Over the past few years the amount I’m prepared to pay for true wireless earbuds has dropped as previous units have failed.
When my most recent ~£60 gave up I decided to give these a go.
For the price and what I want them to do they are great. All I want is a pair of buds I can hear my music round the house or in the office while being able to talk to people. And these do that fine.
There is no ANC with these and no LDAC codec connection, but if these are things you’re looking for these aren’t the buds for you. They do do what they do well.
Can’t comment on call quality as I’ve not used it and not what I got them for.
They fit in the ear well and I’ve had no need of the additional tips of various sizes. The sound quality is OK to good; it’s not an audiophile experience but you shouldn’t be expecting that for sub £20.
Charging is via an internal USB A connector which I think is designed to be plugged into a laptop, saves hunting for a cable when they do run out of battery. Battery life is good with a full day in the office with no need to charge up.
My only complaint is how hard it is to get the buds from the charging case. There is a knack to it which took a few attempts and escaping buds to get the hang of, the magnets are strong and the case not very big not leaving much room to grab the buds.
All in all worth the money and when these give up, I’ll replace them with another pair or these…
