Review on 🎧 Outdoor Tech OT5300 Orcas 2.0 Lightweight Bluetooth Earbuds with Comply Foam Eartips - White by Lisa Frank

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Some issues with comfort, fit and sound.

It was difficult to rate them because I can't understand if they are "good" or I don't like them. I end up somewhere in between. I'm a picky person when it comes to headphones so I guess I personally don't like them. However, they have features that some people prefer. Bluetooth connects easily to my phone and stays paired. They are easy to charge and hold a charge for several hours. For me, the problem is that the tips of the headphones are uncomfortable. I have small ears and need either small rubber tips or soft foam tips. The advice that comes with them is neither, nor. This is a slightly stiff foam which I assume was used to hold the earbuds securely in the ears. For some people, these can be great tips as they help keep the earbuds in your ears while running, jogging, etc. For me, however, this only seems to have caused discomfort in my ears as they don't fit my ears at all. I can't say exactly how long the battery lasts in them as I can't wear them for more than half an hour at a time before having to take them out. The sound quality is also not as good as I expected. This surprised me because in the past I've bought headphones for half the retail price and my music played better than them. So I only use them to listen to radio news programs because the sound sounds okay with them. But to listen to genres like hard rock or blues (my MP3 collection), I'm constantly trying to tweak my phone's audio equalizer to balance the way they play music. Your ears for movement are good. But if you have small ears, you might find that they are just uncomfortable. And given the price, they don't sound the best. You may find a setting in your phone/player to adjust this, but for the price they're sold for it seems like they should work a little better on their own.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
