Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2024
Hello,
I have rarely reviewed anything on Amazon. That is not because I was never satisfied with the products, but I think I never saw anything in a product which asked me to go the extra mile to review something. But I would be reviewing this product to the best of my ability while also describing why I decided to review this product.
Packaging :- I thought that the packaging was adequate and safe. I am plenty sure that the item was safe and secure during transport. The included manual is in many different languages including English, Chinese, and Espaneol. So I think product readability would not be an issue. There is a great assortment of ear tips, and selecting a proper ear tips is very important to obtain a proper isolation and fit.
I do not own a lot of wireless earbuds. So I would mostly be comparing it to some eared wired IEMS I own, Soundmagic E80, Fiio F9 pro, and Apple airpods
Fit and Comfort : They fit very well inside the ear. But proper eartips is very important. I tried all of the eartips and used the one that it came default with since it was the one that fit my ears the well. I would say that the fit is better than the E80 and the airpods (I absolutely hate the small protrusion of the airpods). But to my oddly shaped ear, the F9 pro still seemed to be the best fit, even with an expanding medium sized foam tips. However, I would not say that it is not good. It is smaller than the size of a candy. But I was expecting a smaller vertical presence. You would not be sleeping with these in your ears. However, the fit is really good. After you get a proper pair of eartips, they stay in their very securely and do not fall off even after prolonged use. It is also very comfortable and very light, and don't wear down the ear at all. Neither does it make my ears hot ( something that I have observed the airpods do regularly, due to that protrusion brushing against my ear again and again ). Again, this is not a fair comparison since the fiio has the go-around wire, which goes around the ear, but it is only slightly heavier than the F9 Pro, while being lighter than the other two.
Isolation : After you get the correct ear tips for you, they isolate really well. I can even use these as generic earplugs, and ambient noise is muted greatly even without any playback. The Fiio and Soundmagic with their foam tips cannot hope to compete with this level of isolation. The airpods leak sound continuously, it is not even a contest.
Water resistance : This is not a comparison per-say but the earbuds have regularly faced splashes of water. I even mistakenly went into the shower with them once and it did not affect them. They are only IPX5 sweat and dust resistant rated, but it seems that they can take quite a bit more than that. I am happy to say that they had no problem even outside shower.
Battery life : This comparison can only be done with the airpods. The duet 50 was rated for 8 hours. In my experience they lived fairly well upto that. I was continuously getting 6.5-7 hours of call time on continuous charge. The airpods run out of juice at about 4-4.5. I'm someone who is continuously on call throughout the day (think more than 8hrs/day or even more), so the battery life is very important to me. After two months of continuous use, the battery has come down to 6.5 hours mostly. That is still quite a lot. And that is call time. Music playback time is so huge, I do not even bother to count the number of hours.
Audio : For the test of audio I have used a One-Plus 7T with a mix of Tidal and Youtube Music as a source.
Audio : Since this is a utilitarian headphone, one should look at it's audio quality holistically. It is not a wired headphone that you can plug into your DAC and run from there. This headphone is something that you would be taking to your gym, to your office, during your jogging sessions, and almost all the times. It does not have wires that tangle about and get stuck in the doorknob. With that said, it has good vocals, and capture both male and female voice very well. I burned it on mostly classical music, with a heavy emphasis on piano and cellos. And it sounds very well. I like warm melody and lush voice and this can give me that. On an average I would call this to be a very warm IEM. It does not do well with cold beats. My burn is not what I would call a V. It is of a flatter geometry. The crunches of the guitars are very prominent, which I really like. The lows are not fast, but they aren't muddle either, and are very prominent. So it's not F9 pro, but it is no airpod.
Customer Service : These people have EXCELLENT customer service. I was having a mild problem with my case which was charging the headphones only 2.5 times fully instead of the advertised 4. And they shipped me a replacement free of cost within A DAY of me putting in a request. In the middle of the corona pandemic, that is quite a feat. This entire review is dedicated to Jake from customer service who personally requested me to review the product. Thanks Jake!
o Headphones: I went from 100% to 10% battery and got the “battery low” audible message after an impressive 6 hours on a charge, somewhat short of the claimed 8 hours. On my Android OnePlus 5 phone, the remaining battery percentage is displayed in the Bluetooth settings.
o Case: I did not measure the number of re-charges available.
