Great for the price, but controls could improve
Good sound quality, amazing battery life and love the size, it's really amazing for this price. Doesn't fall out while workouts or running. But personally I don't like the fit, it mutes out the surroundings, which is nice at the gym, but if someone tries to talk to you, you don't hear a thing.Which brings me to the problems. When you take one earbud out, that one still plays music and responds to touch functions too. The audio controls can get annoying, left to increase and right to decrease. I wish I could slide up and down. And sometimes if I double tap it doesn't recognize anything the first time, I have to repeat it for it to respond.But other than that it's a perfect device for the price. I think some of this can be fixed with a software update, if they can do that, that would be amazing and easily 5 stars. If we could customize the controls, that'd be lit too

They’re Alright
I bought these as temporary replacements for when my raycon run out of battery and I didn’t bring the charger with me to work (I work 12 hr shifts) and I’m starting to regret not having just bought another pair of raycon.The audio quality is alright but they are uncomfortable and constantly slip out of my ear. The touch controls are annoying, I wish I had paid attention to this before buying them. It’s hard to adjust your earbud without also accidentally raising/lowering the volume or triggering bixby/google/siri. I wish I could get a refund on this to be honest, they’re so uncomfortable after a while and they hurt when you pull them out. I’ve tried all of the sizing caps that came with it and it honestly feels like there wasn’t a different between any of them.Also, I tend to have an oily face and hair and these earbuds get so easily greasy and it makes it gross and handle. You could ask, “Well why don’t you wash your hair and face often?” But my Raycons don’t feel like this at all and I use those a lot more often!

Better than I could have imagined.
For Christmas I was given an over-the-head wireless earphone set, but returned it within days because the sound was muffled like I was underwater; and the more the battery drained the worse the sound became, with the battery lasting for 3-4 hours only at a stretch. I spend a lot of time on the computer and wear earphones for the duration so I can converse, receive voicemails, etc; so this set was not acceptable.I decided to give these earbuds a try as they were very reasonable, but wasn't optimistic about what my experience might be. One week into using them now, and I love them! I can use just one, or two if I need noise cancellation; the sound quality is what I was used to with wired earphones, and the battery life is . . . . well, I don't know; I've yet to run out of juice. I can charge the holding case while wearing the phones, and just put them in the case when I'm not using the computer; the arrangement is perfect for my needs. I've seen the prices on similar earbuds from Apple, etc., and I'm delighted that the quality of this set seems very comparable. And the internal mic works great as well!

Customer service A++
As far as listening to music - wonderful! They have nice sound I can’t hear anyone talking to me when I have them in. Because they are so tiny no one realizes I have them in and they talk away.I was however hoping to be able to use them for talking as well. When these are on I can never hear the person on the other end. I always have to switch to using my phone or speaker because of this. So I haven’t decided if I will keep them or not. I really don’t want to have to have 2 different sets one for music/podcasts and one for talking. I’m not sure if it’s just my set but I am bummed about this. That is the only reason I gave 3 stars.UPDATE: The company reached out to me and offered their new model “ELITE” earbud. That deserves 5 stars itself! I have used the ELITE and they work perfect!I prefer the design of the original ones that are small and hide in your ear but ELITE is much better for others to hear you on the phone. Both offer great sound. I would definitely recommend these earbuds and this company!

Solid value but call quality needs improvement.
I have galaxy buds+ and buds live. They are great, but I wanted a cheaper alternative for walking on a rainy day with no worry about ruining my $100+ buds. Compared to the buds+, these BoLTuNes actually sound louder and better! Too bad they don't have ambient mode, so I can't turn the volume up while I'm walking. Battery life is great, but the buds+ are unmatched. That being said, I have never killed the batteries while walking or just running errands.Compared to the buds live, I prefer the live's lively and punchy sound profile. These kill the lives in Bluetooth stability though. The Lives constantly cut in and out, making it very frustrating to listen to when on the go.Now the bad part: microphone quality is terrible. Whenever I talk to someone, they say I sound like I'm underwater. The buds+ are really good, and the Lives are good in mic quality.Get these if you want good buds for listening, but don't need to make lots of calls.

