kurdene Wireless Earbuds Bluetooth 5.3 in Ear Buds Light Weight Headphones,Deep Bass Sound,Built in Mics Headset,Clear Calls Earphones for Sports Workout

After almost 3-1/2 years these are still going, but not strong.Out of the box they sounded good and clear. They charged fairly fast. At about the sound level that the phone warned about hearing loss, the tips wouldn't reject the sound of the lawnmower and hedge clippers. A set of foam tips solved that, but then I couldn't hear traffic on my bike, so these stayed home.Over time, the volume output faded and the clarity vanished to the point where I could not understand a spoken podcast. At first, cleaning helped, but no longer. The drivers seem to be beyond that now.The Bluetooth range was almost annoying in a way. The greedy iPad would steal the connection before my phone if I was within 50-60 feet with just sheetrock walls between us. When connected, I could roam 20 feet away before the actual sound cut out.I didn't find the touch/tap controls very useful or easy to use other than to force them to turn off/on. It was easier to use the microphone with the Google/Siri assistant to adjust volume, start/stop play. And the microphone works as well as you would want as far as I can tell.All in all, a good result for $12

To start this off, the bass doesn't drown the sound quality like other cheap wireless headphones, but it does trade that with treble quality; it's not to the point where it makes it sound bad but it is noticeable. it's pretty robust, over 2 months I dropped it a few times and even though it does have some scratches, it hasn't broken or split apart. battery life is really good, I listen to music for 8 hours a day atleast and I have only needed to charge the earbuds about every other day and to charge the earbuds to full it only takes about 40 minutes. The case I charge about every week. range and bluetooth arent anything too amazing, just works as advertised. overall pretty good for the price.

One of the best quality-price earphones I've bought. I actually thought they wouldn't last at all since their price is low, but I use them daily and I like them a lot. I can use each one individually or both together. Their battery lasts me quite a while, and the carrying case is comfortable and also charges the headphones, so I always have battery, and a light red tells you when you are running out of battery and blue when you have baterry. It's also useful that the charging port is USB-C and compatible with almost all devices; I use them with my iPhone.The bad thing is that they don’t fit very good they're not very comfortable; I feel like if I make a sudden movement, they'll fall out of my ear. And when I take them off, I unintentionally always press the touch button they have. I haven't actually gotten them wet, but I feel like they're not waterproof, although they do withstand daily sweat.The sound is good for their price; I don't expect more either.

I have tried other ear buds, and managed to lose two sets of them. So, when I went looking for another replacement, I didn't want to spend a lot of money in case I lose them again. (So far, so good -- still have them :)I was wary that the sound quality would be lacking in an ear bud purchased for $10, but that turned out not to be the case. The quality of the sound in these is excellent. I'm not what I would call an "audiophile" and these might not be the best for everyone but they're certainly enough for me.The buds themselves are very comfortable and lightweight. They come with several sizes of tips so you can choose the right size for your ear, and switching tips is easy. They last a long time between charges, and recharge pretty quickly.I liked these enough that after purchasing one set for home, I purchased another set for use at work. Highly recommend these ear buds, and especially at this price, you really can't go wrong.

Kurdene S8I was looking for a new pair of wireless earbuds and couldn't look at any on Amazon without being shown an ad for these. They seemed affordable and had a lot of great reviews. Either I received a dud, or these are deceptive.CASEI don't like the case. It's bulky and doesn't really fit in my pockets. It's an odd shape to hold. Rather than a notch to open, this case has a lip. The magnets holding it closed are quite strong - I've had other wireless headphones and what sets this case apart is that between the awkward shape, the odd lip, and the strength of the magnets, I have to grip a bit harder and push a bit harder than I expect to in order to open the case. I'm sure I'd get used to it if I used them more often, but, on the first use, I thought the case was accidently glued shut. if you have any sort of hand mobility/grip strength issues, I would not recommend these.Note: The headphones claim to be IPX8 rated, but the case does not. They also don't recommend submerging in water, whereas Tozo (on their website, not on Amazon) claim their IPX8 rated products can not only be submerged in water, they can also be cleaned with soap! That includes the case. If you're intending to buy headphones to use near a pool, lake, or ocean I do not recommend these.FITAfter I found the tips that fit best, I had the sensation that they were falling out of my ears, though with a nice seal they seemed secure - I tried shaking my head and they were still in my ears - they felt like they were constantly sliding out. With the really thin tips, it felt like it wasn't secure. Even when I rotated them, they were a bit large for my ear and stuck out a bit - I would not recommend for smaller ears.SOUNDThey sound ok. If you want better sound, I'd recommend wired headphones as better sound can be had for about the same amount. As-is they're fine for listening to music, podcasts, etc on the go. I have some wired earbuds that I use for passive noise-cancelling on planes. I otherwise prefer to be aware of my surroundings. Even with a seal, these have no sound isolation whatsoever. Even quiet noises could be heard. Additionally, if I had a seal and walked around in them, they sounded a bit weird, though I think that's just a noise caused by physically blocking my ear canals and not necessarily the headphones themselves.BUG?A single tap on the outer part (button) is supposed to play/pause the music. I tapped once to pause, then once to play. Instead of playing, the earbud I tapped beeped (as seems to happen when tapping/touching the button - I believe it is a noise to let you know your tap/touch registered), then the earbud I didn't tap beeped twice. The music did not resume. I tried again and it worked. That's the sort of bug I experienced 10 or so years ago. There have been so many improvements in technology, I'm surprised this happened within hours of receiving them after they had been charged.THOUGHTSUnless I received duds, I can't see these being good for too many people. Even if you're on a budget, Kurdene's own S9 (which is currently (02/24/2023) available for about $9 if you check the box for 50% off) resolves most of my issues. The case is a more standard size, thin enough to fit in a pocket, opens much easier, buds are smaller and don't need to go far into the ear canal. Sound is a bit better in my opinion. It even has LED indicators to show you how charged the case is. A huge improvement across the board, available for less, from the same company. Yet, when I started looking at new earbuds, the S8s were advertised on every single listing and search. They were pushed hard. With over 60k reviews, the overwhelming majority of people impressed by them, I thought I'd give them a try. Even at under $15, I don't think they're worth keeping as spares and I intend to return.
