I think they'll do (updated)

Bought these for late night chores in the garage so I don't have to use headphones or wake up others to my stereo, they work well for that. The keys don't feel very comfortable, they're kind of soft and they're not that easy to find. It's difficult to turn volume up, turn volume down, or find pause without pressing one of the others. I have several other Treblab products and I've noticed that they can't keep the same function for every key. Sometimes you press the button to increase the volume and hold it to go to the next track, sometimes you need to press the volume up button to go to the next track and hold it to increase the volume . There's something special about these E3s though: press the volume up button to increase the volume and hold the volume down button for the next track. I wish they could just pick a path and stick with it. Another annoying point: if you press the volume up button multiple times and hit the max volume, the voice will say "max volume" but if you press the button too many times it will repeat each time you press the button, and she doesn't pause the music while the voice repeats "max volume" over and over, making it easy to skip 10 seconds of your music. Not the end of the world, just not thought through. They are more than loud enough for me and have decent bass and sound quality. Pairing was a bit of a hassle but it worked in the end, they don't connect very quickly when you turn them on but I haven't had any connection issues after plugging them in. The noise cancellation is not good at all. If that's what you're looking for, look elsewhere. They seal fairly well, so passive noise cancellation is good. I can use them when using a coffee grinder and don't need earbuds. They are quite light and durable, you can use them for training. I have no problem with them falling off or even shifting when I'm under my truck and I can wear them for hours and they cause no discomfort. The battery lasts a long time, I haven't determined how long they'll play just yet, but it's more than enough and the fast charging is quick out of nowhere, plug in a charger and in a couple of minutes they're at 50 percent. The call quality is average, you can use it for calls but have to repeat it a few times. Overall they are perfect for what I use them for because I didn't pay too much and they aren't very good so I don't mind getting grease and dirt on them. *UPDATE* Treblab emailed me after I left the store, regretting that their product didn't meet my expectations and offering me a 50% refund. They also told me that the noise canceling doesn't work without music, which I didn't know. I asked them if they would like me to update my review, they said that would be great and immediately sent me a refund. I didn't ask them to send it to me as I don't know how I feel about reviews buying companies but they sent me a refund and there was nothing I could do. However, there is no arguing about Treblab's excellent customer service. When I bought these E3s it was because Treblab emailed me saying they had a $60 limited time offer as the headphones had just launched. Now I see they have a price of $50. I was expecting the limited time offer price to be cheaper rather than more expensive. I guess it doesn't matter now that they sent me a refund but it's questionable marketing.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not automatic
