Review on Upgraded 2021 Sontinh CoolBuds2 Wireless Earbuds - Stylish Purple Bluetooth Earbuds for Android with Premium Acoustics, Portable Charging Case - 30H Playtime! (Aurora Purple) by Bridgette Johnson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sound quality is ok but I don't like the touch controls

Bought these as a transitional pair until I can find a replacement for my old headphones. I like them, sound quality, connectivity and battery life are ok, not exceptional, they crackle a bit when another Bluetooth audio device is nearby and they don't work all day or so, but ok for my purposes. The biggest issue I had was the adjustment and touch controls. They're completely wireless, which is handy, but they're lightweight, making them easy to slip out of your ear when you move around. This can usually be easily fixed by simply sticking them back in with your finger, but since these earphones are touch sensitive, pushing the earbud back into your ear will ALSO trigger a command to end the call/volume up or down/ to skip to the next song or next podcast episode in your playlist/ turn off the headphones completely, which is super annoying when I'm walking down the street with a bunch of groceries and just trying to quickly fix the headphones so they don't fall out without having to miss the entire second half of my podcast episode or bursting my eardrums with a sudden increase in volume. I think this is a classic case of trying to add extra functionality to a simple product to justify a higher price point. These would be perfectly acceptable $20 wireless headphones with a charging case and no touch controls.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Not bad
