I bought these because I wanted to use earbuds in classes or while working and just use one earbud inconspicuously. These have worked great, and I like them so much that these are the only earbuds I bother grabbing when leaving the house for most occasions.
A big problem I have had in the past with my corded earbuds is that because I am at school, I am always stuffing my earbuds into my bag, where they get tangled and the cord gets damaged, so most of the time I just get cheap earbuds, because they all end up wearing out eventually.
These earbuds fit perfectly in the charging case, and because the case is so small, I can easily slip it into my pocket or backpack and know that they wont get worn out or damaged from my usage.
The pairing on the Bluetooth can be a little confusing at first, because both of the earbuds can be "in charge" because they both work independently. The best way for me to get them paired was to turn on one, and then once it pairs with my phone, then turn on the other earbud and it will automatically pair with the other one.
The sound quality is pretty good, and they are very good at sound cancelling, so I usually just put in one while in class so that I can still hear when something is going on.
I don't really have a way to compare the battery life with my other devices, but they seemed to last a really long time before they got to low battery and I usually put them in the case pretty frequently between usages and the case charges them well. The case charges by usb-c, which is a plus for me, because that's one less micro USB cord I need in the jungle (in my disorganized charging station), I just need to pop it on to my OnePlus Dash Charger and it charges at regular speed.
Although there is not much bass, the sound is very clear, and you can still hear the lower tones. I assume the lack of bass is a contributing factor to why the battery lasts for so long
One thing that surprised me was that my ears do not go well with normal cup earbuds, I usually have to use the shaped ones without the cups like the Apple or Samsung earbuds. Even when I use small earbud cup sizes, I often have trouble with my earbuds falling out. The design on these earbuds makes you twist them to go in and they actually stay in my ears very well I shook my head side to side, equalized my ears, and went running with them and they didn't come out.
Overall, I think that these earbuds are a great substitute for the apple air pods, and the long battery life along with the included charging case lasts me a good while of listening to music or calling people. Many of my Co workers and Classmates have asked about them and where I got them and I have been recommending them left and right, which is why I thought it would be a good idea to share my thoughts about them here .

Two weeks ago I was looking to buy a new Bluetooth speaker for my phone on Amazon for under 50 USD, and after a few minutes of browsing around I found this great deal from a company named Havit. I made my order and the speaker was shipped out the same day from their warehouse in China.
Today I received the speaker in the mail in a quite generic looking package, and inside that package there was a nice looking box with the speaker inside. Other than the speaker they included a micro USB cable for charging and audio cable so that you can hook it up to devices which do not have Bluetooth.
The speaker was really easy to connect to my phone, I just had to enable NFC on my phone and place my phone on top of the speaker itself and that’s it. If your phone is not NFC capable you have to hook it up manually, but it’s really easy. Enable Bluetooth, pair the speaker with your phone, and that’s it.
The whole front of the device is covered by a net which protects the two front speakers, and at the bottom of the device the bass is located. The device is made out of rubberized plastic, but a bad part with that is that it collects fingerprints very easily. At the back of the speaker you will find the line in, line out and micro USB -jack and the power switch.
The sound quality of this speaker is actually very good and all the tracks I have played through have been sounding very well overall, but the sound is a bit choppy at 100% volume. That’s the only bad thing I can find really about the sound, other than that the sound is very clear, and the mids and the bass is very good.
Overall this is a very nice speaker, and there is a few minor issues with it but it is nothing big. It is a great little speaker for the price. One thing which would be great is if they would bundle an AC adapter with it, but it is not really necessary.
If you want one, you can order it here:

Havit
I did also buy the same product as you.
The product is extremly cheap for its build quality and audio quality.
The bass isen't really located at the bottom as you say.
I did disasemble it (Great build quality) and find out that it's a ruber pieze moving to the sound pushed by the loud speaker's.
That made this speaker uniqe. There idea is great!
There speaker has great bass because of there idea. Without installing a subwoofer that often takes alot of watts. A can make the battery last half the time that it does without the subwoofer. The speaker is also 100% air tight.
Because of there gaskets and glue. And they also fitted the unit with a oversize battery. That resultats in around 11-12 hour of battery time.
I can only say! Great product Havit. I will buy from you again for sure!
Any idea what the battery is? I need a replacement but its not clear looking at the one I have what the specs are. A 3.7 3000 Ma? Or something else??
Bottom Line:
I love this product, really simple to use, comfortable fit and I enjoyable to use, very simple to just pick up and start using and ive found myself just grabbing these for a quick hangouts call or when watching a video on my laptop. Its happy to be paired to more than one device.
In The Box:
In the box is the headphones with a total of 4 ear-buds and 4 different size ear hooks. There is also a short flat micro USB lead used for charging the headphones.

