"i wasn’t overly optimistic as the ear hooks aren’t adjustable so i thought i’d yet again wasted my money"

"shame as there is nothing wrong with them really sound isnt great but when your hitting a max heart rate and on the limits of your strength you dont really care about sound quality"

"this whole thing takes a while before you figure out that it isn't user error or the fault of the other device you're trying to connect to"

"after 2hrs of use the skip button on the device stopped working"

"otherwise connection issues aside it's worth it overall i'd say"

"previous ~after 2 months of light use the right bud has weaker sound i can only hear music with the left bud i thought it was a good product but i dont see it lasting for long maybe i had a defect i dont know but it was very sudden after a track i just lost sound from the right speaker and now are unusable"

"my only problem is the design of the headphones"

"with these there’s little chance of losing them"

"after a while it gets extremely irritating and i'm forever pulling the cable lose"

"things went from bad to worse when i realised the sound had far too much low frequency bass and was both distracting and annoying"

"they will fall off again as the glue gun cannot re attach them fully and it was a big hassle"

"it's amazing the difference i personally found between the default large silicon buds sounded horribly tinny and the smallest too much bass and the medium buds ah perfect!"

"however in exchange for extremely loud bass comes the downside"

"have concerns over quality control and whilst cheap no good if only last a few months or try to burn your house down"

"typically i hate earbuds as i have awkward sized ears but the memory foam tips and wings are a game changer!"

"save your money truly awfully designed product"

"this seriously annoyed me whilst running so on that basis i can’t really recommend them"

"it is very bulky for my face ears and the over ear piece does not sit properly and a bit uncomfortable"

"one downside to these is the noice cancellation isn’t the best but it’s nowhere near the worst"

"i use my earpods the wired ones daily and they've been going for just over 2 years now with no signs of impending death"

"also it's noticeable that in the product handbook they don't mention noise cancellation at all as there's no control to enable disable it maybe because it doesn't exist at all"

"these earphones sound terrible"

"it's a crap product wrapped in nice packaging"

"if you want a cheap basic headphone buy this and you not will be disapointed if you fussy buy similar for hundreds euros not sure you will get more out"

"these are completely useless they are bulky and cumbersome and didn’t stay in my ears when i was sitting still much less running which is what i wanted them for"

"they do have a very frustrating flaw"

"the earphones don’t sit on my ears well making them fairly uncomfortable"

"start with the price so cheap"

"the gold on the side of the ear buds looks very cheap too"

"i have the most awkward ears in the world and up to now have spent a lot of money over the years on earbuds that claim to ‘fit any ear’ with the result being that they always fall out within 10 seconds of me wobbling my head!"

"however they gave a low power warning and powered down within 30 minutes"

"sound and outside noise exclusion seems no different to the other more expensive ones i tried"

"a bonus is that i don’t annoy other people as they appear to not have noise leakage"

"after a while it gets extremely irritating and i'm forever pulling the cable lose"

"i understand they're fairly cheap and i guess you get what you pay for but the sound is very muffled unclear and shallow"

"in fact pants are useful they were rubbish"

"used for running and did not fall out once"

"the sound sometimes seems a bit bass heavy lacking vocal and treble range however i can't be sure if this is the watch or not and the lack of equaliser within spotify"

"it takes a little bit to finagle if you aren't super tech savvy i realize that sounds ridiculous because it's just headphones but i struggled a little"

"dislikes: complete failure after 10 months stopped during a workout and now can't get them to switch on even after a day of attempted charging no light "

"for the price and if you need a decent pair you don't mind throwing away these will do just fine"

"after so many exchanges and delay tactics"

"i haven't encountered any issues cutting out and they connect really fast so i really don't have much to complain about"

"despite the fact that the headphones just don’t fit my ears mpow are sending me another set free of charge with a different fitting to see if that fixes the problem i can tell you that there are much bigger companies with more expensive headphones who wouldn’t bother to go to these lengths to ensure customer satisfaction so it’s a real credit to mpow that they are willing to do this for me"

"they were very stiff and didn't stay in my ears so i was reluctant to buy but i am glad i did"

"not a single issue"

"i have another pair of bluetooth earbuds that have an inline control battery makes them useless when doing physical activities as the momentum weight pulls them out of my ears"

"on off button sticky and temperamental"

"on the other hand in my case the sound stutters sometimes even with my phone that's connected within 1 feet of my face"

"they’re highly uncomfortable though"

"would be better if battery low warning was an hour before it died"

"unfortunately the connecting earpiece cable sticks to a sweaty neck so then if you turn your head the earpiece to the other side gets pulled due to the cable not moving but being stuck"

"this allows the headphone to sink in deeper into your ear and provide the deeper bass and noise isolation"

"if it is bluetooth that's causing the problem then wired earphones are far better for a full range of sound"

"the cable wire is quite stiff so it won't flop about and get in the way"

"let me clarify that last statement it isn't clear when thes earbuds need to be recharged because the battery management system is massively inaccurate"

"all in all pretty poor"

"usually these difficulties arise because the instructions are not clear"

"my only gripe is the wire connecting them it’s awkward & not too long that you can hide it but not too short that it’s wrapped around your neck"

"don't bother wasting silly money on branded rubbish these will not disappoint!"

