Conclusion and Verdict
We all know what these look like and what they are intended to be an alternative too. I think I am safe not calling out that other brand and the price of those either. We will just leave at, really expensive. I don’t think it is fair to directly judge these against those but because they are similar in design it is hard not too. But the price is night and day. If you are a fan of this type of design then you have something to get excited about because these are great earbuds. The sound is very good at all levels. The only thing I noticed, is at full volume you could tell that was all the speaker had and if it was able to go any higher you would probably start to hear distortion during heavy bass. I could tell it was on the cusp but the audio at full blast was plenty loud enough and the sound was crisp and the bass was distributed well. The battery life lived up to the 5 hours at 50% volume. After you depleted the battery you could throw them in the case for 15 min and get another hour or so out of them. The Bluetooth 5.2 is absolutely fantastic. I was able to go about 70ft before these started to cutout. That is extremely far and being able to go that far from my phone was amazing.
I prefer in-the-ear earbuds. This is going to differ between each person but I find this style much more comfortable and they actually don’t fall out of my ear. You also have the 3 size options to choose from but if you have used several different earbuds you may notice that most of the eartips are interchangeable. So if you have a particular set of eartips you like then there should be no problem putting those on these earbuds.
Another highlight is the ANC function that allows the user to switch between different types of noise cancelling technologies. And we have covered this on several other devices. Lets refresh that tech real quick. When active the ANC produces a sound wave that helps cancel out the background noise. This noise is almost unrecognizable to us but work wonders drowning out the back ground noise. A microphone will actually monitor the background noise and adjust the ANC accordingly. You will notice a slight audio difference when switching back and forth. The audio still sounds great. You will come across some ANC that degrades the audio and its not worth using. But that isn’t the case here. The ambient sound mode is a cool feature that allows for the background noise to freely pass through as if you weren’t wearing any earbuds at all. This is extremely handy if you find yourself in the situation where you want to hear everything around while not missing out you tunes. I didn’t notice any change in the audio quality at all. The audio quality stayed exactly the same.
I am not personally a fan of the touch controls on earbuds. That goes for any of them. I tend to activate the touch controls way to often even of I am just trying to reset the earbud in my ear. Now this is where the app comes in. This is honestly something I hope to see more of. The app had all the touch control functions and had preset equalizers to choose from. The app is very handy and worked very well.
The call quality was as good as you could ask for. This earbuds have plenty of microphone pickups and produces a quality that will garner no complaints from the other end.
