ear piece and that you can see when its charging how far its charged. Good instructions as to how to use the earpiece touch controls – easy to use once you remember which is which. Not sure how much noise cancellation there is, as have only used them in quiet environments so far, so not able to judge.
These are comfortable to wear for longer time yet for me I can’t keep them more than couple of hours and they make my ears sweat a little when I keep them too long.
Sound quality !! I mean this is a game changer. The sound is awesome, I wasn’t expecting this and also not expected how great noise cancelling those are. To be honest it might be too good! I was hovering my 3 bed house one day and at some point when I was finishing first room the hover went off and I ‘hovered’ the entire house with it being off because I could not tell if it was running! So had to hover again….
In all honesty, this is an amazing product !
Great sound clarity and bass. Very impressed for the price I paid, which was heavily discounted making them really affordable. I’ve not used them long enough for the battery to run out before putting back in the charging case.
Absolutly recommend these, I’ve used them for running and the during gym work outs and they’ve stayed in my ears, no problem.
Good sound. I use them whilst exercising and I do not get a problem with sweat dripping into my ear like I do with other types which hook over my ear. It’s my first set of this type and there’s obviously the risk of them falling out if they get knocked but for what I use them for I’m happy with them .
My first pair of wireless earbuds and I Love them. I like the sound quality and drowns out any noise on in the background for me. connects easy. Defo can’t go too far away from the box or phone. Like I went to the next room and it kept disconnecting but ill just make sure my phone and the earbuds box is on me when using these outdoors.
These are the first in ear pods I have ever bought. The set up was simple battery life is excellent and sound quality is really good. All I can say is that for the money they are first class. I don’t know how much better the ones costing ten times as much could be that much better. Maybe they top up your drinks for you too while listening to your music
bought for when on offer and they are really good. This is my second alternative to the Major brand and these are superior. Same shape and size as the Branded ones but with a LCD window so you wont be able to see battery levels if you put into a silicone case or letting style case .
Great product in great colours I chose Army Green and they look great. I have large ear canals and they sit well and I can use at the gym.
I purchased 2 of these amazing bluetooth earbuds for my wife and I to use on holiday in Tenerife this year, basically because I didn’t want to lose my apple AirPods whilst away.
I was astonished by the product’s rich base sound, ease of use, comfort of the buds etc.. and considering the cost of these beauties they have to be the best value product I have ever bought.
These are the first set of wireless earbuds ive used that dont fall out of my ears!
sound quality is perfectly fine for what I’m using them for
The touch sensitivity means that when im exercising my arms hit them and the volume changes.
Also, sometimes when i first put them in my ears it defaults to max volume. Obviously this is painful and inconvenient.
i would, however, buy them again.
Price was very reasonable bit product quality i found wasnt the best it was average. If someone is trying to talk to you when you’re wearing these it’s difficult to hear them, if you try talking with them on you can feel your ears vibrate they’re not anywhere near as good as my apple iPods unfortunately, I passed them on to my younger brothers who was over the moon as he upgraded from a wired pair to a wireless.
So, why not 5 stars? In brief, false advertising. These are advertised as waterproof. But theur manyak ckearly states do not place in water and that they are “slightly” waterproof, suitable for use when sweating. What they meant to say then is water resistant. Not a big issue but might be a deal breaker for some people. Additionally, the packaging says 30hr play time. Advert and description says 36+ hours. Which is it I wonder? I’ll soon find out im sure.
Anyway, for the price I’m happy so would still say buy it if you want budget buds.
These Bluetooth 5.3 Wireless Earbuds offer a perfect blend of sound quality, comfort, and convenience that make them superb for music lovers.
They’re so lightweight that I often forget I’m wearing them. Additionally, the secure fit means they stay in place during workouts or even a brisk walk.
Battery life is impressive too. With long playback times on a single charge and the convenience of a compact charging case.
Overall these earbuds are a fantastic choice.
I brought these for my 15yr old son after losing one of his galaxy buds. I was a bit dubious as to how good they would be due to the price as was he. But they have surpassed his expectations. They have a good sound quality and a brilliant range for connectivity. He has no problems with them staying in his ears. Good colour and have lasted well so far and seem very durable
I ordered these as I needed some new one. I had expected a cheap product with bad sound quality to be honest.
Instead I get this lightweight good quality earbuds that have been brilliant. I ordered them in the colour green and they came with several interchangeable buds to suit many ear sizes.
Connectivity is good and they manage decent distances from the device.
Will probably buy in another color.
Very good.
Having lost my very expensive versions I couldn’t afford to get exact replacements. I read the reviews and took a punt, and for the price thought I would buy my partner a pair too. He works in music production and needs to hear the music played out on all different formats and says these are perfect for that.
