Very lightweight and comfortable, good quality for the price
I have used many ear buds in the past. This time I was specifically looking for the ones with an ear hook. The benefit with using the ear hook is, in my opinion, that it does not rely on a pressure or tight fit of the ear buds to keep them on (or "in") the ears and therefore they are more comfortable. These earbuds are very lightweight and I did not notice any discomfort and after a while even forgot I was wearing them.The ear hooks are detachable and ear inserts are replaceable with multiple sizes packed in the box.Pairing was straightforward and quick. I've tried it with iPhone and Android phones and once paired, I was able to disconnect with one phone and quickly connect with another phone (previously paired).Both ear buds work independently so you can wear just one of them if you wish and the sound quality, even if not stereo, is still good for listening to youtube, spoken word or music for entertainment. But as they are recognised as one unit, you of course cannot pair the left earbud with one phone and the right earbud with a second phone - it's not an issue at all, and I don't think other earbuds do support this, just to clarify that.The earbuds come well packed, with a lightweight charging box (which is rather big compared to others) and a short USB-C charging cable. As you can see from the description or photos, the charging box allows to charge the earbuds independently of a power supply for up to 25 hours playtime - I cannot confirm this unfortunately as I always charge them overnight. There is also a built-in microphone. I've tried to make a phone call with it and the other party did not have issues understanding what I was saying.The earbuds connect over Bluetooth 5.1. Why should you care?Before version 5.0, your transmitting device (e.g. a phone) could only transfer audio to one wireless speaker. If you wanted to connect two speakers in stereo (or party) mode, you had to use proprietary solutions where one speaker (or earbud) beams its signal to another speaker (or earbud). That is now a thing of the past since with Bluetooth 5.0 and higher, you can send an audio signal to two different devices simultaneously. That applies to speakers and headphones/earbuds so that you and your friend can listen to the same song.How is Bluetooth 5.1 Better Than 5.0? Bluetooth technology 5.1 has some benefits for headphone users, such as faster connectivity and the positioning system ability to accurately locate a lost earbud. Transmitting device with Bluetooth 5.0 only knows how far away you are from the receiver, but not its exact location. That is because it uses Bluetooth signal strength to determine the device’s proximity. In contrast, devices with Bluetooth 5.1 use more antennas to pinpoint the exact direction, and signal strength determines the distance. The new version is so accurate that it can locate a device within an inch (few cm). With this technology, devices know precisely where they are, offering you a much more stable Bluetooth connection. Not only that, you are able to find your missing earbuds without GPS (the earbuds do not have GPS). Bluetooth 5.1 comes with a feature called “randomized advertising channel indexing.” When you pair with your headphones, the connection runs on a specific channel. That way, it doesn’t get interrupted by other Bluetooth devices. For this to work, at least one of the connected devices need to support Bluetooth version 5.1. If it’s the receiver, it will use the angle of arrival (AoA), whereas the transmitter will use the angle of departure (AoD) feature. Both store the necessary information to determine a device’s position.The soft ear hook is a dust catcher. I keep cleaning it so that I don't have dust/dirt on my ear. It would be great if the material is somewhat less prone to catch the dust/dirt.Overall, very happy with the purchase, good quality for the price, the product looks and works as described on the product page and the delivery was quick.

Great value ear buds for exercise
These are really simple to use ear buds. They sound good and are particularly well designed for exercise. I tried them on a few runs, as well as using them on my rowing machine. They sounded good and were comfortable and didn't slip (I've found ear buds without ear loops to slip, and I constantly worry that they'll come out!)The buds come with a neat little box to charge in, with LEDs to indicate that they're charging (they don't have a percentage charged indicator though). Pairing with my phone (Google Pixel 4a) was really simple and they connected straight away with no glitches. You can use the buttons on each bud to control volume, skip to next track. These took a little getting used to, but once remembered were intuitive. The buds come with two ear clips for different sizes. They seem pretty robust and didn't strike me as too flimsy.I tried them out on a couple of short runs, and found them to be comfortable and didn't slip. They delivered good sound, which didn't break up (I've had connectivity issues with some way more expensive cordless, Bluetooth headphones). They were loud enough (though not recommended for running by roads), and had good articulation of bass and handled vocals well. I tried them whilst using my rowing machine and they were just as comfortable and I could push the volume up!They also have an in built microphone. I tried them for a video call and they connected easily to my laptop. The sound quality was decent and the others on the call could hear my voice fine.All in all, they are a very good buy. They're very well priced, seem robust and functioned fine with no glitches. They're particularly good for exercise

Perfect for sports! Brilliant headphones
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. My last pair of headphones died and I was on a search for another set.I do a lot of sports and am an avid runner. I need something which stays in but doesn’t give me discomfort or falls out. Nothing worse than running on your earbuds 2k into a marathon!I’m pleased I’ve stumbled across these.I can utilise them as earbuds when in work and the rubberised sections pop on for when I’m out running.Good size. Great fit.Comfortable.They hold in well and don’t pinch or rub even when I start to sweat. Sound quality is great and it’s got a good level of base.All in all perfect.Would definitely recommend.

Great headphones for running and working out !
Great product! I use the headphone for running and working out and they are great. They connect very easily and last for ages without needed to recharge them. They come with different ear sizes so can easily change them to what fits best. Go on long runs with these and they never fall out which is fab! Would definitely recommend it.

Great sound, hooks a waste of time for me.
With the ear hooks attached the buds would not sit in my ears, they are at the wrong angle. The sound quality without the hooks was good and having selected the right size ear cups fitted they fit snuggly in my ears and blocked out any other sounds. I'm not sure whether noise cancelling worked or if it was just a snug fit caused the blocking of external noise? Nonetheless, it's a good product for the money.

Nice wireless bluetooth headphones, with great connectivity
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Pleasantly surprised by these headphones - they paired easily with my Peloton bike and connect very fast each time (see video). Sound quality is decent and, because they're not wired, the headphones can be shared by two people at once should that be needed. Really good value for money.

Good stuff
I wasn't expecting much from this ear buds, but I was surprised when I put them on and played the music from my phone. And the battery lasts for 1 week and 4 days. Since I bought them I've charged it once only. The only problem is in a phone call the person on the other line cannot hear me properly, they said is broken down. But I need them just for music.
