Tempo 30

I would recommend these earbuds 100%! Very good quality, very good sound. Normally when I workout/run I only put 1 earbud in so that I can still hear my surroundings and even with just 1 in, the sound is fantastic!! There are different ear pieces to pick from to make them fit your ear perfect and they are light weight and small enough to feel like they aren’t even there! Easy to connect to any device with Bluetooth and the battery life is great!! If you’re needing new earbuds for a great price, these are the ones to get!!

I have legitimately small ear canals. They say most people fall within a median spectrum even if they feel like their ears are small. I have always had problems with ear buds, injured my ears with foam tips, and had to have custom fitted electronic hearing protection because the “one size fits all” ones were causing issues. Even the professionals said my ear canals were freaky small. So, if you came here looking for something comfortable for small ears, I am one of you and this is the right place! These fit well right out of the box for me, although there are several tip sizes. Sound quality was rich and warm but still crisp in the high ranges. With the bass boost on, it was even better. Connectivity was super easy, no issues, and the controls work beautifully. They feel like good quality design. I had just returned a high quality big name set that cost more than twice this much (because they hurt my ears) and these feel just as nice as those (without the ear pain). Very attractive, even a nice quality case. My only teeny gripe is I’m used to having a lanyard on my case but you can buy a matching fitted carrier case from Back Bay. They stay in well, too. I needed them to not wiggle during exercise and they stay put. I’m very excited to finally find something comfortable! I would be curious to know if Back Bay’s noise canceling models have the same fit but I wasn’t sure so I didn’t want to take a chance. Happy with these.

They came very promptly. I do consider myself a bit of an audiophile, maybe because I have always had much better earring than the average person and was hesitant to get any product that didn't give me top-notch acoustics. Having said that, this is my first pair of earbuds - and why I went for lower priced ones as I first as I wanted them mostly for phone use. I also have small ears. On my laptop I've been using over the ear Bose QC II headphones for about 10 years...sometimes not even needing the ANC feature if environment is quiet. Now to the Back Bay Tempo 30s. First - they cost a little over $50.00 with tax. They are easy to charge, and very easy to pair to my Samsung Galaxy S9+. I opted for the rose gold ones, which are for smaller ears and nice. The smallest silicon already on the buds made for a good fit for my ears, and I was impressed that they felt secure and not like they were going to fall out. Phone calls - first test was in a quiet environment. I called a business number I'm familiar with and then apologized for calling a wrong number. I had the buds at about 40% volume, and was stunned at how loud and clear the other party came in. I turned them down a bit. When I said "Sorry, wrong number," the person on other end had no trouble hearing me. Going to music and videos. I have some favorites I use to test different aspects of sound quality and have eclectic taste in music - from acapello groups like Pentatonix and Home Free, to select Disturbed's songs, pop-opera like Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman, Laura Pausini and even some popular Broadway musicals like Elaine Paige's "Memory," for testing. I like to hear the bass, not overpowering but clearly to my bones. It was one reason that I chose the Tempo 30's, as everyone raved about "Bass mode." After listening to one or two songs, I did like Bass mode better. Turning up the volume to hear better bass wasn't always necessary (I heard it well at about 30%), but I did find that wanting to hear the bass was sometimes at odds with causing some sibilance at higher notes. For example in a review of "Rings of Fire" by the acapello group Homefree, I turned up the audio to hear the song and their bass - but then had to turn the volume down quickly at higher pitched voices because high pitched voices hurt my ears. While listening to Disturbed's Sound of Silence video, I needed to turn the whole video down to about 20% for it not to cause me discomfort, and at that level the "extra" bass effect is pretty much negated. The last song I tested was "Vivo per Lei" by Bocelli and Pausini. I could hear them both well and was comfortable at 30% volume, which is pretty impressive. I also noticed some video lag over the bluetooth connection. I'm sensitive to audio delay and the need for lip synchronization, and will also look for this to be corrected. Turning on "movie mode" in the Tempo 30's seemed for the most part to solve that problem. Using movie mode also seemed to help divide, clarify, and simultaneously help the balance playing from left to right earbud, and vice versa. Edit: Added bonuses, while at work and on my feet - if I happen to walk away from my phone which I've set on a table, I hear "disconnected" from the earpods, which is great and helps from losing my phone. Also, since I often work in outdoors - parties can hear me better with one earpod in then when I use my smartphone put up to my ear. So - wow. For $50.00 these are pretty great. A lot of value in a small package. I can't wait to see and hear everything that this company is able to accomplish.

