kurdene Wireless Ear Buds, Earbuds Bluetooth 5.3 Headphones, HiFi Stereo Sound Waterproof in-Ear Earphones with Noise Cancelling Mic for iPhone/Samsung/Android Sports Workout-Blue

It Works!
This is a great headphone for the price. The plastic feels a little cheap and the case is so small. My preference is a larger case only because I lose everything. The medium size plugs kept slipping out of my ears but luckily they come with different sizes and the smaller one fits great, doesn’t slip out, and sounds better. They are not noise cancelling and the volume and sound aren’t the best I’ve experienced but they also aren’t the worst I’ve experienced. Again, for the price these work great and are a well made reliable option. I’m very happy with the purchase.

Simple and neat
I love that these are easy to use, they connect/ pair quickly with your devices. The sound quality for music and movies are superb, loud and clear. It’s a good value for money. The design is neat, easy to carry around. What I dislike is that whenever I’m on a call the person can hardly hear me, so I have to be talking really loud. Other than that, it’s good.

I have small ears – these aren’t a great fit
Kurdene S8I was looking for a new pair of wireless earbuds and couldn’t look at any on Amazon without being shown an ad for these. They seemed affordable and had a lot of great reviews. Either I received a dud, or these are deceptive.CASEI don’t like the case. It’s bulky and doesn’t really fit in my pockets. It’s an odd shape to hold. Rather than a notch to open, this case has a lip. The magnets holding it closed are quite strong – I’ve had other wireless headphones and what sets this case apart is that between the awkward shape, the odd lip, and the strength of the magnets, I have to grip a bit harder and push a bit harder than I expect to in order to open the case. I’m sure I’d get used to it if I used them more often, but, on the first use, I thought the case was accidently glued shut. if you have any sort of hand mobility/grip strength issues, I would not recommend these.Note: The headphones claim to be IPX8 rated, but the case does not. They also don’t recommend submerging in water, whereas Tozo (on their website, not on Amazon) claim their IPX8 rated products can not only be submerged in water, they can also be cleaned with soap! That includes the case. If you’re intending to buy headphones to use near a pool, lake, or ocean I do not recommend these.FITAfter I found the tips that fit best, I had the sensation that they were falling out of my ears, though with a nice seal they seemed secure – I tried shaking my head and they were still in my ears – they felt like they were constantly sliding out. With the really thin tips, it felt like it wasn’t secure. Even when I rotated them, they were a bit large for my ear and stuck out a bit – I would not recommend for smaller ears.SOUNDThey sound ok. If you want better sound, I’d recommend wired headphones as better sound can be had for about the same amount. As-is they’re fine for listening to music, podcasts, etc on the go. I have some wired earbuds that I use for passive noise-cancelling on planes. I otherwise prefer to be aware of my surroundings. Even with a seal, these have no sound isolation whatsoever. Even quiet noises could be heard. Additionally, if I had a seal and walked around in them, they sounded a bit weird, though I think that’s just a noise caused by physically blocking my ear canals and not necessarily the headphones themselves.BUG?A single tap on the outer part (button) is supposed to play/pause the music. I tapped once to pause, then once to play. Instead of playing, the earbud I tapped beeped (as seems to happen when tapping/touching the button – I believe it is a noise to let you know your tap/touch registered), then the earbud I didn’t tap beeped twice. The music did not resume. I tried again and it worked. That’s the sort of bug I experienced 10 or so years ago. There have been so many improvements in technology, I’m surprised this happened within hours of receiving them after they had been charged.THOUGHTSUnless I received duds, I can’t see these being good for too many people. Even if you’re on a budget, Kurdene’s own S9 (which is currently (02/24/2023) available for about $9 if you check the box for 50% off) resolves most of my issues. The case is a more standard size, thin enough to fit in a pocket, opens much easier, buds are smaller and don’t need to go far into the ear canal. Sound is a bit better in my opinion. It even has LED indicators to show you how charged the case is. A huge improvement across the board, available for less, from the same company. Yet, when I started looking at new earbuds, the S8s were advertised on every single listing and search. They were pushed hard. With over 60k reviews, the overwhelming majority of people impressed by them, I thought I’d give them a try. Even at under $15, I don’t think they’re worth keeping as spares and I intend to return.
