Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My previous set of bluetooth headphones had lost their ability to hold a charge, so I looked at buying new ones. I was only looking for something which would have decent sound quality and reasonable isolation, and something which would have better battery life. These were on sale, so I decided to give them a try. Not only do these fit incredibly comfortably, but the sound quality is very good. There's a tiny amount of background hiss (as is typical for actively powered headphones) but it's low enough that it doesn't interfere with my enjoyment of the music, and it does serve a purpose in letting me know they're turned on. The controls on the earbuds themselves could be a little better; I wish there were some way of controlling the volume and skipping music tracks, but it only has play/pause and an assortment of call controls. Unlike my previous earbuds, these don't play an audio indication whenever the music track changes, which is good (that was really annoying). Rather than playing little jingles on connect/disconnect, a voice speaks in English. I'd rather have a little tone but the voice prompts are pretty okay too. I also tried recording a voice memo using the microphone, and while the signal level was a bit low (meaning I might come through a bit quietly on a phone call) the sound quality was fine, and surprising considering the microphone is physically in my ear. It might have trouble dealing with background noise. We'll see. The little charging/carrying case is nicely designed. It's a bit big compared to the Apple AirPods, but it has enough battery to charge the earbuds 4 times, and it also itself can be charged wirelessly or via USB. Which is something the AirPods still can't do. All in all these are great little earbuds and are well worth the money. Even at their normal price they're orders of magnitudes less expensive than the AirPods or the Jabra Elite 65t, too.
