Review on Otium Wireless Earbuds Bluetooth 5.0 Headphones: Deep Bass, 3D Stereo Sound, 40H Playtime, IPX7 Waterproof, Built-in Mic - Perfect for Work, Sports, Driving by Jake Pavelko

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good alternative to (much) more expensive headphones

This product was bought as a solution to listen to music while moving around the house without the cable hanging down. I haven't tried them for a workout, so I haven't tested the "waterproof" claim. Pros: Price: You can currently get them for around $20 (I think I paid $27 a few months ago), which is pretty pricey. cheaper than $150 headphones and will likely provide a similar experience. Sound quality: These headphones offer really good sound. You can comfortably listen to music/podcasts at a relatively low volume. Ease of use: Pairing is effortless. These earbuds connect to your device as soon as you take them out of the case and unpair when connected to the case. The controls are easy to learn for the most part and are usually very responsive. Reading the LEDs in the case and the earbuds themselves is very intuitive. Cons: - Battery life is very random: these buds claim to be able to deliver 3-4 hours on a single charge. The best I could get was about 2 hours. After you put them in the case to charge (usually overnight, sometimes days) and use them, the small battery icon next to the Bluetooth icon shows that the battery is sometimes fully charged and sometimes half charged. The worst experience is when one of the kidneys dies before the other (usually the left dies first).

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Many things
