Review on Wireless Earbuds - Haylou GT1: Bluetooth 5.0 Sports HD Stereo Touch Control Earphones with IPX5 Waterproof, Fast Connection, Mini Case (30g) & 12H Playtime (Obsidian Black) by Curtis Donjuan

Bottom line (or above): Definitely worth $30, there are some inconveniences but more convenient and practical than several similar versions. They replace my previous true wireless headphones and I'll switch between them and more serious noise canceling headphones depending on the situation. Likes: - Lighter than other products I've tried in the same market - Less contact with the ears than these products, so more comfortable. The sealed, buttonless design offers decent waterproofing in the rain and sweat during your workout (although I haven't had any product failures in the gym with other, perhaps less sealed competitors) - noise-cancelling isn't a feature, but the INSULATION is definitely as good as I have. d expect from similar products. It's hard to mess this up with the sealed design. Wireless performance and battery life seem totally up to date. During the week of testing in the office, I never had to recharge the case, nor did I ever experience a "dead battery" on the headphones themselves. Not exactly a stress test, but if I don't mind at all, that's a good sign. Both earbuds have a control button that makes them easier to use than other products I've tried. - The touch buttons aren't overly sensitive and you can set up the headphones without having to keep shouting commands, as I was concerned that might be an issue. Dislikes: - Sound quality is acceptable, but like other similar products, bass and richness aren't very present. Probably my biggest gripe is that I just wish there was a LITTLE bit more punch. - Touch keys are not SUPER reliable. I find the easiest way to "hit" them is to touch the entire ear with the back of your hand, which is an awkward and less comfortable gesture. I think it's better than hypersensitivity, but it makes reliable control difficult. Play/Pause (One Touch) is the only really useful command. - Touch commands on the left earbud appear to trigger a Bluetooth mode switch or something similar, and the audio pauses for a surprisingly long time - around 5 seconds on the 'previous' command (double tap). This is surprisingly inconvenient and makes you worry that the connection has been lost. The left earbud is MUCH less touch sensitive than the right earbud, or maybe just unreliable which is why the left earbud's commands tend to be rather painful. For example, I can play/pause and jump forward very reliably on the right ear, but I can only jump backwards maybe 1 in 10 times, and if the left ear registers any command at all, it's usually a pause. Which is particularly frustrating due to the inherent skip lag and tendency for audio to drop out for a few seconds. If the "back" command is registered as "pause", as is so often the case, you won't notice it for a long time, which is annoying.
