Aiwa Prodigy Air Max - Bluetooth Earbuds

I wanted to wait for a while before writing a review. In my opinion a week, 30 days, even 45 days isn't enough time to truly gauge an audio device's performance, sound quality, and durability. I bought my AIWA's in February of 2021, so although that's a long time ago, I can truly judge them fairly now (I actually forgot, been super busy). Anyway, what can I say the sound quality is impressive, for sure. I don't consider myself an audiophile, but having been around musicians, recording studios, stages, video production, music videos, and high-end audio equipment, I know what sounds good and not so good. My AIWA'S give me full-sounding, rich music of all genres, rock, country, oldies, pop music, rap, originals, R&B, 70's, 80's, 90's and podcasts. The current music sounds great too because of the advances in recordings and my earbuds translate the sounds perfectly. The bass isn't boomy or muddled, it's tight, punchy, just the right amount of bass with just the right amount of resonance. The mids and highs are equally good. I love the sound of a horn section in music, through my wireless earbuds the sound is tremendous, sometimes piercing the sound is so realistic. When vocals are recorded correctly if you close your eyes you feel like the singer is right next to you. The left and right separation is awesome, you can hear the lead guitar on the left earbud, the rhythm guitar following along while the keyboard fills out both sides. When you can hear the bass guitar strumming clearly in music, you know your earbuds are keepers. These are by far the best earbuds I've ever owned. I use these in place of my $400.00 over-the-ear headphones. Battery life is pretty good. I walk daily for an hour or more and I don't have to charge them but once every two weeks. I can still hear traffic and other sounds, so their safe to use outdoors while exercising. You definitely need to use the right size earbuds or you won't experience the best sound, the music will bleed through and sound tinny, then you've got to turn them up, not good.. Two of my all-time favorite groups (among many) are Tower of Power and Steely Dan, and they sound lifelike and incredible!

These fit very well in the ear canal and have no protruding hard edges to cause discomfort after long periods of time. Have taken them in the shower and they worked really good. No water got past the seal.Sound quality is very good, crisp clear highs, dicernable mids, good bass response from an earbud. Only could use a bit more volume, I find I have used louder earbuds although the sound quality wasnt as good.Battery life is good, compared to larger wireless in ear and around the head/neck headphones.The carrying case is great, helps keep them clean from storing and transporting.I have noticed a sound that remains after pausing music or during phone calls. Not sure what thats all about, if it continues or worsens I'll get to find out if customer care and warranty is as smooth as these sound. Only has happened about three or four times since purchase.The shape of these are good especially for use with headcoverings in winter time. Nothing that sticks out to get moved or snagged on.Overall the design and quality of sound are very good. They are on the pricey side given I have used a 35$ set that aaalllmost matched the sound but design and convinience of the comfortable shape carried it past that set and makes up for the price difference. They are a pleasure to use.

These are an improvement over the previous buds offered by AIWA (not the original company), I'm glad to see the name make a comeback and that they are tryin to put out good products, with this being the third offering within a year. At least they're making an effort to improve their offering and they have improved each time around. This latest Air Max is more comfortable and does sound better than the last Air buds put out. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the sensor touch controls, but I don't like that on any earbuds, and the heft of the charging box. Any further needed input on these will come after I've used them for an extended time.

Earbuds fit well in ear thanks to tips and "wings". The wings really make a difference to the sound delivered into my ears, compared to other buds I own which only have tips. Comes with three sizes tips and wings. They are comfortable and stay in place when moving about, eating, drinking.The sound is wonderful, clean, and accurate. Good lows, mids, highs.Battery life fits my work day and off work enjoyment listening.They work great for phone calls and video calls.Volume up by pressing right bud; Down pressing on left. Pause with either bud.Case is charged via a USB-C port. As a bonus, the case also functions as a charging device. Plug a USB cable in and charge your device from the 2600mAh battery in the case.The Aiwa customer service is fantastic. Always responsive and caring. These folks care about great sound and great service. I own several Aiwa products and I would recommend them all for great sound at a good price.
