Review on Plugfones Liberate 2.0 Bluetooth In-Ear Earplug Earbuds- Noise Reduction Headphones with Mic and Controls (Blue & Yellow) by Micheal Wolf

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not anymore.: Headphones

Update: I have a third pair. The second didn't last as long, but that was my fault. However, this 3rd pair was VERY disappointing! Buttons do not work intermittently. Go to full charge to turn them on and they won't. I don't let anything else pass this pair but water, I tuck it in my shirt when not in use so it doesn't snag on anything. I was wary, the power button just doesn't work like it should. I don't recommend these newer versions as if they don't care about quality anymore. I would look at some other versions but blue and yellow are the most discreet for my workplace. Just disappointed. I've only had this pair for a few months. I know there are lemons every now and then. It happens, but it's obvious that they changed her. When you turned it on there was a voice saying "Power on, battery level ____", this device just says Power on. Not a big deal, but it definitely tells me they did something different this time. I buy them for the second time. I was very happy the first time and it's really my fault that the first pair didn't last long. longer. The first pair lasted a little over a year, which suits me for the price. I will try to take better care of them so they last longer. Where I work we are not allowed to use headphones. But because it can be so loud, they offer ear tips that at first glance look just like the blue and yellow set. They allow me to listen to music or not be distracted by conversations with co-workers I don't have time to talk to alone. Big. The connection is usually pretty strong, the only time it was intermittent was when I'm driving and the battery in my phone or headphones is a little low and the wind just blows the signal away. I can't really measure the noise. cancel until i get back to work or maybe on my motorbike but they seem to handle minor background noise around the house pretty well. The packaging says 29dB, which isn't really much, but where I work, double ear protection is still recommended for some things. I work 12 hour shifts and the first couple lasted from about 6:30am to 5:00pm. If I remembered to turn them off when not listening they would last a lot longer I'm sure. this is bad. But they had a new foam design (smaller) so I can try them. I also cut the sleeve off the silicone so it wraps more around the plastic end and they don't stick out too far from my ears. (I've added photos to show what I'm talking about.) I love that the new ones come with that silicone U-sleeve to keep them from slipping off your neck. There are additional tips, a good hard case and a charging cable.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
