Top Best 10 Bluetooth Earbuds in December 2021

Wow, these are impressive. You get sleek and stylish looking earbuds that pump out exceptional sound in such a compact form.

The carrying case is a wireless charging case that keeps your headphones charged for the long haul. The earbuds can go for up to 7 hours on a single charge, but the charging case on standby will offer up to another 24 hours of additional charge and usage of the earbuds. These are a great earbud so far for working out and getting sweaty, due to IPX5 water resistance. Haven't used them for a run in the rain, so I'm not entirely sure they can withstand a full downpour of water.

The earbuds paired up very quickly with my iPhone 13 Pro and hold a steady connection at all times. These earbuds are fantastic for single earbud use if that helps you out in certain situations. Dual connect technology allows for each earbud to be used as a single earbud or both together. 3 sets of ear tips are included to find your proper fit and surprisingly they suit my ear really well. 6mm dynamic drivers are impressive and powerful, as the sound is crisp and clear, along with some deep rich bass.

For phone calls these have been good earbuds with 2 mics in each earbud for a clear call with noise cancelling technology to cut the background clutter. Also these headphones are great for video watching experiences as there is no audio lag while I'm streaming YouTube or Disney+ content.

Included in the box are the earbuds, wireless charging case, USB-C cable, 3 sizes of silicone tips, and the instruction guide.

Digging deeper, I learned that the “Wireless charging case” means Qi charging, another plus.

So far, so good. Now, let’s see how they measure up. Remember, these are in the middle range in the cost category, so they cannot fairly be compared to buds in the higher price range, a mistake often made by some.

MY bottom line is this. How do they do in consideration of their price range?

And now, let’s get on with it.

• They pass the fit test and are comfortable.

• They pair easily as expected with my phone and computer. No, they will not connect with two devices simultaneously.

• Sound is sweet while listening to music, and I can make all the adjustments needed through the music app in my phone.

• Nice feature to be able to talk and listen with just one bud.

• Listening to movie audio is good, too, and there were no latency issues making it seem as if the sync is off.

• Phone calling is not its strong suit. While the sound is clear, callers noticed a bit of hollowness, though not so much as to make this determination a deal breaker. Background sound is not significantly blocked.

• Qi charging works perfectly, as does USB-C charging.

• Battery life per charge is said to be about 7 hours. I listened to Apple Music and got a little less than 7 hours while listening at their best quality.

• They were not tested while gaming.

• Passed the sweat test while working out. With IPX5 rating they should also perform well in light rain.

While they may not be remarkable, they are more than adequate and hold up well in their category. One cannot expect, “WOW!” at this level. On the other hand, purchasers can expect to be pleased without anything to complain about.

Do I recommend them? YES!! Go for it.

I have had a fair share of truly wireless earbuds and most usually last about 3-5 hours on a single charge. These on the other hand have lasted over 7 hours at max volume. Plus, you can use one at a time, so essentially you can rotate them in and out for continuous all day use. The case may be a little bigger than some others, but that gives you over 3 full charges without plugging it back in. Another neat feature is that these connect the moment you open the cover, which means quick use without waiting for audio to cut over from your device.

They have two microphones on each earbud, making it so that you can use either for voice communications and clear audio at that. The only downside to using one at a time is that each one has its own touch function, such as right for volume up, left for volume down. However, you can always still control those functions from your device as well. Besides, it is also just a slight touch and not push like some other headphones require.

As for sound quality, these are pretty decent. They manage to still have pretty decent lows while keeping crispy highs. In a straight audio check, they did sound a little different though. Like my right bud had a little more bass than the left, but that could just be perception or fit. Speaking of fit, they held pretty snug and kept a decent seal inside the ear.

Overall, these Belkin Soundform Rise headphones are of good quality and value. I feel the ability to use one at a time and the long battery life is something that is essential for truly wireless earbuds.

I've used many different brands of ear buds over the years and being the Apple fan that I am, its hard to compete with the OEM. I was pleasantly surprised by this pair. They are very comfortable and secure in my ears and the sound is pretty good.

The battery life is better than expected and is comparable to some of the higher end brands. The charging case fits comfortably in my front pocket and I'm very happy it charges using a USB-C cable.

