I bought these specifically trying to hit the following criteria for travel earbuds: 1. Inexpensive 2. Decent sound quality 3. Some noise canceling 4. Good for using in the shower/tub 5. Comfortable I didn’t care so much about battery life and call answering/call quality, and since I’ve only had them 24 hours, I can’t speak to those features. Here’s how the earbuds stack up for my criteria after a day of testing the things I did care about: 1. For $25 bucks, I don’t think I could have gotten anything better. These are seriously little workhorses for this price point. More below! 2. The sound quality is honestly great. I use AirPods Pro most of the time, and while I can tell somewhat of a difference, these are as much as I would want for casual listening, which is what I was going for. The tone is good, and the range is excellent too— good highs, good bass, and good mids. This surprised me the most. Even if you just want cheap headphones that sound good and nothing else, I’d say go for these. 3. The Noise canceling isn’t perfect, but it’s enough. If the volume of the music is very low or turned off, you can hear some background noise, but when I have the volume just a few notches up, I only hear hints of louder background noises. (Also, the volume range is actually a little higher than I’d like— if you want loud buds, these will do the trick! I actually wish they could go even quieter for when I want to tune out to some chill background tunes.) 4. I’ve used them twice in the shower and/or tub so far, and they did great. They kept on playing even through shampooing and conditioning my hair. Just two words of warning if you’re thinking of getting these for the same purpose— first off, if your ear moves around at all (which is bound to happen if you’re washing your hair), the seal will likely come loose because of water getting in your ear canal. I found that this happened after about 10 minutes in the shower, but the buds made it through shampooing and halfway through conditioning before it started happening. I found that just plugging the bud back into my ear snugly helped them make it through the rest of the shower just fine. Second, if you bend over and have your head low, the buds will fall out because of the water-loosened seal. Something to be aware of, especially if you have an open drain! Overall, I’m excited that these work so well in the tub/shower. I even dropped one bud in the bath twice (just being clumsy), and it plugged right back into my ear and kept playing without missing a beat. Sufficient to say, I’ve thrown a lot of water at these, and they’ve kept going. They wouldn’t work well for swimming because of the seal issue if nothing else, but for showering/bathing, they get a yes from me. 5. For comfort, these also hit the mark for me. The earbud tips they came with fit perfectly, and I usually have a hard time finding tips that aren’t too big for my little ears. But the fact that they came with several different sized tips is a great bonus. Overall, for my 5 criteria, these earbuds checked off every one. I’m happy to have a great pair of earbuds for casual listening, traveling, and showering/bathing. Definitely recommend!

I was skeptical at first but I honestly can't complain about these ear buds. I got my moneys worth and then some. They connected to my Samsung S9, Kindle Fire, Samsung TV, Dell PC at work and even my daughters iPhone 8+ with ease. The sound quality is magnificent; inferior only to the Bose system in my car. I put in one of my daughters AirPods and one of my ear buds and there was no comparison. The AirPod kinda hurt my ear but my ear buds fit perfectly. They don't bother me even after wearing them for hours at work and working out in the evening. I bought AirPods for both of my girls for Christmas, I have had to have both pairs replaced since then because the speaker on one or the other of them went out. I bought my ear buds in March and haven't had any problems out of them at all. The next time those darn AirPods mess up, I'm replacing them with these earbuds. The case is a bit bulkier than the AirPod case but it's perfect for a cluttered purse, it stays shut/clean with a magnetic closure and it's easy to find because it sinks to the bottom. I charged my earbuds to 100% then charged my phone to about 30% and my ear buds every night and the case was still at 32% about a week and a half later. I have not used them in or around water so I can't speak to that. I have never used them for running but for walking, lifting weights and circuit training the work really well. Only once, during a really tough workout, I had a problem with them falling out. I wish there was some type of strap/holder or something that I could get to link them together to hang them around my neck. I have noticed that they work better during phone calls when I'm wearing both of them but they still work using one at a time. I love my earbuds. I would definitely buy this item again. I would definitely refer them to a friend. In fact, I'm seriously considering buying them as a secret Santa gift for a co-worker this Christmas.