• Buttons: Poor
o Far too much force is required. I was hoping for 1/4 the force that is required for these. I find it unpleasant pressing them into my ears with each click.
o Button clicks produce a very loud and annoying mechanical click sound.
o Both of the above problems make me tend to reach for my phone rather than using the earbud buttons. Both problems are lessened somewhat by pressing the button near the top edge rather than in the center.
o I frequently accidentally triple click instead of double clicking, which annoyingly opens my digital assistant. I wish I could disable that feature. Pushing in a button which itself moves into your ear takes some practice.
o Left/Right button operation: Single click (either side): play/pause/answer/hang-up; Hold one second: previous/next track; Double click: Volume down/up. There is unfortunately no auto-repeating – Going down three steps in volume requires 6 clicks.
o The earbuds can be turned off by holding the button for 5 seconds, and turned back on by holding for one second.
o Pro: Unlike touch buttons, mechanical buttons can be used while wearing gloves, which is important for me.
• Ear tips: Could use improvement
o 3 pairs of thicker/heavier rubber.
o 2 pairs of a thinner rubber which appears to be silicone. Unlike the heavier tips, these were VERY difficult to install. I was afraid of damaging the earbuds.
• Sound: Good
o This is entirely subjective, but for my taste they have too much mid-range and not enough base.
o With proper equalization though they sound *very* good. On my OnePlus 5 Android phone I use the Poweramp app which has an equalizer, but sadly the Amazon music app does not. And while my phone’s OS provides an equalizer, it can only be used with wired headphones! Oddly, the bass response drops markedly when I open my mouth, which suggests a lot of variability in the sound quality experienced by different individuals based on the size/shape of their ear canal.
o AptX makes a subtle but noticeable improvement in the sound quality. I’m glad I chose a product that has this feature, but it’s only effective if your phone also supports AptX. Upon pairing, my phone briefly flashes a message confirming AptX connectivity.
o Loudness: They can play without noticeable distortion louder than I would recommend anyone use them.
• Case: Excellent
o Dimensions: 1.20” x 1.22” x 3.19”.
o Well designed and made to fit comfortably in the pocket -- small with rounded corners all around.
o 4 levels of charge are indicated by the number of flashes of a single LED upon insertion or removal of an earbud.
o Earbuds magnetically snap nicely inside.
• Connectivity: Very good.
o The earbuds paired flawlessly with each other and with my phone.
o I experienced very few dropouts walking around with my phone in my pocket or even when it was 30 feet from me. The few very brief dropouts I experienced occurred when I put my hand in my pocket, completely covering my phone.
• Microphone: Poor
o The mic is built in to the right earbud and seems to be located under the button with no opening for sound to enter from the side. The result is that you’ll sound far away and muffled to the other person. It is usable in a quiet room, but in a noisy environment it will produce poor results. Holding your hand up near the side of your face (making a sound tunnel from your mouth to the right earbud) improves the sound heard by the other person quite noticeably.
• Weight & Fit: Amazing
o Remarkably light weight and as comfortable as anything stuck in your ear could be, even after 6 straight hours of use. The lack of “wings” to hold the earbuds in place was not a problem for me, but I was not doing anything more active than walking.
• Other
o They are helpfully marked “L” and “R”, but incomprehensibly with dark grey ink on a dark grey background, making the marking impossible to read in many lighting conditions. Fortunately, the direction of the logo can be used to differentiate them.
o Sound isolation is better than other earbuds I've used, with typical ambient sound being reduced to negligible levels.
With lighter-touch, less-noisy buttons I would have rated it 5-stars.

- good enough battery life at price point
- good sound quality
- good distance / strong connection
- good price
- earbuds have fit options
Cons
- Advertised that each charge of earbuds should last 8 hours, but only lasts 6 hours, I tried this 3 times.
- Not great for charging a smartphone, as the full charge was only enough for 8% of total batteries. For emergency use only.
- see image: my earbud fits came with one tip missing. Contacted their support, and they said they'd mail me new ones, and send shipping info. Been a week, and haven't heard from them yet
Overall: for the price, I'm pleased with the product as long as the battery life doesn't decrease significantly with use.
