Poor
I use the headphones now about 1 year and would definitely not recommend them. Bought as sports headphones, since Around-Ear are awkward / uncomfortable and any headphones slip out of my ears without a bracket, the first impression was quite good. They hold firmly in the ear when jogging, jumping rope, on the punching bag and in any poses in yoga, BUT the sound quality is compared to other true-wireless an imposition. Also, they lose Bluetooth connection at least once with almost every use, sometimes just left OR right, then you have mono enjoyment for a while. Awesome. Additionally, the headphones arbitrarily pause media playback (Spotify, Youtube, Soundcloud) after a few minutes of flawless listening and you have to press play again on your device (smartphone or laptop).
I tested them with different devices (smartphones Android & iOS, as well as Macbook Intel & M1) and the same story everywhere.
Do.Not.Buy.Pro
- Sitting bombproof
- Battery life
Contra
- Connection dropouts
- Even more disconnections
- Operation / touch surface
- Sound quality
- Microphone quality for calls
- ANC poor
Usability super, ANC unusable
I actually bought these earbuds because of the active noise cancelling (ANC). But the ANC works so to speak zero. The effect is absolutely not ascertainable. Therefore, the purchase was a bust. However, the awareness mode works reasonably well.
Pro
- Simple and intuitive app
- Finally a device with a usable user manual
- Interlocutor found phone quality okay
Contra
- ANC effect so to speak zero, not detectable
- Right earpiece always switches to the next mode about 3 seconds before the left (?)
- During 5 minutes of "testing" the battery dropped from 95% to 70% (according to the display)
- Can only connect to 1 device at a time
- Earbuds cannot be turned off without putting them in the case.
Good product
Pro

Unfortunately, both parts must always be taken out of the box and synchronised
All good EXCEPT that both parts have to be removed from the charging/storage box and synchronised so that one can work. I only need the one for my right ear to make contact with the sat nav and want to leave my left ear free for ambient noise. In this case, unfortunately, the left earplug cannot be left in the box but must also be removed and synchronised. Given the price, I would have liked more flexibility in this respect.