"this style of product is not suited to me as it keeps falling out my ears all permutation of sizes tested "

"i bought these as i listen to my own tunes in the gym and my old headsets always fell out or they were to bulky and got tangled up with the weight bars"

"if you don't have petite ears and don't mind having limited buttons that takes just a little bit longer to figure out then these are for you they are slick and do the job"

"and as a bonus if fitted well these cancel the majority of background noise able to take phone calls connects to pc cons: i’ve got really tiny ears so i look ridiculous wearing these!"

"unfortunately though this is as good as it gets for these headphones the sound quality gets distorted when turned up the battery life is poor"

"however if you plan to use them outdoors do not waste your time the wind noise is so severe very poorly designed in this regard"

"the two faulty sets have issues with volume control now working on the headphones and the bluetooth connectivity dropping so anything being streamed is interrupted"

"despite it's in the description of the product here and in the back of the box of the product misspelled as "advanced noisy cancellation" btw they do not have noise cancellation at all"

"great headphones"

"the headphones ability to produce bass is not what i'd call adequate for modern music but barring that the quality is passable for a pair of £20 sports headphones but i won't be replacing my daily non sports headphones anytime soon"

"i have purchased loads of different earphones over the last couple of years trying to find ones that fit my awkward shaped ears & that don’t fall out so that i’m not constantly trying to put them back in as i’m walking along"

"my only main gripe with them is you need to male sure you turn them off when finished because they don't automatically turn off after a certain amount of time"

"the standard earbuds are ok but not that comfy so wanted to use foam ones that are added turns out they are absolutely massive and won't fit in my ear!"

"i seem to have no luck with earphones and always have to replace them"

"would not go to the gym without them!"

"everything was great until the on off button managed to get damaged whilst in gym bag"

"however mine died while charging overnight and refused to turn on"

"they simply died anyway"

"because of this i wasn't interested in spending too much money and the mpow earphones fit the bill perfectly"

"there is one big drawback i have found with it and it's that when the battery reaches 30% theres a warning verbal continuously which really interrupts what you are doing"

"this should be a triple click to avoid this happening"

"on my mtb under my helmet these are the best headphones around the ear i've had because they look chunky but they really aren't fit perfectly in the air gaps so was mega pleased with that"

"i have a lot of spare buds lying around so managed to find a good fit"

"the only negative for me is that despite the ear loops once wet through sweat rain they don't feel secure in my ears and i need to resort to wearing a headband to keep them secure"

"other models seem to have the same internals i'm guessing so will they be any better?"

"it’s barely noticeable though and i couldn’t care less about it just trying to write a balanced review"

"these have been great never fall out in rain while i'm on bike or in the gym etc"

"my issue is as happened today the indication was 70% charge"

"i would have got another pair but i’m two weeks past the possible return date and can no longer contact the seller"

"even when not exercising and have the device right next to the headphones the audio still suffers"

"below average at best"

"in any case to fail so quickly is not a good sign and it seems that the electronics inside is on a cheap side"

"the only slight issue have is that the right bud does not fit into my ear canal quite enough to get the best sound quality so i am experimenting with the different pads supplied"

"a shame as they’re some of the best earphones i’ve purchased"

"with these there’s little chance of losing them"

"the volume control is pretty terrible they have made it dual purpose so the same button also skips ahead or back"

"the volume control is pretty terrible they have made it dual purpose so the same button also skips ahead or back"

"i paid a stupid price for a popular brand and it was money down the drain"

"for me these wouldn’t have worked in the gym as the wire would have annoyed me"

"4 easy music track navigation with buttons again no fumbling around looking for buttons or touching phone"

"also came with a little booklet which was easy to comprehend and set it all up with ease"

"i'll be keeping these little twats as they're perfect for the gym"

"i cycle wearing these gloves and also wear gloves"

"got these earphones as a replace for my bose over ear headphones which were £160"

"charged them up paired them to the phone a doddle switched the buds for the smallest size and gave them a go"

"however if you plan to use them outdoors do not waste your time the wind noise is so severe very poorly designed in this regard"

"my headphones nomlonger charge ive used different chargers and plugs but the problem is the headphones aren't receiving charge"

"this is my second pair since i lost the first one"

"didn't hold there charge very long and after a few uses they could no longer hold more than 30 seconds of charge even after being charged for hours and no longer work after only a few uses"

"but again for the money you pay for it you can't really complain i suppose"

"im not a serious runner so probably have used then for 20 mins max on the treadmill at a range of speeds"

"if you have problems it will be a hassle to get your money back"

"a bonus is that i don’t annoy other people as they appear to not have noise leakage"

"very poor service for otherwise a good set of headphones"

"if you don't have perfect sound reproduction you've got the wrong size buds fitted"

"i like the design of the headphone i’ve got small ear canals so i find ear buds a challenge to keep in but these headphone wrap around your ear and hold the headphones in place"

"the volume buttons are the wrong way round for my brain but that's my problem really"

"my main downside was that they have this little annoying flashing light on the side of one of the headphones that i have had to put a plaster over so when i use them i can’t see the flashing in my peripheral vision and so they do not disturb me at night"

"well i have had these headphones for four months and one ear has broken with no sound"

"in any case to fail so quickly is not a good sign and it seems that the electronics inside is on a cheap side"

"it's amazing the difference i personally found between the default large silicon buds sounded horribly tinny and the smallest too much bass and the medium buds ah perfect!"