Hands on
The headphones look lovely and premium, all black with white ear-buds and ear hooks and a grey Lumsing logo on the both sides. Around each side is a circle of chrome which looks nice. The right side Lumsing logo doubles as a sneaky button used for on / off and Bluetooth pairing. Also on the right is a volume up and down button and microphone hole if using as a hands free for phone calls etc. The left side only has a small input for the micro USB charging which has a rubber cover.
I tested this out on my Android Galaxy S6 and my HP laptop, it was happy to pair with both and save the pairing of more than one device which was useful as I sometimes use these for my laptop and sometimes for my phone depending on what im doing. The pairing was really easy, just hold the button long enough and it enters pairing mode and thats pretty much it. Putting these on, they sit in my ears really snugly, so snug that its like having my fingers in my ears so when I talk it sounds like im underwater. They do a great job of sitting in and shutting out the outside ambient sounds. This also means that the sound quality and volume they are capable of delivering is pretty good considering their size and how light weight they are. They come with ear hooks which I dont really get how to use so I've just ignored them, I haven't had any issues with these falling out of my ears, even when I use these when running they sit in there fine. There are different size ear buds depending on the size of your ears there should be something for you.
So far I've been using these for a week over Christmas and I've been really happy with them, the ease to just pick them up when I want to watch something on my laptop, I just turn them on and my laptop (windows 10) auto pairs with them no problem and the sound just switches to coming out of these. So far I havent had to charge the battery, seems to just keep going...
Positive points
+Really simple to use
+Comfortable and snug fit

I was on the lookout for a new pair of earphones as my old pairs broke and as I don’t trust myself with expensive in-ears, I went online and started to look for a new pair to go along with my phone. After a bit of looking, the Somic V4’s instantly caught my eyes as they were similar looking to my old pair (TTPod T1S) and the cable looked great, so I placed an order and have now been properly able to test them out.
The packaging of these earphones is made out cardboard and looks pretty good, and opens up like a book showcasing the earphones. Inside of the packaging you can find some manuals in Chinese, some double-flange ear tips, as well as the earphones themselves. There’s no extra goodies such as a shirt clip or a pouch to store them in, but that’s to be expected for a sub <20 USD pair of earphones.
When it comes to the ear tips of these, I can directly say that they didn’t work out very well for me, and I had to use an older pair of ear-tips from another pair of earphones. The double-flange ear tips didn’t stay in my ears and just made the sound very hollow, but after replacing them I was able to get a perfect seal and the audio turned out to be better than what I expected for 20 USD, but more on that later.
My favorite part of these earphones is the cable, as it gives an illusion of that these earphones cost a lot more than they really do, and I also love the fact that the angled audio jack is very robust and solid. However, the cable also comes with its disadvantages as it tangles up pretty easily and it can easily get annoying if you don’t straighten it out every now and then.
But do they sound any good? Yes, definitely and I really like the sound of these in general. First off, they have some very decent lows, with a deep and quick bass that suits for the type of music that I listen to. When it comes to the mids, they are very detailed and dominant, but they're not overwhelming or exaggerated either, which is just a positive thing. The treble on these is also pretty sharp, but it really doesn’t hurt the ears either and provide a good experience really.
Overall, if you’re on a budget a need a pair of earphones for <20 USD, these are definitely a steal considering that they offer such an amazing value for the money. They both sound good, give an illusion of being more expensive than they really are and they also feel sturdy. Definitely a pair that I can personally recommend and I’m using them as daily drivers with my phone for now!

