Review on 🎧 Punkcase Punkbuds 2.0 Series: True Wireless Earbuds with Noise Cancelling Mic, Ideal for iPhone and Android, Perfect for Sports, Small and Secure by Roy Cook

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Chic but room for improvement

I've been testing these headphones for almost 4 weeks and have a lot to talk about, pros to cons. I love headphones and earbuds and do a lot of technical reviews on my YouTube and Facebook channel OndaWire. Let's talk about the advantages of these Punkcase Punkbuds True Wireless [2.0 Series]: 1. They fit my ears well. I've added pictures to show how they look in my ears so you can see how far they stick out. I was surprised because they were a slightly different shape and didn't think they would stay in my ears.2. Pairing was very easy. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and sometimes Apple can make it a little tricky to pair non-Apple devices, but they paired as soon as I turned on Bluetooth. I've added an image to show you what you'll see when paired.3. The call quality was very good. I've spoken to many people who have used them and the only time anyone said anything about the call was when I ran outside and they said it sounded windy. Everyone else said they could hear me clearly and very well with no problems.4. I can say that I was able to go to the kitchen and didn't lose the signal, so the Bluetooth 5.0 technology is really good. It's IPX 6, which is really good. IPX6 means they are sweat and splash proof. Let's say a light downpour if you're running outside, but a downpour or whatever might not be ideal. THEY ARE NOT WATERPROOF! Just want to make sure you know this, so don't try to take them underwater in the pool, wear them in the shower. They are very stylish and the body is very small. I could put them right in the change pocket of my jeans.7. The case allows you to charge them several times. It was wonderful. I'm used to keeping things on a charger and I was able to charge them at least 4-5 times before plugging them in. I could probably charge them a few more times, but then again, I'm addicted to leaving things on the charger. lol Cons: 1. They didn't stay in my ears that well when I was exercising. For example, when I lay down to do the bench press, the left one kept falling out. When I tried to jump my feet or touch my toes, they fell out too. I have this problem a lot, so maybe adding hooks or more options for headphone tips would help. 2. There are only 3 extra sets of earbuds. Punkcase, you need to add more earbuds or hooks to give people choice. This prevents people from wanting to return them if they have problems with them not fitting properly or falling out.3. A full charge (as stated in the description) will give you about an hour and a half of music playback. Here's a catch I didn't really like. The louder you turn the music up, the faster the batteries drain, and as the battery starts to drain (after about an hour or so) I noticed a big drop in the distance I could reach using Bluetooth. I wish they lasted longer.4. They don't get loud. I meant it in every way. Since they don't get loud, I had to make them as loud as they could work when exercising or cutting grass. If you want BASS then these headphones are not for you. I tried changing the equalizer to extra bass but that didn't help boost the sound or bass. 6. The description says built-in noise cancellation but it's so hard to tell because I heard outside noise when it was cranked all the way up. When I connected them to my TV (I have a 65" LG) there was a lag. 8. $70 is a bit steep for these particular headphones. sleek design but with the downsides I noticed I couldn't use them as everyday headphones for a number of reasons I listed but these would be great headphones for those who aren't everyday headphones or in-ear users.
