BUDSBOOM In Ear Headphones Wireless Bluetooth Sports Earbuds with Designer Aluminum Case

Potentially good earphones with two major issues. I can rate them 2.5 to 3 stars based on the units I received.First of all, the construction quality is really good. Buttons, earbuds, cables, eartips - everything is made of very good quality. The aluminium case is another pleasant bonus.Speaking of sound quality, it's good but not great. I felt the bass is weak even after tweaking equalizer on my laptop as well as phone. Audio (especially music) feels little flat as compared to other earphones I tested. Having said that, it doesn't mean it's bad and is surely acceptable for daily use. The volume controls operate individually (independent of source volume) so that's a very good feature. Range is very good. I didn't notice audio breaking while walking away from source unless I went too far. As compared to other earphones I've tested, these have larger bluetooth range.Two major issues these earphones have are battery life and in-ear fit. In-ear fit is not quite good. It keeps falling off the ears even after trying all eartips and earfins. I found mid-sized eartips better fitting than others. It's certainly manageable when you are doing a desk top and not moving around much. They fell off once when I was walking around in office. Battery life is the biggest disappointment. The earphones get fully charged in less than 2 hours (as is the case with most of other earphones) but I got "battery level medium" audio prompt within first half hour of use. I used then for another 40 minutes and I got "battery low" prompt and within few minutes they switched off as battery was completely off. So I could use them for less than 1.5 hours after fully charging them. I'm not sure if the battery issue is by design or if the units I received have this defect.Conclusion - These earphones surely have potential but aforementioned two major issues disappoint you. If they at least had good battery life, they surely deserve 4.5 stars.

They lasted a few days then went insane!Pros:They looked coolUnique designCons:They lasted a few days then began to die rapidlyLost ability to hold a chargeRight side continually making deafening and painful high pitched squealWould no longer turn off unless connected to a charging cableRefused to disconnect from my phoneMissing the case they claim to come withVolume on the left side started getting lower and lower after only one dayConclusiion:No wonder they are no longer available! AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! Waste of time and money, sending them back after only a few days. I was willing to overlook the missing case, who cares about that when you are using them, but the rest of the issues were just too much!

The product just didn't fit my ear correctly. I couldn't get a tight seal using the in-ear stabilizers or the silicone tips. Therefore, the sound wasn't good at all. The stabilizers kept shifting on the budsbooms themselves - there isn't a notch -like on other earbuds - to keep the stabilizers locked in place. Also, I felt that they were larger than the drawing/picture makes them out to be - the drawing makes it look like the entire budsboom is within the plane of the ear, but I found it was much larger than pictured. I ended up returning the product, and getting a great amazon deal on black friday on a much higher-end competitor, which I'm very pleased with.
