    I have SoundPeats TrueFree+
    Their battery life aren’t really impressive but the case battery life is very impressive IMO

    Edit: the buttons are uncomfortable to press and stiff

      me too, seemed like the previous generation of truefrees had better battery on the buds, and crap battery for the case lol

    JLabs are often bright highs with… mid-quality bass articulation, and mid-quality detail overall. The highs are somewhat overpowering imbalanced to my ears.

    The lighting in the first half was better, but a decent review otherwise ????

    I’ve had the soundpeats for about 2 years now. Got them for $20 really a steal at that price for what you get.

      Everyone is becoming a podcaster now. Not me of course 🙂 So, how about a review on inexpensive podcast mics?

    This kind of proved that you get what you pay for so I guess you guys should a comparison of wireless earbuds in the $45-75 or $95 range to see what the better options are below $100 but above $40 like this review was

    • Lexy Savvides

      May 5, 2020 at 5:02 pm

      Great idea. Don’t worry, we have lots of comparisons coming your way in all price brackets.

    I tried to get cheap true wireless headphones last year and ended up getting very frustrated with them. Lots of sync issues that drove me nuts. I ended up returning it and paying the extra cost to get premium ones. I don’t think the hassle is worth it.

    I have the Soundpeats, I chose the model that gives you 55 hours of total charge time. I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality for the price. I don’t have a problem with the button controls. I would say, try pushing them on the upper, mid, or lower portion of the button. I think the response and comfort will vary, because of the uniqueness of individual’s ear canals. Call quality could definitely be better in loud environments, but overall a great product for the price.
