Revainrating 2 out of 5

I expected more from a known brand

I'm not a music lover and I only use these headphones to listen to podcasts and audiobooks while exercising, so I can't comment on the sound quality. I bought them on purpose because the case was small, I knew the brand had a good history, and I wanted headphones with physical buttons instead of touch sensors (which I find too sensitive). I had no trouble pairing them with my iPhone 8. However, right from the start the earbuds would occasionally drop connection (maybe 1 every 3 hours), go into Bluetooth pairing mode and then within 5 seconds reconnect to the phone and audio playback resumed. It happened when I wasn't touching her or my phone at all. So I missed maybe 10 seconds of audio playback, which overall I didn't think was bad considering the issues other people have reported. The biggest problem came after I owned them for about 6 weeks: the left earbud stopped charging in the case. I looked closely and the charging contact in the case scratched the gold contact material off a pad on the underside of the earcup. This is clearly a manufacturing defect but Revain's return period has expired so I contacted the manufacturer's support team. This is where I figured buying a well-known brand with a one-year warranty would pay off. Not right! Long story short, over the course of a week I was swapped between 4 different customer service representatives and each time I had to provide the same problem details, photos of the model and serial number from the box and a copy of my confirmation of purchase. In the end they agreed to have it checked at their service center in California, but only if I sent it there at my own expense! And, you guessed it, I had to put a sheet of paper detailing the problem and a printed copy of my sales receipt in the box. So if you decide to purchase, I suggest you return them within the Revain return period. at the first sign of trouble or trouble.

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • Slightly torn

They show like two different things. They don't pair with each other.