For $40, these are awesome ear buds. The sound quality is excellent, and during phone calls, everyone I've talked to has been able to hear me in a variety of locations. At the park, in my house, and standing outside, all my callers said they could hear me just fine. Pairing with my android was a snap, and I like how they automatically pair as soon as I take them out of the case. The magnets make it easy to put them back into the case, and they immediately disconnect from my phone and start to charge. Oh, the case itself can be used to charge my phone, too, which is cool. The reason I gave 4 stars is they don't really fit my ears all that well. I'm not a huge fan of these in-ear buds, and these are no exception. I can't wear them for a long time, as they slide out of my ears and are generally uncomfortable for long-term use. Also, these did not work out as workout ear buds. You see, I sweat. A lot. I've killed every single so-called wireless "sports" headsets that are "sweat proof" in a matter of days, or weeks. I wore these today on my bike, and sure enough, without even moving too much, the left ear bud jumped for the safety of the ground. Seriously, though, it slid out, and they just don't fit me for workouts. If you're like me and generally don't like ear buds because my ears aren't shaped right for them, don't buy these thinking you'll use them for running, biking, or some other aerobic workout. However, if you're looking for a really decent pair of ear buds to listen to music in the office, or at home to drown out your kids, or your kid's poor choice of music, then these are a spectacular deal. I'm really happy with them, and I'm seriously glad the left bud didn't break when it hit the ground. But I probably would buy another pair, because at this price, they are awesome.

I really like these so far. When I initially got them set up and listened to my 1st song the sound was a little tinny sounding; had no bass and sounded like the treble was set real high. I changed the rubber ear pieces to the larger ones (included in package) which created a far better seal and fit than the small ones that came mounted on the unboxing. The sound was 1000x's better. Far more rich and the bass is perfect, for me. The rubber ear grommets appear to be just like any other ones that have been on my earphones in the past, so I'm guessing if the sizes that come with them don't work for you, you can order different sizes that might work better. Unlike other complaints about sound being muffled I did not find that to be the case with mine, sound is clear. The charging box was fully charged when I got it. I have used these for about a total of 10 hours intermittently and the charging box battery has only reduced by 6%. The recharge time seems pretty fast as well. I use these for my bike rides and working out and they hold in the ear well; they have not fallen out yet. Plus the touch capability is nice. As soon as you pull them from the case they link to my phone and are ready to go. The charging box, others have complained about being too big, without ever owning a pair before I'm not sure what there is to complain about. It fits in a pocket with no problem. Sizes approximate: 3" wide, 2" deep, 1.5"tall. I am thinking of getting some for my teenage kids as well. Overall well worth the buy. Again; sound is Rich and clear with plenty of bass that is not overpowering. They have plenty of run time for what I do. The charging case seems to have a large battery to do a large number of charges before needing to be recharged itself.

I don't like to review a product as soon as I receive it and this product is an excellent reason why. I've used these earbuds for six months. When I first received them, it performed almost exactly as the Amazon store page specified. The battery life on the earpieces themselves I found was between 4 - 5 hours, which is fine. 150 hours of playtime was difficult to verify but if I use rough approximations, I ended up with about 40 hours of playtime between charges. A far cry from 150 hours, but 40 hours is still fine for my application. Noise cancellation was hard to verify. The sound isolation from them being in-ears was good enough to be unable to hear quite and medium-intensity noises. Connection was good, and as soon as I opened the case and remove the earbuds they would connect to my phone with no issue and remain connected. The sound is very good - I listen to metal mostly and the bass shows. Problems began to occur two months after receiving the earbuds, and continued to worsen. Six months into using this (regularly first three months, infrequently next three), the battery life has degenerated to 1.5 hours which is unacceptable. Connection issues are frequent. If no sound is played for several seconds, they are prone to disconnecting. Occasionally opening the case and removing the earbuds fails to connect them to my phone. These connection issues have made it fairly frustrating to use. Noise cancellation is still unverifiable but the noise isolation obviously remained the same. Sound quality is about the same. I did not check to see if they are indeed waterproof but since they've become largely worthless I might as well, after I get new, higher quality earbuds. The only positives I have about this is that it takes a long time to discharge the case battery if left unused, up to several weeks. The case is also magnetically shut to keep the earbuds secure. That's about it. One quality of life change I would suggest is for there to also be a readout to show the battery on the earbuds, because there is no way of knowing how much more time you have left in those earbuds, since the case reads out the charge that the case holds, and the phone is generally unreliable at giving an accurate reading. This would have been a 2 if this was at full price (which at the time of purchasing was purportedly $100+), which is basically a scam. But since I saw these earbuds on sale for all of the two weeks before I bought it six months ago, and as I'm writing this review these earbuds are still on sale, I would imagine they're going to stay forever "on sale" which is of dubious legality, but don't take my word for it because I am no lawyer.

