5.0 out of 5 starsVery high quality bluetooth earbuds for music
Reviewed in Canada on November 17, 2020
I purchased this pair of Monster earbuds mainly for the purpose of working out and running. It really does the job.
a) In terms of the sound quality and bass level, I am quite impressed. Well, it is made by Monster. The sound is crispy and clear enough for me to hear all the detail while working out or jogging.
b) Noise cancellation is quite good for preventing a certain level of external unwanted sound/noises.
c) Comfort level is great while the earbuds can sit tied properly within my ears. In addition, they are IPX5 water resistant, which are adequately protected from sweating and rain drop. Compared to some over $200 big brand competitors on market, I think these earbuds offer a better performance for sport usage.
d) Fancy looking for both the charging case and earbuds. The earbuds' indicator lights are in a shape of halo, which are quite unique and eye catching. The case is also quite portable.
e) Battery can hold long enough for at least 4 hours of music playback and 2+ hour of talking, combing the power on both earbuds and case. The carrying case itself can charge the earbuds while not using. To charge the earbuds & case, there is a USB-C cable, which greatly enhance the charging speed.
f) Connection/syncing to the earbuds is very easy from the phone or other devices supporting bluetooth. This product supports bluetooth 5.0, so the sound delay is non-significant. I don't have any issue while streaming videos and music, meaning there is almost no delay on the video playback. Since I am not a gamer, I am quite interested to see other's comment on how it performs. The signal range of the earbuds is also very strong. I can listen to my music without any problem while my phone is on a different floor.
Lastly, there is still some room for improvement. For instance, I found the build-in mic tent to pick up lower volume while I am speaking in certain environment. My friend who's on the other side of the line has mentioned to me that I need to speak louder sometimes. Other than this issue, I think this product is closed to perfect. Hopefully the manufacturer will improve that in their future products.
