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

Ultralight Outdoor Tech OT5300 Orcas 2.0 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Comply Foam Earpads (Black) are disappointingly middling for the price. Although this will be my first pair of Bluetooth wireless headphones, I currently have several other pairs to compare. Especially the Shure 215, 315 and SE425, as well as the cheaper Denon AH-C120MA studio-quality in-ear headphones with a 1-button smartphone remote control. It's probably unfair to compare Shure's more expensive products to the Outdoor Tech Orcas, but the Denon is certainly a comparison game at a similar price point. additional plastic headphone holder and carrying case. Connecting via Bluetooth on the iPhone 6s was instant and hassle-free. With two headphones you might still be looking for what you need - for me a larger pair fits a little better. They stayed in my ear but didn't really cover my ear canal no matter how long I wore them. Shure offers some tips so you can find the ones you like and choose the one that suits you best. You see, fit, comfort and the ability to seal in the ear all play a key role in sound quality and isolation. The OT Orcas just didn't sound that good with tinny quality when listening to a variety of music including rock, jazz and electronic music. When I manually pressed them into my ear (and held them), the sound quality improved, but not by much. When switching to the (less expensive) Denon, the difference in quality was immediately noticeable with a richer, clearer and wider sound spectrum. Further up the food chain, Shure products, at least the 315 and SE425, as expected, sounded even better than the Denon, along with a better fit. of Shure and Denon products, but the Outdoor Tech Orca's inner core is much larger, so no luck with anything that might improve the sound quality. I didn't find it difficult to remove the earbuds, so previous reviews may have prompted Outdoor Tech to improve the version. Another thing that didn't really excite me was the size and protrusion of these headphones outside of the ear. I'm used to Shure products (particularly the SE425) fitting snugly to my ear with on-ear headphones, which provides a "stay-in-place" quality during exercise and movement, and they somewhat makes more discreet. The size and configuration of the orcas protrude well beyond the ear. Now for the price. Honestly I can't recommend Orcas for the price. This section is very crowded and there are better options, at least for wired ones, that I can personally recommend. With most of these headphones and earphones, the higher the price, the better they sound. Killer whales outdoor tech are out of trend. If they were $25-$30 they would be better, but even then I'd like better.