"these headphones were bought because i needed some for my fitness and i didn’t want to lose my airpods i can happily say i’ve stopped using my airpods and i always use these now as the sound quality is just as good with better bass and loudness definelyy recommend!"

"so image you're going through a hard workout and you headphones just die on you!"

"this will drain the power of course"

"the rest isn't difficult to work out"

"i can't justify spending on expensive earphones because i have a worrying propensity for losing them"

"the ear buds are awkward to seat correctly in your ear and are not the most comfortable to wear"

"sent back to amazon for a full refund most disappointed"

"they are fairly comfortable and the sound quality is reasonable for the price however my biggest bugbear is that the battery life is awful!"

"i'm very disappointed as these pale in comparison to my older mpow earphones"

"the hooked part just kind of hangs off my ear phone call quality is rather poor and you’re not able to accept a call you’ll need to decline the call"

"i purchased these nearly a year ago as i have a tendency to break headphones etc so i wanted a nice cheap pair for cycling to work gym etc and if anything happens i'm not losing a ton of money"

"it takes a little bit to finagle if you aren't super tech savvy i realize that sounds ridiculous because it's just headphones but i struggled a little"

"i received these headphones today to replace my old mpow coach which broke due to water damage"

"so it’s more annoying that having a wired pair of headphones"

"battery seemed to drain even if switched off"

"despite the fact that the headphones just don’t fit my ears mpow are sending me another set free of charge with a different fitting to see if that fixes the problem i can tell you that there are much bigger companies with more expensive headphones who wouldn’t bother to go to these lengths to ensure customer satisfaction so it’s a real credit to mpow that they are willing to do this for me"

"hurts the ears for some reason but i guess that’s normal because of bluetooth waves"

"the sound quality is quite poor in comparison and i spend more time adjusting them when i get sweaty as they just aren’t secure enough"

"in fact it was hard to hear them anywhere slightly loud"

"shame as i’ve owned other mpow products with no issues whatsoever but was disappointed in these"

"would be better if battery low warning was an hour before it died"

"but this is a serious concern"

"i realy was looking forwaed for using these and bought these headfones after checking alot of reviews and as i started going gym again product says 9h battery time but trust me it has not lasted more than 2 hrs in the first week and now the battery goes low and shuts off after 1hr or max 1"

"now the audio quality is fairly bad not as bad as you'd expect for ~£20 but still pretty bad"

"unfortunately they have just died"

"one day they're fine then the next they just die"

"would’ve liked longer but the connecting wire seem to be broken and the sound drops out"

"decent headphones when you can use them but the battery life was awful"

"design and packaging good just a shame they’ve sound no good"

"i own a couple of headphones with real noise cancellation and when i am in the office i just enable it and they just kill the constant murmur from the heating system"

"dislikes: complete failure after 10 months stopped during a workout and now can't get them to switch on even after a day of attempted charging no light "

"sadly i have discarded the box so cannot return the product"

"i must say for an unknown brand the sound quality is pretty good and they are great noise cancelling earphones"

"because of this i wasn't interested in spending too much money and the mpow earphones fit the bill perfectly"

"i’ve been desperate for some wireless earphones but didn’t want to spend much because i’m waiting for the new bose earphones to come out next year"

"ignoring cost i would say all aspects such as sound comfort and durability are above average"

"i don’t understand why it’s so low my previous over ear sony bluetooth legitimately had 24 hours plus battery life and the only reason i don’t use those is because they’re too loose for sport"

"the button placement for forward and backward track skipping and volume up and down should be the opposite way round but this is easy to get used to"

"at this price any complaints would be unjustified"

"for the price you can't expect much however the sound quality is really poor"

"the sound sometimes seems a bit bass heavy lacking vocal and treble range however i can't be sure if this is the watch or not and the lack of equaliser within spotify"

"don't know about sound control or noise cancellation bought for a christmas present but will say its beautifully packaged and comes with it's own case holder bought as a couple people i know bought it and they say its brilliant"

"it's just that when it does drop to 40% it will keep interrupting your sound to remind you there's a low battery"

"typically i hate earbuds as i have awkward sized ears but the memory foam tips and wings are a game changer!"

"these are pretty good headphones & i used them for around a month or a month & a half maybe then today after the gym i put them onto charge using the charger cable that they came with & they caught fire now i know they’re call mpow flame but i wasn’t expecting them to actually catch fire"

"not sure if i got a bad pair though"

"i would prefer getting these in a simple plastic bag rather than getting all the nice looking packaging and the product itself being poor"

"bad for make call mic is bad but if you only need for run than is good"

"design and packaging good just a shame they’ve sound no good"

"waste of time and money"

"however i find that the audio keeps skipping jumping and subsequently dropping out meaning my music is choppy and just isn't worth listening to"

"they are much louder"

"however i suspect improving this would lead to an increase in the costs of making the product which will eventually be reflected in the price the consumer pays and 2 the volume control is not the easiest to operate in that it is not very intuitive but it most certainly is not problem enough for me to criticise the product"

"no active noise cancelling"

"my biggest complaint so far is that the beeping for low battery tends to happen about 15 minutes before they die"

"these are not perfect they do still fall out when i'm doing high impact exercise but nowhere near as often as my previous ones have"

"the standard earbuds are ok but not that comfy so wanted to use foam ones that are added turns out they are absolutely massive and won't fit in my ear!"

