Bought these as I needed a set of earbuds to connect with my phone, iPad and Nintendo Switch. Certainly do not want to pay €300 for airpods or any over brand name when these are just as good and I would say definitely contend with some of the best out there. I'm not a complete audiophile, so others might not agree, but the sound from these earbuds is perfect for me. Its clear, its loud, I will say that the noise cancelling is not perfect but that's to be expected with their price. But where these lack that ability they make up for in battery life, build quality, compactness and ease of use (including the soundcore app and interface). These also come with 5 different size tips to fit into every ear. Through the app they are customisable. Not just a little bit but a lot. You can change what the tap functions do for each bud, you can build your own sound profile that suits you and customise the effectiveness of the noise cancelling or the transparency mode. Overall a very good product. Would recommend for the average user and more. And at such a low price these really are a bargain.

I have Sony earbuds as my main option but, lost the charging case and needed a replacement short-term, these were surprisingly good. Not QUITE the sound quality of the Sony but, very good nonetheless. They're light, sturdy, last FOREVER with the charging case as well, charges pretty quickly, easy to use, decent depth of sound and bass (heavier tracks can be SLIGHTLY distorted at high volume), functionality of the touch-pads on the earphones are really good and you have further options in-app to change the functions as well. All-in-all, if you want a set of noise cancelling earphones for less than £100, I'd highly recommend .

Excellent earbuds, I can’t believe the quality especially at this price. Great sound and a perfect fit.The charging case is tiny compared to my old Bose earbuds. Ok the noise cancelling is not as good as the Bose but is perfectly acceptable in my option especially at a sixth of the price of the Bose.I certainly do not regret my purchase 5*

Having previously had (and lost) both the original generation and 2nd Generation AirPod pro, I wanted to get something cheaper due to my propensity to lose them.Having used these for a week, I’ve found them to be excellent. The sound quality is great and the noise cancelling effective.In comparing the AirPod pro, the bass might be slightly better on the AirPod pro, the noise cancelling when not listening to anything is also stronger on the AirPod pro, but if you are listening on these headphones at relatively low volume, then the noise cancelling on these headphones is effective.A quick note here on my rating for noise cancellation. I’ve scored a 4 out of 5 as I think that’s the fairest whole number score, but if you’re comparing to the best headphones when not listening to anything then it’s more like a 3. You can’t pop these in and shut out the world to the same extent as more expensive options, but if you’re listening to something at a lowish volume which I think is a more realistic scenario, then it’s effective and deserves a 4 star rating in my mind.The major plus point for me is that they stay in my ear shape better than AirPods. I always had to use ear hooks in combination with the AirPod pro if I wanted to walk around whilst wearing them, which was a faff as they had to be added / removed every time I took them out of their charging case. I think the reason for this better fit for my ear shape is mainly that the tips can be seated deeper in the ear canal to achieve a more secure fit. Also the weight of the earbuds on these headphones is above the ear canal so push down and into the ear canal from above, compared to the AirPods Pro where the weight is below the ear canal and therefore naturally pull slightly downwards and therefore out of the canal. They are comfortable to wear for an extended period of time. I’ve worn for 3 hours so far and remained comfortable.As other reviews say, the lid of the charging case is a bit flimsy, but I can’t see this as a major issue in practice. It seems very secure when closed, so unless you’re planning on giving it to a 2 year old to play with, I can’t see it being an issue.The battery life is excellent. Have used a fair bit this week and the charging case is still showing full 3 bars charged. Haven’t managed to use long enough to get a low battery warning on the earbuds themselves. I’ve only tested for 3 hours continuous use so far, so can’t comment beyond that.I’ve only made one call using these headphones so far, but the sound quality on my end was excellent and the person I was speaking to actually commented on how clear I sounded compared to any other time I’d spoken to them.Overall, I wouldn’t say I’ve practically found my experience of these headphones materially different to using the AirPods Pro which are 3 times the price, and with the better fit for my ear shape, I’m really pleased.
