I’d like to preface by saying that I just barely got these, so this is a first impression review (and also the only review I’ve ever felt compelled to make on Amazon). But I’ve gotta say, I already love these a lot. I’ve never been able to afford good quality earbuds, so I’m constantly looking for better, cheaper options - usually to no avail. But the sound quality of these for the price are FANTASTIC. Easily the best sounding earbuds I have ever owned, coming from somewhat of an audiophile. Not only that, but I also have small ears and tend to avoid earbuds all together due to the fact that earbuds generally really hurt my ears…but these? Light weight, they fit nicely in my ear, and they provide smaller ear cushions as well, which I would usually have to take advantage of and I haven’t had to change them - at least not yet. The app that pairs with them is really nice as well. It has an equalizer that you can utilize to adjust the audio to your own preference - which I personally haven’t had to use, as I actually find the audio out of the box really balanced - and you can also actually reprogram the gestures to pause/play/etc to your liking if you don’t like how they come. The app also has different audios you can listen to, from white noise, to rain, to the ocean, to a forest, etc., which I think is a great, considerate thing to add to the app. Incredibly easy set up as well. You take them out of the case, they blink for a second, and then immediately show up in your list to connect to in your bluetooth settings right out of the box. Nothing complicated at all. They also came fully charged which I was pleasantly surprised with. No having to wait around for them to charge to be able to actually try them upon receiving them. If I had to be nitpicky (as I know I’ve been only saying positive things) I’d say the only thing I’m not overly pleased with is just the fact that the charging case feels a little bit cheap, plastic wise. That being said, I really like the strap that comes attached to the case to put on keys or a carabiner or something of the like (and yes, you can take it off!), and it’s not like I expected the case to have the feel of an airpods case - you get what you pay for. It doesn’t feel like it would break easily, though. Just a bit cheap-feeling to the touch, which isn’t a big deal. Overall I would say that, so far, these are definitely a steal for their price. I happened to get them on sale for $18, but even the list price of $30 is worth it. If you’re wanting good quality wireless earbuds that won’t break the bank, these are definitely them. I’ll make sure to update/edit if my feelings on these change, but as of now, no real complaints! 10/10!! Read more
Battery life is longer than 9 hours. I got them at 630pm charged em for maybe n hour put em on around 730ish and fell asleep with em in and they were at 10% at 10am the next morning. I'm really impressed with the battery life and the fact that I can use either my right or left earbud by themselves and that function isn't only for the right one was a very nice surprise because I use them while at work and can only typically use 1 at a time so when one dies I can just use the other. Haven't bought a pair that does that yet so it's new to me. I enjoy the sound quality and noise cancelling. The sound quality in my honest opinion isnt crazy out of this world but it is really decent. I'm actually impressed by these little things I love the way they fit in my ears, I was contemplating getting over the ear ones because of the way in the ear ones feel and fall out but these ones fit really nicely n snug in my ears so it adds a decent element to the noise cancelling. I love the app and that I can choose what each bud does for the tapping feature. Love the white noise options and how clear the phone calls are. Honestly a W for the price and the quality. You really cannot go wrong for $20. I highly recommend if your on the fence about it these are a solid choice for real. Update 3 weeks later Both still work perfectly. I found the battery life is just insane. I start wearing them around 7am and don't get the "soundcore buds battery at 10%" alert until literally 9 or 10pm. I also found that I can leave my phone inside take my dogs outside and they don't disconnect. Really sweet range and I have not had one single sound glitch or issue at all. For $20.. I'm incredibly happy with these. Usually with other earbuds I've bought for $40 or more the left one dies within the first week. I end up having glitches and the range is always dog shxt. I barely walk out the door and they disconnect and the battery life seems to die on the other ones more each week. It's like I can wear them n hour less and now they barely last 2 hours and takes forever to charge only 3 months of having them. I'd say the soundcore earbuds blow the more expensive ones out the water. The charging case charges quickly and hold charge incredibly well. I maybe have charged them 3x. If you drain em til dead and charge the case for like 10-20 mins they'll last you til the next day it's crazy. I Highly recommend you literally cannot beat the quality for the price. Update Sept. 2025 5months later. Everything above still applies. Both buds still work and I way overwork these things. I'm not exaggerating when I say I have an earbud in more in a 24 hour period then I do not my wife constantly tells me how horrible it is for my ears to wear them and fall asleep with them in the way I do lol and I only charge them once a day, I could probably go once every 2 days if I forgot to charge them once but I choose to charge the case fully for work at night and I've never had the charging case even blink red. They're literally working all day and I switch them back and forth. Not a glitch or anything and the battery life is still top notch and sound quality has not dipped at all. I'm even more baffled that I use them the way I do and they still work like new 5 months later. I actually came here to buy another pair so I can leave a pair at work and one at home so I'm not using one pair to death the way I currently do. Buy em. I have a buddy who has the 10mm driver's and they're not as good as these. If your doom scrolling through Amazon looking for the right ones I'm telling you try these. It's barely $20 if you don't like em you only spent $20 but I'm 100% honest with my review and highly recommend buying these. Your welcome Read more
Pros: - more affordable alternative to big name brands - small case size - ear buds won't fall out after running on treadmill - ear buds fit my ears, considering I am on the petite side--very comfortable - beautiful sleek, white color and design - stays charged for a good amount of time without having to charge it again (I've gone about 1 week-1.5 weeks without charging, if you're not constantly using them) - adequate sound quality for the casual enjoyer - super simple volume control options by tapping the earbuds! What I wish for: - a little tricky if you want to switch the connectivity between different devices, but definitely possible! - a little bit of constant background static noise. Not the greatest quality of sound, but as a casual music and video enjoyer, it doesn't bother me--would go for a different brand of earbuds if looking for professional use - I like the app option, but I don't seem to use it as much Read more