I love listening to my podcasts on these and they cancel out most of the surrounding sound but enough to keep me safe on the road. For the price I am delighted with them as a replacement!
Since my original review I’ve spent some time with these little beauties and I’ve now upgraded my STAR RATING from 3 to 5. Sound quality is pretty good on the bass and treble. Volume good. I reckon the original review was a little harsh but I now feel I understand why only one earbud worked at a time and I can manually switch off/on either as desired by simply holding (with a finger) for more than 2/3 seconds. Groovy baby…
Got the package on time. Neatly packaged. Instruction manual too small. Needed a mouse to read and verbally advise!!! Haven’t got one of those yet.
First time out of the box (charging case) display indicated the charge at 100%. Put back immediately and charge dropped quickly to 92% (Confusing) – not plugged into mains.
Decided to pair with my mobile but only Left earbud worked. Disconnected and placed back into charge case.
Tried to pair with my PC (Windows 11) and this time only Right earbud worked. Disconnected and placed back into case.
Re-tried the mobile, this time only the Right earbud worked!
Put both back into charge case for an hour (or two).
Took both out of the case and monitored the pulsating light of each earbud (trying to pair). The pulse of R was 3x to that of L. Tried pairing to the mobile. Both lights went out when paired but sound stronger on R to that of L.
Reverted to PC. NB: You cannot pair to multiple devices at the same time. You must disconnect again from mobile before moving onto another pair. As sonn as I disconnected the PC paired up.
Used Windows 11 Settings and Advanced Sound (Volume Mixer) to test further. Setting the basic level for the app to 60% improved the balance between the 2 earbuds (L&R).
Didn’t note any Noise Cancellation in effect! Only increasing volume seemed to cancel outer surrounding noise levels.
Moved back to ‘mobile’ test. Disconnected from PC and got audible confirmation. Connected to ‘A90 Pro’ via mobile and confirmed connection for Audio & Calls but, no sound on play back through Apps.
Looks like another reset. There is a serious issue with the firmware within these little devices that needs serious attention to be considered.
Returned to testing again today. The pairing continued with the mobile with (L)&(R) both working.
Testing extended to features as detailed: Volume, Jump Fwd, Jump Bck, etc all worked. Touching the earbuds is a bit sensitive. Also, Siri volume way louder than the level set by which ever technology.
These earbuds are not really ideal for Sports. The slightest inbalance and they will fall out so I don’t see any point in testing them for sport activities whether jogging, gym, or even any activity beyound sleeping and walking!
As for the phone use and microphone, again, I won’t be testing as I have no need for that use. Purely listening to so I haven’t got to hear the kids but, yet gain the Noise Cancelling doesn’t work.
I really loved that I used it for nearly up to 4-5hours! The only downside is that when you’re putting them on you can accidentally touch the side panel making them disconnect or lower the volume apart from that it’s wonderful I really recommend that if you’re looking for AirPods but don’t have the money this is for you
Despite the case having a build quality akin to a kinder surprise, thou to be fair quite a bit thicker, it seems to be very good set of head phones. Pairs instantly, clear mic when on calls with peeps, charges well and sound has good acoustic range particularly in bass. Pretty good for 20 quid!
My old inexpensive inner earphones gave out after a couple of years. Looked for a new pair and this was one of those amazon recommended or what have you so I checked the reviews. Seemed mostly good and the reviews re sound quality and bass were of interest. I did have quite a lot of scepticism as I have read how good the sound quality is and how deep the bass is on other inner ear bluetooth inexpensive sets were and they were not in fact very good. Not bad but not good. Got these ones through and immediately started to test them out on a range of music… classical, rock, pop, alternative and wow if they were actaully very decent with the depth of sound and tone. Clear, great bass and the noise cancelling is not bad… not great but I can listen to them with the mower going full blast and these are NOT on full volume… so good in fact I bought a second pair (I like a backup and have one for travel and one for home). Not disappointed at all.
I bought four. They are designed so well, and the earbuds fit neatly into the, pleasingly round and robust, case. At 20 sovs, I got several for myself and a couple as birthday gifts. I’m with the vinyl generation but I love MP3s FLAC files and small tech like this. I’m no audiophile so I can’t pretend to be an expert, but these ear-buds and mega convenient, super compact and they sound great with both music and radio chat. There is certainly enough bass so the sound doesn’t sound like it’s coming from inside a Coke can, as can so often be the case. I’ve never worried about charging. They seem to last forever. I use one pair with my mobile and another with the PC to watch movies and videos. There is a lag of about 400ms with video but this can always be corrected by using the “J” and “K” shortcut keys in VLC – I find that just tapping the “J” key several times, to bump up the audio delay to -400ms usually does the trick. The ear-buds connect automatically so all I have to do is take the left one out of its box, and the PC (W11) connects automatically. The mobile connects in the same way. Then the moment you put the earbuds back in their case, they disconnect and the sound source reverts to the default. The price fluctuates with regularity but they are around 20 sovs every couple of weeks, so maybe watch, wait, then buy.

