Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

*update at the end of the first review Like others here (from reading these reviews), I scoured through a ton of wireless earbud listings and read countless reviews. Hopefully this helps someone else out on their wireless earbud journey. So as you search for these or any other electronics. READ the reviews CAREFULLY. If you don't see "verified purchase" (which my review should hopefully be displaying), be very weary of the product. There are quite a few high rated products out there with a ton of non-verified reviews (several with the same review word for word but with different names attached). THIS product luckily is one of the few with actual verified purchasers and plenty of them. So just keep the above in mind as you do your initial searching. Now the product lol First, make sure you switch out the rubber insert to fit your ear. The one it comes with is really small and the sound was leaking out too easily. Switched it out with a larger insert and BAM so much better! This is the main reason didn't get the apple airpods because there are no inserts to block outside sound and they're basically just the wired headphones you get free but without the wire. If they make more noise cancelling types I would definitely upgrade to apple airpods but this works great for now. Battery life among wireless buds (apple included) are all going to be a Max of about 5 hours, 6 if you're lucky but I'd be suspect if you see any for more than that. They're just not there yet with these small products with small batteries. I do own a different set that are connected with a wire that rests on the back of my neck that do last about 8 hours so it must be because since these buds not joined it affects the capability to have a longer life. They do both run on their own individual batteries and have blue tooth running from both at the same time so that could also be a factor. If I like these enough I may just get a second pair and swap them out as one pair dies. (I wear them while I work). The case is nice and has a good sturdy feel. I leave it charging on my desk overnight and it's ready to go the next day. The earbuds have tap controls that are nice but sometimes you can tap on accident when you take them out of your ear or when you are adjusting them. It's not a big deal but they are sensitive. Would be nice to have a feature to disable the touch sensors. I've only had them for a short time but I'll update again after some good use. 02/01/2019 Well the headphones certainly held a 4 hour charge for a while but slowly the charge has decreased maybe by 30-45 min and it's barely been a month or so out. I listen to music and podcasts daily at work so I do use them A LOT so maybe for those of us frequent users this might put a damper on the battery longevity. I've noticed at random times there are little blips/clicks (don't know a better way to describe it) in the sound and suddenly the volume increases or decreases slightly. I'll be in the middle of a song and then suddenly it just sounds lower and deeper but then it goes back to normal volume. Kind of annoying when I'm listening to podcasts. The case still charges quickly thankfully and i haven’t really had to charge the actual case more than twice so far and I like I said I use these at least twice a day and drain the battery both times. The ear inserts aren’t as comfortable as other pairs I’ve had. They do tend to make my ears tender no matter the size. Might just be me, but have used other ear inserts with no issues. I considered getting a second earbud set so I can use one when the other dies, but I don’t think I’ll be going that route with these at the current price. Maybe if they were half the price or the less, but for the issues so far it’s defintiely not worth the current price tag. Good try though. I hope the company continues to improve their product because I really want to like these 100%. I originally gave it 4 stars on my first review. -1 star for the battery life depreciating so soon -1 star for the blips in volume I didn’t take off a star for the ear inserts but I just compared them to a different set I have and these are definitely shaped different and could be adjusted. 02/04 Well not even a few days later I'm having more issues. One of my headphones (the right ear bud) is not completing it's charge in the case and before I knew it the (annoying) low battery signal went off. So I take it out and continue listening with the left ear bud. I took both out a little later, but them in the case and let them charge about 40 min (the listing shows 30 min for a full charge and this has been the case up until now) but unfortunately I only got about an hour before I got the low battery signal again. I truly wanted to like these headphones, but I have a feeling the positive reviewers aren't coming back and doing a follow up or maybe I got a bad batch, who knows. Either way I am going to see if I can still return them. I guess I will just have to stop being frugile and just buy the apple airpods. Good luck folks.
