First off, the sound quality on these earbuds is impressive for the price. Music streams with clarity, and the bass doesn’t disappoint. I’ve used them during workouts, and they stay snug thanks to the ergonomic design—no constant adjusting mid-squat!

But here’s the catch: calls are a nightmare. Background noise bleeds through like I’m shouting from a construction site. My coworker once asked if I was ‘underwater.’ For music lovers, these are a steal, but if you need reliable call quality, steer clear.

The build feels durable—no fraying wires yet—and the in-line remote is handy for skipping tracks without grabbing my phone. Bonus: the 2-pack means I’ve got a backup when (not if) my dog chews through one.
