Review on 🎧 Alpatronix HX500 Wireless Earbuds - Waterproof Bluetooth Headphones with TWS Technology, Qi Charging Case, Mic and Black by Heather Hill

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good system, good sound and typical battery life.

Very nice headphones. Good sound quality, good battery life, easy and quick connection to iPhone. The sound quality is quite good, with a good base but not overbearing. Good highs and mids. Overall, the sound is quite balanced and decent. There is no hissing or hissing during soft passages in the music. I had no fallout even with an iPhone about 20 feet away, even with walls in between. Pairing and connecting to the iPhone was quick and easy. Wingtips can be a bit big for small to medium ears. The wingtips are part of a plastic sheet that can be replaced with one without wingtips. I prefer without wings. But with a lot of practice and exercise, the wingtips certainly hold up well in the ear. The kit also includes three different sizes of ear tips to suit different sizes of ear canals. They block out external noise well. The battery life is about 2-3 hours. You store them in a case that also contains a battery. The case is very robust and easy to open. The case has an indicator light that flashes when charging. The number of flashes indicates the charge status of the battery. There is also a light indicator on the headphones. When you put them on the case, the number of flashes shows the battery status, just like the case. If you don't use them for a few weeks, the case and headphones will lose their charge. This is typical of other similar "true" wireless headphones. A five-minute charge provides 30 minutes of playback. The charging time is about an hour. As soon as you take them out of the case, they will be paired with your phone and you will hear "connected". Then the left earpiece shows "left channel" and the right earpiece shows "right channel". That way you know you've put them on correctly. There is a button in the center of each earcup. It's a bit difficult for me to find the exact location. This is a soft rubber area, not a hard plastic. But I often felt like I was pressing in the wrong place. It requires a little more strength from me than I want to push it on. When I press it, I feel it clamp the earpiece in my ear. This prevents me from giving a full 5 star rating. The button can be used to answer the call and play. You can skip to the next track or reject the call by pressing the button twice. Double-clicking it during a call transfers the call back to the phone. Pressing the button three times takes you back to the previous song. Holding it down for a second activates Siri. The description here shows wireless charging but it doesn't charge on my Qi certified charger that charges my iPhone. The documentation doesn't mention wireless charging. The system is covered by a 1 year warranty. If you email Alpatronix in the first few weeks to register them, they promise to extend the warranty to two years.
