I've purchased a number of pricier Bluetooth headphones and earbuds, and I keep returning to this pair because they are the only ones that don't seem to ever malfunction for me. The durability and value are excellent, they provide good-quality sound, they are comfortable and lightweight, and the battery life is impressive by comparison. Additionally, I find it practical and cost-saving that it is not possible to lose just one earbud with this product. I use these across my phone, computer, and televisions seamlessly. Read more
I continue to love this brand and particular model. The tech used by this product has been copied hundreds of times and you will find multiple variations available for sale. I've bought several, and this one is the best. The main differences are the way the bud stays secured in your ear, the type of USB connector to plug into the charging cord, and (oddly) whether the British woman's voice says "YOUR HEADPHONES ARE CONNECTED" or just "CONNECTED". (They all say "BATTERY LOW" in the same manner, so that's just a strange difference.) What I like #1 is the connector. This uses a USB-C connector, so (as the older type require) you don't have to try inserting it, realize it's upside down, turn it around, try again. What I like #2 is the way it secures. Another design had a soft plastic mesh "finger" that would lock it into place on your ear, but that thing always seemed to slip out of place. This model has the securing element built-in to the design of the earbud. So with an easy twist forward, it's locked in. And #3, it's the full version of "YOUR HEADPHONES ARE CONNECTED". Not that it's any big deal, but it seems almost like evidence that they didn't skimp, and paid the lady for 3 extra words. (LOL, probably not) They do seem to make improvements with each updated model number. There are a couple of tactile elements to the design that make it easier to identify where the button is (for pause/play, etc.). I don't actually use these sitting up or running, however. My use is predominantly for bedtime white noise. (I have a particular gentle-thunderstorm track that plays on repeat all night long.) I'm a side sleeper, so any time I get up to shift sides, I swap one bud in, the other out, and just leave the other bud loose at the edge of the pillow. It works well for this purpose. But I'm replacing a prior model where I must have squashed the free bud, and after about a year, something got sensitive and started shorting out the sound. (no visible cord or bud damage, so it could have been ordinary device failure) But for the price, it didn't upset me. We'll see how this holds up over the year, but so far, it's all good. Sound quality is good, going plenty loud enough (for my purposes anyway). I tend to dislike heavy bass (which causes permanent hearing loss anyway), and this doesn't really have that, so it's a good match for ME. If you wanted that low-end inner-ear-damaging bass, this won't really deliver. (I already pay the price for my youth with constant tinnitus -- kids, take care of your hearing! The loud ringing 24/7 for the rest of your life seriously sucks. -- And no, the tinnitus is not because I listen to quiet rain sounds all night long, they are on low volume, and I had it long before starting to do this - the rain sounds are just to calm my thoughts.) Speaking of which, it has a good seal on your ear that really does help block noise. (Sometimes I'm so tired that I forget to start the rain track, and it does a good job blocking those insects and highway noises.) Read more
They're fine for any average use. For anyone just wanting good headphones to use for maybe an hour or two at most, they're great. I've just been looking for a pair of in ear headphones I can use at work that have volume, skip, and play controls right on the earphones since I don't have access to my phone while clocked in. All the buttons were perfect on this pair. The battery lasted all day (even longer than my 5-hour per bud earbuds), and the sound quality was great for this price range. My only negative was that the earhooks are not adjustable. They are FLEXIBLE, but not adjustable in the sense of being able to bend the earhook to hold its shape. The fit was okay for a while, but after a couple hours at work, the ear hooks grew uncomfortable sitting on the backs of my ears. I felt like I could still feel them on my ears even hours after taking them off. Overall, this is a really good pair of budget earphones. They just weren't the right fit for my particular wants. I did end up returning them. Read more
I can't recommend these enough. Unbelievable quality for the price. The sound quality is very good, especially for $15. Good low end, not perfect, but for the price they punch way above their class. The battery life is very good, I've used these for 10 hour shifts and the battery lasted the whole shift. They charge pretty fast and are constructed well. They seem very durable. Read more
