Review on Elgin Headphones Cancelling Waterproof Protection by Luis Tuazon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality, reliability and durability make them remarkable!

As a Ruckus Bluetooth owner, I'm excited about the QOL improvements this version of Rumble offers. I've abused Ruckus to the point where I recently ripped an earbud after 2+ years and that's how I stumbled across these gems - because they have INTERCHANGEABLE EARPHONES! They are also interchangeable to suit preferences/occasions. To me, that justifies the higher price, but wait a minute, that's not all. Here's what I like about them: 1. Did I mention interchangeable/replaceable headphones? 2. The sound quality is noticeably cleaner and the bass registers much better, which is probably due to the presence of twice as many speakers in almost the same area (although not twice as expensive, which is a definite plus).3. They hang over your ear, so there is less risk of snagging or slipping when working, bending over, etc.4. Comes with alternate trims for customization/personalization.5. The volume/power button is raised, which makes it easy to turn on and off, adjust the volume, answer calls, etc.6. Durability. Full Disclosure Haven't used them to the same extent as my Ruckus, but they feel familiar and feel a little more durable, if anything.7. noise reduction. I can't express enough how valuable it is to be able to block out noise so you don't crank up the volume of what you're hearing to hear it, protecting your ears. 8. Versatility. I use them for gardening, sports, Zoom meetings, sleeping (sometimes I work nights so I have to sleep during the day and can't even hear my four kids), shooting and making calls with the speakerphone. Battery life! 20 hours between charges, are you kidding? It's incredible.10. The case is pretty plush and big enough to fit in easily. Here's what worries me: 1st prize. I think it's crazy that I'm spending so much money on headphones, but if you look at the field, it's just the world we live in and it's all around. So for me it comes down to what I want for my money? I want quality, reliability, and durability—the Rumble ticks all of those boxes (interchangeable headphones, I mean!) and costs over $20 less than anything else I would consider. Waterproof charging port cover. To be honest I was skeptical about the Ruckus lid too, but it holds up perfectly. This one seems a little less durable and overflows the charging port a bit so I'm worried it'll break eventually, but it's too early to know so I'm willing to admit Elig knows what they do and it will last. 🤞I hope this will be helpful to anyone learning them and for those of us who already have Ruckus this is an easy update. Enjoy!