"running i find am alot sweater and they try and un seat in my ears but get past that i changed the buds to slightly larger for running and had no issues so sweat bit less you'll be more than fine"

"was concerned at this price these might not be great but i was proved very wrong"

"only issue is for more vigorous activity the headphones sometimes come away from the ear which is slightly irritating"

"i’ve been desperate for some wireless earphones but didn’t want to spend much because i’m waiting for the new bose earphones to come out next year"

"my main downside was that they have this little annoying flashing light on the side of one of the headphones that i have had to put a plaster over so when i use them i can’t see the flashing in my peripheral vision and so they do not disturb me at night"

"🤔 these are unusable"

"i first thought that it was because of the bad design of having the on off button on the side and can easily be switched off in my bag so i used the chunky case they came with"

"there is almost no noise cancellation and on the tube i have to keep changing the volume which is annoying"

"in any case to fail so quickly is not a good sign and it seems that the electronics inside is on a cheap side"

"i don't really leave reviews that often but about an hour ago in work the fire alarm went off"

"dislikes: complete failure after 10 months stopped during a workout and now can't get them to switch on even after a day of attempted charging no light "

"i realy was looking forwaed for using these and bought these headfones after checking alot of reviews and as i started going gym again product says 9h battery time but trust me it has not lasted more than 2 hrs in the first week and now the battery goes low and shuts off after 1hr or max 1"

"biggest downside is that when the battery is low you have maybe 10 minutes left before it dies"

"the battery life is good but when it dies"

"after using these headphones after a few weeks i can honestly say they are not worth it!"

"i would have no hesitation in recommending them"

"which can be annoying"

"the volume control is a little fiddly but not a major issue and the skip track function is a bit clunky"

"will be returning asap"

"but now they are flat and the battery will not charge i have also missed the returns deadline by a few days so i'm not happy because now not only am i throwing £20 in the bin but i am left with no headphones!"

"magnetisation would help them not fly around when both are removed and sitting around your neck"

"went jogging a few times with it and it sometimes just started slipping off and i had to keep fitting it back in while jogging which is quite annoying"

"wire too long and uncomfortable on the neck"

"as they are for me useless for running"

"however mine died while charging overnight and refused to turn on"

"i’m still getting it wrong!"

"they are great headphones but aren't so good underground on the train unless you put the volume on full and blast the music loudly which than it will cancel all noise but make you feel like your going deaf"

"doesn't fast charge but when you use probably best to top it up"

"update:since my first review have to change for one of the best for long runnig im traning for marathon do long tranings great battery life and very comforable for long hours"

"they are fairly comfortable and the sound quality is reasonable for the price however my biggest bugbear is that the battery life is awful!"

"before i went away i noticed that not using the headphones for only a day with over 50% battery life would leave me with a useless pair of headphones for the gym that were flat"

"they hurt the inner ear and ear canal if you push them in too far if you don’t push them in far enough you get an awful tinny sound"

"only downsize for me is that when you're in the treadmill its a pain because the cable keeps sliding down which means i have to re adjust it quite a lot"

"clearly this indication is wrong or they are powering down while still significantly charged"

"my biggest complaint so far is that the beeping for low battery tends to happen about 15 minutes before they die"

"so i recently upgraded my phone to one with no earphone jack and the lightning adaptor wouldn’t take my trusty old earphones and the ones supplied with the phone fall out so no joy there although my daughter is happy with her new free pair "

"misleading advertising hence the 3 stars headset itself is pretty much identical to my previous set and sounds ok"

"the control box on each one just makes them heavier than they need to be and causes them to fall out"

"this is my first pair of bluetooth headphones and i'll never go back to wired!"

"without i've not really much exp using them without the eq on but it's just less bass"

"these are good but i have a couple of issues"

"i followed the instructions to the letter yet it still took 40mins and several attempts before this product successfully paired with my phone"

"using them for running diy and calls in general"

"also the brackets that go around your ears aren’t adjustable nothing on them are so for my ears they sit a little too high"

"i paid a stupid price for a popular brand and it was money down the drain"

"i bought these as a replacement for a pair i lost"

"not being a techy it was a bit of a fiddle for me to bind it with alexa but i managed with some reassurance from an online video"

"cheap & cheerfull fully water proof i have taken these on a run in the hammering rain still work no shocks and if the did break due to water damage i'm not going to complain i'm just going to buy another pair :"

"so i spent more more than i should and the other company lost a sale"

"this is a bloody shame cos they would easily have been a 5 star item had they dealt with this issue at development"

"the only problem is the on off bottom as i haven’t worked out a way not the hurt my ear when pressing it guess you have to be used to it would like it to be slithery smaller as well"

"i wanted these to replace cabled iphone headphones but cannot get along with these"

"i found them to sound far too muddy 100 200hz being very prominent and a huge lack of frequencies from 8khz onwards"

"ive had many pairs of bluetooth wireless headphones that have not came close tho these mpow ones these are the cheapest ones i have but cheap does not mean poor quality im very surprised how much quality is packed into these no connection issues sound quality is good great and they are comfy"

"so i spent more more than i should and the other company lost a sale"

"the hooked part just kind of hangs off my ear phone call quality is rather poor and you’re not able to accept a call you’ll need to decline the call"

"things went from bad to worse when i realised the sound had far too much low frequency bass and was both distracting and annoying"

"updatenov 2019: after leaving this review i was contacted by mpow customer service offering to send out a new pair to replace the broken ones!"

