SoundPEATSBreezy Open Ear Headphones, 40Hrs Playtime, 90° Adjustable Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth 5.4 Earphones, 12mm Drivers, 4 Mics with AI Call Noise Canceling

For $10 WTF are people complaining about? Every earhook-style earbuds should have this type of moveable hinge, but these cheapo ones are the FIRST I've had. *Really nice feature!*"Open ear" means there's no earbud that sticks into your ear canal, if you wear earbuds a lot it's a nice switch. They rest very lightly on your ears which is both good & bad. The movement/adjustability of the earbud is actually too free, they can move pretty easily after setting them in place, but other than that, and a pretty short battery life (6-8hrs) they are loud, clear, sound great, and you can flip them all the way out of your ears so that you can hear the world around you while still enjoying your audio.You may have never heard of Soundpeats, but they've been around for a long time and are pretty solid compared to the other jumble-of-letters Chinese companies that pop up every week on Amazon.Think a lot of the bad reviews came from people who didn't bother to check them out before ordering. Or maybe if you want these for jogging or the gym they might not be the best option, but ffs, for $10? They're great.(For $10 - If I don't like them I keep them in my backpack and give them to the next annoying jerk that is playing their phone's speakers at full volume in public! It is WORTH IT for the appreciation you get from everyone else in that situation with you!)

They are okay. The rotating mechanism is cool and different for an open ear bt earphone set but the sound quality is not excellent, a bit airy and gritty and lacking mids and bass, not sibilant, but with software equalization they could maybe sound like the ksc75s, and probably fine for people with quieter listening preferences for acoustic type music or videos focused on speech.

Left earbud wouldn't turn on or charge. I gave up after installing two different apps that each required a different account. I regret wasting time on researching this brand and troubleshooting these earbuds. The one ear that worked sounded fine, but I'm going to stick with bigger brands from now on. My time is worth more than the few dollars I would have saved.

I got these to try out after daily driving the Soundcore V30i for ~10 months and also trying out the Tozo Openbuds.The good: The case looks cool and the headphones themselves are visually unique, and the action of the lid feels the most solid of the three while still being the most compact. The usb-c plug isn't recessed so even if you only have a right-angle cable on hand, it'll fit right in. They're comfortable and light, and the adjustability is helpful without being too fiddly. They pair easily, and seem to report their battery level to the OS well enough from what I've seen. They don't have any of the fancy fast pair dialogs or anything, but neither do the others.The hmm: While nothing is playing, there's a bit of a hiss or steady crackle noise that starts up eventually. It's like there's some amount of energy flowing through the speakers at all times. You also need to register an account to use the app. The app itself is pretty slow and designed a little weird, but it gets the job done. I just opened the app to test, and it prompted me to enter in my amazon order number to extend the warranty, but the text input box was glitched out and I couldn't actually type anything into it. But there is some good here: There's a full 8-band EQ as well as some presets, and the headphones noticeably respond to it. There's a full suite of touch controls: single tap, double, triple, 1.5s long press; and all possible controls are available on all of them. The notifications are a bit of a mixed bag, some of them are voice ("connect") while others are compressed-sounding pings. The voice has different language options (en/zh/de/ja), which is a useful touch. The volume slider for the notifications specifically is also helpful and needed because they're way too loud by default.The bad: No matter what you do with the EQ, they always sound hollow and small. It's all highs, no lows. Whether it's orchestra, rock, edm, metal, funk, punk or even just an audiobook, nothing really sounds *good* on these. That's not to say they're as bad as something like the delta airlines dirty buds - everything's still all kind of there. If all you want from music is for it to be music-shaped and not silent, then I guess these are... fine. But the other two open earbuds I've used absolutely thrash these as far as sound goes: if the Openbuds are 10/10, the V30i are like 9.5 and these are at best a 6 or 7 after thorough EQ. The other killer is the actual operation of the touch controls: they're flexible, yes, but they're lethargic. They take something like two seconds to respond to any touches even if you have only single-tap controls set, sometimes you need to try a few times to actually find the touch area (exacerbated by the input lag), and the pling sound it uses to notify an action being taken is long enough to block out some of the music you've just skipped to or unpaused.I haven't settled to using these headphones long enough to really speak towards battery life. I've heard a lot of good things about this company's products, so it's a brand worth keeping an eye on, but these ain't it. Will have to see if they eventually come out with a v2 or something.Update: bumped from 2 stars to 3 after some back-and-forth with their support. They sent a second unit in case the first was defective, that turned out to not be the case and they ended up just refunding it, but they do seem like they're genuinely trying to do the best they can. The controls are still eh but the sound signature could be down to preference, I assume there are people out there that do like a really bright sound. Be aware that there is a separate base EQ on/off switch on a different screen from all the EQ settings themselves. Still a company to watch.

I need another wireless earbud set and based on my favorite set of wireless earbuds, I looked up the SoundPEATS brand and found these SoundPEATS Breezy Open Ear Headphones for a truely amazing price. They work great, like my other SoundPEATS wireless earbuds. These go over the ear, so I have no worry of them making my ears itch, like almost all do and the sound is very good. My only complain is that it is very hard to get this hard, smooth, roundish case to open and then it is difficult to initially figure out how the headphones fit in the case to recharge, especially if you don't pay attention when they are first removed. However, I can hear everything going on in the room without removing even one headphone. This fact could be good or bad, if you don't like being distracted or like being able to hear a phone ring or your name being called, I fall in that latter category, so I enjoy the over the ear function.
