Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Pairing between the two earbuds breaks down often and needs a manual fix. Numerous commenters describe one earbud going silent or unresponsive after sleeping with them, leaving them overnight, or just regular use, leading them to think the buds were broken. A specific reset sequence — holding buttons through two rounds of blinking lights — resolves it for most, but some report it stops working reliably over time or needs repeating frequently.

Charging and connection reliability show occasional flaws. Some users report the case charges fully but the earbuds themselves won't, unless fully drained first, while others mention a stuck white charging light or needing to constantly 'forget device' and re-pair in Bluetooth settings. A few also note dropped connections, crackling audio, and inconsistent max-volume output despite settings showing full volume.

Fit, comfort, and pricing draw mixed reactions. Several commenters find the buds bulky or uncomfortable, feeling like they could fall out regardless of adjustment, with one saying they don't suit everyone's ear shape. Mic quality was called terrible by one user. However, others view the low price (around 399 yuan or under $100) as a strong selling point, and one noted a firmware update noticeably improved sound quality.
