What owners single out
Connectivity issues emerge as the weakest aspect for buyers, mirroring concerns about reliability that video reviewers likely flagged.
In their words
“Love them! Pros: They feel very light in my ears. So light I almost forget I have them in!! The google voice assistant is so awesome The sound is really good, I immediately turned on the "bass boost" in the settings. The case is small and very smooth so felt fine in my pants pocket Bluetooth worked fine on my phone, tablet and laptop. Switching was easy. Cons: I miss the volume controls on the ear”

“These were around £100 and luckily I got them with a discount down to around half price, or the scoring of the review would be a lot less/worse. Fit really well, battery is fine, sound quality is above average....the down side. They disconnect and go silent for 1-2 seconds often and once every few days one of the ear buds will go silent and I need to reset them.”
