I’m going to say pass, partially because you can get good entry-level TWS earbuds like these in the $20-30 range (new, on Amazon) and get a known product with actual reviews. $15 for these isn’t going to get you much, and for $5-10 more you’re taking less of a[n admittedly small] gamble.
Also, one thing that I caught was the, “Holds up to 4 complete charges; Up to 12 hours of playtime with charging case” part from the product description. 12 hours total is terrible with multiple recharges from the case, and the best interpretation of the above is that the buds give you only 3 hours of play time with 3 more recharges for another 9 hours, and all of those numbers are terrible. You can get double those values (like 5-6 in the buds and 20-30 total) with the entry-level options I mentioned.
Got a pair of Meh earbuds in an IRK. They sucked. Couldn’t pair. Didn’t fit in the charging case and only one charged. Lasted maybe 3 hours. Pitched 'em.
Not seeing anything here to indicate better quality. The price doesn’t hint at that either. Hard pass.
Not blaming Meh for a mediocre deal on a mediocre product. Shocker, right?
I’m considering this but can’t get wireless ear buds to stay in my ears with all the bending, twisting, quick walking and such that I do at work. Does anyone have a good idea for how to get them to stay i. Your ear? No. Not superglue.
@AuntMean67 I too had a hard time but found by pulling my ear lobe down while maneuvering one in and finding the right spot it would seal and sound great while not moving. I got the Braven ones they sold that have a little rubber tip thing that also helps, I’d recommend those (morningsave still has them I think). Other option would be to get some different silicone or foam tips on amazon (they are universal with most in ear buds)
@AuntMean67@petrosclark
While more expensive ($80), these JLab Audio Epic Air TWS earbuds have “Cloud Foam” buds that are the same material those noise-cancelling foam earplugs are made of. In that they can be squished and then will try to expand back to their original shape, for a tight fit to your exact ear canal, but fiam, so there isn’t pressure from a stiffer silicone material.
@404Error@mike808 So am I! I have a high “energy” job (I get a real workout most days without going to the gym) and would love to be able to keep the darn things in my ears. We’re not supposed to have earbuds in but since most of the others do, I figure, why not?!
@bass_pumped@fuzzmanmatt I’d suggest against it; I commented in the main thread, but in short these have terrible battery life and you can get better options for a little more.
@bass_pumped I bought these same model a few days ago at Walgreens at $9.99 (clearance so YMMV). No shipping charges as it is in the store. I bought some other stuff and was able to get $5 reward off a $20 purchase.
@jmoor783 There’s no rule saying speakers can’t play basketball.
WTF is that creature in the last picture?!?
It’s like Gollum and Dobby and the brain thing from the Wrinkle in Time book got mashed up together to create a wretched nightmare beast from hell…

Couldn’t find this specific model beyond the linked site (with no reviews) Similar bluetooth headphones from Gentek have received terrible reviews.
Buyer beware!
You can have these in any color, as long as its black.
I can’t hear you.
@yakkoTDI ,
Their only $16.99 at Walmart so Hear THIS: do you really need two sets to Seve so little?
@samsalowitz @yakkoTDI There ownlee…
Now we’re comparing prices with Nordstrom Rack?

@Atomizer even better, one interpretation is that it’s 12 hours max, or 6 hours per ear, with the 4 recharges.
@Atomizer I wish I had read your analysis before I bought them. They’re nice enough but die so quick.
Trying to undercut struggling Youtubers hawking Raycon earbuds?

“I personally use these and…”
Lemme stop you right there… to skip ahead one minute
@bobthenormal @sjk3
… to the extended unboxing … so as to get to those second and third monetization ad insertion points.
Idk, ear buds are a hard thing to buy and get stiffed on.
@Stallion I much prefer your “I’m desperate to get first post” reply better.

The Sport edition has the earhook to really keep it in your ear. It’s also cheaper, but I haven’t looked to compare.

@mike808 Thanks for recommendations, I’m going to try out the sport version and see how they go.

About $15 a pop. Should I?
@bass_pumped I’m tempted at this price, and I have many, many earphones already.
@bass_pumped @fuzzmanmatt I’d suggest against it; I commented in the main thread, but in short these have terrible battery life and you can get better options for a little more.
“and you can get better options for a little more”
This reminds me that I should buy a few more pairs of KSC75s. There are a few rooms of my house that don’t yet have a pair ready.

The charger plug don’t fit, need a different charger!!!
These were better than expected. Plus getting a couple extra usb-c cords in a nice perk.
I order the Airbuds, the charge cord do not fit the charging case, so I can’t charge my Airbuds
