The Sleeper Brand of Ear Buds
I have been through a few pairs of true wireless ear buds and wasn't a fan of the fit for most (one bud would fit while the other falls out). These fit great and with the different included tips, you can swap out and customize your fit for both buds or a single bud [if your ear canals differ in size like mine do].
Sound is good. I'm still trying to find my happy place with adjusting my EQ app on the phone to balance the sound on this pair. Bass is great, mids and highs are crisp. Initially, these seem to be on the quiet side, but with that said, I haven't balanced out my personal sound profile on my phone.
When I saw photos of this product in the reviews here [on Amazon], I wasn't impressed because it looked like cheap plastic. On top of that, it's a brand I never heard of. I found out they are far more superior in quality in person. They just don't photograph well. The case is hefty. It's very solid, well protected with a magnetized clamshell lid. It's not going shatter if you drop it. The exterior of the case has a rubberized coating. This was not mentioned in other peer reviews. To me, that impressed me. It means they designed it to provide extra grip versus the slick or cheaper matte finishes. This will also hide fingerprints, too. The buds are plastic, however they are of a higher quality material with no loose parts or gaps in the ear bud cases themselves. The packaging presentation is on par with a higher end product. This isn't something seen at a $31 price point (as of this writing). The closest you could get to these may be the JLab Go Air, but those don't have an enclosed case nor does it offer WIRELESS CHARGING. Yes, if you have a wireless charging pad, then these are the buds to buy. You will be hard pressed to find a pair in this range that offers that.
I will update this review after a few weeks of testing them and getting a better gauge of the battery life. These seem to be on average with other buds in the price range.
UPDATE #1 (4/7/2020): after still having some issues with fit despite trying all the ear tips, I reversed the ear buds. They have a slight angle and for some reason, the left and right earbuds would not totally stay in the corresponding ears they were meant for. Out of frustration this morning, I put them in reversed to see if the right fit the left ear and vice versa with the other ear.
Sure enough, they actually fit better when worn reversed. They stay sealed and do not budge (moving about, talking, yawning, etc). If you are still struggling with the fit, REVERSE THE EAR BUDS (R in left ear, L in right ear). The angle is actually better this way and will lock into you ear better, plus no discomfort. This largely depends on your ear shape, but it's worth a shot.
Now, to proceed with testing these out more comfortably.
