Tranya T3

This is my 1st pair of "true wireless" earbuds and have had them for a little more than 2 weeks and am impressed with them overall.I have been a staunch user of wired headsets due to bluetooth's inherent limited audio quality. Over the last few years the quality has improved and quirks such as moments of signal or data drop have all but been eliminated from a good majority of reputable brands. I decided that now would be the time to try these out as the $ to performance value is at a sweet spot for me. I have been a bit envious of wireless earbud or head phone users as during any activity that requires hands in front of you the wired earbuds/headphones would always get in the way, but I refused to compromise on sound quality.I am a bit of an audiophile having started 35 years ago in car stereos, and then high end home audio/home theatre systems, so anything sitting on my ears had better sound good or they go straight back to where I got them.Sound:I generally start with flat equalizer settings on any device so that I can get an idea of where the manufacturer has decided the best sound be. I feel that the sound quality is very balanced with a bit more focus on bass as mentioned in the brands title/description. It is not overbearing by any means, but definitely more present than many earbuds I have used. I have used Bose, Shure, Focal, and B&W so I have a bit of experience to compare with. The hi end is crisp, a tad on the sharp side on some recordings, but overall balances with the bass, with mids perfectly curved in the middle.Fit:I am an avid user of earbuds that have soft silicone tips that fit in the ear canal so I am a bit biased against buds that sit outside your ear such as Apple's ear buds/pods. The T3s sit perfectly in my ear without much adjustment or discomfort. I used them for 7 hours straight last week while traveling and did not feel any discomfort or want to take them out. I must have asymmetric ear canals since I got the best fit with a small tip in my right ear and a medium tip in my left ear. Everyone is different so I recommend trying different sizes until you get a good comfortable fit. The passive noise isolation function depends on it. This does not have active noise cancellation, rather noise isolation, kind of like ear plugs. The better it fits in your ear, the better the seal, from outside noise entering the ear.Battery:As I said earlier, I traveled for 7 hours and listened to them at 75% volume (100% on earbuds, 75% on phone) they lasted without shutting down, but I imagine they were drained. That's plenty of juice for me. I put them in my case and they were fully charged in about an hour.Connctivity:Connecting to my Samsung Note 9 was painless and straight forward. I did not have any issues with connectivity traveling to my regional airport in a vehicle, then flying in a small jet, then walking around the Charlotte international airport. I did experience some disconnecting and pauses while eating in the food court, but I guarantee that any other device would have done the same as I looked at the Bluetooth list and there were about 50 devices scanned in the immediate area, as well as countless other RF devices in that area. Once I left the food court and got to my gate, the disconnecting and pauses stopped. Full disclosure, I did have to return my1st pair due to my left earbud disconnecting while around my house. I contacted Tranya and they responded immediately and ensured that I had received a defective pair and they were correct. I traveled with the replacement pair in this review. A big props to Tranya support.Call quality:This is where you need to take into consideration that these are not the end all solution to earbud/headphone/headset for phone calls. These will give you a great experience on both ends of a call if the room or car is quiet. I could not host a call in the airport as the ambient noise was picked up a bit too much and passed to the other end. For $50, these do well for music and phone calls, but if your main feature is phone calls look elsewhere, but be warned that you will pay 3X more for the negligible difference.In summary, I am very pleased with my purchase and will not be looking elsewhere for a "better" music listening earbud until there is. Not the best for phone calls in loud surroundings but does an excellent job in quiet surroundings. Just buy them already you want the true wireless experience earbuds.

