> 3 daySo i have 2 pairs of these. See photos. The white pairs with every BT device in my home. The black set will not pair to anything. They charge fine. The 3 lights operate as per usual. They will not pair. I would have thought it was me, but I have a another set to confirm it is the earbuds.

> 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 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.

Greater than one weekThey do not stay in my ears, hangs up calls, not functional. I want to return them because they are horrible.

> 3 dayI am not as familiar with other HTC products but I did recognize the name so I decided to give them a try. After giving them a try, I think this is a solid choice. It has a nice design, and comes in white for those looking for a non-gray/black color option. They are able to cancel out noise immediately, so one sided use might work well most of the time unless you want the surround sound noise cancellation experience. They have decent volume and connect pretty easily. I also like that the battery uses USB type-C. The only con is that there is no button anywhere on the case (that I am aware of)so it makes you feel like you cant troubleshoot or fix any buggy issues. It is seldom buggy but a good charge and replacing of headphones in and out of the case tends to fix any bugs. Overall, it is a solid choice.

> 3 dayThe sound quality is way below from what i expected from htc. Compared to my other cheap non brand earbuds, it doesnt even come close. They also dont stay put in my ears. Very disappointed.

> 3 dayI actually got these a couple months ago and forgot to review them. Oops. My current hobby is to find the bestest best budget (meaning under $50) earbuds available. I dont know if these are the bestest out there, but they are certainly up near the top. However, while they are under $50 on cyber Monday, they are normally close to $70. But they are still really good for the price. Instructions - very basic and most of the English part is concerned with knowing that you didnt get a counterfeit. And some legal info. But the actual two pages (tiny pages in tiny font) seem to be written by an English speaker and are very clear and concise. Pairing - it was easy to pair these. I just got a new phone last week, so I originally had them paired to my old phone. I didnt have to reset anything to pair them to this. I just had to turn the Bluetooth off on my old phone. Case/battery - pretty basic. Its got rounded corners and a matte finish, so it feels nice in the hand. Depending on whether you have ANC on or not, the battery can last around 6 hours on a charge, and the case has about three more charges in it. Controls - pretty good. Play/pause is single tap, which is how it *should* be! Double tap on either bud is next track, and triple tap is last track. Long press will cycle between ANC, ambient, and ANC off. There is no volume control on the buds, but I normally dont need that. The sensitivity is perfect. Latency - none. I prefer to watch videos, and I *hate* it when theres a lag between the video and the voice. I didnt notice any lag at all. Comfort - pretty good. I didnt have to change out the silicon tips, the mediums fit just fine. The seal is amazing, and my ears dont hurt after an hour. Noise Cancelling - extremely good. Youre supposed to be able to switch it off, and the little voice prompt says its changing, but all of them sound like ANC is on. Sound quality - I had to play with the equalizer on my Amazon Music app, but once I did, everything sounded really good. I have a few high end earbuds that sound quite a bit better, but they are also $200+ more. For this price point, the sound quality is really, really, really good. TL;DR: These are great for the $45-$70 price point (sale vs not). Im not sure they are the bestest of the best, but they are certainly really good.

> 3 dayHaving tried true wireless sets before, and being unimpressed, I was a bit skeptical of these. I expected tinny sound, at least mild difficulties connecting, and weak battery life. But given HTCs reputation for solid products, I thought maybe theirs would be better. I was pleasantly surprised in the extreme! Connection was quick and easy, got it on the first try(not always the case with cheaper sets.) The case charges up quickly, as do the buds, and the batteries last at least as long as advertised. Insofar as the sound quality, I was completely satisfied. Now, Im no audiophile. I typically listen to books rather than music. But the sound was clear and full, with none of the tinny tones Id experienced with other sets. Although Im not a huge fan of having stuff in my ears (Ive used a bone conduction set as my main for years now) these buds fit snugly in my ears, were very light, and generally very well-formed. They never got uncomfortable no matter how long I wore them, which is something Ive struggled with even when using quality sets. At only $70, I highly recommend!
