I loved them so much that I bought a second spare pair, so I won't be left without them if I lose them! Home, running, everywhere...
Tip: If the announcements accidentally switch from English to Chinese:
1. Turn them off (power off)
2. Turn them on and keep them away from Bluetooth devices (to prevent them from connecting anywhere)
3. Do TWO consecutive clicks with a duty cycle of ~0.2 sec ON and ~0.2 sec OFF - in the middle - on the power button.
Hopefully, they will switch back to English. If not... try again. The timing of the double click is a bit tricky!
One negative aspect (although you don't encounter it regularly because they have great battery life) is that in the last ~hour of operation, before shutting down due to low battery, they announce an annoying "BATTERY LOW" every 30 seconds, driving you crazy!
I give 2 stars for now because although they claim it has a microphone, it does not work with the cable it comes with. It doesn't work when connected to either a mobile phone or a PS4.
Edit 10/01/2023.
I bought a cable for 5 euros (the 4pin 3.5mm DELOCK 90° black 1m, I waited another 10 days) and with this cable, the microphone works! It requires a 4pin cable and NOT the one it comes with in the package!!
Edit 02/03/2023.
For the past 2 months, the built-in microphone has stopped working.
I have had them for 2-3 years. They have never caused me any problems. The battery lasts a very long time and charges very quickly. Very good for their price.
Clear and powerful sound.
Bass quite good.
Connectivity very good and lasts up to 10 meters distance.
Beautiful design that stands out.
Quite lightweight and hardly press on the ears at all.
Excellent quality-price ratio.
(Other companies should take note that sell the same features at up to five times the price...)
Definition of value for money! After a year of use, I can say that these are among the best headphones I have purchased and easily outperform others that are much more expensive!
They didn't last long. At some point either the port broke and they wouldn't charge, or the battery died!
During the two and a half weeks they lasted, they were exemplary!
I bought it and broke it (it fell on the floor and shattered). I bought it again and: 1. The side cover came off. 2. The left speaker stopped working. If anyone knows why this could be happening, please let me know. 3 stars for the price.
Let me start with the positives
1) Good construction. You feel like you're holding something expensive in your hands.
2) The cushions on the head and ears are soft.
3) Their connectivity is immediate and easy with Bluetooth and an additional wired connection to save battery, which is not really needed as the battery still holds after 2.5 weeks of daily use.
and here the positives stop
Now for the negatives.
1) They are quite tight and after a while your ears hurt, especially for those who wear glasses as they press the ears against the glasses' arms.
2) The cable for the wired connection was broken.
3) Their bass is overpowering and combined with the lack of mid frequencies, their sound is unacceptable.
4) Call quality is terrible.
Personally, I wanted them for home use to watch some videos on YouTube and hear the sound in a game without bothering anyone, they are fine for that, for other uses they are not suitable, don't waste your money
I had bought a pair two years ago and they seemed very good for their price. I decided to buy another one now and as soon as I received it, I realized that the volume button doesn't work. I tried to return it, but it says returns are only accepted if the packaging hasn't been opened. How was I supposed to know before opening it that they are defective? Ridiculous. Buying them is a risk
If this is the budget, okay. Otherwise, with ten euros more you go somewhere with a huge difference in sound quality.
I compared them to some cheap crystal audio ones that I would replace and the difference is huge.
Their sound is bass without reason and not very clear. If you want to hear a clean guitar solo, for example, you will be terribly disappointed.
They get three stars because of the low price.
It really worth its money, very good headphones, very good sound, I listen to metal and it captures all the tones, it's what I need, I have it for the gym and I haven't charged it yet for two weeks since I received it... now time will tell about its durability.
I don't know what you're saying, but I have had them for 2 years and now they broke. I dropped them so many times and they didn't get damaged, the sound is great, and everything is fine. They are worth their money and more. A very good product considering their cost.
At this price, they didn't expect to have such quality and sound.
I have had them for 1-2 weeks, and they are excellent for the use I wanted them for.
The only thing left to see is how long they will last.
Yes, I think that after approximately 2 months of use, they are worth the money that was spent. The little one is satisfied.
Second evaluation 01 024
Ultimately, they are very good headphones.
At 10-13 euros, there is nothing better to do your job. Great sound, lightweight, perfect for half an hour before sleeping without disturbing anyone... just what you need. You forget to charge them.. they connect very easily with any android device. Great value for money.