I train for long distance endurance activities where I'm on the move for 8-20 hours. I run a lot for training, about six days a week, and needed some earbuds that could handle the abuse of training up to 16 hours a week in various environments (gym, trail, city, cold, hot, dusty, etc.). I also wanted something with long battery life without needing a recharge. My longer training runs are in the 4-6 hour range. Many of the competitive products can recharge in the case and give you 60-100 hours of use. However, I wanted something that could last at least 6 hours on a single charge, most competitors (including airpods) are lasting about 3-4 hours tops. These boasted 8 hours on a single charge and I was intrigued. Lastly, I often run without my phone and wanted to play spotify music of my Garmin Fenix 5X plus fitness watch. I now sometimes these music watches can have trouble with bluetooth power levels and compatibility.I have used these for three weeks of training, and one 50 mile / 12 hour mountain ultra. Here are my thoughts:- Comfort: They fit in my ear well with the standard size ear cushion. They seem to lock in well and feel comfortable, even for hours of use.- Durability: I have been using them in the gym for strength and treadmill sessions, out on the trail in the heat and dust for 4 hour runs, and in the city on the asphalt. They seem to handle sweat and dust with no problems. I try an wipe them off before putting them in the case. I haven't been able to test in cold weather yet.- Sound Quality: This seems very impressive for bluetooth earbuds. Great sound and impressive bass. They do seal tight against the ear, which helps with sound I'm sure, but means you'll have trouble hearing others on the trail or street. I run with one earbud in, if Im concerned about this.- Battery Life: The battery life seems to live up to their 8 hour claim. I have used them on several 5 hour trail runs. I recently ran a 50 mile ultra-run race in the mountains and used one ear-bud (races don't allow for sound in two ears for safety) on medium volume for about 7 hr : 45 min and it had not died yet. Also, since the charge case is small, you can always throw the buds in the charge case for a bit, and put the case inside your pocket, pack, or ultra vest. Another option is to use one bud at a time with the other in the charge case and you can have continuous playback in one ear for more than 90 hours.- Fitness Watch (Garmin): These paired right away. The right ear is the master and I wear my watch on my left wrist. I got some music cut-outs when I first paired them and tried to switch the left bud to be the master. You can't with this model when you have both buds in-use (you can use the left solo and then its the master). I also didn't want to move my watch to my right wrist (personal choice). After a few minutes of letting things "sync up" while I ran, the cut-outs went away. I rarely get one, and it's about one second. Usually happens when I turn my head right, further away from my left wrist. I haven't noticed it happening in weeks. No issues with my phone ever.- Call Quality : This was not important to me, but it seems to work just fine. I haven't heard how the mic audio sounds for the receiving person, but I spoke with my wife several times in the middle of the 50 mile race and she and I talked just fine.Overall these are the best bluetooth earbuds I've seen or used at any price, for the features I needed. When you consider the price is 1/3 of the top competition, it's an insane deal.Improvements I would like Tranya to consider. No stars taken off as they didn't promise any of these. I just want them to make the next generation even better and I would pay at least double for these few improvements:- The push button controller on the buds is mildly dis-comforting when you push them in to your ear to activate the buttons. You get softer with your button presses as you get used to these. It would be nice to have the tap-on housing/or gesture type capability, without an actual button press needed.- It would be nice if the left bud could be switched to the master device. Currently you can only use the right as the master. When your using one bud at a time, you can use the left solo. However, if your using a music watch with lower power bluetooth antenna, on your left wrist, it would be nice to have the left bud being the device paired with the watch. You can move the watch to your right, but I like it on the left side. These seem to work fine left wrist to right ear with Garmin Fenix 5X Plus - very rarely I get a quick cut-out of signal for a second if I turn my head to far.- This is probably harder to do and keep the price good and the sound quality up, but it would be nice if you could have a pass through sound feature for times when you need to hear ambient sound for safety. I've heard of this working with the microphones on some earbuds to listen to the sound and pass it to the speaker.

These are pretty solid earbuds. I’ve not had any connection issues with my iPhone X whatsoever, however with my HP Pavilion x360 laptop the buds would disconnect every once in a while and then reconnect after ten seconds or so. I mainly use them for my phone while at work and I only use one at a time because I need to be able to hear what’s going on. They block out so much sound which is in itself both a pro and a con to me. They do get uncomfortable for me after a while and I have to switch ears, I have the smallest ear tip installed and I still experience discomfort. They fit fairly well and I’ve only had them try to slip out a handful of times. Sound quality is actually really well for the price point which is why I gave them four stars, I notice a little bit of a tinny sound with certain genres of music, however, I listen to hip hop/rap most often and that sounds very decent with these. They seem to last quite a while as I’ve fallen asleep with them in and they’re still playing after five or six hours and I just place them back in the case. One major dislike that I have for this product is the case itself. It is much too bulky to carry in your pocket and the tiny magnet on the lid doesn’t do a good job in my opinion. I also had these in my shorts at work one day and bumped into something and almost broke the lid off the case, I just had to pop the hinge back into place. Overall these are really nice for $30. I would buy the AirPod pros if they weren’t so expensive but these will definitely do the job for the time being.
