Customer Reviews

One customer wrote: 'And I was flying that night, so I could not imagine a flight without them. A quick search on Amazon brought me to these. Great reviews and a sale price! I was in. Ordered right away. It arrived at my door by 4pm. Charged by 6pm. At the airport by 9pm. Watching a movie a short time later on board! Very happy customer.'

Another said: 'Sound quality-wise, I am amazed! Lag is almost zero, and sound reproduction is as good as my $300 over the ear headphones. The app to control the equaliser works flawlessly and changes output to the earbuds on the fly. For the price I paid, it is absolutely an incredible value.'

A third reviewer commented: 'Excellent value for money. A great sound and battery life, which is above its price range.'

Minor Criticisms

Some users noted a lack of charge level display on the case. One said: 'In terms of sound quality, connectivity, comfort and battery life, these earbuds are great. My one niggle is that there's no indication of how much charge is left in them. My other earbuds have a digital display on the case, which shows how much charge is left. It would be better to just have a display on the case.'

Another added: 'It was great value and useful to keep its charge, unfortunately, there is no window showing how much percentage is left.'

Alternatives and Availability

For an alternative, shoppers can grab Apple Airpods ANC with USB-C Charging Case for £169 from Argos. Currys offers JBL Wave Flex 2 Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds for £49.99. The Soundcore earbuds come in four colours, are water- and sweat-resistant, and have touch controls. They are available now on Amazon.
