I’m writing a proper review for these headphones because I’ve enjoyed them immensely and am so grateful to get them at the current piece point of A$30. I have probably used them over 100 hours in 5 months. They are my day to day headphone, I run, cycle and motorcycle with them
Highlights:
-Arrived in 2 days
-Fully charged in 2 hours (15 minute charge works wonders if needed)
-Work as earplugs (like full noise cancelling)
-great base immersions (higher tones have been reported as tinny but I don’t really notice)
-can go running and once twisted in are 100% reliable at staying in (first headphone I’ve owned like this)
-When not wearing the magnetic feature links as necklace
-lightweight with batteries optimally placed very close to the ear preventing tugging
-insanely fast connectivity to my iphone (like less than half a second from turnon)
Drawbacks (don’t care because these are so cheap)
-5hr battery (I actually think that’s good) but here is the catch... when the low battery warnings start you only have 30min left. Essentially this thing says it’s full until suddenly it’s 30 min from empty and that catches people (myself included))
-after hours of wear this type of earbud which is so good at sealing and staying in can begin to hurt
-the cord is grippy rubber and can cause the bud to be pulled out if you turn your head and it’s laying across your collar but occurs seldom
-when I answer a call on my phone screen it jumps to my phone and I have to switch back so instead answer using the headphone button
-my biggest gripe with this is how long I have to hold down the volume button before it skips to the next song, and likewise with going back a song
-the buttons aren’t very tactical and feel like low quality but work fine
Overall I love these things, they have design features which mean that I can integrate them hassle free into my daily routine.
