Not much of a review writer, but I spent days agonizing over buying these vs something more expensive. Hopefully this will help someone stress less 👍

TLDR: Just try them. Get them as a gift even! These are far past anyone’s expectations of $20 head huggers!!!

Now… (for longevity, just know I’ve had these since mid December and use them daily)

————————————
These are so great… hands down. They aren’t gonna blow you away as they are only $20-23’s, but I also have SkullCandy Crushers evo, Apple AirPod pro 2s, and random other wired buds and THESE are by far my favorite.

Pros:
-1 I can wear these 24/7. They are feather light; not in a cheaply-made way, but in a very intentional way. I can actually FORGET I have these on. Really. The AirPods hurt after several hours or even start to slide out. My Crushers literally hurt just to put them on and I have a tiny head! But THESE!!! They are such a joy to wear!!!

-2 The Bluetooth connection just WORKS! I cannot understand how THESE headphones accomplish this when Apple and SC cannot!
Apple pairs fine, but then randomly starts playing sound from another device all the time. Messing with settings is irritating and still it just starts playing audio from random iOS drives in the house! On the other hand, the Crushers have to be cleared in order to connect to a new device. Every time. I almost sent them back cause I assumed they were broke, but no. Apple struggles with it and you have to “forget the device” every single time you want to say, go from your phone to an iPad (then back again). It’s madness. Some big brain thought this was a good idea.. These $20 ones; you power them on and BAM it connects and STAYS connected! If it doesn’t automatically connect, I just tap the name and it’s instant. 🤯

-3 The mic is fantastic. I’ve only used it in my home, but ppl tell me it’s crystal clear.

-4 The easy eq on the side! No apps to download etc. just push it and it cycles through predetermined settings. And these settings actually make a diff. If you want to listen to an instrumental track, don’t leave it in “bass” setting cause you will automatically think it’s the headphones and they are garbage. NO! Shame on you for blaming them lol

-5 I’m not sure how to describe it as I’m not knowledgeable in audio devices (audiophile?), but what I also love about these is the spacial depth of sound. Some music just has the ability to surround you with these things in a way no other devices does. Even the AirPods with “spacial audio” can’t seem to replicate these “vast” atmospheric sounds at times. Of course this also relies heavily on the audio, but wow.

-6 They fold so well. At first you might think, these things are flipping around everywhere and going to break.. nope. They just effortlessly fold in on themselves. I am rough on headphones too as a busy mom. They get tossed in my giant mom-backpack daily with no case or cover, squished between iPads etc and they are holding up like a champ!

-7 I clean house in them for hours in the day and make/take calls as well. Not once have I received a low battery warning. They also have USB-C!!!!! For $20 I wouldn’t have expected that, and they charge incredibly fast.

-8 The price. Omg the price lol I just spent more than $20 at McDonald’s.

-9 They come packaged SO nice. It’s no iOS unboxing experience, but ordering anything online has me jaded lately. I fully expected these to just be in a plain box with some Chinese wording, with lots of bubble wrap, but no. It comes in a simple, well made, cardboard cube, but it has bright colors and a presentation value that’s hard to get online with cheap electronics.

-10 the giant L/R on the inside! I never realized how many times I have flipped headphones and ear buds all around to figure out which was left ear and which was right. I never even knew I needed this in my life! It’s just another little detail that they didn’t HAVE to even bother with, but the details on these things seemed to matter to the designer and/or company.

CONS:
-1 They don’t get loud enough for me. Going from AirPods shooting sound waves into my ear canal and Crushers literally made to rattle from bass, directly to these can be frustrating as I have to just put them on max volume immediately. Is it a drastic volume issue? Absolutely not in my opinion. It’s just the ONE thing for me keeping these from being a god-tier S++++++ rating. Hell, this might even be considered a PRO feature, as I’m sure all my other devices are chipping away at my hearing one day at a time…

-2 There IS no second con lol seriously.

Conclusion:
I have a white pair, bought my husband the black pair and am about to purchase my teen a pair. THAT is how much I love these and why I just HAD to write a literal essay about the brand.

These headphones are great! I’ve had them for a little over a month now, and they performed better than I expected!

FUNCTIONS: For $20 bucks you can’t really beat these. Once you connect it to a device via bluetooth, it will remember those devices and automatically connect to them anytime you turn on the headphones (I believe this only works for up to 2 devices). For example, if I’m working on my iPad and also have my iPhone with me, when I turn on the headphones it will automatically start playing the audio of whichever device I’m currently on (as long as they’re connected to the headphones via bluetooth). If I’m listening to a video on my iPad with the headphones, then pause the video and go on my iPhone to watch a different video, I don’t have to switch anything on the headphones!!! They’ll just automatically switch over to the phone’s audio (I believe this function only works for up to 2 devices, because I find that if I’m working on my iPhone+iPad+Macbook, I have to disconnect from one of the two currently connected devices in order to connect to the third device’s audio). I’m also able to take phone calls through the headphones since it has a built-in microphone. Honestly for $20 bucks, I did NOT expect this level of functionality!!! Haha.

FIT: I haven’t faced any issues with the fit of the headphones, they’ve been quite comfortable for long-term wear. They’re very lightweight which is wonderful when trying to avoid fatigue and pain. They’re snug but not too tight, and they also have an adjustable strap so you can lengthen them to fit over your ears as needed. I personally try not to be too rough with them since I know $20 can only go so far, and I have seen other reviews of people who faced issues with the quality of the ear padding and such, so my advice would be to just be as gentle as possible with the headphones when taking them on/off or adjusting. I personally don’t workout with them and primarily use them in a home/office setting, so I can’t speak on the quality once sweat or rapid movements/motion comes into play, which I know for some people would be an important factor to consider!

SOUND: Again, for $20 bucks this can’t be beat haha. The sound clarity/quality is great, and much better than I expected for the price. You can also change the equalizer with the click of a button which is really nice (it has a certain number of options, I can’t remember how many). I would NOT call these headphones completely soundproof or noise cancelling, because you are still able to hear quite a bit of environmental sound, unless you’re blasting the volume… which I wouldn’t recommend haha. The headphones do drown out a lot of environmental noise, but again, NOT necessarily soundproof/noise cancelling in comparison to other higher priced headphones. Another important thing to note: whatever you’re listening to can most likely be heard a bit by people around you. Unfortunately these headphones DON’T isolate the audio very well (unless the volume is very low)…so if you’re in a quiet library around others or a place that requires silence, this could likely be an issue!

I hope this review was helpful! Overall, these are definitely GREAT headphones for the price!!!

Durability is good, easy to set up, color isn’t the pink I wanted, performance is a 7.5/10. For the price the quality makes sense. They get the job done as far as being headphones and blocking most noises. Long lasting battery is something I really love about this product.
