X1T Mini Invisible Truly Wireless Bluetooth V4.2 Stereo Surround Sound Earphones With Microphone For iPhone, Samsung, Android, IOS (Black)

I bought these on a whim after watching Earin and a few other true wireless sets rise and fall and then settle into niches. I expected a few things from a "true wireless" headset;1). Easy to pair2). Good sound quality. Not great, just not terrible.3). Easy to charge.4). Not fragileThis set looked good, I was hoping for waterproof but the bigger battery on this set told me this is the way to go.I DID NOT RECEIVE A DISCOUNT FOR THIS REVIEW.The set arrived intact and well packaged. I removed everything and powered on one bud and initiated pairing to my iPhone 6. It popped up and paired right away so I turned the other bud on and it paired right away and they went on my ears for 45 minutes of Metallica Radio. All the other reviews about how hard these are to pair with the phone and then each other puzzles me. I didn't even read the instructions.Four different sets of tips and the medium ones seemed best. I really don't like the feel of rubber in my ear canal so I replaced them with a set of Comply Foam pads and the fit and noise isolation dramatically improved.These aren't going to win awards for sound quality but as I listen to "Thrift Shop" the highs are crisp and the lows rattle around. I have a klipsch set of earbuds that sound better but they aren't wireless and I wouldn't take them to work. These I would no problem.So I ran the battery down just to see how they did. Almost 4 hours later they started disconnecting from each other until 1 finally gave up. Spent the night on the charger.Day 2 they were fully charged and immediately paired with my phone and then each other after I got them off the charger. Very little Turnaround to get them going again. Audio sounds even better today. I also haven't needed to turn the volume up to max, but I did just to try. Stays pretty clear even to max volume with sound check on. Very impressed with the sound quality.2 drawbacks - not being waterproof is a killer. I'd use them for a lot more things if I didn't have to worry about them getting wet. Drawback #2 is a potential setback due to the description as "invisible". The only way these are invisible is if your hair is long enough to cover your ears. Completely. I included a side photo that shows how far they stick out. One other reviewer called them "Frankenstein Bolts" sticking out of your ears. It's very unsightly, which is why the company doesn't post people actually using these. They seem pretty sturdy thus far and seem pretty solid in my ears, but the trade off for a bigger battery and lower cost is pretty rough. They're not attractive, but under $25 makes them a lot more attractive.Range has not been an issue at all. I've left my phone upstairs, gone downstairs and back with no issues. As others have noticed once in a while one of the earpieces will hiccup and miss sound for a split second. But it's not frequent and not upsetting. I finally lost signal when I went outside but when I walked back into range it paired right back up no problem and started playing again without me having to touch them.Haven't used the microphone at all, I really don't have much use for it as I live via texting and email or use my watch to reply to texts.So for $23, I'm pretty pleased with these. Some controls would be nice, but I can adjust volume and change tracks with my Apple Watch so it's ok.For a long term review I'll come back again in a bit when or if issues pop up.Two weeks later and I've actively tried to beat these headphones down and they have proven to be pretty good. Still have had absolutely no issues whatsoever with pairing. Power one on, it pairs immediately with my phone. Power the second one on and it immediately pairs with the other. I've separated them (my wife and I did some cooking where I used one and she used the other so we could quietly listen to the same music) and had no hiccups or issues. I ran the battery down, charged them and then let them sit for a few days. No issues, paired right up. I'm not sure if I just got lucky with my set but as I update this review and listen to some Christmas radio, I've come to really appreciate these headphones and how inexpensive they were. I also sat down and opened the instructions...not as bad as others have said but clearly a google translate probably. I did learn I can advance songs by double clicking either button so that was handy to learn. The picture that shows the left one and the right one is included since several questions have come up about telling the difference. They also suggest not beating the product or using heavy objects to squeeze the earphones. Very frustrating as I planned on placing them in a clamp and using a hammer to change tracks.

