Review on EBAKIN YH09 Bluetooth Headphones Waterproof by Alicia Hintze

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not the best but good overall value.

It's hard to look at and be critical of a pair of these Bluetooth headphones in this price range. You can't buy much for less than twenty dollars these days. 5-10 years ago it would have been completely incomprehensible to buy a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones for $100 let alone $20. but technology has come a long way. Until now, a pair of these could only be found in James Bond films or at a rock 'n' roll concert. Can they compete with Apple or other more expensive brands in terms of sound and quality? No, they cannot. They don't sound balanced at all. It's a very tinny sound with muddy bass when you put it really deep in your ears. They don't sound sharp, they have almost no soundstage and music doesn't sound as good as if you heard it on Apple, Bose or Beats headphones. However, since they cost between 1/5 and 1/8 the price, it's hard to complain. They seem better than some of the other "regular" headphones in this price range. They come with a case that magnetically holds them in place and also charges the earbuds via the included USB cable. It plugs into your computer's USB port, or you can purchase a plug-in USB adapter to charge from a wall outlet. There's a handy little digital gauge on the case that shows how much charge is left, which is usually found on more expensive models. For that reason alone I would prefer them to a similar generic brand without. The battery life is 4-6 hours. I find more than 2-3 hours. I assume they are testing it at a lower volume than usual. At normal volume I get 2, maybe 3 hours. However, they are a little big and clunky on the ears which can cause fatigue, so I doubt you won't wear them even for 2-3 hours at a time. I only use them for jogging, as running often causes the strings on the headphones I use to stretch or tangle. It's not like this. Although I will say they have higher popping speed when sprinting which is not fun. I feel like I always hold them half to my ear so they don't get lost and half fall out. To be honest, I wasn't expecting such good quality for the price. In my opinion, even with good care, they don't last long and can almost be described as disposable goods due to their low price. After about 3-4 months, when the battery runs out quickly or the technology becomes obsolete, they work. They charge fairly quickly via the AC adapter. less than an hour for a full charge. Anyone looking for inexpensive all-round headphones will certainly not go wrong with these. They are of higher quality than I expected. They are much better made than the other Bluetooth headphones I've ordered. Whether you buy these for running or training, you'll love their comfort. If you're buying for the actual sound, you may be disappointed.