"the only reason i don't return them is because it isn't worth the hassle for their price"

"maybe separate buttons on the other ear piece would have been a better idea than to have to hold down for a few seconds every time you want to skip a track skipping backwards more than one track is a bit of an ordeal but i guess normally you wont need to do this"

"the previous pair lasted just over a year before needing to be replaced"

"the skip button is hard to find with big gloves on"

"i have the most awkward ears in the world and up to now have spent a lot of money over the years on earbuds that claim to ‘fit any ear’ with the result being that they always fall out within 10 seconds of me wobbling my head!"

"my main downside was that they have this little annoying flashing light on the side of one of the headphones that i have had to put a plaster over so when i use them i can’t see the flashing in my peripheral vision and so they do not disturb me at night"

"battery life felt short about 4 5 hrs"

"imagine my surprise when the box itself says the running time is only 7 hours"

"so it came as no surprise when i lost them yet again this week"

"however it did not last long"

"after second or third recharge the sound on one ear has almost stopped"

"i finally admitted defeat and wore over the ear earphones for years which were okay but not ideal for running"

"i usually wouldn’t order them but having walked and run with them a couple of times i don’t mind it and can barely notice it"

"i'm not usually one for this type of earphone i prefer earbuds like iphone ones i could never really get comfortable with the other type but these actually fit really well"

"not for small ears"

"it will connect to bluetooth for a few short minutes and then disconnect which is really disturbing when listening to music"

"what's especially annoying is that it starts to fall even more when i pick up my running pace which encourages me to slow down to keep it in place"

"i'm afraid they are going to fall off"

"microphone is horrible"

"the earphones do not feel comfortable when worn due to the weight of the ear pieces and the mic is very poor for calls"

"it was frustrating i wanted bluetooth headphones but didn't know which"

"i am yet to test in that capacity but cannot foresee any issues because they have a flush fit and are not too bulky"

"was a bit fiddly to get them to sit right but didn't take long"

"one downside to these is the noice cancellation isn’t the best but it’s nowhere near the worst"

"it's not a base machine but for the price it's more than loud enough"

"but now they are flat and the battery will not charge i have also missed the returns deadline by a few days so i'm not happy because now not only am i throwing £20 in the bin but i am left with no headphones!"

"after having attempted 5 runs with these headphones i've found them to not be exactly usable"

"i don't usually write reviews"

"if you don't have petite ears and don't mind having limited buttons that takes just a little bit longer to figure out then these are for you they are slick and do the job"

"i've used them to connect to my iphone my apple watch my ipad and even tv"

"your headset is connected beep your headset is not connected beep your headset is connected beep your headset is not connected beep your headset is connected beep your headset is not connected beep"

"light use generally not everyday for hours"

"wanted a cheap set off headphones for the gym and running i wasn't expecting too much from thee at the price they were but i was totally taken back by the sound quality!"

"packaging 10 10 came with a case & accessories sound very loud bassy no fault on the sound however haven’t moved about with them so can’t comment on that "

"just come back from a holiday and not only is the battery totally flat but it won't even charge!"

"the last straw was when i realised that my phone's sound equaliser settings really didn't make much difference and within 1 hour of receiving it the item was packaged up again ready for return"

"distance is a little short only across a small house if on the same floor but it's eliminated the frustration of catching my headphones and ripping one out"

"i would bench mark these at around the equivalent of a cheap £5 pair of wired headphone you can get in a supermarket"

"maybe separate buttons on the other ear piece would have been a better idea than to have to hold down for a few seconds every time you want to skip a track skipping backwards more than one track is a bit of an ordeal but i guess normally you wont need to do this"

"just come back from a holiday and not only is the battery totally flat but it won't even charge!"

"however i find that the audio keeps skipping jumping and subsequently dropping out meaning my music is choppy and just isn't worth listening to"

"i recently broke two different cheap bluetooth headphones since inferior quality"

"previous ~after 2 months of light use the right bud has weaker sound i can only hear music with the left bud i thought it was a good product but i dont see it lasting for long maybe i had a defect i dont know but it was very sudden after a track i just lost sound from the right speaker and now are unusable"

"i’m going to look for other earphones now as i can’t trust that this won’t happen again"

"never again"

"also it's noticeable that in the product handbook they don't mention noise cancellation at all as there's no control to enable disable it maybe because it doesn't exist at all"

"previous ~after 2 months of light use the right bud has weaker sound i can only hear music with the left bud i thought it was a good product but i dont see it lasting for long maybe i had a defect i dont know but it was very sudden after a track i just lost sound from the right speaker and now are unusable"

"could do with some slightly smaller memory foam ear pads as l think this would stop this issue"

"anyway these broke in one ear after about 2 months and i returned them"

"when i spoke with apple they were fairly dismissive of the issue and put it down to user error!"