Only had them in for 1 hour...
....and these are awesome! Perhaps it is a bit premature to write a product review but first impressions are extremely positive. But to give you context, I have been in the market for wireless earbuds for the last 6months, as I had lost some wired bluetooth ear phones, and not having a good enough solution in the iphone earphones to stay in properly when I'm running.This is my first pair of truly wireless earbuds, and even though I was looking at Airpods and the Jabras, I just couldn't justify the cost for what I was looking to have them for, the criteria being the following:Must Have - Good solid fit in the ear for runningCould Have - Good quality soundNice to Have - Clear call quality from both endsFor the price, you really can't moan. The packaging is primitive, but it is to be expected and simple to unbox. Instructions are simple to follow, and I went with charging the case with the Earbuds inside until the white light at the front was solid to indicate fully charged (I feel it is good to condition the batteries to full charging capacity)When you take the Earbuds out, and look on the phone bluetooth menu, they show up straight away and you're able to pair straight off the bat with your smart device (in this case, my iphone)I've got really awkward ears, especially my right ear to which the ear canal is shorter and narrower than the left. Changing the rubber dome to small on the right and keeping the standard medium sized dome on the left was the winning combo and they stay in my ears with a solid seal and no danger of it moving out! I would imagine with prolonged, undisturbed use, that my ears might become a bit sore but surely that is the case for most ear buds right? Fit was a must have, and I am currently very satisfied.First impressions with music sound quality is that you have nothing to be disappointed about, the bass is smooth and clarity of the vocals is lush. I have an eclectic taste in music so was able to test genres from metal, electronica, soul and acoustic, and all sound really nice. I think listening to the more expensive brands, you might benefit from cleaner bass (Jabra are great for making bass more dynamic without being overly boomy like SkullCandy for example). Testing the volume to its loudest (well as loud as I can bear) and quietest and there doesn't seem to be much of a diminishing in quality so it balances out the audio really well in my opinion. You really can't knock these for the price that you pay for them. A happy customer in this department!I had to call someone to check out the call audio, on both my side and the receiving end. Called my mum and left my phone in the kitchen, closed the door the living room and asked her to give me a review on how I sounded. She said that I sounded like i was perhaps in a bit of a hall, my voice reverberated in the room a little but not enough so that she struggled to hear (we think that she has an onset of hearing loss, though not done anything about as yet!) and I didn't need to repeat anything that was said, AND she was on the landline which isn't always the best for phone audio. I heard her completely fine. And when facetiming the wife, she came through nice and clear also. Something that is a nice to have, but again very good. One thing I will be interested in is when I'm out and about, where there will be much more environmental noise, so perhaps I can add to that at a later date.I think I've had a complete steal here, a solid build for the ear buds, the case is somewhat a "you get what you pay for" but I wanted these for the functionality and fit of the ear buds. If you are in the camp of wanting the finishing touches on the material, build, apps and brand, then maybe look to the B&O Beoplays, Jabra 75t Actives or Airpod Pros and pay that premium price. I was in the camp of wanting something affordable, functional and no frills. But with that I got great quality sound, solid fit and buyer's satisfaction!

Good value audio for the price!
I use these earphones when out walking and riding. They're surprisingly comfortable to wear and the audio quality is pretty good! Battery life seems to last a long time between charges, and I like how easily they pair with my iphone. The moment you open the Boltune earphone box, the earphones wake up from sleep mode and begin pairing. I like how small and compact these are, and they fit in your pocket with ease. The earphones don't weigh very much so you hardly notice when you're wearing them, and also they block out a lot of the world noise around you which is good for audio books. Overall, a great product for the price!

These got me back into listening to music again!
For a while, I got a little bored with listening to music, since getting these smart earbuds I've been back on the music game, looking for all my favourite tunes to bring an updated album together.They arrive in nice packaging in the neat little charge up box, in which holds the sleak looking earbuds.Easy to connect, open the box & the bluetooth will enter pairing mode automatically, which is then ready to your device and connect to.After having a little wiggle around to get the earphones in a comfortable position, the sound is really quite surprising. First thing I noted was a gentle sense of noise cancelling while the earphones wern't playing music. It's probably just them blocking out the sound. They come with two different sizes if they don't fit snuggly in your ear, I like the biggest o-rings.When you've got them properly placed, they sound absolutely fantastic, I would never guess they would be a cheap item considering the looks & power, they excell in both the midrange tones to the bass and make listening to music a joy with very little discomfort since they're so lightweight & you're not battling with frustrating cables. They're absolutely perfect for travel. The mic quality is a little poor, but you can still have a decent hands free conversation.I love the touch screen feature which allows you to swipe up on the right earphone to increase the volume and swipe down on the left earphone to turn the volume down. Simly pressing either earphone once also pauses your audio which is very useful. Never been let down by the design, quality and performance of a Boltune product.The battery life seems perfect, not only do they charge while they're docked up in the case, but they remain charged for a good 6 hours without having to dock or recharge them in the case.

Really nice, love the USB C charger.
I wasn't going to bother writing a review as there are literally loads of good, well written reviews already. However when I received the earbuds there was a card in it stating that the seller will send a voucher for reviews. I don't like that and I feel it can lead to very misleading information. For that reason, and without taking up the voucher offer, I offer you my views.The initial impression is good. The case is mallet than I expected, and the build quality is fine. The little hinge is solid and the magnetic catch really good.The pods drop in effortlessly and they are also held in by a small magnet, fitting and sitting perfectly.The ear buds are not the smallest I've seen, but they do fit well. I used the slightly larger rubber grommets, there are a few to chose from, and the fit is great.I have used mine in my van, and they have been great. It takes a but of getting used to the noise cancelling, so I've been just popping one in when I get a call.It's easy to open the box, get a pod out and pop it in, the phone detects this and connects the audio really quickly.I've also used in the gym, and was a bit sceptical about whether they would stay on, particularly on the treadmill. They do, and they don't get affected by sweat.I really like the touch controls. That works well, especially the volume control which was missing from the other ear buds we tried. This feature is really handy. I have been able to control the volume, start and stop audio and skip tracks by tapping the ear. This can be a bit of a pain if you accidentally touch the ear bud, or push it in a bit and it makes a control. But that's not often so not a deal breaker for me.I'm terms of sound quality, I'd say it's pretty good. I'm not a that knowledgeable or informed it this area, but for calls they sound great (I usually only have one in for a call) and for music they sound pretty good.Another massive plus for me is the USB C charger, which is the same as my phone so brilliant to only need the one lead.I'd recommend. And since having mine we have bought a second pair for my wife who was previously using an Airpod clone.

Great Earbuds and a Great price
A great pair of wireless earbuds for a great price! Good battery life and convenient charging carry case. The touch functionally built into each bud makes changing songs easy. The only improvement that could be made is a very slight latency when watching videos.
