Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It seems that the "truly wireless" earbud movement has taken over, especially in the last few months. I went looking online for some and now I see every different style, variety and price point come up in my news feed on facebook and Instagram to the point where it's almost ridiculous. It wasn't that long ago that only a few true wireless bluetooth earbuds were out there...now there are more than I can count it would seem. But which ones are good, especially since they all "claim" to have superior sound...oh, and my new favorite claim is to have 3-D sound or in one case, they claimed their earbuds were 6-D audio...what the heck does that even MEAN?? Well this is where amazon shines clearly above most other online shopping places. You have a community who has tried them and if you do your research, you'll be able to differentiate between the good, the bad and the downright crappy. Don't rely on just one review, either. The more comprehensive the review, the more you can be assured that the review is genuine. The shorter the review, the less credibility they have (and for good reason). Look for details. Now, with that said, I work in the broadcast industry and it is both a curse and a blessing. A curse because working professionally with audio, I know the difference between good, great and superior quality. Nowadays, you can find hundreds of knockoff brand earbuds and headphones that all claim to deliver great audio but in reality, does nothing of the kind. There ARE however, many knockoff brands that actually go the extra mile and delivers some pretty fantastic audio, especially when you factor in the cost. Ladies and gentlemen, that is exactly what I discovered with these earbuds. Compact, great packaging, ridiculously simple to pair with your desired device, and absolutely stellar audio combine for some of the best wireless quality I've heard yet. Is it as good as my Bose Soundsport Free earbuds? Not quite, but considering how good they ARE, I wished I had discovered these before I dropped $200 on my Bose. Packaging says a LOT about the product. The way a company packages their stuff hints that what you're getting is going to be usually a cut above...not in ALL circumstances mind you, but more often than not that seems to be the case. It definitely was in this case. The charging case is, as many happen to be, small but convenient and the buds are easy to remove (I have another true wireless pair that delivers great audio, but are slippery as grease when I try to remove them from the case) and they come with various additional gel tips of different sizes to fit many different sized ears. Unlike the apple airpods which are one size with zero ability to adjust, these win hands down simply for this alone. They won't fit everybody since no two ears are the same, but they'll most assuredly fit more than the airpods do. Comfort. For me personally, this is a very crucial area. I wear headphones (not to be confused with earbuds) close to 5 hours every day and being able to wear them comfortably is my #1 priority, even over audio quality (Though in all honesty, if they are comfortable to wear, but still offer bad audio, I won't use them. Period). I was impressed with how comfortable these felt, even after using them for over an hour. I didn't worry about them falling out or becoming loose, either. Big plus. Battery life was good, though I haven't and usually don't wear them long enough to see how long they'll last on a single charge, because as soon as I take them out, it's back in the charging case. According to the manual, with the charging pod you'll get a total of 24 hours of listening, minus how long it takes to top off the earbuds, of course. Audio quality. This is truly where these shined. The highs weren't as great as I would have liked, however, the low end was much better than I would have expected for what these are priced. Good mid-range and lows, and the highs were modest and in my opinion, very tolerable. All in all, VERY impressive. Pairing was nothing short of great. Quick. Simple, and absolutely seamless. One of the easier to use I've tried. Bluetooth 5.0 isn't available in all products, but most of the newer smart phone flagships all come with it. You'll notice a more stable connection and better overall quality in the audio. One thing I found interesting was that when fielding a phone call, the audio came through loud and clear in BOTH earbuds, while my MUCH more expensive Bose Soundsport Free's only has it in one earpiece. Not sure why Bose chose to go this route, but let's just say this was not their wisest move. But not worries with these. I would have to say that in general, I am very pleased. Especially considering what these cost. If you're on a budget especially, you sure can't do much better if at all, than these.