I may have only paid 12 euros, but honestly, I cried. Perhaps the worst purchase I have ever made. The headphones sit on your ears and not around them, so they start to hurt after 5-10 minutes. The cable serves more as a leash, forcing you to be tied to the computer since its length is pitiful. The noise adjustment button never worked, but I wish those were our only problems. I didn't even keep them at home for backup. I simply threw them away.
After two years of use, I lost them on the road while running to catch the bus. I leave this comment in their honor. The best 15€ I have spent on headphones. Nice sound, battery durability for weeks, comfortable. Thank you for two wonderful years.
It is well-made from materials, with the cushion for the head and ears, the sound is good, the bass is good to strong, good value for the money you give, the only drawback is the volume adjustment button, I would recommend not using it, otherwise very good headphones
Amazing for kids and with a card you can insert! update One earphone burned out after three months. It doesn't work at all. You can only hear from one side.
For the money, they are quite good, they have good sound and a cable that is generally quite convenient if they don't have a battery, and they seem to be of better quality than other similar-priced ones. Of course, they are not very comfortable after an hour of use because they press quite a bit, at first it bothered me a bit but now it's much better. Overall, if you have a larger head and ears, it's not a very good choice
I have had them for about seven months, one day one of them stopped working. Generally, after a lot of use, the cushions start to tire you out, they are not for adults, they are for ten-year-olds.
In my product, the single side button for sound reduction does not give the feeling of a click like it does for sound increase. Simply by touching it gently or even accidentally, the volume decreases, meaning it is inaccurate. The plastic smells. The ear cushions, which I wiped with an antiseptic wipe, lost their shine, but not the aforementioned smell. On the plus side, it has a great Bluetooth coverage range and excellent bass!
For their price, they are good, but if you are looking for good sound, I do not recommend them as they have too much bass to the point where the cleanest sound is not audible.
I have them for a week now and I am impressed with the sound and the battery life. I haven't charged them for a week. They are perfect to get, suitable for both children and adults
New review? Well, it's good compared to the ones that cost 45-50 €, they have a cleaner sound, if you listen to them one after the other, you will hear a difference. However, you can listen to music satisfactorily. Overall, they have bass, they have necessary volume, they don't get clogged, they do their job.
Size in the ear, small
I have had them for 3 years. Very good sound. It connects directly to the TV wirelessly. And what amazes me is how long the charging lasts. I charge them once every two months with almost daily use. They are worth their money and more. Bought them for 10 euros.
Good quality, nice sound
Comes with two cables, one for Bluetooth charging and one for listening alone
The Bluetooth cable is a bit strange because when I put it completely into the charger base, it doesn't charge, it needs to be slightly out, I don't know if they just don't fit well with this specific base, to tell you the truth
They are worth it if you have the budget, I believe
After a year of use, I only have good things to say about this headset.
The sound quality is very good, even at full volume it does not distort or clip frequencies. Nice and full bass that has nothing to envy from other, more expensive headsets (despite the fact that we are talking about headphones that cost 13€ and in relation to their price).
But the most important thing for me is the battery life (I forget to charge it) and the 3 different ways of playing music (Bluetooth/MicroSD/3.5mm Jack) that cover all needs (although occasionally the Bluetooth does not connect at first). The Bluetooth range is very good, it can be heard clearly at a distance of 8-10 meters without interruptions or "cut-offs".
I did not encounter any comfort issues, even though I have a big head. The headphone cushions are very soft and effectively isolate external noise, while the fabric seems to be of very good quality and durable (it is not the usual Chinese faux leather that dries out and cracks).
Overall, it is a very good and sturdy headset, and more than just value-for-money (you get more than what you pay for, as the previous reviewers said), and I would definitely buy the same one again with my eyes closed if the ones I already have broke.
P.S.: The microphone only works in Bluetooth connection with the mobile phone or tablet, and in this aspect it falls a little behind (when there is noise around you, the conversation partners cannot hear you very well, but it's okay, we can't have it all!)
I bought these headphones for running. They are very powerful. You don't hear any external sounds at all. The battery lasts for 10 hours, for sure maybe even more. I recently used them in the Athens Marathon and they played comfortably for 4 hours. They take an SD memory card and you can fill it with as many songs as you want. The construction is of higher quality than other Chinese headphones I had in the past. The price is perfect
For their price, they are more than fair. It is exactly what I was looking for everyday use without many demands and high specifications. It is a value for money product and worth every penny. Time will tell about its durability.