The only complaint i have is the sound could be better by simply adding an app that can edit the sound settings. The sound is a bit "cloudy" when listening to more upbeat songs, but sounded well with slow songs and jazz. This is an easy fix with an app.

Overall, i really like these headphones and would recommend them.

Belkin - SOUNDFORM Rise True Wireless Earbuds - White

I acquired these earbuds from Best Buy through delivery, opened the package, connected to my phone via Bluetooth, and I was listening to the Stones, Wishbone Ash, The Pretenders, and Uriah Heep.in minutes. I was going to try to find a Bowie song on Amazon Prime, (I forgot the name) and thought I have a review to write.

A lot of the mid-priced earbuds sound real tinny but not these babies. The base is great and the music sounded great. I would stack these earbuds against many that are priced much higher. I would definitely recommend these earbuds for anyone who would want great sound without paying an arm and a leg.

I didn't know what I was missing before receiving these earbuds, but I am so happy to have them now. I received a free sample to use for this review. I am a mom of two; a baby and a preschooler. I have really appreciated having these cordless earbuds so I can watch my shows and listen to music quietly while they sleep and not disturb them. I can also listen to my own music while cooking without worrying about cords getting in the way, which I have enjoyed. There is a little bit of a learning curve to figure out all the features as you have to remember specific tap counts to adjust some things. But it was very easy to set up, fits comfortably with 3 bud size adjustments, and stays put in my ear. The call quality was adequate as well. Overall, I would highly recommend this brand and these earbuds specifically.

Solid product, at a reasonable price point, without the fear of losing one!

I was a little leery to step into using a true wireless ear bud. The shape of my ear canals have not allowed me to use a lot of the basic shaped earphones (i.e. standard iphone earphones that used to come with the phones!), but these nested nicely in my ear, and have additional sized rubber adaptors to ensure that you get the best fit possible.

The charge holds over use, so that is a huge plus.

Sound quality...is solid. Not a lot of bass, if that is what you are looking for.

When I placed calls using those, the other party commented on the clarity of my voice being picked up by the mic function.

I did struggle a little with getting the sound volume right during calls, and may have hung up the phone while I was tapping the earbud trying to increase the volume---- but that may have been user error.

All in all, it is a solid set of wireless earbuds that you will get a lot of good use out of.

Would recommend.

I received a sample product to review and I absolutely LOVE these wireless earbuds. In the past I always used wired earbuds (that came with my phone and iPad) but these are very easy to set up (almost automatically) and the sound is amazing. I would highly recommend them. The only downside is I have small ears and they were a bit hard to keep in my ears. But I found a way to keep them in while walking and listening to a podcast. Also used for Spotify, YouTube and while talking on the phone. All done with ease and very clear sound. And charging them on my wireless charger was a breeze. Very user friendly!

>> Overview

This is my first time owning a Belkin earbuds device and I have been very pleased with it. I mainly used it for music/videos and every now and then for making/receiving calls. From my point of view, the sound is good enough to enjoy most tunes and I’d gladly recommend the Belkin Soundform Rise to anyone who is looking for great sound quality without breaking the bank.

One thing that is missing is noise cancellation, but honestly, I prefer over-the-ear headphones whenever I want to be isolated from the world. This device is good enough to enjoy music in everyday scenarios.

I still need to get used to controlling the device through tapping the Left and Right Buds, the booklet that comes in the box is handy to learn the different taps you need to perform for that.

- Pros: Fast charge time, crisp and clear sound, microphones on each earbud, wireless charging case.

- Cons: touch controls not too responsive.

>> First use

I followed the instructions that come in the booklet. I paired it to my Surface Duo 2 without any issues. The earbuds are white, and they go well with my glacier (white) Surface Pro 2. They fit very comfortably on my ears and look just the right size (not too big).

I noticed that tapping on the earbuds to make the volume up and down needed some training. I failed multiple times to change the volume (perhaps because I am accustomed to use my phone to control the volume).

>> Sound

The sound is crisp and clear. Bass level/range is decent for its price range, I wish it could be a little better as some songs lose a little of their appeal when the low notes are not too prominent/distinguishable. I am not an audio expert, but overall, I’d say that sound quality is great and the device is worth giving it a chance.

