Review on Bluetooth Headphones Audiophile Sweatproof Auto Pairing by Eddie Gordon

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A thousand little quibbles that add up to an unfortunate purchase.

INTRODUCTION: I've been looking for TWS headphones for a long time as I got tired of untangling and fumbling with the cables on my current IEMs several times a day. They sound good enough for my use of mainly podcasts when I'm on the go and music when I'm studying, but most importantly they're comfortable and about 7-8/10 isolating. I have a $50 pair, a $100 pair and these so far (there will be reviews on all of them). Looking for the above comfort, good isolation and a sound that doesn't noticeably offend. SOUND: It sounded a little distant and anemic. The bass had some punch, but I didn't notice more in my short trial period. Never heard of this company. Speaking of sound, when you turn it on, the voice speaking to you was very loud. The volume at which you want to rip your ear cups out of your ears to prevent premature hearing loss. FIT/TIGHT: I used my own single or triple flanged earbuds. Triple flanges offer better insulation but are a bit cumbersome. The fit was very snug and comfortable and seemed to keep out a lot of noise. Probably my favorite part about these headphones. The "wing tip" wasn't removable and it didn't even remotely feel like it would fit where it was supposed to. APPEARANCE: Big and bulky, I was hoping I'd be more into the cool textured look on the outside, but it wasn't all that special to me. It was sticking out of my ears a little. CALLS: I made a test call and it sounded pretty much as you would expect. I was a little noisy with my friend and a little echo. Don't expect much from something that tries to pick up your voice by sitting in your ear. It won't sound that great and there will be a lot of background noise. BUTTON: I appreciated all the features they were trying to cram in, but the button placement and performance just wasn't there. First off, the button layout means you're pressing on your ear, which is a little awkward. Also, I have to press harder than I want the button to work. One press was play/pause, which worked well with a slight delay. Skip/Previous Track also worked relatively well, but the volume was a bit odd. The first few times I tried turning it down it didn't go down (think it was either a double or triple click), and when it finally did it lowered the headphones' "internal volume" and made the voice so greetings and much more. not so loud. Later when I adjusted the volume again he started adjusting the volume on my phone. I think it has something to do with whether you play something or not. (not quite sure) CHARGER HOUSING/BATTERY: Haven't kept it long enough to even know. The case was difficult to open each time, but at least there was some indication of the case's relative strain. VERDICT: I won't go because of all the little things. To be honest they weren't worth it compared to the $100 pair I bought before (you can see the rating in my profile). From the metrics I have for selecting a new wireless earbud (Isolation/Comfort > Sound), it only showed Isolation.

Pros
  • Very Good Price
Cons
  • Unbelievable Price
