Review
In the box we we get a micro usb cable for charging the case, the case itself, two extra sets of rubber buds and a chinese user manual (no English).
The case is made of plastic, but feels well built and of good quality materials. The matte white colour also looks good and feels nice to touch. It’s also compact enough to put in a pocket.
On the back is the micro USB Connector, and the built-in battery has a capacity of 300 mAh, which provides about 12 hours of music.
The earphones are held in by magnets, and the surface of the inside of the case has a rubbery feeling. It has some friction compared to normal plastic. Actually the bottom part of the earphones have the same type of rubbery material, so when the earphones are in the case there’s less chance of any movement.
They also have a little light to show connectivity and charging status, which is convenient because we can see if they have connected to each other, and to the phone.
On the front we have a touch sensitive area, so no physical buttons here.
A little advice.. Do not underestimate the importance of using the correct size of the rubber buds. The sound WILL be a lot better if you use the correct size for your ears. I think it’s the middle size that came pre-installed, but after switching to one size bigger, the bass and overall sound is much better. They’re easy to swap, and you’ll probably only do it once or twice anyway, so it’s well worth spending the short time it takes to change them.
Call quality is good, as long as there’s not much noise from the surroundings, and there’s sound on both earphones during calls.
The buttons can also be used to answer or reject calls, or to mute the sound.
When you place them back in the case, they will automatically disconnect and start charging, and it takes about 2 hours to charge from empty to full.
In front of the case there’s also a red light while charging the case, and if the battery gets low, this light will start flashing.
We can also control music by using the touch buttons, but it’s a bit limited. We can only pause and play, and it doesn’t matter if you use the left or right one. We cannot switch to the next or previous song though.
Double tapping will open Google Assistant or Siri.
Conclusion
When it comes to sound quality, I was disappointed at first, because of the flat sound with not much bass, but that changed drastically after switching the rubber buds to a bigger set. The overall sound quality is good, and the bass is also good, IF you use the correct rubber buds. It’s not the most powerful bass I have heard, but it’s more than enough. From high to low the sound is also good, there’s absolutely no muffled sound here, so it’s clear and nice all the way from high to low.
They are aslo comfortable to wear, and the build quality fells good. Especially with the rubberised layer on the case and backside of the earphones.