Like many, I’ve been wanting to hop onto the noise-cancelling headphone bandwagon since models like the Bose QuietComfort 35 and Sony 1000XM series came out. However, also like many, I was not interested in dropping $350 bucks for this experience. I only fly or commute on mass transit a few times a year. These Anker Soundcore Life 2 headphones are a great compromise for those looking to spend less than one-third of the price of the top-tier models and still have a great experience.
Sound quality: Very good. These will not touch wired, high-impedance headphones for lossless music files, but for noise-cancelling, bluetooth headphones for listening to Spotify, the sound quality is super solid. I enjoy the BassUp tech for a deeper and fuller sound. You do get a built in mic too, which is great for making calls.
Noise cancelling: Having used the aforementioned Bose QC and Sony 1000XM series before, these are not on that level with noise cancelling. If those are a “10” these are more like a “7-8”. Those high-end models can wipe out virtually ALL background noise while the Soundcore Life 2 does more of a controlled reduction. Still very good for the price and to block out the outside world.
Battery Life: Fantastic. 30 hours on wireless with up to 60 if you connect with the provided cable. And if you turn off noise cancelling while wired, you can go forever. Would’ve like to have seen a Type C connection (it’s microUSB still) for charging, but this is a pretty small complaint.
Build quality: Top notch. Nothing seems cheap or breakable. The headphones fold down for travel in the provided case. The case has some firmness to it too, so your headphones won’t get crushed. Great for stashing in your backpack or messenger bag. The ear pads are nicely padded and I can easily go over an hour before any kind of “ear compression” discomfort takes hold.
The holiday pack is a great bonus since you get a PowerCore 5000 powerbank for on-the-go charging. Other included accessories include the top end PowerLine+ microUSB cable, an aux cable, and an airplane adapter. Great value here!

Have you tried using these with a PC while gaming? I'm curious whether or not the microphone actually works over wired/BT while gaming.
As i searched for new Headphones i came across these on amazon, so i ordered 2 different versions to test them and give you a short review.
I ordered the Dudios Shuttle and Dudios Free Mini (both around 35€ on amazon).
The Dudios Shuttle are AirPod like headphones, with BT5.0, IPx5 sweat resistent and touch control from the headphone itself.
The Dudios Free Mini are more like my old Jabra elite sport headphones, they are a small egg-ish form factor and will sit in the outer ear.
On both packages a charging case, some earpieces in different sizes and a micro USB cable is included.
As said both come inside a case which also acts as the charging station. The case of the Shuttle also have a 4 leds which are charging indicators of the battery INSIDE THE CASE. If you put the headphones into the case they will automatically recharge, and a small red led on the headphones will indicate the charging process. They can play for around 4hours and then needs to be recharged. If you have the case around you can put them back and let them recharge.
On the Shuttle get around 24h of playback without the need of a wallplug. (5x recharge in the case + 1 initial charge = 24h) and on the Free Mini you will get around 15h playback claims dudios. I only tested a full charge, both lasted a litle longer than 4h.
Once paired the headphones will automatically connect to the phone when taken out of their case, in my tests this always worked quick and reliable. No issues at all.
The BT range is really good, in comparision to my old Jabra elite sport headphones it is even incredible. The Jabra headphone have issues already if you are more than 1 meter away and drop the music. This Dudios have no range issues at all, in my tests i put the phone in one room and traveled with the headphone through the whole apartment, they dropped the connection only through 2 concrete walls. I would not assume any issues in day by day usage.
Both headphones have a pretty good sound, in comparision to my old Jabra elite sport it is better. I know sound is always kind of a personal choice. They don't reach the sound levels of my Sony WH-1000XM3 but that was expected. For small headphones i am pretty impressed and like it. Perfect devices for doing sports and running around if you don't want to carry the big headphones.
Also both headphones have a touch control feature, you can simply touch (not press!) the headphone to play/pause etc. your music. Which comes in handy if you don't want to take out your phone.
My personal preference are the Shuttle, as they can run a little longer than the Free Mini and i find them more comfortable to wear.
I will attach some pictures of both headphones so that you get a better impression.
Overall: Pretty nice headphones for a cheap price!