"only problem i have with them is that they don’t cancel much noise unless you turn them up loud"

"i am scared of losing them though!"

"gutted and disappointed as wasted my money"

"ridiculous connection issues needing hard resets"

"then discovered that you can get the iphone to play a lost sound!"

"then the left one stopped working"

"the left airpod runs out of battery within minutes while the right one has full charge sent off to get repaired and they send back saying they couldn’t find anything wrong with it clearly they didn’t even bother looking!"

"apple says there is nothing wrong with them"

"one of the worst investments i have made"

"very disappointed"

"battery seems to last for ever and you always have extra charge in the case"

"bluetooth connectivity is disappointing as well: my phone detected the airpods but once disconnected i didn't managed to pair them again"

"shame about the slight imperfection"

"siri voice activation works fine for me too the music volume dips and you just speak"

"i have a small issue with them falling out of my ears but i think it must be something about my ears because other family members who have them never have problems with them falling out"

"however neither of these are massive problems certainly not given the positives and the price tag"

"my boy loves them can't fault them really good bargain at the time of the purchase"

"i had the same issue with another pair hat i had"

"but that’s the apple issue so not rating the sender down :"

"million times better than all the fake airpods on amazon with fake reviews"

"only small gripe is they do tend to slip out of the ears a little bit and i do mean a little bit there's no danger of them falling out but pushing them back in does up the volume a little bit"

"million times better than all the fake airpods on amazon with fake reviews"

"right now im in the process of returning them"

"i've never felt the need to push the volume to full even when travelling on public transport or when using in a reasonably noisy office"

"but despite this if you crank them up even in noisy environs like the gym train etc they still sound very good"

"they don't actually block out extraneous sound anymore than the cheap ones that come with an iphone but the sound quality and weight of the sound is such that it mostly overcomes this you can hear through it so to speak!"

"i tried these on classical music with mahler's second symphony and they sounded epic making the finale of the piece really full and meaty i also tried the with some brass band black dyke band playing metropolis 1927 and they made the band sound full and fruity and today at work i've had on some rush a show of hands peter gabriel so!"

"they all have one thing in common they either break fail to pair etc or they are a pain to get synched to your phone if you lose connection"

"i’ll admit this was some of the most expensive tech i’ve purchased"

"they don't actually block out extraneous sound anymore than the cheap ones that come with an iphone but the sound quality and weight of the sound is such that it mostly overcomes this you can hear through it so to speak!"

"i dislike full noise cancellation products but these earpods have just enough while not blocking out everything around me important as i use them most when out and about commenting etc so gentle awareness of my environment is important"

"'hey siri' works well but the double tap required to pause playing or answer a phone call is rather more fiddly than the single press on the control of the wired buds"

"i bought this product few months ago and hardly used it now regretting already one of the airpod has stopped working checked charging but it wouldn't work"

"if you like apple don't buy a cheap alternative save up and get these"

"the only slightly weaker issue is that the microphone is not a brilliant standard meaning that when taking or making calls i have had a couple of instances where people have struggled to make me out"

"whilst to me there are somewhat expensive for my 16 year old niece they are the bee's knees & could not be better"

"the sound quality if you’re an extreme audiophile these may not be the best headphones for you"

"the main problem is the poor connection with my android phone"

"dont order!"

"noice cancellation is perfect but they aren’t in ear headphones so expected"

"it was left out in the open for anyone to see but it's not the company fault"

"i resisted getting these as frankly the beats earbuds are junk and break and awful service from apple"

"i’ve had many earphones to use with my iphone and ipad nothing of them come close to the apple air buds crystal clear sound can walk around the house without losing the sound and connected to the bluetooth straight away on my iphone and ipad i would recommend rhe apple air buds to anyone who wants continue music"

"the main problem is the poor connection with my android phone"

"i dislike full noise cancellation products but these earpods have just enough while not blocking out everything around me important as i use them most when out and about commenting etc so gentle awareness of my environment is important"

"so far so good the only thing that was bad was that i paid £6 for delivery to only have them deliver to the wrong house and they didn’t leave a card or anything and stated that they were delivered to my house luckily it was my neighbour but delivery wasn’t even attempted at my house but this isn’t apples"

"the sound is a bit too low but the biggest problem is the microphone is unusable"

"present for my daughter’s birthday and her main present does not work"

"these little fellas were bought for christmas for my son"

"this makes it uncomfortable slightly"

"by end of january the were not working anymore"

"i’ve used just a couple times and unfortunately amazon said i missed the return window"

"ridiculous connection issues needing hard resets"

"the only aspect i've found less helpful than having wired earbuds is the controls"

"my advice if you have an iphone only buy apple"

"total night and day compared to some of the many cheaper "true wireless" devices and their tinny thin sounding poor audio"

"the top of the charging box was very loose and the airpods had a sharp edge around them"

"once opened the airpods case and airpods were missing"

"the benefit of having wireless headphones is they will hopefully last longer as there are no cables to get tangled and break"

"usually they start flickering and the left one stops working"

"they are comfortable and good sound quality only reason i gave it 2 stars is that there is some sort of problem internally as everytime i pause my music or watch a video while my music is playing the sound volume goes to max giving me headaches and sore ears which is a shame for a expensive pair of earphones"

"the case wobbles side to side and the hands free siri activation don’t work"

"i purchased a set of apple airpods as an alternative to using my excellent but somewhat bulky b&o headphones when i travel on the train into london for regular everyday use if you will"

"i will of course return it again and ask for refund or try with the apple support but my advice do not buy apple airpod on amazon !"

