Sound Quality

These wireless earphones will give you an experience of powerful HD sound and deep boosted bass while listening to your favorite music genre. Pair them to your smartphone and start using them. To do this, simply power them on and they’ll immediately go into "pairing" mode. The mid and high tones are excellent, but the low tones are a little disappointing. This means that the bass isn’t as strong, and powerful as this brand claims.

One great feature is that you can connect 2 devices at a time. Be it a laptop and mobile together. When listening to music on a laptop, if u get a call, it switches to mobile, this switch between device is not great but again at this price it’s a commendable additional feature.

Each earbud boasts a magnetic field which is a nice feature since the wire is to be worn around the backside of your neck. When you wear these, the magnets can clasp together and create a necklace.

There is an inline controller on the wire. It also has three buttons, an integrated microphone with a micro-USB charging port. The "plus" button turns up the volume or skips to the next track whereas the "minus" adjusts the volume down or skips to the previous track.

The middle "circle" button is the multi-function button. This can be used for answering calls, turning the power on/off, or activating voice-controlled smartphone assistants like Siri, Google Now, and Cortana.
