But it goes to show that be careful on budget earphones (or anything) bc sometimes you waste money by trying to save money, only to later on buy the higher end ones bc the cheaper ones were not worth it at all.
Just my 2 cents

They were on sale for $20 plus I got a $10cert so I paid $10
I was hesitant bit I figured I would just give them a shot
Their fit good sound quality is decent on blade signature setting and I haven't had any complaints on phone calls , the touch controls are good but sometimes the double tap is tricky to get to register
Never had a problem with them falling out ,they pass the shake test with flying colors for me ,had to switch to the larger tips even though I have small ears because they are giving me ear fatigue with the medium and small tips
I registered for the free gift ,foam tips
But I still haven't received them .
I have a tiny bag that the case fits into nicely so the open air case design does not bother me at all
I really like it actually
The best you can do is Jabra 65t that pop up on here for $35.
I have problems with them staying in my ear when running, but nonetheless good for working out and doing yard work.
I bought these urlhasbeenblocked based on a SD post suggestion awhile ago and prefer them. They are definitely louder, a bit smaller so they don't fall out. mic is still not good.

guess SD doesn't like me listing the name of the ear buds, must not get any kickbacks. rhymes with "mound feets" -$24
still TU'd the thread as these JLabs are a good deal at this price

Evidently, JLab's Signature earbuds, which i've purchased before, come with little "cush fins" (jlab's name for them) which hold your earbuds on your ear. (if you click the link below, the cush fins are the left-most accessory beside the earbuds in the photo) Well, guess what? They work here too!

So I reused the cush fins on these wireless earbuds and NO. MORE. FALLING! Absolutely awesome ear buds after this. Here is what they look like!

I don't expect anyone to follow this solution since there are plenty of wireless earbuds which don't fall out without any accessory necessary, but I just wanna say that it's possible for Jlab to do it. Also, the cush fins fit into the dock slots so you can keep them and the earbuds together easy.
So that said, as wireless earbuds they're alright. The quality is as average as most cheap earbuds go. I'm no audiophile but the bass is standard for earbuds. You can change the equalizer preset by triple-tapping the right earbud. Bluetooth don't drop out until I was 10ft away from my phone. Often I find it works better when you're far away at a straight line rather than at an angle (less interference?).
The little dock they come with is super tiny with an equally tiny USB charging cable. The cable length is so short, it hangs off my computer like a mountain climber. The earbuds sit in the slots of the dock with magnets, and they won't charge if you put the L earbud in the R earbud's slot so make sure you're putting them in the correct slot or they won't charge.
Here is a photo of the dock with cable extended: https://i.imgur.com/vKa9fkV.jpg
(btw, it's hard to make out from the photo but the dock says "MADE IN P.R.C." which means People's Republic of China. Make of that what you will lol!)
The earbuds connect to my phone immediately after removing them from the dock. Very grab and go. I should mention, if you don't see the white LED on them on, they are NOT connected. Sometimes the earbuds will not turn on after removing them from the dock if they were improperly disconnected from bluetooth during previous use (as in they were forcefully unpaired by the device). Both earbuds have a white LED so make sure it's on. These earbuds can also connect two devices at once,according to the manual, but I never tried it. I have never experienced delay unless I was far from my phone. I suspect people are getting a lot of radio interference wherever they are.
Also I wanted to mention another thing... When I bought these, there is a little paper inside that says "get free foam ear buds or Jlab stickers". I went on Jlab's website and followed the instructions for my free ear foam buds. They never arrived.
They email you immediately after filling the form, saying they received your order, but that was the last i've heard from them. It says
US shipping only. Limit one per customer. Proof of purchase required.
a. the button is non tactile-- normally fine but occasionally it will refuse to work.
b. they auto adjust the volume- havent pinned down the trigger but while im working i always gotta turn my music back up
c. pairing is a pain in the a**, i've discovered the only sure fire way to get these things BOTH connected is to plug into case and remove them.
d. Sometimes they will stutter- I dont know the cause but they will pulse music in intervals. connecting back to case resets this
e. if one of them dies and you want to keep playing with the other one-- it can start stuttering-
I use these when Im in the shop and they've resulted in a ton of lost time- they're shit and thats why I purchased wired earbuds for working.