"i narrowed it down to being a problem with oneplus 6t and the airpods 2nd gen not being compatible after an update i assume"

"battery status of the case and pods show up on the screen of your phone and even give them a name which you can change via phone settings"

"they worked great until after two weeks they would fail to connect"

"quality is generally poor and you owe it to your ears to give them what they deserve"

"when i conect them with my iphone the sound is really good but the microphone is just okay as several people have complained of noise when they talk to me"

"can’t go wrong with apple"

"poor show really !"

"couldn’t complain especially with the special price offers at the time of £125!"

"previously deemed airpods unnecessary saw them as an overpriced accessory to flaunt wealth however after my previous bluetooth headphones broken i took the plunge on airpods as they fit so well with the apple ecosystem and now"

"i was worried that as they don't contain rubber buds to fit into your ear that they might feel loose or in danger of falling out but the shape means that they are perfectly stable and can be work while running and never feel like they might pop out"

"all in all i wouldn't be so disappointed in them had they have not been so expensive not on par with usual apple quality"

"he was extremely disappointed on christmas day to find that he was not able to connect the airpods to his iphone"

"the only slightly weaker issue is that the microphone is not a brilliant standard meaning that when taking or making calls i have had a couple of instances where people have struggled to make me out"

"just sometimes it falls off from my ear"

"i was dubious about these even though the world seems to be wearing them"

"i got these for the gf personally i wouldn't have gone for them as they are ridiculously overpriced and i wouldn't want to look like one of those gormless fools that walks around with them in all day"

"total night and day compared to some of the many cheaper "true wireless" devices and their tinny thin sounding poor audio"

"the case is a charger so you can get away for long periods without charge"

"i read the reviews prior to purchase so was a little anxious after some of them"

"when i spoke with apple they were fairly dismissive of the issue and put it down to user error!"

"so i cancelled the exchange"

"previously i went through 1 pair of earphones every 2 months as the cables wires would weaken with everyday use while walking etc"

"usually they start flickering and the left one stops working"

"i think i’m fairly average but these feel like they are going to fall out at any moment"

"bought these after all other ear phones kept falling out when i ran"

"disappointed with product based on cost"

"but despite this if you crank them up even in noisy environs like the gym train etc they still sound very good"

"walking around i don't feel as though they're going to fall out either"

"you need some kind of hooks to retain them in your ear"

"the sound quality is not that good"

"i’ve only used them once for a workout and they kept falling out but bought some silicone covers for them"

"the sound is a bit too low but the biggest problem is the microphone is unusable"

"like most apple products these are designed to just ‘work’ without any unnecessary fuss"

"i will of course return it again and ask for refund or try with the apple support but my advice do not buy apple airpod on amazon !"

"they all have one thing in common they either break fail to pair etc or they are a pain to get synched to your phone if you lose connection"

"with all their fancy user experience babble surely apple could enable swipe to change volume?"

"not cheap but then it’s a typical well designed and made apple product"

"with all their fancy user experience babble surely apple could enable swipe to change volume?"

"does what i expected arrived within a week not noise cancelling at all a bit expensive for what you are getting but i have hardly taken them out since buying them"

"was scared they might be fake"

"i’m really sorry but this product isn’t good at all for me"

"it keeps giving me static noises that i can't change"

"i’ve had many earphones to use with my iphone and ipad nothing of them come close to the apple air buds crystal clear sound can walk around the house without losing the sound and connected to the bluetooth straight away on my iphone and ipad i would recommend rhe apple air buds to anyone who wants continue music"

"i have never seen the airpods till now and once i opened the always classy box i was met with this little gem of a case which held the airpods and once opened i was amazed by the little earphones and how clever the case was"

"they all seem to be the ones that go right in your ears and i can't wear those i have quite sensitive ears and have never got on with them"

"bought for my daughter i was surprised at the amazing sound generated from such a small headphone"

"i initially wrote a bad review as i thought i'd been sent a charging case that didn't work"

"not much to say here other than if you like airpods then these are for you i'm not sure the additional gen 2 features are all that much to sing about so if buying for the first time you may at least get these gen 2 pair rather than gen 1"

"my personality not enough bass"

"whilst to me there are somewhat expensive for my 16 year old niece they are the bee's knees & could not be better"

"as it’s slow and not worth it"

"i think my ears are not the best shape for these ear buds as they can fall out"

"so if these hold up and do not break these are the ones to go for"

"my right airpod broke for no reason after four months of owning this item"

"they are very pricey for what they are but i had some birthday money so i treated myself but i was so hesitant at first but i deffo recommend!"

"no reasons or excuses"

"as good as other apple earphones but without the wires"

"when i spoke with apple they were fairly dismissive of the issue and put it down to user error!"