So I'll start by saying they have a few cons but mostly pros. I'm someone that uses the headset for exercise mostly but also have had the chance to take a few calls and relax with some music on them. They have a great amount of base and are pretty clear for the price. No noticeable distortion. Close to as good or better than sets that I have paid over $100 for. They have a small amount of cut out but only seems to be related to me covering them or adjusting my phone. Not at all enough for me to dislike them. I just ordered a second set for a back up. Very easy to pair. The charge over a couple of days time seems to give good play and stand by time. Volume is great and that comes from someone needing a high amount of volume to enjoy a headset. Fantastic to have zero wires at all. Also very easy to charge.

I was in the market for new earphones for a long time since my last pair (xiaomi hybrids) were lost somewhere. I tried a few kinds of earphones since, including bluetooth ones. I had a bluetooth sport earphones that I had purchased earlier in the year, but the wire connecting the left and right ear buds did not look good at all. I was immensely disappointed about how poorly it looked from the back or the side, where a wire is often seen hanging from the back of your neck and sometimes over the collar of your shirts or jacket. It made you look just...plain silly.Then the whole craze over truly wireless bluetooth earphones began! And I was very excited to try. I looked at a bunch, including Samsung's Icon X. These kinds of earphones all share one common issue - battery life. Because they are no longer connected by wire, the battery required to power the earphones and the bluetooth module is separated. That effectively means the battery life of these bluetooth earphones are halved, when compared to the wired counterparts. These earphones aren't any different - they have about 3 hours of battery life each. If you are only using one side, you can switch to the second earbud once the first battery runs out. Then you'll have 6 hours of battery life - which is enough to carry you throughout most of the day. But if you use both at all times, then you'll only have 3 hour battery life, since both earbuds lose power at the same rate, at the same time. These earbuds are no different, and neither are the $200 USD Samsung Icon X.That is, for the time being, the only major drawback.Another small annoyance is that upon being connected, the earphones will constantly blink their leds. If they are paired already to your device, they will emit a small blue flash every 5 seconds until their battery dies or you turn them off. That can get pretty annoying, especially if you're trying to wear them in the dark where someone may be trying to sleep, etc.Aside from that I think these earbuds are great entry ways to the freedom that true wireless bluetooth earphones provide. Their music quailty is not poor - they have a clear sound and don't sound like tin cans or muffled at all. Their bass is a little on the lighter side, but it is far from missing or just poor. More importantly, if you take into account their price - they're great. For 1/8th the price of their Samsung counterparts, they do the same job, provide the same convenience, and don't produce poor music quality. If volume is an important factor for you, these earbuds can get very very loud. I normally listen on 3/4 of the volume or higher when using normal, wired earphones. These require me to lower the volume to 1/2 before using them.Their battery life is as advertised - about 3 hours per earphone, totaling to 6 hours combined when using 1 earphone at a time. 3 hours of battery life if you use both at the same time.They are not huge. I was afraid I'd look very silly with a huge plastic bulging from my ears. However, that is not the case. Yes, they are bigger than wired earphones - of course they are...they need room for the bluetooth module and battery. That being said, they are not much larger than regular bluetooth sport earphones with the behind-the-neck wire.For the convenience, price, and quality, I give this product a solid 4 stars. It did not get 5 stars only because of 1.) the battery life which is poor bc of the current state of technology when it comes to batteries, and 2.) consistent blinking of leds even upon connection to a device.

Surprisingly good for the Money, and I don't say that in the sense that it's cheaper so the sound quality is "just acceptable", they sound really good and pleasingly loud. I paired them with my Oneplus One, and this transmitter/receiverhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KXIKCSI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and they worked great with both. Just make sure you follow the instructions on this page to the T to pair the buds together and then to your device, and you shouldn't have any problems (assuming they can be paired with whatever device you're attempting to pair them with). The only real question is their longevity, but my first impression is a solid four stars. My only real complaint so far is the super short charging cord.In summery I'll have to quote one of my favorite movies "What a fascinating and modern age we live in..."