I’ve been using the Tempo 30 earbuds daily, and they’re impressively comfortable — the multiple ear-tip sizes let them fit snug even for smaller ears, and they stay secure during pretty intense workouts too! Their sound is rich and punchy, and the extra-bass mode really brings music and podcasts to life without distortion. And I appreciate that the long battery life, plus waterproof/sweat-resistant build make them a reliable pick for commuting, gym sessions, or long travel days. Got it in lavender, it’s so pretty!!

I was hoping to wear these for falling asleep as my husband snores. They are comfortable to wear and has some pretty decent quality sound. However they still aren't flat enough to wear comfortable for me as a side-sleeper and the noise cancelation isn't as strong as my JBLs or JVCs, but they're still decent quality for the price. They hold a charge well and the charging case is tiny! I can go several nights wearing these all night before I have to recharge the case. I'll probably keep these as my JBLs are nowhere near as comfortable as these for everyday use.

So far so good. Sound is awesome and the bass boost is great, really adds a 'punch' to the bass. Buds are small and don't protrude from the ears which makes them very stable and the 6 different sizes/styles of tips make customizing the fit very easy. I always seem to have a problem getting buds that fit comfortably but so far, (knock on wood) these are great. The case is actually aluminum not plastic and very small and comfortable in the pocket. The charging indicator is a series of 4 led's not a single led which, in my mind, makes it easier to tell how the charge is. Also it says in the instrutions that the case can be left plugged indefinitely so I don't have to remember to plug it in to charge it. A small thing yes but still a thing. If anything changes in the next couple of days, I'll post back with an edit. **edit** Couple days later and I'm still impressed. Only thing is I had to change the earpieces to a foam style which is my preference nothing to do with the actual bud itself. You have to remember to touch the bud in the middle to change settings but that's nothing, just a matter of getting used to it. I still think it's an extremely good deal considering the sound and comfort.

Les écouteurs ont une bonne qualité de son cependant il arrive fréquemment que quand je les range elle ne se ferme pas la batterie se vide et je dois la les recharger et j'ai aussi de la misère à les connecter par moments, le bassboost et excellent ils ne semble pas y avoir trop de latence lors de l'utilisation

My daughter suggested these to me and to my surprise, I found them to be really great. At first I was afraid that they were going to fall out of my ears but they seem to be holding fast. The sound is clear and crisp. I only use them for listening to podcasts when I am out walking. The limited time I used these for music, I was also impressed. I had no problem connecting them to my Bluetooth on my iPad as well as on my Android phone. If you have more than one device, I suggest you turn off Bluetooth in the other ones for easier connection. I had some trouble connecting to the device I wanted because the other one seemed to be competing. All in all, an excellent product especially for the price. EDIT (5 MONTHS LATER) I stand by my previous comments. However 5 months into using these earbuds, the left one drastically got reduced in volume, to about half of the other one or less. Of course I did the usual things like tested these on another device; checked my own ear; reset them several times but the problem remained. Since I had registered them with the company in Boston and since I could download my purchase order from Amazon I had no difficulty in getting a replacement (in fact a whole new set). So I strongly suggest you register them ASAP once you purchase them and hang on to the proper documents (warrently and proof of purchase). Customer service answered promptly to my request; they were extremely helpful and within just a few days I had received the replacement even though I live in Canada in a relatively isolated area. In spite of the defective earbud, which apparently is common with many earbuds, I will still give this company 5 stars mainly because of customer support.

These earbuds deliver sufficient bass for a good listening experience, provided you find the correct fitting earbud tips, a process which for me involved trying three sizes of the included options. Their sound quality is commendable for single-driver earbuds, offering clarity comparable to others in their class, though they naturally don't rival the intricate soundstages of multi-speaker IEMs I own. Battery life has proven ample for my personal use, and they consistently pair quickly with my Android phone, with only a few brief signal hiccups. While the tap-controlled interface is conceptually good, the extreme sensitivity often leads to accidental setting changes when merely inserting or adjusting the earbuds, which can be quite annoying. Despite this minor frustration, I am generally pleased with my purchase. I haven't tested them for calls, so I cannot comment on that aspect. It's worth noting that I had to disable my cellphone's volume limits and Bluetooth volume restrictions to achieve maximum output, after which the earbuds became excessively loud at their highest setting. A practical concern is the charging case's size; it's too compact to accommodate my preferred Spinfit earbud tips, meaning they fit in the case but prevent the earbuds from charging, a problem that fortunately doesn't exist when using any of the tips provided. Otherwise I like the small size of the case, it's very pocket friendly.
