Rock solid performer and exceeds expectations
This is sleeping ear bud nirvana. Before going into the pros and cons of these buds, I want to give a comparison to experiences with the GOOGODOQ Bluetooth 5 earbuds. I gave a very favorable review for the BT 5 buds as they fill the need for comfort, battery and isolation. After a year's worth of daily use, the thin wires finally started breaking and it was time for a new set of buds. When the BT 5 version was originally purchased, I saw these BT4.2 version and passed on it thinking it was more modern and a "newer" product. I'm so glad to have given these a try since these 4.2 versions are superior in practically every way. This is my second pair of 4.2 due to the robot vacuum sucking up the power cord and eating my first pair of 4.2 and tearing it up to bits. Listing of pros of the Bluetooth 4.2 version vs Bluetooth 5 version 1. If you have multiple paired items like iPhone and iPad, the sound will not skip. In BT5, if more than one item is paired, the sound has a studder every 1 minute and it is maddening. This really the number one reason why 4.2 is so much better than 5. 2. the voice "disconnected", "power on", etc. is much clearer and easier to recognize in 4.2. The 5 was a cheaper sounding mumble. This is really a trivial thing, but is a sign of increased polish and product quality for the consumer. 3. The sound is slightly warmer and has a better sound than the BT 5. Overall, I'd say the sound performance is considerably better with the 4.2 version. Don't expect high end or audiophile quality here. It simply sounds good and doesn't sound like a tin can or monotone drone. 4. The ear bud material is slightly more supple on the 4.2 which provides a more comfortable fit and results a much better seal in the ear. I don't really have any cons aside from it is defenseless from a hungry iRobot :-) Final thought: If you need sleeping buds that are easy to use, decent quality sound, comfortable fit, long battery life and most importantly, can drown out partner's snoring -> Get this one. If you were deciding between the Bluetooth 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 (this) version -> Get the 4.2 version! Read more
