SoundPEATS Breezy Open Ear Headphones, 40Hrs Playtime, 90° Adjustable Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth 5.4 Earphones, 12mm Drivers, 4 Mics with AI Call Noise Canceling

First one lasted 4 hours, sent a replacement. I have Ankers and they do sound better, but these are around 1/4th the cost. Uses verbal notifications, but they are oddly dampened. Use these to watch media as I work. No problems there. Open ear, earbuds are the best - because you're not burning out your hearing as long as you seemingly use them at a modest volume. You can hear others around you. These have, hands down, the best volume touch controls of any headphones I have used. One night my neighbor was partying and I tried to use them to sleep. For that, they were not so good. Most women are side-sleepers, and this item kept going "DOOT!" in my ear as I slept. But would I recommend these for people on a budgeting looking for open-ear earbuds. Absolutely. 10/10 By the by, I am seemingly undisturbed by the leds on this one. I like that that case doesn't tell me with some ugly leds the percentage. I just charge it up after every other use. Outside of that, the adjustable ear dongles actually help find the right fit. Sometimes instead of turning something off to hear someone without interference, I just click my buds up off my drums. That way there's no competition between what I am listening to, and what someone is trying to say. I like this design way better in that sense than the ankers. Of which, I just pull off my ear entirely, when talking to someone out and about. But I will note that. I use the Ankers when I am out, and the Soundpeats when I am in. I think these are great for indoors. (As an aside, anyone looking for cheap sleepbuds, find something with "sleep mode" which deactivates alerts and touch controls. It saves lives! Also as an aside, I only use this on its first or second volume knotch, period. Higher volume levels = more battery.)

nothing ground braking, but sounds is good, also it connects to two sources at once (multipoint)

For $10 WTF are people complaining about? Every earhook-style earbuds should have this type of moveable hinge, but these cheapo ones are the FIRST I've had. *Really nice feature!* "Open ear" means there's no earbud that sticks into your ear canal, if you wear earbuds a lot it's a nice switch. They rest very lightly on your ears which is both good & bad. The movement/adjustability of the earbud is actually too free, they can move pretty easily after setting them in place, but other than that, and a pretty short battery life (6-8hrs) they are loud, clear, sound great, and you can flip them all the way out of your ears so that you can hear the world around you while still enjoying your audio. You may have never heard of Soundpeats, but they've been around for a long time and are pretty solid compared to the other jumble-of-letters Chinese companies that pop up every week on Amazon. Think a lot of the bad reviews came from people who didn't bother to check them out before ordering. Or maybe if you want these for jogging or the gym they might not be the best option, but ffs, for $10? They're great. (For $10 - If I don't like them I keep them in my backpack and give them to the next annoying jerk that is playing their phone's speakers at full volume in public! It is WORTH IT for the appreciation you get from everyone else in that situation with you!)

These headphones started out great. Comfortable and good value and sound for listening to podcasts. However, after a few weeks, one earbud stopped charging. Customer service was excellent. They provided me with detailed instructions for troubleshooting the problem and, when none worked, they assisted me in getting a new pair without charge. However, the same thing happened with the new pair. Likely a problem with the model, and why they are now $9 instead of the $40 I originally paid.

