"My first foray into totally wireless earbuds"


          

So...for the record, I'm not really an earbud person. They just don't work well, for me. I rock over the ear joints (cans) and something with an ear hook. My curiosity was peaked when I saw a pop-up ad for these:
https://www.bose.com/en_us/products/headphones/earphones/soundsport-free-wireless.html

A lot of digging and research and reading reviews led me to decide on these:
https://www.jabra.com/bluetooth-headsets/jabra-elite-65t/long?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIw8qhuqSa3gIVy5-zCh3cGwf6EAAYAiAAEgKHJ_D_BwE

But...goofing around with my son in the electronics department at Walmart, I saw these:
https://www.jlabaudio.com/products/jbuds-air-true-wireless-earbuds-charging-case

I was like:
https://i.makeagif.com/media/10-25-2015/JOqSsL.gif
for $50 bucks, even if they are trash...I can rock with them or return em real quick. So, I copped. Then I went home and read all the reviews I could find on em...and they got really decent reviews. One of the knocks I kept seeing was they are base-heavy and the low, mids, blah, blah, blah. I am not an audiophile. Plus, I use headphones for walking, biking or lifting. I love bass in headphones...even to the point of being a bit muddy. I have given headphones away for not having enough bass.
So, I go ahead and set em up...(super easy), throw on some Lupe and...they sound really good. They've got three preset equalizer settings. They come with little rubber fins that you can leave on or off and a few different sizes of ear tips. It says the charge time is 3.5 hours for the buds and 10.5 for the charging case. I wore them around the house doing chores for a couple of hours. They were pretty comfortable and didn't once feel like they might come out. One thing I didn't like right off was the little USB plug in that's made onto the charging case is like 3 inches long. I fixed that easily by copping a 3ft USB extender off Amazon for $5. Haven't used these at the gym, yet, but I'm hyped for tomorrow morning. I'll update with more after a few actual workouts. I still may get the Jabra joints...they are markedly better, feature-wise and I've seen them on Ebay new for way less than retail.

32
                     That's the thing - they would get charged in the case during lunch.
Oct 23rd 2018
35
                          sounds reasonable
Oct 23rd 2018
36
                               I’m guessing on how often you’d need to charge the case.