>> Features

Besides the standard Bluetooth audio capability, this device can also be used to make/answer calls on your Bluetooth-connected phone (well, as far as I am aware, any Bluetooth earbuds allows doing that, but I just wanted to point this out).

You can also control the device directly tapping/pressing on it, you’d need to refer to the booklet to learn how to control device (using 1 or 2 taps on either left or right earbud): volume up/down, play/pause, move next/previous, answer/gold/hang-up a call.

One last interesting aspect is that the charging case can charge wireless itself. This is nice as I have few wireless chargers lying around.

I have been using car chargers, battery packs, charging devices from Belkin for a while and got Belkin - SOUNDFORM Rise True Wireless Earbuds. The package came with SOUNDFORM™ Rise True Wireless Earbuds, Wireless charging case, USB-C cable, 3 sizes silicone ear tips, and a quick start guide. Setup is easy and configured with my iPhone 13 pro max via Bluetooth. I have tested the call quality and sound quality by playing music from Spotify. The music quality is great and call quality is excellent for mid-range wireless earbuds. It fits perfectly on ears and adjustments can be made to fit anyone's ear size with 3 sizes of silicone ear tips.

Battery life is good with 7 hours of playtime per charge. With a wireless charging case, it provides 24 hours of battery life. With quick charging capability, one hour of playtime can be achieved by charging ten minutes. The wireless charging case support Qi Wireless charging and USB-C charging. With two microphones in each earbud, the call quality is outstanding due to clear-call environmental noise-canceling technology. With 6mm dynamic drivers, it provides high-quality listening for music and calls. I was wearing these earbuds for office calls and to listen to music for a long period of time. There is absolutely no issue wearing this for a long period of time. It is quality wireless earbuds from Belkin and highly recommended for listening to music and making calls.

These earbuds are an excellent choice for the price. They are easy to use, the sound is good, it does a good job for phone calls, and they are comfortable and snug. They lack the dynamic audio quality of higher end earbuds, but they sound great for the price. My complete thoughts below:

- Connection: they come in pairing mode right out of the box and are relatively easy to connect. The left earbud didn't connect initially, but after a quick reset (touch both earbuds for 6 sec), I didn't have any issues. No issues connecting when I take them out of the case for use.

- Sound Quality: Good sound quality with deep bass. However, a little bass heavy for my taste, it kind of drowns out some of the other sounds. Lacks a large sound stage and dynamics that audiophiles will look for. Good for pop, hip hop, etc., just ok for more acoustic music.

- Touch controls: Never really a big fan of touch controls in general. These take a bit of getting used to. There is a rhythm and timing to get these to work. Can't touch too fast or too slow or it won't do what you want it to. Your finger also has to touch the pad in the right spot. I've missed a couple times. One touch for volume control is pretty simple, two touches for play/pause is doable, three touches to change songs is challenging.

- Comfort: the comfort and seal are top notch. I never feel like they are at risk of falling out, and despite not having any noise cancelling features, they do an excellent job of drowning out ambient noise because of the seal.

- Charging case: I like the charging case a lot. Simple look, feels sturdy, the lid really snaps shut keeping the buds secure. I also love the wireless charging capability.

- Microphone: Used these for multiple work calls, and had no trouble with hearing or others hearing.

- Playback: No auto pause feature so the music will keep playing if you take them out. Slightly annoying.

Overall, an excellent choice for the price range.

These are my first earbuds and I am enjoying it so far!

The instructions guide is easy to follow, even if you are new to this like me.

I paired via Bluetooth with my iPhone 11 and my iPad and had no issues, but I noticed I could only use one device at a time.

These are very comfortable to wear. And it felt secure in my ears as well. It came with 3 sizes of silicone tips for a better fit.

The brand claims to be water resistant, so no problem to bring it to the gym and exercise with them.

I am still getting used to the touch controls. The booklet has all the controls explained, you just have to memorize and get used to it.

As for the sound I think it has a decent quality, but they don’t sound fantastic! It lacks lows/bass in my opinion.

I love the minimal-sleek look of the earbuds, and the simple look of the charging case.

Overall, i really like these headphones and would recommend them.

