> 3 dayIve been using these connected to a Samsung S10+ for the past several weeks. The build quality is nice. All plastic, but not creaky or cheap to the touch. The buds and case feel sturdy and confident. The case charges via USB-C, which is my preferred connection. Some may gripe about the lack of wireless charging, but for the price they would have to skimp elsewhere to keep the price point and add wireless charging. Theyre such a good cost/value ratio with the current build that that addition would throw things out of whack. Pairing is immediate, once you have them paired and connected for the first time. They pair immediately when you open the case to remove them. Im not the biggest fan of touch sensors, but these do not seem too sensitive in actual use like some of the others Ive tried out. They respond when youd expect them too, but are still a bit on the sensitive side (just not OVERLY sensitive). I prefer physical buttons, but these dont bother me enough to complain. The sound signature is somewhat bass forward, which is a good thing for most people. They sound full and well rounded. High frequencies are not shrill and the bass is present. These are not intended to be studio/reference earbuds and should not be treated as such. There are great for everyday listening. I would call the sound signature Fun and lively (very subjective, I know). Ive not noticed any apparent compression artifacts during use, so the codecs are working as intended, and there is no noticeable audio/video lag when streaming Youtube or Netflix on the phone. That was also surprising and should be commended at this price point. I have mainly used them while doing yardwork and some workouts here and there, with both music and podcasts. For this use-case, I dont think any of the more expensive earbuds out there are worth any more than these. I have an electric lawnmower and the noise cancelation on these is good enough to get proper sound quality for podcasts while mowing, even if the ANC isnt industry leading. Ive found that the fit provides a good enough seal for my physiology that I mostly dont even use ANC unless Im doing something like mowing the lawn. The extra bit of bass response and tightening of the audio spectrum is welcome in that case and the audio quality gains a boost in those situations. If youre in the market for a good enough set of wireless earbuds to replace your consumer level wired earbuds and dont need the best of the best in every category, I dont think you are going to find better performance for the price. These are not going to dethrone industry titans, but these are absolutely good enough for 90% of the population. Highly recommended.

> 3 dayUpdate 04/05/2022 5 months later, these buds start to loose sound suddenly while still connected to my Macbook. I had to turn off and on bluetooth in order to reconnect, MANY times! Thankfully I only paid 46 for these. I am sticking with Apple and Samsung. Update 1/02/2022: 2 months later, I ended up using these HTC buds the most, they are fairly comfortable and sound very good . Connections started to feel slow to establish at times, though. The connection distance became shorter as well. Compare HTC to Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus, Apple AirPods Pro, and Soundpeats Sonic. All paired (and remembered) to 4 devices : MacBook Air M1 , iPad Mini 6, iPhone 12 and Galaxy S10e. Overall Sound Quality (Amazon Music, YouTube Music and Netflix) : 1. Apple 2.Sonic 3. HTC 4. Samsung Mic Quality (voice memos on iPhone 12 ) : 1. Apple 2. Samsung 3. HTC 4.Sonic Bass: 1. Sonic 2. HTC 3. Apple 4. Samsung Ease of Switching Devices (and speed to reconnect): 1. Apple 2. Samsung 3. Sonic 4. HTC Battery life : 1. Samsung 2. Sonic 3. HTC 4. Apple Comfort (long hours): 1. Samsung 2. HTC 3. Apple 4. Sonic Connection Range/Distance: 1. Sonic (very far) 2. Apple 3. Samsung 4. HTC (less than 15 meters)

> 3 dayUsed about a month so far! Better than I expected. Super fit, sound and battery life! Better fit than the apple units I tried. Apple’s wouldn’t stay tight. I will send another review if I have any issues. Delivered on time for my birthday! Fall asleep listening to music. Thanks!

07-11-2024This is a good quality wireless earbuds. I was quite surprised by the quality of sound and music. The bass is very good and I could pick up little nuances in music that I never heard before on my other earbud. The noise cancellation is top notch although it is not something I use much sine I want to be aware of noises around me. People I talk to can hear me clearly and I also hear them crisp and clear. My only peeve although its not the earbud fault is that they dont stay put in my ears. The round part is to big because I have tiny ears and this was my main reason for purchasing, sine some reviews said it fitted small ears. I tried to return but I was getting the run around, so I decided to keep it as it would make a good gift for someone. I will have to search fo something smaller to fit my ear canal.

> 3 dayNoise canceltion works well. Great product for the price. I take the new York city subway to work in the mornings and the earbuds do a good job drowning out the sounds around me.

> 3 dayIt’s taken me a while to get this to where they are comfortable for long term use. I’m not sure I love noise cancelling because I feel like I’m cut off from the world. However, these did pair quickly and easily and the sound is good. Once I got them adjusted to my ears, they stay in and are fairly comfortable. I know I’m not maximizing the benefits by using just one most of the time but it balances my need to be aware of what’s going on around me (and I still get to listen to my tunes or an audiobook - my newest addiction).

> 3 dayBought these as HTC has always made a quality product. However, they wont pair with my android phone. Attempted to return and Amazon wont all me to return them. I will have to take a break from buying from Amazon as they no longer stand behind their merchandise.

> 3 daySo glad this is legit from HTC. The price point and quality are great for me to get into the wireless earbuds! I can also wear it comfortably. Noise isolation is already excellent that ANC mode does not have to be on for daily activities.

Greater than one weekAppearance: These are petite white earbuds with the small protrusion coming out of the bottom - I presume to help hold them in your ears better. They come with a matching charging case - something I find to be extremely useful when you are using ear buds. Assembly: Nothing to assemble here - pull the case with the earbuds out of the manufacturer packaging and throw them in the charger. Once they are fully charged, pair them with your phone and start listening to you music/podcast/movie of your choice. Thoughts: Im a big fan of these ear buds, especially when you consider the big sound coming out for a small price. The value here is great! These have been very comfortable for me, especially for extended listening sessions. Im very happy with these. Overall: Great Value for Nice Ear Buds
