Full disclosure: I received a pair of these headphones from the manufacturer for review. Regardless, this is my honest review. These are great TWS headphones at this price point. I have several others including Ear Fun Pro Free, Fiil T1 XS, Enacfire E60 and SoundPeats TrueAir2. These are all the most popular buds in the sub $100 range. To my ears, the A8's sound quality is comparable to those. They have good bass for a TWS, good clarity in the upper ranges and an overall balanced, pleasant sound. I felt they were perfect for me from the start. Includes 3 silicone sleeves. The fit is very tight and perfect for training. To me, it also offers good passive noise cancellation. Speaking of noise cancellation, they have active software noise cancellation. They have 3 modes: ANC on, ANC off and transparency mode. The ANC is at least roughly on par with others in this price range. It works well. I just turned them on with ANC enabled in a fairly noisy restaurant with voices and music. I took them off just before writing this sentence, and the difference was significant: It was much quieter with noise-cancelling on. The transparency mode works well and is a very good feature when you need to hear what others are saying or for safety when walking, running or cycling in traffic. The suitcase is small and can be hidden very well in my jeans. The buds are very easy to take out of the sleeve; I've had a few where this was a major annoyance. They are well attached to the case with magnets. They charge via both USB-C and wireless charging, for which they have a lot to say. I haven't tested the battery life, but as advertised it's good. There is an indicator on the case that shows the charging status. Switching between single and dual bud mode is seamless as advertised. Touch controls are complete and include forward and reverse lanes and a voice assistant. I've had occasional inaccurate touches, but I suspect this will subside as I get used to it. On the other hand, the documentation is poor but good enough to get you started. I'm not sure about the IPX rating. The detailed specs on the website say it's IPX8, but I couldn't find anything in the documentation that supports it. If they're really IPX8, that's a good plus. Would have liked a more detailed manual with a specification page. I have yet to find a set of wireless headphones that are close to my old Jawbone badge for blocking out background noise and voices when calling someone in a crowded, noisy environment. They are no better than my other TWS buds in this regard. I do not deduct any points for this, since the manufacturer does not provide any information in this regard. I doubt you'll find a better pair of wireless earbuds for the price they're sold for, which is why I'm happy to give them my 5 star rating.
