    Honestly, after having used these for 2.5 years, I have zero complaints when you can often find them for ~$50-$60. On a really good sale, ~$40.
    My mom loved the pair I got her so much that she just got the, "petite" model for $40 on sale with a coupon this week and she loves them too.
    They are a niche use product and you are completely right about not being able to use them in public. In the car and around the house, they are amazing.

      Damn 2.5 yrs thats actually good, but at what point do you feel the battery life shortened? if these had easy replaceable internal battery this would have been so good, I bought one today and I do like them, just worried about battery life in the long run.

    • @Rufsam24
      @Rufsam24 Рік тому

      @@maimaibiri9045 I haven't noticed the battery degrade at all. I'm sure it isn't as good as brand new but it lasts a very long time on a single charge and I have never used it from full to depleted on a single use so I can't really compare the two. All I can say is that there is no noticable degradation

    Just won a set of these off BIDFTA for $13.16.
    Charged them after opening, & have been using them ever sense while unboxing & assembling my auction wins from today. Absolutely awesome sound quality. I've watched a movie, listened to some music, & have them on now while watching this video.
    I can't stand in ear headphones, nor earbuds. And over the ear headphone aren't always convenient to wear.
    I usually have a Bluetooth speaker around while working, but if i change locations it's not always possible to hear said speaker, unless I take it with me. Not always possible with hands full.
    This monster speaker is perfect for me.
    It goes where I go & doesn't affect ability to work.
    Wife won a set of earbuds before I won the monster set.
    I was using them while feeding our livestock, & the kept falling out onto the ground.
    That's a pain, & I won't be using them anymore.

      I just bought these at a local auction house and stole them for the price I paid. Crisp sound, movies do sound great with them for sure. Not something I was ever looking for but when I saw them I snuck in and got them cheap. I think after taxes they were $18 which is a steal compared to the $99 pricetag on Amazon.

      I love mine so much I won a second set at auction. That way I have 1 charged when the other runs down.
      The second 1 is same manufacturer but not as quality of sound as the first.
      The cheaper version controls are on the top right. The more expensive controls are on the right side.

    Just got mine and the sound quality is for me great! I tested it on my PC, Switch, Phone, and Steam Deck. I can literally feel the bass in my shoulder blades, which is fun! I didn't really notice the lag in my games, its latency is even better than AirPods pro to my experience.
    I was initially hesitant to get this one due to the comments about audio limiting but I have yet to experience that (partly because I'm not really an expert in audio technicalities so maybe it's in there just that I don't know it's already there if you know what i mean) So far everything I listened to sounded great and I'm satisfied with the overall quality of the lows mids and highs.
    P.S. I really, really regret buying that Hori Surround 3D surround gaming neck set -- that thing sounded SO bad I'm even ashamed to resell it even at half its price haha