I thought that these were just a cheap pair of earbuds. I didn’t see any buttons to change the volume or fast forward/pause etc. I didn’t notice that they had noise canceling. Once I paired them and popped them in I was quite shocked at how well they sounded! They also have noise canceling and touch controls! Maybe these aren’t a chap “disposable” pair of earbuds!

I played through a few of my favorite songs and I was very happy with the sound! Very nice bass. Nice high range. And, the volume is quite loud. I always hated it when I bought a new pair of buds or headphones and the volume doesn’t quite go loud enough to jam when I want to. I love the fact that I can control volume right from the right and left earbud. I love the fact that there is a built in equalizer in the app so i can dial the music in so its just right!

The battery life is good. Easily gets me through a day at work.

They case is tiny and it charges fast.

I am on a constant search for the best sounding most comfortable earbuds/headphones and I own quite a few. All the major top brands and they are good but they either dont go loud enough, sound good enough or aren’t comfortable to wear all day or the batteries dont last long enough.

These connect almost instantly to my iPhone but switching to my iPad for a movie is kind of a pain. That’s the onl;y reason i dont give them 5 stars. But, I can live with that. For what I want them to do, they do it and they do it better than my other major brands that I own.

They are extremely comfortable and light and really stay put. They dont get caught on things like my other earbuds do at work.

Bottom line. I love these! And for the price they are really hard to beat!

These earbuds are a very good value for the price. I had the LG FN6 true wireless earbuds with noise canceling before and they were great, but these Sennheiser's have very clearly better sound quality and bass. They stay in my ear really well and I don't have to keep pushing them back in my ear every 5 minutes. They are definitely comfortable, though to be fair, any earbuds will bother my ears if I leave them in long enough. The battery life (9 hours single charge, 27 hours total with the case) is very impressive. The earbuds are very easy to set up, and you can adjust the bass, mid, and treble in the Sennheiser control app, which takes 30 seconds to get started once the earbuds are connected via bluetooth. Overall, I am extremely impressed with the quality of these earbuds and price value. Would definitely recommend.

4.25 stars and a very good value for the price. If you're on the fence I don't think you can go wrong with these. Right out of the box, these are very good ear buds. The sound is warm, resonant, and fulfilling. I was content with the quality of sound straight away but you do have the ability adjust the EQ to suit your tastes or the nuisances of the music you are listening too. The overall volume is very loud but not over the top for those who like their music very loud or if you have hearing difficulties. I never once maxed out the volume listening to a variety of types and genres of music. The earbuds are comfortable except for when I was listening not stop for well over an hour but even then just removing and readjusting them did the trick for another long stretch. Battery life was very good and consistent with other wireless ear buds that I own. Neither better nor worse. The charging case is standard and does have a small led light to indicate it is working correctly. The only real drawback is how sensitive the touch controls are. Normally I wouldn't complain as we all want controls that are response but due to the small size of the earbuds and the sensitivity, it is easy to mis-tap or tap too many times. I did get better at controlling them the longer I used them but this stage they are still a little too sensitive for my taste but I'd much rather this than not sensitive enough. Overall I would recommend these and I look forward to continuing to explore their quality with different types of music. Thank you Sennheiser.

Great sound, small form factor. Liked them better than the MTW2, but wish the ANC was better. Could use wireless charging, but maybe they'll include that on the next gen.

New to Sennheiser and will probably never leave. Cozy in ear and sounds amazing before EQ settings

Overall, I have been very impressed with these earbuds. The set comes with multiple cup sizes, to ensure you get the right seal to get the full audio experience. Highs are crisp and the lows are deep. The app allows you to customize your EQ to get the sound you want out of these. I've been very impressed with the SQ and the Smart Control app is very easy to use.

My primary issue keeping these from receiving 5 stars is the lack of the ability to adjust the call function taps. The tap are of these earbuds are extremely sensitive. I've dropped calls trying to adjust the earbuds because my finger accidentally taps the touch section. The app allows you to change the settings for listening to music (pause, stop, play, volume increase, etc) but does not allow you to change the phone settings. This would be a 5 star set of buds if I could disable or edit the touch settings for phone calls.

Device used with: iPhone 12 Pro

Super clear sound and awesome bass! The fit is still light weight even with smaller ears.

