Tribit Wireless Earbuds, Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth 5.0 Earbuds with Deep Bass ENC 4 Microphone, Smart Touch Control, 35 Hours Playtime for Work/Home/Office, FlyBuds NC, Black (BTHA1)

The earbuds arrived well packaged. The manufacturer's packaging itself is so well done and solid, they could slap a mailing label and postage on their box and I'm sure the buds would arrive in fine condition.As others have mentioned both the earbuds themselves as well as the charging case arrived with a decent charge (mine were reading about 90%) so there was no wait time to dig and get them paired to see how they worked.Pairing was a breeze. Remove the little plastic insulation from the charging points, place it in my ear and open the BT on my phone, my iPad, my Chromebook. Each device promptly displayed the TriBit logo and seamlessly connected to the earbuds.Sound quality of music played from my iPad was very good. They claim to have excellent bass and while it was good, don't expect a sub woofer. Highs were clear and distinct.Capacitive touch controls work well once you remember the number of taps for each function. Voice prompts help you select the proper ANC mode. ANC seems to work fine but I wasn't able to generate a really noisy situation to test them fully. Due to not being able to give the ANC the "acid" test, I only allowed that function 4 stars. I know that it works but just how well remains to be seen. ANC, like tonal quality, is fairly subjective anyway so my 4 stars might be someone else's 5 stars or even 2 stars.Paired with my Samsung Galaxy S10+ audio reception was very clear and my voice transmission was also clear. An interesting thing is that I found you can use EITHER the right or left earbud as a standalone device with the phone if you wish. No need for stereo, but what the use as a mono device means is that you actually have DOUBLE the stated battery times when using it as a mono earbud for the phone. Theoretically giving you 20 hours or so of time without the need to recharge the buds and a whopping 70 hours of use before needing to recharge the charging case.I admit that I was a bit leery about the lack of a volume control on these buds but in practice I don't think that it is a big deal. I pretty much set my listening volume at the device and let it go at that.The ear tips are comfortable and seem ready to hold fast even if you're using these while exercising. The description doesn't do the product justice as they claim to provide five pair of ear tips. In actuality you get six pair as there is a pair already installed on the earbuds plus five additional pair.I noticed that some reviewers commented on the finish of the earbuds and the charging case indicating that it will show fingerprints. Really? C'mon, folks. If you're that anal about finger prints, clean the PBJ off your hands before you use them. Both the case and the buds have a smooth matt black finish and I can't for the life of me find a reason to complain about the finish.Bottom line is you get a great product at a nice price!

These fly buds have a great sound. They get used at least 5 days per week and we haven’t had any problems.

I have been on (what seems like) an endless quest to find the "perfect" earbud. I have tried several types (over ear, in ear, ambient aware), and they have ALL had their drawbacks from my standpoint. For full disclosure, I WANT to be able to hear my surroundings and NOT have the plugged in feeling that earbuds typically provide. I had a previous pair of wireless earbuds that were over 3 times the price of these. They were great, but the drawback was when I had them in my ears, I was not aware at all of anything around me. While that is good for most people, I want the ability to be able to hear ambient noise. Plus, I had the constant "plugged in" feeling with the earbuds in my ear. I had a pair of "ambient aware" totally wireless headphones, and the battery life was atrocious. I have been hearing about the "pass-through" or "ambient mode" on earbuds, and had searched all over to see if I could get an example of how that sounds (with no luck). I had a pair of Tribit over-ear headphones, and they sounded great at a cheap price, but were heavy. So I came across these.... they seemed to check all the boxes that I was looking for, and were on sale for $30. So I pulled the trigger.First, the earbud tips that come in the box were horrible. They are very shallow, and definite ear wax collectors. But, remember my earbud quest? I was not short on tips, and used ones from my previous headphones. So no problem there anymore. The sound was very mid- heavy, but I am picky about sound and had purchased an excellent equalizer app on the Play Store (Eqfy), and adjusted it. Wow. So now these sound as good as the buds that I had that were over 3 times the price. Next, I cycled through the noise cancellation, ambient on and ambient off modes. Noise cancellation gives me a sensation of pressure in my ears and drowns out some sounds. I can still hear kids yelling, but not when they are just talking in random conversation. I do not hear the background hum of the fridge, the fan on the computer, etc. I imagine there are better options out there, but honestly, I will use this feature probably only when I cut grass. Next, with the ambient on mode, I hear everything with the earbuds in and music off. Weirdly, I do not feel the plugged in feeling of earbuds with them. It might be a false sensation from being able to hear the hum of the fridge or the fan on the computer. However, as music volume goes up, I lose the ambient noise. I did try these while running, and was able to hear cars approaching from behind and dogs barking. But, I did catch a lot of wind noise. Overall, I like it and it serves it's purpose. Just don't expect to be able to have your music on AND carry out a normal conversation. It does it's job, and increases your situational awareness. Lastly, the ambient off is just standard buds in your ears mode.However, there are certain drawbacks. There is not a volume option on the earbud itself. I knew this going in and didn't think it would be a big deal. However, as I start getting further in to runs, I tend to crank up the music more for additional motivation. I wear a Garmin and do still carry my phone with me in an armband. The way my Garmin is set up, I do not think there is an option for me to control my volume with the buttons without pausing the workout, and accessing the armband is a little tricky. Maybe I'll figure out a method, but it would be a little nice to have an option to increase or decrease volume on the headphone itself.The next gripe I have is there is not an on/off switch (or one that I have seen so far) on these earbuds. To turn off, you have to put in the charging case. I'm not a fan of that, as I do want battery drain to cycle through every now and then. So to solve that, I disconnect them from my phone and let them sit out of the case. I believe they auto-turn off after a certain amount of time.So all-in-all, GREAT earbuds with a few drawbacks. However, for the price, they are definitely a GREAT option, especially when combined with an equalizer on whatever device you are using.