These are not noise cancelling. I tried all the sized buds that came with it and none of them even create a seal in my ear like my other brand of similar earbuds.
I like how they are easy to adjust the volume by touching the L or the R bud.
You can use L or R or both together with no pairing issues (like the current pair).
Great sound quality but without that seal you can hear a lot of background noise.
I’m always sceptical of buying cheap earphones. It’s one of the few things where I feel like you get what you pay for. However these really are an exception to rule. I paid 19.99 for these and honestly it’s a bargain.
The sound quality is really good and unlike some other in ear earphones i’ve used in the past, they don’t hurt. They have a fairly good battery life. I charge them roughly once a week and use them every day. The case is really cool as well as it visually displays how much power is left.
I can safely say these are the best 20 earphones on the market and would even go as far as to say some of the best wireless earbuds you can pick up
They’re really easy to use as well you just tap the EarPod to adjust sound or tap and hold for other settings, the visual display in the charge base carry pod tells you what setting you’re in, so easy!
My sons using his indoors and outdoors with his friends so even when he’s really active and dropped them they’re still good as new. All his friends love the colours and buying them too!
The build quality is best I’ve ever seen, the sound quality is perfect, they fit perfectly in ear don’t fall out like others I’ve tried and are very light you don’t even notice they’re there when you’re busy and they look awesome, people are always asking where you buy them, highly recommend these over any others I’ve ever used, 10/10 A+++
I’ve been using them for the past few months.
They are super lightweight and good looking. I work in a really busy and loud environment and most of the headphones have been to quiet to hear anything, but not those. I can hear everything even on the lowest level.
Another great feature is the long lasting battery. I use my headphones for 8 hours a day, everyday and don’t have to worry about the battery percentage. Previous two pairs of a different brands didn’t even last half a day. With this ones one 100% charge lasts more than a week!
The case is a good size that will fit every pocket. The range is great. I can walk around the house and work without taking my phone everywhere.
They fit in my ears really well, making them fantastic companion for my runs. I don’t have to worry that I may lose them.
I love them so much that got another pair for my wife and mum, and both of them are happy with them.
Those are great headphones that I highly recommend to anyone, I’m already thinking about getting another pair in a different colour 🙂
These seemed to fit the bill in terms of simplicity, and I was glad to get them for him. Intentionally, I decided to wear them for a day or two just to get the hang of them, so I could help out my father later when problems inevitably showed up.
Case:
This is one area which needs desperate improvement. The case is nearly perfect, save for the indent which is supposed to allow one’s finger to hook on the lip of the lid to open it. It’s not deep enough, and the hinge has a bit of flex in it, meaning that when it’s closed and I’m pressing down hard to get some purchase on the lid, I’ll wind up pushing the lid backwards, making the lip created by the indent disappear. This is severely irritating, and I’ll likely put a trimming of grip-tape on the lid just to make it easier to open.
Outside of my qualms with opening it, the case has a matte but pretty finish, a little lightweight, and I can hear the earbuds rattle around inside when I shake it.
Sound Quality:
Flipping amazing. I compared these to my 2nd Gen Echo Buds (2021), and the bass is deeper, but the mids and trebles are not washed out in comparison. The sound is tightly controlled, rich and lovely to listen to, moreso than my 2021 buds which seem almost tinny in comparison. Even without sealing on my ear, I can hear everything, and whilst it might not sound the way the recording studio made it, it certainly sounds pleasant to my ears.
Fit:
Irritating to say the least… I do not like the silicone sleeve, so I took it off, but it seems Amazon is going in a particularly stupid direction here. The first-gen buds had a loop for the wingtip, which was difficult to get aligned properly but wasn’t nearly as complex as the veritable harness that you have to slide on the 2nd gen buds. Now we have a sock of silicone, made of sticky, un-sliding silicone. Of course, the instructions say not to use the fingernail tip, but the thought is definitely there as I press and pull with my fingers all day to try and get the unmoving sleeve off. I got rid of them for a better fit, but not after a few requisite tries putting them on and pulling them off, to gauge how they felt on.
The sleeve irritation aside, they fit well, much easier on the ears than the 2nd gen ones, even when I did get the sizing right. They don’t go into one’s ear canal, so there’s a lot less pressure on that part of my ear, and it actually makes the listening experience surprisingly more enjoyable.
