[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very pleased with the quality of these wireless earbuds. The only caveat for me, but not a product fault, is that these type of earbuds that provide sealed in-ear fit aren't generally comfortable for me. I was able to wear them quite a bit with the smallest ear-tip, but found that for the more rigorous activities, the secure fit was a little too much. I was able to get a few work outs in though (bike ride, weight lifting - laying on back, standing, and leaning over) and had no issues with them staying in.
They sound great. Plenty of power and clarity to drown out background noise; and beyond my workout, they are great for calls, listening to music, and streaming movies on my iPhone. I was pleasantly surprised with the level of bass, too. Perfect for the activities i use them for. Compared to my airpods, during quieter/silent scenes in a show for example, i could hear the soft white noise sound on occasion a bit more. Doesn't take away from the experience for me, though.
I'm not one who typically needs to use the controls by tapping either ear bud, so it took me a bit to get used to while testing. Once i got a better hang of it, i'd say it worked pretty well, but still occasionally missed one of the taps.
Battery life is great. Very pleased with how long the earbuds lasted during each use, as well as the extra power stored in the case. Very long lasting. The only issue i had once was with the charging contacts. Something got between the charging contact and one of the earbuds and it didn't charge until i removed, wiped the contact, and replaced.
And setup was a breeze!
For the price, these are fabulous. My wife will be using them as she doesn't mind the in ear tips, so i am glad they will be getting good use. And if you don't have the same issue, it would be serious consideration vs the price for airpods.
Thanks Belkin for the product and chance to review.
