iLuv myBuds Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth 5.3, Built-in Microphone, 20 Hour Playtime, IPX6 Waterproof Protection, Compatible with Apple & Android, Includes Charging Case & 4 Ear Tips, TB100 Purple

I just upgraded my phone and, like many newer models, it was lacking a headphone jack for typical wired earbuds. I have a pair of wireless headphones for use at home, but on the go I like earbuds for being easy to store in my bag and less obtrusive to wear, so I went searching for options. iLuv drew me in with the decent reviews, low cost, and really cute colors. I didn't want to spend 50, 70, 100 on a pair because I wanted to test out the waters to see if wireless earbuds would even be viable--I had concerns about losing them, not remembering to keep them charged, or finding them cumbersome enough to use that I just don't. I've been using mine for a couple weeks now and it's overall been a success (I will update this review at a later date if anything goes awry or to confirm longevity if they continue to function well for months/years). Update December 2023: still work just as they did the day they arrived! Positive qualities: ✩ Very affordable, between $20-$26. ✩ The sound quality is really nice, I don't notice much difference from the over-ear skullcandy's I use on my laptop. They even get really loud. ✩ Super cute colors; the purple matches my phone case almost perfectly! ✩ Charging case is very compact and has magnets to grip the buds + keep the lid closed ✩ Battery life seems good, I haven't had to recharge my case yet. ✩ The touch controls are a nice feature I wasn't expecting in buds so cheap ✩ Pairing with my devices was no trouble at all ✩ The distance before the connection cuts was nice, I was able to go about 45 feet in the yard before the connection broke. ✩ You can replace the earbuds for $20; the company sells just the buds without a case if you find that one is damaged or has been lost, which I appreciate because it cuts down on price a little and on electronic waste by not sending a component you don't need. ✩ The customer service team on the manufacturer website was really great! I was missing the extra tips in my box, so I couldn't try on different sizes to see what fit best. I reached out and they very quickly sent me some. I was really thankful for that, so the customer service seems pretty top notch! ✩ The case has little light indicators to help you keep track of the charge. After getting a pair from a friend that lacks any indication of its charge level beyond seeing a green light when plugged in, I've come to appreciate this feature a lot for helping me know when it's time to plug in. Some aspects to keep in mind: ✗ The touch controls can be a little tricky because several share similar touches. Skipping songs/videos is two taps and pausing is one tap; if you don't tap the earbuds quite right, you can start/stop the audio instead of skipping. I also accidentally turned the volume all the way up when I tried to turn them off, which wasn't fun. So I'd say there's a bit of a learning curve on these. ✗ The earbud fit is a bit tight and I did notice some fatigue after wearing them a long time, but this wasn't necessarily unexpected given that my previous buds were wired and much smaller/lighter than ones that have extra tech stuffed in em. (Update: even after months of use, I do still get fatigue from wearing them for extended periods, so it's not really a matter of adjusting so much as it is whether your ears happen to be sensitive to extra weight.) ✗ Only the ear tips that come from iLuv allow you to actually fit the earbuds in the case and close the lid fully. Since my pair was missing the bag of extras, I tried out extras I've saved from different buds over the years and all of them were too thick for the buds to fit in far enough for the lid to close. The one's from iLuv are more flat and thin, so they fit in the limited space correctly. If you need replacements, contact the company, don't bother buying third party replacements. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase so far and I hope they have a decent life before dying or ceasing to hold a charge. I'm glad I decided to go for something more affordable than shell out for a different pair, if these manage to work good for a while, I probably won't spend money on a different pair for a long time.

I wanted to wait a while before I made a review on this and so far no issues. Firstly, I know people are probably wondering about the quality. Quality is top tier for a price like this. No audio delay, no garbage bass, and can hear everything perfectly. Dropped it in water a few times and the quality never changed. Secondly, these seem they'll last a long time. I've had these for a couple of months and I see no wear, tear. Usually cheap earbuds like these don't last long at all. I honestly bought these with a random color hoping for the best and I can say I'm going to buy more in different colors. Thirdly, I want to say these are loud. Probably not on the same level as the expensive brands, but they're loud. So if you're like me and want to block out all the annoying people or the terrible gym music then this is for you. Even if you're not that type of person you can still have the volume low and hear the music. As for the battery life, I'd advise you to have it fully charged. It does last a while without a fully charged, but having it full charged it could last for hours. As from my perspective, it doesn't feel like it lasts 20 hours of playtime like advertised, it only feels like 4 hours or so(I could be wrong since I haven't properly tested the playtime). Lastly, one negative thing I personally am disappointed about is the background noise. Wish it had didn't have that so I can record playtests without having to hear my vent, etc. So if you're looking for something to block noise while recording, this is not it. You can hear all the noise in the background of your audio recordings with these earbuds unfortunately. I don't know if TLDR; Pros - Very good quality Loud Good durability Decent battery life Waterproof Cons- Can hear background noise when recording audio I'm no earbud expert so don't expect a depth review. I'm just pointing out the stuff I noticed.

Got these for a good price. Easy to use. Wife loves the many colors and easy operation.
