You wont find a better, more dependable wireless earbud even 3x this price point.
I just got my FiTerra True Wireless Earbuds and I after using them all afternoon I decided I had to write a review. What you need to know: I’m on an iPhone 8, these are my third pair of wireless earbuds, I listen while exercising, working in the house and outside.The sound quality is excellent. Whether listening to the rhythmic base of Sheppard’s “Geronimo”, Dean Ray’s steel guitar, Brandon Flower’s flying vocals, Sia, B.O.B., Kong’s of Leon, or any other of a number of artists, the sound quality holds up. I noticed no cracking or popping that I even hear with my wired earbuds. The base is comparable to my $500 over ear headphones.The user interface deserves a shout out. Syncing was a cynch, and the audio cues “power on” “connected” “secondary pairing” were very helpful. In fact, I have another pair of earbuds that were several hundred dollars, and I am never sure if both earbuds are connected, one, or neither.The pairing between the FiTerra earbuds is rock solid, which I’m pleased about because reliable pairing is a problem with my other pair. No fading sound or random disconnects by the secondary headphone. At this price point the FiTerra earn the 5-stars.I forgot to mention that I’ve been listening for over 4 hours and the earbuds are still going strong.I’ll write an update in 3 or 4 months.

Sound quality and features punch well above the $50 price point
I use earbuds mostly while sitting at my desk. I like true wireless so that I don't get caught every time I reach to grab something or turn to talk to someone. I've been using a pair of QCY Q29 earbuds for a while that I actually really enjoyed, but now that I've tried out these RL FiTerras, I'll never go back.First, the sounds quality is great. I'll admit I'm not an audiophile, so I can't comment beyond the fact that they sound just as good as my laptop's speakers, my TV's speakers, my Q29s, and for me that's great.The reason I'll only ever use my FiTerras now is because they have a couple of really great features.First, the magnetic case presses the earbuds down into the charging docks to ensure that they're charging when encased. My Q29s were AWFUL at this - I had to constantly jiggle them or reset them until the light came on, and even then I was never 100% sure if they were charging. Sometimes I'd pull them out after a full day of charging and the voice was already yelling at me that the battery was low. EXTREMELY frustrating. Charging should be table stakes, but not everyone has gotten this right, so props to RL for doing it well with these FiTerra.The really big killer feature that seals the deal for me is what I'm calling the "ear rest" design. In the second picture I uploaded, I hope you can see the thin little notch that sticks out at the top, right above the connection point for the charging pins. It's a seemingly innocuous design that you probably wouldn't think twice about, but it's actually insanely genius.With my Q29s, the only contact point with my ear (i.e. the only thing keep it from falling out) was the rubber plug itself. They were kind of chunky earbuds, so there was a decent amount of weight floating out in the air away from my body, all hinging on that rubber plug from coming loose. I found them falling out ALL the time, so I even increased the size of the plug to jam it in there tighter (and jamming big stuff in my ear isn't exactly what I would call enjoyable), plus I would twist it around to try and find a better balance point; even then, they still fell out!Aside from the Q29s, I've also worn Airpods. While a lot of the weight hangs down in those (in my opinion ridiculous looking) stems, the sleek, smooth component that goes in your ear still isn't very secure. Another example of Apple prioritizing style over function.The little ear rest on these FiTerras provides a great support for the earbuds, and does so comfortably, without having to jam stuff in your ear. They are extremely comfortable AND stable. I've gone on jogs and shaken my head around and they don't fall out. It's so simple, but so refreshing, especially after using other products that have failed at this.And all of this - great sound quality, killer features - comes at just $50!!! These should be priced with Airpods at $150+, so to get them at $50 is a steal. These are a must have for folks that want true wireless earbuds.

Comfortable, but sound quality is bad
I used these for a week in OBX and got a good variance of use (walking, bike riding, exercising) and while these are comfortable and easy to use, the sound quality really suffers.1. Comfort: These are the most comfortable in ear headphones I've ever worn. They fit very nicely and (almost) never fall out. The only time they didn't want to stay in was this morning when it was raining and I was walking to work. My ears don't sweat so they do stay in while exercising.2. Ease of use: They are very easy to use. I've seen questions where folks have stated only one ear bud works. Make sure you turn both ear buds on! You must turn them on individually. I'm still learning the button functions on each bud; I press one and the music stops but sometimes it takes a few presses for the music to continue.3. Charging/battery life: So far these have only died on me once. This was after fully charging the pod and letting it charge the buds several times. I can't recall the amount of hours I got out of it, but it was acceptable. Charging is really easy and the pod is pretty convenient. The lid is magnetic so unless you drop it, it won't fall off.4. Sound: This is where this product falls smack on its face. The sound quality is very poor. The bass is almost non-existent, and what bass does exist is very muffled. There is a constant crackling/gritty/static noise while music is playing (doesn't really happen during podcasts). It sounds very cheap, even for a pretty inexpensive pair. Sound quality is huge. You can have the most comfortable, easy to use headphones on the market, but if the sound quality is bad, the rating goes down the tubes. This is a shame because everything else about these ear buds are pretty good.