Update: Yeah ... I am just not a huge fan of these ... the big issue is still the sound for me ... it DOES sound balanced but ... because of the drive being fully outside my ear ... the sound is thin ... THOUGH ... both listing (they were $10 and $25 roughly when i ordered these... of course I got the around $10 listing) are not $10 give or take a $1 ... THAT IS MUCH more reasonable then over $20 for these ... I do see these are IPx4 rated so while you can spend a little more and do alot better then these ... in that $10 or so price range you can get alot of junk ... and I mean things that despite my issues with these ... DO sound worse and are made worse. really there is just a "fullness' to the audio that is listening when listening to music... if these (I cant comment on call quality) are going to be used mainly for phone calls and perhaps spoken word podcasts ... they maybe worth $10... but as I have said you can spend a little more and get an overall better option. not even my favorite option but the Upgraded (key: the upgraded ones apparently have better bass and more intense bass) GoFree2's from SoundPeats ... while they aren't totally adjustable so i can not get the driver right "over my ear canal" for the best sound ... they overall sound so much better than these ... for a ear hook style bud ... I bought those here, a day after the Breezys for $19... barely $10 more and still under $20 ------------------------------ I have to open this review by saying I AM conflicted about these “open ear headphones” (I may call them “earbuds” in this review just to keep things simple) … but that is not saying things are bad or that I am disappointed. I have to say that even with a few uses of these, this is still in the “realm” of first impressions. One of the biggest downsides (I did get it working) was fiddling with the BUGGY App … but I had things EQ’ed in the PeatsAudio App somehow that even if I could never connect them to the app again, … I was happy with the sound, considering a few things I will get to later. Before I go on… there are two (both low rated) SoundPeats Apps … I am not sure if both work for these, but I’d say you want the “PeatsAudio” app not the “SoundPeats” app .. both by the company and … confusing to users Sound Quality: I admit with headphone and earbuds of any kind I do apply EQ‘s that are sort of U or V shaped … just to be transparent. I also have had earbuds and semi in-ears like the Mee Pebbles, the TOZO A3s and also (though I lost them atm) the SoundPeats TrueAir2s. I know that you likely don’t get “big boomy bass” with the open ear design … that is just how they are. I have to say that having the adjustment in the earhook matters … These will never sound “great” to me but even with the hook around your ear, if the earbud is not facing your ear canal or close to it, these may sound “thinner” then they may already sound. My first comments would be … they sound sort of balanced for the most part … thinner on the bass side, but … the issue I think with the sound is the drivers being too far from my ears to get a “really good” sound quality. These do NOT sound “terrible” at all and for podcasts these may be good, but depending on the price (I will get to that later, as well), there are WAY too many earbuds in this price range that are better … including two of the four (these Breezys being one of the other two) SoundPeats buds I have. One of those I did see cheaper then a SoundPeats Breezy listing, and that is the Soundpeats GoFree 2s… they don’t have adjustments in the earhook, however the driver sits right where it probably should and overall they just sound better… if you shop around you MAY be able to get them for cheaper than these SoundPeats Breezys, too. Comfort/Fit: Here is one I am conflicted about … let me explain - They ARE comfortable…. No debate there - Getting them on can be an issue (...loosely I mean). BASICALLY unlike other earbuds and I am even including the same “style” SoundPeats GoFree 2s here...i can put them on with one hand (I do where glasses but that doesn’t change things even with the GoFree 2s). The fact that, every-time you put them back in the case, you have to reset them to be as compressed as possible, in a sense, … well for me anyway, I sort of need two hands to hold the earbud and get the adjustment for the earhook just right. To be honest (I do go on walks daily, but I do not run or go on treadmills or stuff like that) … The Go Free 2’s from SoundPeats and MOST other buds I have that are the “traditional in ear, earbuds” just feel more secure. At times it feels like the earhook adjustment is going to change and the Breezys will fall out of my ears (note: that HAS NOT happened, just saying that it feels that way) … even the Go Free 2’s for being the only other buds I have with the same earhook style that are not wired IEMs… just feel like they are more securely there. ----------------------------------- I was going to make this review longer, but basically said what I think I wanted to… and will update good or bad, about anything I really forgot to mention Price wise … this is a key … I have seen these go for $10 or so MORE than what I see for the SoundPeats Go Free2 … 100% I’d say go with the Go Free 2s … or most other earbuds in this price range, if this style is not the most important thing for you to have. I DO have to mention I got mine for a listing around $10… price wise that matters … $25 and I would have returned them … not thinking they are terrible, but just not worth the price … for $10 or so… I am more forgiving about the sound….which is really just what you’d expect from a “meh” speaker just outside of your ear versus even other semi in-ear, earbuds and how they sound. OVERALL I cant say I’d avoid these … but just there are better values out there. ------------------------------- Update: I was going into the app to see if I saw a bass boost button someone else I think mentioned (didn’t find it) … the buds connected to the app just fine and …. sound wise I have to add that … they may not be the best for mainstream genres like Rock or Rap that I listen to. For the Jazz and instrumental type stuff I tried again now, … these sound better than I remember… still a “thin-ness” to them, but, while not changing what I said earlier … these do sound balance and somewhat decent, depending on the genre. I just have to be honest. By the way … the two presets I am going between are the Signature EQ or Classical EQ … I do plan on messing with the adaptive EQ test more which IS a cool feature to have … but like other Adaptive EQ s I have tried on Soundcore products … I find their “default Signature” EQ just sounds better to me. This is the same with these SoundPeats Breezys.
