These are legit
I’m not an audiophile or a person that knows a ton about headphones. I do listen to music, podcasts, etc… a lot using some type of earbud. Previously I was using various sport earbuds from Amazon in the $25 range for years. One day I decided since I used them so much I want to get something better. I looked at Apple earbuds & no way was I paying what they cost without trying them first. For all I know they may not stay in my ear or they may be uncomfortable. I did a little research & came up for these for about $55. Right away I can tell these are better quality than previous ones I used. These are only the 2nd set of stemmed earbuds I’ve used - I’ve always used sport style with clips because I felt they would stay in my ears better. These stay in your ears pretty well if you put them in as directed. I found if you eat with them they will fall out. You may not be able to vigorously excercise with these - but other then that they are comfortable & stay in for me. The battery case is tiny - much smaller than others I have. The batter in the buds itself lasts a long time. Listened for about 8 hrs straight & they were fine. These buds have an app to customize them - and you really need to download that. It’s much better than trying to do it through taps, etc.. First I found it a bit annoying the only way to pause using the buds was to take them out of your ear. Then I realized it’s just a default setting - you can control what taps on the buds to what. So, I changed it to 1 tap pauses/starts, 2 taps increases volume, 3 decreases volume, 4 goes to next track, & long press changes noise cancelling. The noise cancelling seems pretty legit. There are multiple settings for it & they block out outside noise pretty well. Previously I had used only big over ears headphones for ANC - I didn’t even realize they had ANC buds. I’m now listening to a podcast & have the ANC on & someone is sitting 5 feet fro me talking & I can hear nothing. If you haven’t used it before - it’s a weird sensation. I haven’t tried it with the mower yet (ultimate test) but they feel like they will perform well. I’ve never had buds costing hundreds of dollars, but sound quality in these seems excellent to me. The app has various settings & adjustments - and it doesn’t feel like a cheap useless app. It’s well done. You can customize control settings for left & right bids separately. I can tell you the sound quality is so much better than my other $25 sets of buds, I’ll never buy another cheap $25 pair. The sound quality is much better than buds in that class - it’s worth paying 2-3x the price. There is also something in thy app you can make the buds make a noise if you loose one or both. Nice feature. They come with different rubber tips, I’ve only tried the installed factory ones & they are fine. These feel & perform like they cost much more than $55 I feel. I’ve never tried AirPods or similar, but my gut tells me they aren’t worth 4x the price. Only minor complaint I can find, is it seems 1 bud connects to the phone & the other connects to initial bud. Sometimes I wear only 1 ear bud & I noticed if I have my phone & 1 bud in & I go far way from other bud it looses Bluetooth. Honestly, all buds may work this way, not sure. So, if I have 1 bud in my ear & bring my phone outside & leave the other bud in the house - it will cut out. First I thought they broke or needed to be reset - but that’s not the case. These seem to be a favorite on Reddit - that’s why I got them. Assuming they hold up, they are really nice & I highly recommend them. The tiny case is nice, they sound great, customizable, etc Update - I just took a call on these & they worked very well Read more
