little uncomfortable

little gripes

gave these

"original review: i gave these a four could have been more i bought these to sleep in bose sleepbuds have been recalled by bose but they do project quite a lot outside the ear others use a seperate bluetooth sound cancelling module so you can not 'sleep' in them as they are too uncomfortable to lie upon i feel this also causes an issue at speed running cycling when they generate a bit of in ear wind noise"

louder sound

most annoying

quality issues

previous earphones

"actually a little bit more my previous earphones were sold under the mpow brand although being shenzhen generics you could have probably seen them under different brands as well and actually had someone sensible do the eq for them when playing music these ones massively over egg the bass making midtones and trebles terrible to middling"

rough handling

"i also worry about the build quality as the wiring looks rather fragile although again as entry level i suppose that’s inevitable but rough handling will i think give them a short life"

miss my lites

much thanks