Sennheiser CX Plus In-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones are Amazing! They are very comfortable and come with various size earbuds to choose from to get a perfect fit. The Noise Cancellation is top-notch it works extremely well I couldn't be happier with these headphones. They paired effortlessly to all my devices, phones, laptop, car audio, home audio, etc. My home is quite large and they allowed me to roam freely without losing connectivity, Something other headphones have been unable to do. The battery life is phenomenal my air pods die after 4hrs these last at least 9hrs probably more. The tap and play/answer calls function is brilliant. They have an APP that goes with them and I highly recommend that you download it. The app really brings these headphones to life! it allows for custom presets and detailed customizations that I haven't seen on a set of headphones before. Switching between them is easy and effortless. I used them for exercising and they stayed put and didn't fall out that to me spoke volumes! Buy these headphones you will LOVE them!

I was worried that these earbuds would look ugly sticking out of my ear but was surprised when they fit, stayed in during circuit training, and looked good too. The noise cancellation aspect was awesome and the noise cancellation worked good. Noise cancellation is super important so I can study when around my 4 children. They are noisey and these headphones seemed to do well, especially when listening to “brown” or “white” noise. My favorite part of these headphones was the fact that I felt super comfortable with them at the gym, this was probably the most surprising aspect for me. I felt like they were protected, weren’t going anywhere and resisted my sweat good, but more importantly, the ear tips were easy to clean and remove.

Overall, besides a few minor glitches I noticed (which I think they will be resolved by the updates they do), I am like these headphones.

Great sound, small form factor. Liked them better than the MTW2, but wish the ANC was better. Could use wireless charging, but maybe they'll include that on the next gen.

Super clear sound and awesome bass! The fit is still light weight even with smaller ears.

Sennheiser knocked it out of the park with the CX True Wireless. Amazing sound, good bass, equalizer works really well, customizable and accurate touch controls, competent companion app, secure fit provides good noise isolation, fast pairing. For a $130 this should be a no brainer, specially for Android users.

They have awesome sound and the charge lasts all day. The bass is amazing and they fit into your ears perfectly. I would say they are the perfect wireless ear buds.

A little on the chunky side. The extra bass feature could have used some much needed extra punch to make a "WoW" statement, to make an impact. The eq in there app still leaves me with an empty stomach, it remindes me of an early 1980's walk-man. The sound quality and price range are just about right, close to the sound of the Momentum II's. Over all a great addition to my collection. I just might keep coming back. Thumbs up Sennheiser!

I just bought two sets one for me and one for my wife. i absolutley love tehm and they fit my ears perfect and the sound is amazing, my wife likes them but are to big for her ears so i am going to return for maybe a beats ear bud or something smaller. if you dont have small ears you will love them, they are lite weight and feel good in the ear and comes with four different size ear tips.

Excellent value for the sound and size. Good base response, comfortable. Seems better than other higher priced ear buds. Magnetic case is great. Pairing has worked flawlessly. Upgraded over a pair of Jabra Elite 65t and the improvement is noticeable. Highly recommend.

These are a great value for the price. I find them to be very comfortable and the app is easy to use but could be a little more customizable like Sony's app. The sound is also of good quality and they are plenty loud for me. The touches are precise and responsive and the battery life is also fantastic. Overall I'm wuite happy with these Sennheiser buds!

As a side note: Although these don't have ANC, using the tips that provide a good seal will keep a lot of noise out.

Purchased these with the expectation of them not sounding as good as the Momentum 2....I was surprised as they sound VERY good...stay in my ear and with the Sennheiser app to adjust the EQ, this was a GREAT buy!

Sound great. Good battery life. Medium ear cup didn't feel right for me. My only problem is slippery surface. Touch control on ear bubs are very sensitive. when I was trying to adjust ear bub's fitting, I accidently pause the music.

Had the Gear Icon X and then the OG Buds, I got the Pro but had to return it and get this one instead. Good fit and smaller lifhter great sound decent ANC.

I've had my galaxy buds 2 for abt a week and I'm enjoying them. They fit perfectly in my ears and I dont have to constantly adjust them. Coming from the Samsung wired headphones, the sound quality is impressive. The ambient sound and anc features are great. I would definitely recommend these.

It’s awesome! Way better than expected! Super happy!

