      I got it for 2299 rupees (around 29 usd), and for that price, I think these are absolutely amazing products.

          When will they be available to buy in the UK?

You're thinking of the BT20S Pro, which is the higher end model with AptX support. I know, it doesn't make sense if the module is more expensive, that's why I suggested the cheaper version, the BT20XS. Either way it's a good investment for those with an IEM hobby.

Personally think you're wasting your money and convenience to use $70+ BT adapters on some $20 earbuds... And at that point, the reason for crazy audiophiles to have a wired connection is to satisfy their need (and sometimes placebo effect) for a direct connection where the sound is unobstructed by digital wireless. If you're going to use the BT20 on wire buds, suggest one to use them on something worthwhile.

                        I appreciate the detailed sound analysis, on par with most reviews from dedicated IEM/TWS sites.

                        The only good thing about these buds is the ANC. Would make a great earplug than an earbud.

You pay over $60 USD for mediocre in-ear earphones when much better overhead headphones like the Anker Life Q30 and 1More SonoFlow are available on AliExpress for LESS. The difference in sound quality and materials is indescribable, and the software and tuning options are also light-years ahead.

                          TLDR; This is manufactured e-waste sold at a heavily inflated rate, and it's a perfect example of today's blind consumerism.

So simply, the case has 28 hours of spare battery charging + 11 hours of music playback. If the 11 hours comes from ANC being DISABLED and 6 hours only with ANC turned on (there is an article typo saying "disabled" twice), then I wonder what the case's battery hour rating would be for ANC enable. Since "39 hours total" is presumed to be ANC disabled (and boasted for marketing reasons).

                                  Every brand just copies airpods design. What a shame. Can't they release something different? Look what Sony or Bose are doing. Pretty good.

                                    The case doesn't have battery? I see no mention of how many times it can be recharged via case. The mentioned 11h and 6h are the only figures, so is that it?

                                      wireless earbuds are only good in looks. not much in sound๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ unless you have to spend more, you'll pretty much get the sound equivalent to cheap In ear monitors.

                                        The actual earbud looks quite a bit like the Nord Buds 2 right?
