A97 Pro Wireless Earbuds Review: Budget Beast or Just Hype?

Okay, so I’ve been using these A97 Pro earbuds for a solid two weeks now, and here’s the tea ☕.

First off, the rose gold color? *Chef’s kiss*. Not gonna lie, I low-key bought them just for the aesthetic. But surprise—they actually perform! The Bluetooth 5.3 connects faster than my ex moving on (no lag whatsoever), and the auto-pairing when you open the case? *Genius*.

Sound quality slaps harder than my mom’s flip-flop when I misbehaved as a kid. Bass is punchy without drowning out vocals, and calls are crystal clear thanks to those 4 ENC mics. My coworker thought I was in a soundproof booth during our Zoom meeting—joke’s on her, I was at a chaotic coffee shop.

Battery life? I charged these once and forgot what my charging cable looks like. 40 hours total is no joke—they outlasted my motivation to go to the gym. IP7 waterproofing means they survived my accidental laundry mishap (RIP AirPods).

Downsides? The touch controls are… enthusiastic. Skipped three songs trying to adjust volume. Also, if you have elephant ears, YMMV—they fit me snugly but my friend with bigger ears needed adjustments.
