Awesome earbuds with a handy case!
Great little headset! I never had a set that didn’t have some sort of wire between them, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I got these. Needless to say, I’ve been very happy with them so far! You can use these earbuds either one at a time (for calls) or together for music and movies. They automatically pair to each-other when removed from the case and quickly pair with your (they disconnect immediately and automatically as well when you put them back in to charge – great feature IMO!). The Bluetooth range was extremely good as I could go into different rooms and still have a great connection. While I bought them mainly for music, I was very impressed with using them for calls. While they don’t have any active noise cancelation, they fit well enough to block out any ambient noises and having the call in “stereo” was much like talking to the person in the same room! The person on the other side didn’t have any issues hearing me either (granted, I usually am in a quitter room for calls). Battery life is pretty impressive considering the size. I was able to easily use the earbuds the entire morning (just over 4 hours) before they needed charged. At that point, they had dropped to 20% (which causes you to get repeated warnings) so I charged them over lunch and they were good for the afternoon! BTW, the case has its own battery (so you don’t need to plug in every 4 hours!) and it only required a little over 5% of the cases charge to charge the earbuds again! Therefore, I’ve been able to get a lot of use out of a single case charge! The headset comes with 4 sizes of earbuds caps (L, M, D, XS) as well as charging cable (no AC adapter) and very easy to understand instructions. BTW, despite my small ears, I found that S had the best fit. This was very surprising as I usually have to use the XS size! So, if you have small ears, this would be a very good set for you! The earbud caps are hard to change but that is because they are extremely secure once attached! The sound quality is very good once you get the earbuds in place. They are obviously no match for over-the-ear headphones but, as earbuds, they were quite good. Clean sound with good highs and better-then-average bass – can’t complain! The capacitive buttons are great for changing songs (single tap => pause, double-tap L => prev song, double-tap R => next-song) but I found that changing the volume (tap and hold for 3s) was a little hit or miss due to it being too similar to the 2s Siri/Google Assistant launch command – which I personally don’t use. Therefore, I found myself adjusting the volume more at the source then using the earbuds. Speaking of the volume, I don’t know if it was just my sources (tried a few) but the volume remained fairly soft till I got close to full volume. After that, it ramps up very quickly and gets quite loud! Of course, as a result of the phenomenon, the voice prompts are quieter than other headset I’ve owned which I was very happy with! Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for Bluetooth earbuds. The charging case, with its battery levels on it (each earbud and case battery level displayed), is a great asset that I have really enjoyed having. The sound quality has been great for all my uses (music, movies, and calls), and the earbuds are comfortable enough to wear for long periods. Highly recommend! *Update 1*: Found an issue where, if the earbuds are not set right or get knocked around, they will keep discharging/charging from the case till the case and earbuds are both depleted. You will want to remember to charge these before using them as you can't charge them when you're done and expect them to stay charged for more then a few days! *Update 2*: Otium contacted me about the discharging issue. It is a known issue and they already have an updated design ready which addresses it and will send it to me once it is ready! Very happy with the support and will be updating my rating once I get the updated version and can verify that it fixes the issue! *Update 3*: I received the updated charging case - the new magnets are noticeably stronger. So far, this design change seams to have taken care of the discharging issue I had!
