SoundPEATSPOP Clip Wireless Open Ear Earbuds, Button Control, Lightweight Comfort Headphones, 30H Playtime, IPX5 Waterproof, Bluetooth 5.4 Immersive Audio Earphones for Sports Running Working, Black

I've been on a journey to find a set of budget (<$100) clip-on open ear headphones that work for me, and I think this is the one! I feel like this new niche of headphone is on the rise as we're looking for balance between good sound and situational awareness for those of us who are active or working while simultaneously need to have audio access to the environment for safety or communication reasons. So far I've tried a few of the sub-$100 brands recommended to me by Amazon (i.e. Tozo, Baseus, Monster, truefree, etc. and some other brands I'd rather not mention, lol). Indeed preferences are subjective, but I finally settled on this one because I was blown away by the out-of-box sound quality (crisp details, soundstage, and as much bass one can expect from open-ears), comfort (the feeling of having nothing pinching!), and quick and consistent connectivity that I've had so far (no skips!). After pairing, the buds connect within seconds after taking them out from the case. Physical button with resounding click is very appreciated for good haptic feedback on commands. The bridge spring coated with rubber/silicone(?) gives good grip to the earpieces when taking them out of the case and adjusting them on the ears.My only gripe about the design is that the case is rather hard to open if my hands are extremely dry and cannot get a grip on the hinge (the opening is on a slant). The whole thing has slipped and flown completely out of my hands a couple times while trying to open it. Maybe add a indent for grip to the opening? Not a deal breaker though.

These earbuds come at a great price, are easy to connect and have decent range. I purchased them because I often have an issue woth earbuds staying in my ear or causing pain after continuous use. This is never a problem with the SoundPeat Pop earbuds. They are comfortable to the point that I have fallen asleep wearing them and they stay attached. The battery is near to what is advertised as well. I wasn't too impressed with the sound quality until I utilized the app. There are some preset equalizer settings but adaptive is best setting for me. After the hearing test, I have never had an issue. I tested the call quality while biking in traffic, on a windy day and in a noisy warehouse with excellent results. The one fail was on the subway. I couldn't hear anyghing while the train was moving. Another issue is you can't talk low, even in a quiet environment, if you want to be heard. In instances like that I had to put the phone to my ear. Overall this was a great buy for me and I have even suggested buying them to friends and family in similar situations. I do own over the ear headphones for times I am not so concerned about my surroundings.

Update: Soundbeats contacted me and offered a replacement for the defective unit. The replacement functions without any problems. It appears that the previous issue was an isolated incident, so I changed my rating to 4 stars to acknowledge the good product and excellent customer service. I deducted one star to remind the company to enhance the charging mechanism, which I believe caused the failure in the previous set. Overall, I really like the product's performance, including the sound quality, volume, convenience, and long battery life (when it is properly charged). The Bluetooth connection may temporarily drop when I turn around, but it reconnects automatically, allowing my music to continue without any intervention from me, so it’s not a major concern. Once again, I never had to worry about the buds falling out of my ears during my workouts. Highly recommend!Original: I bought the PearlClip Pro about two months ago and liked it a lot, so I ordered this Pop Clip for exercises. It worked well at first. The audio quality is not as good as the PearlClip Pro, but it is adequate for my intended uses. It stays on during movement. However, a main issue started to develop right after I passed the return window: the buds do not disconnect from the phone after I put them back in the case. I did not realize that until I found there was no sound from my phone. I could still disconnect them if I picked them up from the case and put them back a few times. The more frustrating issue, however, appeared yesterday when I was trying to use them, and I discovered that one of them was completely out of battery while the other one was 100% charged. I believe the problem stems from their inability to shut off or disconnect from the Bluetooth. It is a nightmare, as you never know if they are properly charged when you need them. I hope this is just an isolated case and that Soundpeats is willing to fix my issue. I have only had them for a month and a half!

i love 8 hour battery (play) life, that you can sleep with them on and they wont hurt your ears, that you can swap L/R and they automatically remap, that if you get water in them, you can turn on the "vibrator" to get the water out !!! LOVE the physical buttons! The sound is pretty good... you have to play with the EQ to get the BASS just right. The BASS is not as strong as another "name brand" (more expensive) but similar clip type earbut that I have, but the EQ fixes that. I'm also not a big fan of how the case opens... it has a diagonal cut on the side... it's hard to hold and open, but that may be just me. LOVE LOVE LOVE the physical buttons + button function mapping. Over all, I would highly recommend getting this.
