MSTHOO Open Ear Headphones, Purpods OpenBuds, Wireless Earbuds with Earhooks, Bluetooth 5.2, Clear Calls Noise Reduction, IPX7 Waterproof,for Sports Workout Office

I had a conversation with a friend the other day who wanted me to recommend some bluetooth earbuds and this was the first thing on my mind. I literally said, if I had the chance to reroll my purchase and choose another "style" of earbuds, I would have still picked this one out of many others on the market. It's affordable, easy to clip on and off the ear. Does not go in my ear canal, awesome 8 hour battery life, no more sound fatigue, and rather discreet enough to not attract too much attention. (Although, I don't like how it visible makes a blue light flash every 5 seconds it's signaling that it's connect to blue tooth) I have an in-ear bluetooth earbud that I love as well, but I still prefer this one for all the points above.Small discretion, because it is an open ear ear phone, sound bleed is significant, so loud music will be noticeable by others.PS: It's so much easier to recommend this if it pulls up on the search stack when I tell people to go find purpods rather than whatever search term I tell people to use to find this or sharing the direct link.

The good------------(1) The case is a charging case(2) The charging case can be charged wirelessly ( apart from USB C)(3) Open ear concept means that I don't have to plug these into my ear so (a) I can hear every everything around me (b) my head phone don't keep popping out of my ears (c) I don't feel claustrophobic with my ear closed.(4) The sound through bone conduction works well/seamlessly.(5) I can hear loud and clear. I am a audiophile and can confidently say that the sound quality is reasonable to good.(6) The earhooks are stable and don't fall off. You (may or) may NOT be able to use these while running though.The Bad------------(7) The charging case is BIG (bigger than any other I have used) This is because of the ear hooks that needs to be placed inside the case, but still, it could have been designed better.The Ugly------------(8) It does NOT (I repeat, does NOT) have active noise cancellation on the microphone. So when I speak on the phone using these, the person on the other side of the conversation can hear background noise.

I've been using these earbuds for a few months now mostly at work. I work in a noisy warehouse with lots of forklifts buzzing around, so being able to hear what's going on while still being able to hear music is quite important.The battery life per bud seems to stick right around 8 hrs. I haven't put the case through its recharging paces so can't comment on it's longevity.The sound quality is pretty good and works for my purposes.If i had to complain about anything I'd say max volume. Though as I said earlier, my workplace is noisy so take that with a grain of salt.They have a negative effect with audio books/podcasts though. The volume doesn't go high enough to attempt to overcome background noise, and they have a bad habit of dumping the opening second of chapters (or any natural pauses during a listen). Can get rather annoying hearing "pter 23" instead of "Chapter 23" etc. Can also crop up if the speaker has a naturally slow speech cadence too.

I thought they were great at first , for the most part, and for the price.That said, the right piece just stopped working out of nowhere.While this sucked, the seller honored the warranty and sent ne new ones.What I've found since,in less than a year of use, is the charge has started not lasting as long as they did initially.What's really problematic,is that they don't charge evenly, apparently.One will run out of juice way before the other one.You can put them in the case for an hour and it won't stay on..2-4hrs on for about 5 min. It seems they require at least 12-24 hrs to charge, which obviously , isn't good.FYI, I'm writing this as the right piece ran out earlier this morning, I changed it for a couple hrs,am now at the gym,put them on,got the power on msg, then the right one quit...again.2 days ago it was the left.Not cool guys.

This is now my second pair after I asked for exchanged.The audio is great. They felt good on the ear. Sometimes I would think the audio is bleeding out but it turns out the audio wasn't leaking and that is how loud on the lower settings which is awesome.Now the not so awesome. For whatever reason, trying to charge them is just too much of a hassle. I had to keep changing the position just so I can have both the ear buds charging. Sometimes, they won't be charged at all even though i can see the indicator light being on and showing me they are charging.If it wasn't for poor charging, these would easily be 5 stars for the price but unfortunately I can not do that with 2 back to back issues with charging.Also, Amazon are super anal with their return policy. I dropped off my return off to UPS and they still charged me $25 for a "return" fee.

I bought this to replace an old Bluetooth earpiece that I used with my phone. I chose this one because it can sit on my ear comfortably and doesn't go into the ear canal.Crisp, clear sound when on the phone and using for music. While it does not have a boom to close to shut it off, it does have a button you can hold down to shut it off and save battery life.Best part is you can use one and leave the other to charge or both at the same time. Great wireless range. Would purchase again.