Good audio. Not bad at all. The AKG wired earphones are still louder though but these are still great

I thought these were supposed to be excellent earbuds but honestly my experience with them arent good at all while they do remaine in your ear sometimes you have the feeling if them falling out and when you push them in they shut off. I have had conversations on the phone and the other party could barely hear me or they just cut off and yes they were charged. At this point i dont know what would be the best ones to get.

Great update and yes update to the whole Galaxy Buds lineup - do they sound as good as the Buds Pro? No! But they are 90% there. The comfort, fitment, features it's there. I'm not worried about the Buds firmware or updates as Samsung is very good at future firmware updates and fixes. Oh, and I set these up on a Galaxy Tab, updated the firmware ... then I connected them to my iPhone 12 Pro as this is what I use. Yes an iOS user who enjoys other earbuds other than the Walled Garden of Apple. I am enjoying these so far and will update after some use with them.

When it comes to true wireless earbuds I've come to the conclusion that you can't have everything. That being said these are still $150. The sound quality is more than serviceable, though I still think the pixel buds sound better. Enjoy good base with well-defined tops and present mids. They're extremely small and light, which is wonderful. Amazingly, the battery lasts for hours even with ANC on. ANC is good and seems to dynamically adjust itself based on your environment. The case is ridiculously compact and fun to fiddle with. You can even connect the buds to a new device without disconnecting the previously connected device, a wonderful luxury.

I knocked a star off because phone calls sound way too loud even when turned down all the way. It seems people with Samsung phones don't have the same issue. It's unfortunate because the microphones are wonderful and everyone says I sound great.

I spent a lot of time researching and reading reviews between the buds 2 and buds pro. I ended up getting the buds 2 because they are smaller and lighter than the pros and being a woman, my ears are small so I figured they would be a better fit. I wanted to get these for my job. Im a dog groomer for corporate and their music choice sucks. These buds are awesome. I wear them for 6-8 hours a day, they stay in place, and they dont hurt my ears at all. I love the option to change from noise cancel to ambient sound so I can hear everything when i need to and shut out everything else when i dont want to hear it. I also lovr the purple because it matches my ear piecing jewelry perfectly. If youre hesitant to buy, you get a 15 day return policy so if they dont work for you, you can return and try a different model.

Rock solid, works really well with Android (ofc), iPhone and my Windows 10 desktop. Would be nice to have mute as one of the touch options (couldn't find it in the app) but not a huge issue. Would just be nice to mute calls in teams on my phone using the touch controls. That's really just nit-picky though. These things are the *first* buds (including apple standard, various jbl/jabra and beats buds) that don't hurt my ears after using it for hours. It doesn't make a solid close so you can still hear outside noises and bass can be a little muted at times but you don't get these kind of buds for the bass.

The biggest selling points of these? Since buying these refurbs about a month or so ago, they've been through a good 25-30 hours of Microsoft Teams meetings on various devices. I love these things and considering purchasing a second pair for my wife.

Pros:

* Perfect fit for my medium-small odd shaped ears

* Stays in despite me moving around or reaching above me.

* Great distance from my phone/tablet/desktop without issues

* Easy to setup and use in Android, iOS/iPadOS & Windows 10 (likley others)

* Qi Charging and USB-C on the case is a great touch

* Touch controls work great for me, just take a little to get used to.

* You can use the left bud, right bud or both buds as needed - so many of the ones I had previously had problems with this (jabra).

Cons:

* No microphone mute feature on the touch controls (unless i'm missing it) - would be nice for meetings

* Don't make a solid ear seal so other noise can bleed in, doesn't bug me though.

* Not ip-rated for waterproof, not recommended for those working out building a huge amount of sweat or dropping in water. Fine by me though.

I was worried about getting earbuds through the Geek Squad Certified program but these came looking brand new and the battery lives up to it's specs. Quite happy with these!

Great service buds. The fitting can be a bit wonky and might take some getting used to. I'm not sure if they wouldn't say in for any vigorous activity but once you get a feel for them you forget they're in. The noise cancelling is only so-so as the speaker design doesn't allow for a snug fit in the ear canal. I would buy again at the return price of $100 but I wouldnt spend more and certainly not the list $160.