I got these earbuds a couple days ago and tried using them right when I opened the package. The pairing mode was very simple and I really liked how they looked. I was very excited to try them out right away because I solely bought them because they were waterproof and you could take a shower with them. So I turned my music on and before I even got in the shower the earbuds wouldn't stay in my ears. I checked to see if they came with multiple size earbuds to change the size out and they did not. The one's it came with were extremely tiny. So I still attempted to try and take a shower to see if they were in fact waterproof. Well there were 3 problems with trying to shower.. #1 Because the earbuds wouldn't stay in my ears, I would push them back in my ears and every time I did that the music would stop playing, so I'd touch them again to get the music back on, which in turn made them fall out again. #2 The second the water turned on the earbuds would not stay in my ears from the water and moisture in the bathroom. They not only fell out but I couldn't even keep them in for a second, unless I was holding them with my hands the entire time. #3 When the water hits the earbuds even a lil it turns the music off instantly! I even tried turning it back on and it would work for about half a second and turn back off. So if you are like me and buying these for the waterproof reason... Don't.. they are not built to be around water. Also let's not forget how they fall out of the ears right away without even moving or breathing. Not the product for me, since I enjoy listening to music while showering. Good day to you all my fellow humans.

Disclaimer: I am an Audiophile that uses Top of the line Bose and Sony Headphones. I am getting these more affordably prices headphones as Christmas gifts. That being said, I cannot find myself to be completely fair on the sound quality, so I QA’d these instead. I tested the specs of the device to see if they can do what it says it does (Within reason of rushing to get presents out.) They actually had a bit of a surprise mentioned in this comment in the Touch Gesture section that wasn’t listed in the description. This was tested on my main sources of audio input: Spotify, Netflix, Hulu. WaterProof: ….NOT testing before gifting lol. They can figure that out and I’ll update Touch Gestures: Passed - There are no buttons on these, which I enjoyed. These are Similar to my Sony headphones that are touch gesture over-ear wireless, so I related to them a bit. o Fastfwd: Tap twice on Right earbud o Back a song (Start song over if in middle of song): Tap twice on left Earbud o Volume Up: Hold left bud o Volume Down: Hold Right ear bud o Pause/play: Tap either bud once o SURPRISE: Tap Earbud 3 Times = Voice Assistant (Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Bixby – Shows up as pick one because no built-in direct integration and must be manually set by phone to be selected Choice Only Once or Always) Connection Range: Passed - As you’d expect from a Bluetooth 5.0 device, about 45-50 feet (Literal footsteps, one in front of the other, size 12.5) Battery Charging + Via Case USB: Passed. - Upon opening, the charging case was on 86% and the earbuds were powered off at 90%. (I know the earbud battery life due to my phone’s Bluetooth UI displaying device battery percent, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Android 9) - I was able to get a ‘Cable Charge’ speed from the case, which was expected. It does not claim to output Qualcomm Fast Charge for Samsung Devices, so no surprise that it did not. - It is a portable charging case, meaning that it does not need to be plugged in to deliver power to earbuds nor external device via its USB cable. Only thing worth mentioning outside of the specs, is: A. The sound quality is great for price. If I ever leave my Sony headphones at home, I will literally turn around and go back home to avoid using the cheap buds I have as backups at the office. TBH, I would use these as alternative for the above average earbud volume B. The earbuds are dependent on the left earbud being powered on and connected to the device (phone in this case) All in all, I bought a few of these types of buds and these will go to my wife and the children will receive the others. Not tested: Point B above mentions being dependent on the Left earbud. The listing images claim that it can go back and forth between stereo and mono mode. In the event of the switch it will no longer be dependent on the left ear bud and each will act as their own unit.

My nephew wants wireless earbuds for Christmas. This got me looking around at wireless bluetooth earbuds that had noise canceling features, great sound quality, and good battery life. My family is in town for the holidays and these things preserved my sanity! The range is fairly decent. I can generally walk away about 25 ft with walls and other things impeding the bluetooth signal and I have no problem. Using them is very easy, and it only takes a few minutes to learn how to operate them to play/pause music, control volume, instantly mutes just by tapping the earbud with your finger. The sound quality is very good quality IMO. I'd recommend buying two sets given the ability to afford it. When the batteries need to be charged, it's nice to have a backup to use when the other earbuds are charging. I had no idea what a hassle wires were until I used these. They're comfortable to wear, but it could be improved. I wouldn't count this as a negative thing because different everyone's ears are different. The designers did well in their efforts to create an earbud that fits well for any given person. To get an even a better fit, the product includes multiple sized silicone earbud tips to fit various size ears. Is it worth the money. Absolutely, yes. It's one of the best purchases I've made on Amazon.