Battery:
Pretty good, the battery lasts fairly long… The sticker says 5 hours, but my intermittent usage says a bit longer. Amazon says you can push it farther if you disable Alexa handsfree, which I just might in favor of the long-press gesture since single/double/triple-tap take care of the rest of my desired media control maneuvers.
Charging:
It’s a USB-C port. It seems to charge in less than an hour from fully dead when plugged in. I really wish they sold an upgraded version with wireless charging like they did for the 2021 buds, since they will otherwise turn into landfill the moment the USB-C port dies, which is thankfully less likely than the micro-USB only 2019 buds.
Connectivity/Smarts:
They connect just fine, although I get less Alexa info on the buds. My 2nd gen buds not only tell me when they connect or disconnect from a device, but I get an Alexa response telling me *what* device I am connected to (ex: “Connected to phone, connected to computer…”). These just play accompanying sounds that indicate they’ve connected to…. something.
Outside of that, the rest of the smarts work perfectly fine, albeit missing the workout tracking feature. I feel that was mostly because of Amazon recently giving the Halo devices the Axe recently, which makes me sad since I really liked my Halo View.
Microphones:
They’re serviceable, but nothing outstanding… This is mostly because the Bluetooth profile/protocol used for bidirectional audio is of significantly lower bitrate than the one used for one-way audio. I cannot tell the difference between these and my 2nd gen Echo buds.
Conclusion:
This puts me in an awkward position, because I really like the fit, sound, and battery of these new earbuds, but they’re supposed to go to my father, and I already have a pair of 2nd gen Echo buds, which have the wireless charging and ANC that I also desire.
In a perfect world, I would like to have an around-the-house pair of buds, wireless charging since they’re frequently used, very nice sound, a lightweight battery, perhaps deliberately avoided noise isolation (eg: sound passes right through), and very comfortable. I would also have a pair of travel buds, with huge batteries, strong ANC for planes and trains, and an easy price so I don’t have to worry too much about loosing them.
So far, I have 2 pairs of buds, neither of which fit neatly into my preferred categories, but that’s ok. I’ve placed an order for a second pair, for myself, since these are still going to be given to my father – I really don’t want to give up on that sound quality, and that lazy fit for lazing about the house.
I have unusually shaped ears thus headphones where alway difficult for me to get used to. Same here toi. Regarding of how would i put them in, or change rubber, there’s always feeling they will fall off. Thus constant adjustment and trying to fit them better. And for first few days i was accidentally put volume down / uoyor pause music or skip to another track… Fun times until you learn how to properly grab them if you need adjustment.
Pairing was bit awkward as there was no ligt indicating buds ready to pair. Though its duw to no juice but that wasn’t the issue. After few days and cew more trying it just decided to work. It does takes a while for Bluetooth to discover them once they are out of case. Tried on pc, raspberry pi and MBA. Same results. So its definitely buds. Ill say uo to 2 minutes for them to be visible once you take them off from case.
Charging was not an issue. Used power charger that came with my mobile. First i charged case, then inserted buds and job done. Music wise?
I went from Burzum, through Meshuggah, Sun ra… Many different genres and types of music. There’s good side and bad side. Some sounds good, others lack in vocals. Buds are nit heavy in bass so you will not get headache by listening to Blutonium Boy or Westbam. Listening to jap punk is also a joy. But if you’re fun of BMTH well sad news. You can hear had bad he is on vocals.
You want to know what they are capable of? Listen to Clown Core Computers. Or even better Confusion Pump Panel. From Blade. This is where they shine. Quick response, great swap from lo to high and back.
Why 4 stars? Not sure where or how you do noise cancelling. Also if you coming from on ear / over the ear headphones… It takes time to get use to buds.
Quoting Borat – I Like.
They are excellent for working from home on your smartphone or laptop/desktop but I find that they actually don’t block out enough background noise to make them a truly great product which is why I have given the rating as I have.
Comfort-wise they are absolutely fine, I pop them on and have no issues at all during travel. The cost reflects the quality, good for the price but not amazing.
The best feature is that they show you when they are charging. just what percentage they are charged to. Battery life is average for a product like this, I get 5-6 hours on a full charge, doing work, and listening to YouTube and music.
All in all its an average product with some good features and I’m content with my purchase.
Pleasantly surprised with how good they are, for the price.
I took them on a recent trip to Norway and even on the plane the sound was clear whether listening to music or podcasts.
The Buds are ‘touch control’, you tap the left bud for low volume and tap the right bud for high volume, Control is a little sensitive but ok when you get used to it.
Comes complete with small and compact charger case with a LED screen that show what charge is left and 2 sets of different size ear pieces so you can get the fit right.
Impressed with battery life, so far no complaints and very pleased with my purchase.