At first I was against the design, I mean it looks like a bean but how wrong I was to assume that based off of looks. I did some research and of course found good and bad things but decided to give them a try. What a surprise, while it doesn’t have a gel tip to make a secure fit they still work as if they do have them. I’m blown away by these earbuds and the app makes you to be able to tune the music the way you like. These buds have exceeded all my expectations and then some.

I will say the packaging on these was disgusting, sticky stuff all over the outside, looked like I was buying a item from a ebay seller not a respectable company, with all the stickers and everything on it, it's also covid and these clearly weren't cleaned unless the geek squad agent was eating a bag of lays classic chips. Greasy all over, I considered returning if these don't hold to factory specs. I cleaned them with alcohol upon receipt due to greasyness, I didn't feel good about this purchase and I do a lot of business here normally.

They are nice works ok, , but they dont fit in my ears properly after 10 minutes of use they pop out my ears , the noise canceling , only reduce a little.

l would like tu return then to buy another model if it is possible .

I bought these geek squad refurbished, and was appalled by how much ear wax and what I suspect to be dandruff was all over them when I received them. I would not recommend buying these refurbished.

I like my earbuds however the silicone wing tips that came in my box are to big for my ear and i have a hard time hearing clearly. Im going to order a set from amazon to see if that makes the sound clear for me

I have owned many of ear buds but the features these have out do them all. The way I lost my last pair was I fell asleep with them in and one fell out and the dog chewed it up. Lol not with these they stay put.

In my opinion these are better than the pros only because the design and smaller size, these actually get all up in my ears lol and i dont feel like theyre gonna fall out or that i have to be pushin them in every 5 minutes. And because of the better fitment for me they sound just as good as the pros, if not better. I got these for free with my galaxy flip 3 and im glad i decided to keep them.

Nice to have a pair of wireless ear buds and that they also match my Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G phone is nice(Phantom Silver). Sound is pretty good. I'm listening to The Weekend "Save Your Tears for Another Day" as I type this and the bass is pretty good on the Bass Boost setting. Not earth shaking but comfortable. I was listening to The Tubes "She's a Beauty" before that and I have to say that all the songs are going to give out different bass. I like a lot of bass, I guess from growing up in South Philly in the 80's. But on a stereo or car stereo you can adjust the bass here you can't, you're pretty much given what the ear buds can do and also the quality of the stream and right now I'm streaming from Spotify on the Verizon Network(my carrier for about 20 years). They're pretty comfortable but I still like over the ear headphones better.

Came without box and medium eartips, but considering the price and the fact that they were pretty much brand new, I wasn't bothered much. Works great and I use them everyday. I do miss the interchangeable fin tips, as they kept them in my ears better. Noise cancelling works great, but is slightly less effective than Airpods Pro noise cancelling. Voice detect is an cool and fun feature.

I always buy new when it comes to headphones... should have continued that trend. These buds arrived dead and with missing parts. Wireless charging case did not function properly either. Please do yourself a favor buy it new... packaging was also bad headphones were rattling around in the box. Stay away! Please pay the few extra bucks and buy new. Add the insurance and enjoy.

These earphone came in two days..which is really good! The earphones, of course being refurbished, had removed tips but the all sizes came in the box brand new and unused. So don't freak out just because the tips that normally are already on them are missing....they are in the box. The box was a little worse for wear but nothing too bad..just had obvious signs that it had been open before. Now to what matters...the earphones. They looked pretty much brand new..no scares or scratches, which is important because of the mirror finish on my version. Not even the case had any signs of damage. Finally everything worked like they were suppose to. Had zero problems with the set up or use of the earphones. They sound outstanding..comfortable for my ears, and look amazing. So all is good for me.

I think these ear buds are the best , the sound quality is amazing , comfortable and reliable, battery consumption is incredible it last almost 3 days on a full charge with daily use overall these ones are a totally 5 stars.

Sounds amazing and looks brand new!! Definitly happy with my purchase.

Love these. Have the og buds that still work. These definitely have better sound and features. Before these i purchased sonys best. I cant tell a difference if anything these have more bass. Def recommend. Ive used many brands from 50 to 300 dollars and these to me are the most comfortable and best sounding for the money. The refurbished ones are fine. Ive had mine for months now with no issue.

Good quality and good design. Love the black color and that comfort and security of not falling off
