Review: Way Better Than AirPods! - I don’t usually write reviews but I’m really impressed with this product. The quality sound is very good, easy to connect, battery life is excellent and very comfortable to use. Value for money, I think this is a steal! My only criticism is the design, I don’t like the silver bit on the earbuds, just plain off white would’ve been better. But overall, excellent product! Wau better than AirPods!
Review: Very good earbuds for reasonable price - Just received them and tested right away. So my initial review: connection took me just seconds. Sound is amazingly good even comparing to my Huawei Freebuds 4, which costed me 100 euro (I stupiditly lost the case , hence new affordable earbuds). If you don`t own Huawei phone, you can set up volume up and down, play/pause, next/previous song via the app, quite easy, no hassle. The only downside of this model, music doesn`t pause when you take earbuds out your ears/or even one ear (I really loved this feature in Freebuds 4, quite handy). They are comfy for ears so far, very light. The case is made from cheap material especially the top part you open. Description mentions noice cancelling, but there is no any noice cancelling, even the app doesnt display this option as I with Freebuds 4.
