UrbanearsAlby True Wireless Bluetooth Earphones, Ear Buds - Dusty White

This is the white Urbanears Alby model of wireless earbuds in a white case. It came along with a charger, USB-C port for charging, two pairs of removable ear tips with different sizes, legal and safety leaflet, and the user guide. The overall design is aesthetically beautiful and discreet.Though I-personally- had a bit of difficulty to get these earbuds to work at first, they are quite simple to set up. It was a little bit difficult for me to get the right and left earbuds synchronised. It was either the right or the left one to play at a time and not both. I had to perform both a hardware and a factory resets, and I only managed to get them synchronised after so many trials of turning on and off that. The second issue I had, which can be a little bit on me, is getting them charged. The manual states that I needed to remove the plastic from the case and then put in the earbuds again. The only thing is that I could not find the plastic to be removed until my friend did.The earbuds have a great quality of sound output, they get charged super-fast and last for a long period, (I used them for four hours in a row), and their design is so comfortable for the ears unlike my other earphone, which after a while and my ears start hurting. The charging case is also good, not too big and not too small; it fits in my pockets. They are also easy to control with a touch (tapping on the heads of the earbuds). Be careful to press instead of tapping as they may turn off and then you will have to go through a synchronisation issue again.I used them in rainy days and I may say that perhaps they were subject to couple of water drops but that did not affect their performance. However, this is by no means an invite to put them under water purposefully as you may damage them.Overall, I find these earbuds very convenient and satisfactory.

These wireless buds look terrific.Okay, that's the good news out of the way. Now for the rest:They are rubbish. Only one side pairs, sometimes the right, sometimes the left, but never both. I have done a full factory reset, twice, but the same problem occurs.Note also that the charging case has near-invisible plastic strips covering the terminals - if you don't remove them, the buds won't charge.Pairing is a bit hit or miss.And the sound, in one ear only remember, is okay. A bit tinny, as most buds are, and could do with a lot more bass.Will give them away in Trick or Treat next month

If I would look for the design, portability, functionality and size than I would give for this Urbanears Alby earbuds 4-star but if I look for the sound quality than it’s only a 3-star product. I never been and I will never be a big fun of this earbuds, I rather have a big headphone on my while I’m traveling or I’m in the gym so I can enjoy the music in high audio quality. My other big issue with this earbud is the battery. The promise of up to 15 hours playtime sounds good but with one charge you can only use it for up to 3 hours so you will only get 15 hours if your earbud is fully charged plus you can charge it from the charging case for another 4 times. Again, with a proper earphone you will not have this problem. It comes with a USB Type C cable and 3 silicon in-ear tips (different sizes). Featured with touch and sound control which is nice but even the cheapest chines earbuds have this function. It has no Active Noise Cancellation, for this price I was expecting this. Works with Bluetooth 5.0, it was easy to pair with my phone. It’s not the most comfortable earbuds I ever used but it stays ok in my ears, and passed the headbang test, it was not fall out from my ears. Both earbuds have a microphone in it which is great, usually only one side is featured with mic. I’m not sure about the microphone quality, I have not tested yet.So, let me summarise my review. Compare the price (£49.99 the time I Wrote this review) it’s ok, don’t stand out from other earbuds on the market. If you really want to go with an earbud instead of earphones there are better options for a little more but it’s wort to pay more for the quality.

I figured I'd focus more on problems other reviewers have had.1.. pairing, paired first time for me without a problem.open case, remove ear buds, remove clear stickers covering case terminals(barely tell they are there), put buds back in the case and shut the lid. open lid, put buds in ears, connect to urbanears alby. done.

I like these earbuds. They look good and they sit in my ears really well. They are comfy and don't fall out.The charging case works really well and is also useful for storage. Charging is fast and if the case is charged it will charge the buds each time they are replaced in the case.Sound is awesome, I love it. I can hear highs and lows. With a tweak of my phone settings I am getting perfect sound.I had major problems when I first got these, hance only 4 stars. I could not get them to pair. I've had wireless buds before and know I must take them out at the same time etc. At guest they just didn't pair at all. I tried got about 20 mins and the best I managed was one ear!I left them got a day and came back to them, and found I had the same issues. I was ready to stamp on them when all of a sudden both ears worked. I did nothing different. Since then I've had no problems at all with connection.Teething problems aside, these really are very good buds.
