Review on COWON CK20 ANC: Metal White True Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancelling, Premium Sound Quality, and Wireless Charging Support by Chantel Dickinson

I like to review budget headphones (meaning they're under $50), but I've tweaked them a bit. Today they cost $105. Pairing - They mate very easily and stay paired. I've had a couple of times where they drop out for less than a second, but I think it happened after a minute or two after fiddling with the ANC controls. You do it once and then you don't. The instructions are *very* detailed. There are 5 languages - English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese and I think Cyrillic which I think is Russian. I can't vouch for most languages but English seems very understandable. I didn't find any strange translations. There are pictures, tables and text. controls. They use pressable buttons instead of a touchpad, which I like because you know when you're actually pressing it. One click is play/pause as it should be! Double-clicking changes tracks and triple-clicking changes volume. Long press toggles ANC on and off. It all works great. Comfort is a HUGE pair of headphones, but they're pretty comfortable. They come with 4 sets of silicone ear tips, but the ones already installed fit me perfectly. Due to the shape of the earbuds, pushing to press the buttons doesn't get the earbuds further into your ears. Body/Battery - The body is huge, but it's also a 2600mAh battery that you can use to charge your headphones. Phone. And it really works - I have other headphones that say they will, but they won't charge your phone. They work, albeit not very quickly. The buds themselves will last 6-7 hours, and then the case will charge them a million times. Well, closer to 20 times. ANC is good. There's ANC on, off, and transparency mode, and I can't tell the difference between transparency mode and off. But it seems to be working fine. I can't hear the TV when I'm in the same room with him. Lag - There isn't much of a lag between the movement of the mouth and the audibility of voices, although it is noticeable if you concentrate. It's not perfect, but your streaming video doesn't look badly synced. I think gamers will like them. The sound quality is quite good, but not great. The bass is there but not overpowering. Mids and highs are very clear. I don't find the bass loud enough compared to the mids and highs. I like them more for listening to audiobooks and video streaming than listening to music. TL; DR: They're $105 now, and I really don't think they're worth that much. I think they cost more in the $70-$80 range because I have other buds in that range that are just as good as this one. The battery life is amazing and you can actually charge your phone with it despite the body being huge. The sound quality is consistently good and the latency is low. ANC is good.
