Why do shoppers love it?

Equipped with 3D stereo drivers, these earbuds deliver deep bass and crisp treble for an immersive sound experience. Along with the quality audio, you'll get seamless pairing to Apple and Android devices with the latest Bluetooth 5.4 technology. On top of that, these headphones come with all the features you'd get from high-end brands, like a convenient charging case, smart touch controls, and noise isolation.

One shopper wrote, “Better than AirPods! I lost my AirPods, and I didn’t want to pay over $100 for wireless headphones, so I got these ones. I will say, I’m shocked at the quality! I can hear beats in songs I've heard hundreds of times that I couldn’t hear with my AirPods.”

“I am beyond impressed with these earphones!” said a second reviewer. “The sound quality is outstanding — crisp highs, rich mids, and surprisingly deep bass for such a compact design. They fit comfortably in my ears and stay secure even during workouts, which is a huge plus. The noise isolation is also excellent. The build quality feels premium, and the battery life easily lasts me all day.”

Color options: The earbuds come in black, light blue, and rose gold, but only the black pair is on sale for $16.
Battery power and playtime: The earbuds can play for 9 hours per charge, and by using the charging case, you can get a full 48 hours of audio playtime. With the help of the handy LED display on the case, you'll be able to see real-time battery levels.
Are they waterproof?: While they shouldn't be submerged in water, the headphones have an IPX7 water resistance rating, which means they're sweatproof.

The exceptional sound quality and long-lasting battery that provides up to 48 hours of playtime make these earbuds a perfect choice for everyday use. Since they're sweatproof and have a secure fit, they're also ideal for gym sessions, hikes, and runs.

I highly recommend these earbuds and could not be happier with my purchase.”
