Not only is that my high school nickname, that’s what these things are. I have two sets and the disconnects are bordering legendary. Adding the bigger sized tips prevents them from charging in the base. These things are just a waste of dreams.
I did this deal when it was the classic paintings. One pair worked with a decent battery life, one pair was like the faulty charger cable for your phone. It’d work off and on but was way more hassle than the five minutes it gave you.
Just confirming. I got the starry night ear buds a year or so ago and boy do they suck star and night and a few other things I won’t mention. Battery life is less than 30 minutes, connecting was spotty, the pre-recorded girl telling me “connected” and “sorry” sounded drunk and the sound itself was mediocre at best.
@fastharrydotcom Based on your response I guess you actually have no first hand knowledge about this product and you’re just sharing your uninformed opinion with the rest of us. Thanks for that. Truly. It means a lot.
@Trinityscrew and I guess based on your response that you did…I know how to read reviews…so go bother those readers who gave honest reviews and said they sucked…till then…
@fastharrydotcom Thanks for the feedback! Now I’m definitely going to take your opinion about a product you never actually bought or used, much more seriously!
I saw a mention in the comments section that these had 100% 1 star reviews on Amazon. A couple of things about that…
There were only (3) reviews when I looked. One was actually positive but the user apparently either didn’t understand the star rating just screwed up.
The people reviewing these on Amazon appear to have paid substantially more than $12 for them. I suspect they would have been less harsh in their assessment at $12. Heck, at $12 they probably wouldn’t have wasted the time it took to type the review.
It’s only TWELVE dollars a set. $14.50 with shipping. No one buying these should expect too much out of them. But provided they actually work and don’t cause your ears to fall off they’re probably OK.
@Trinityscrew I bought these last time and gave them to my son which is why I could only say “probably ok”. I checked in with him. He still uses them. He likes them.
I bought these before. The true wireless “advantage” does not compensate for the horrible connectivity. I would rather be hog tied with wires from headphones that sound reasonable than put up with the discomfort, short battery life, and bad sound.
Take your $12 or $14.50 and buy earbuds with wires that will work consistently, you’ll be much happier. These are not even OK.
I’m actually looking for some wireless earbuds after my J-Labs died.
Does anyone have truly wireless earbuds with batteries that last for more than a year?
@wickhameh I bought the rowkin surge on here or morninsave and they have the over the ear holder. Kind of upset because a week later they were on here again being sold with the charging case, but oh well. They work.
@wickhameh@gregormehndel I got the Rowkin Base Line and Base Jump headphones on indiegogo and love them. The Base Jump comes with a little ear hook that should keep it in your ear at the gym if you’re really active. I haven’t had a problem with the Line staying in but I don’t run so I wouldn’t really know.
It would require that I actually “work out,” which I don’t, to answer this question. I have walked my dog while wearing these, as many runners, bikers, and skateboarders passed us, and they did not fall out once.
@chienfou@gregormehndel That’s true. I should have specifically stated that the batteries were able to continue to be rechargable after a year.
Now back to your pea plants!
I second the Rowkin’s. Tried to convince my wife to get a pair, but she insisted on getting Samsung Buds (which she had for two weeks and then lost them on a trip). (Wish I had been out $40 instead of over $100.
Amazon also has the Anker Soundcore for $59 (and possibly $49 if you see the $10 off coupon). These have decent reviews.
That reviewer may have been “presently surprised” by their quality in December, but when these buds failed two weeks later, s/he became “previously” surprised…
I’ve had that experience–bought a cheap pair of earbuds for spares, and “Hey, these actually sound good!” Usually that means there’s poor quality control and a lot of variation in the sound of individual units. So if you happen to get one that’s put together right, you get your money’s worth. Roll the dice.
I bought two of these off of Amazon. They are HOT GARBAGE. They constantly drop signal. I wouldn’t pay $15 for these if they came with a $20 bill taped to them… that’s how bad they are.
Personally, I’m holding out until HappyTek4U brings out their Model 300 AirBudmate Pro noise cancelling absolutely not the same as any other product ear pod things for $10.

The last picture portrays a happy person with a cloud of smoke around her. I’ll have what she’s inhaling.

“Bose. As in: one of the most trusted, highest quality audio product makers in the world.”
Great joke. Even if it wasn’t meant to be.
@uscpsycho You mean B.O.S.E.: Buy Other Stereo Equipment.
@ciabelle @uscpsycho Came here to say this! Also stands for “Boy, our shit’s expensive!”
Finally, a deal that really blows smoke!
What do mean that’s a joke? Meh means joke in Yiddish
Bought previously and I could never get them to work. Got frustrated and tossed them.
@barrywilliams One has to wonder how many meh items are floating in the Pacific Ocean.
@barrywilliams @tweezak Don’t tell me how to live.
@barrywilliams @gregormehndel Not pointing fingers…just sayin’.

@Beruud so, then what you’re saying is that these are the perfect Meh product.
The commenter lost validity when they think bose are the best
The suckiest suckage that ever sucked…
I bought these, pretty terrible.
these suck…and to the 60 that bought them?
***SUCKERS!

@fastharrydotcom And you know they suck, how? Did you buy them the last time for $15??
@Trinityscrew have you been reading any of these posts?

@fastharrydotcom @Trinityscrew aw…that’s a nice bird
@fastharrydotcom Thanks for the feedback! Now I’m definitely going to take your opinion about a product you never actually bought or used, much more seriously!
I suppose if you think Bose is quality and great sounding you might fall in eternal love with these.
Ordered, came here to read comments, cancelled order.

@wickhameh airpods?
@wickhameh Rowkin Ascent R. I own 2 sets. I think I paid $29 each on Meh. Love them.
@wickhameh Correction: those were $39:
I also bought for $39. Also great.
@gregormehndel Those look awesome, but I have two problems with them:
KRULL! A SKULL! BRETT HULL! AWESOME!

@ExigosMortis and if you don’t believe me, PM me your address and I will mail you a pair of these pieces of shit for free.
That last photo – vaping earbuds?
@tallrob I would actually buy them if you could vape with them.