"negatives are that they do let external sounds in unless you turn the volume all the way up"

"went to bluewater outlet in kent only to be told they did not have time and i would have to return 3 days later and wait in a queue"

"earphones life more than a day on a single charge"

"apple replaced this foc"

"good for telephone calls they are okay at eliminating backougrd noise when you are speaking but when you are not speaking some sometimes is caught and is heard by the person on the other end"

"i came home and my my package only had the airpod case and the charger i didn't actually have the airpods that was supposedly coming with it"

"they would not reset i tried everything"

"high chances of loosing it as it can drop from the ear anytime"

"you can't go wrong with an apple product but i do feel that this is overpriced"

"upgrade case to wireless if that’s your cup of tea mine uses a plug i’m not that fussy 🥰 i haven’t shown them because i’m currently listening to them 😂 genuine apple product don’t be shy ☺️ these airpods 2 are life changing let wherever you walk be your runway for free thinking 💭 waist turning hip dipping music but just look out for cars cause the bass on these bad boys are meaty like a sunday roast i have to look 4 times when crossing traffic 🤣😂 peace & love 💕"

"one of the headphone didn’t work properly unfortunately so had to send back for a refund"

"they do not connect or reset"

"i have to clean these nearly everyday otherwise the grill gets all clogged up and you can’t hear it i’ve had them for 3 months and already had to take a trip to apple "

"just as advertised"

"also when this happens the l r earphones will go out of sync"

"the two halfs on one pod are no quite matched smooth but honestly they are still pretty good and not worth me returning"

"i went through cheap ear buds huawei rip offs of airpods and nothing is matching overall feeling that i get while using these airpods"

"the left airpod runs out of battery within minutes while the right one has full charge sent off to get repaired and they send back saying they couldn’t find anything wrong with it clearly they didn’t even bother looking!"

"sent them back so disappointed i love apple but these were so disappointing"

"they are very good i heard details in the music i hadn’t heard before"

"a small led on the outside or a permanent view on your phone would not go amiss"

"great product but please note they are not the latest model"

"they hold connection never heard a dropout"

"i’ve had many earphones to use with my iphone and ipad nothing of them come close to the apple air buds crystal clear sound can walk around the house without losing the sound and connected to the bluetooth straight away on my iphone and ipad i would recommend rhe apple air buds to anyone who wants continue music"

"whilst to me there are somewhat expensive for my 16 year old niece they are the bee's knees & could not be better"

"i have to admit that the little apple eco system works amazingly although i am not convinced the entry price into the eco system is actually worth the jump"

"the sound from the airpods is the same from the wired apple earphones personally can’t hear difference"

"one of the pods does not charge consistently meaning i often return to them to find one is flat whereas the other is fully charged"

"with an iphone and ipad they connected immediately although i do sometimes get a red exclamation mark on one of them which doesnt seem to stop it connecting"

"i have a small issue with them falling out of my ears but i think it must be something about my ears because other family members who have them never have problems with them falling out"

"i was very sceptical about wireless headphones due to the issues of brain fry but i guess i can't keep my tinfoil hat on all the time"

"the only slightly weaker issue is that the microphone is not a brilliant standard meaning that when taking or making calls i have had a couple of instances where people have struggled to make me out"

"then again this is apple not expecting anything other than an overpriced price tag"

"don’t often write reviews but these headphones warrant it"

"i just received the 2nd airpod and still the same !"

"save yourself the panic and religiously put them away"

"everyone will be different won’t they!"

"but received a completely different cheap pair of earphones"

"they replaced the earpod for us"

"sent them back so disappointed i love apple but these were so disappointing"

"put off buying these for a while thinking other expensive models would be better however after sending 2 versions back decided to go with pods and never looked back"

"it keeps giving me static noises that i can't change"

"quality is generally poor and you owe it to your ears to give them what they deserve"

"well worth the money in the past i had bought the cheaper version they were a waste of money much better to pay extra for better quality"

"almost no bass like urbeats 3 which is disappointing considering the amount of money you pay for them"

"the worst part about airpods is cleaning you eventually give up trying to maintain it due how easily they catch dirt"

"if there is a downside to them it’s just like most apple products the price!"

"still not resolved"

"so i thought i'd try a cheaper version of airpods from ebay they were not offical apple ones and i thought how bad could they be?"

"very bad sound insulation as even if the earphones are on low people around you can hear alot"

"i tried many different types beats soundcore libery jabra and others"

"i bought these to use with my pixel android phone as there isn't a proper android manufacturer alternative some features don't work on adnoird but overall it works great and the quality is apple"

"lost one of last pair and could get another pair for not much more than replacing the lost one"

"you can switch what the double tapping each airpod does but the thing i particularly miss is being able to change volume at a touch it can now only be done with 'hey siri' or by taking the phone out which is a shame"

"pretty good at connecting to iphone however on occasion takes a few tries"

"they were so badly build that i have my doubts if they are originals"

"please take note of this before purchasing"

"previously deemed airpods unnecessary saw them as an overpriced accessory to flaunt wealth however after my previous bluetooth headphones broken i took the plunge on airpods as they fit so well with the apple ecosystem and now"

"first of all before you read anymore of this review i have spent over £100 on over ear headphones and they have been pleasurable but the second i played my first song through a pair or airpods i was blown away by the sound quality + comfort!"
