Lots of paring issues, a terrible manual, and a lack of online help means you should skip these and go with a reputable manufacturer with a website and some sort of support infrastructure.
I bought them in April, the starry night version. Didnât start using them for a month or so. Worked great initially, then the warranty expired. One became permanently louder than the other, then the battery on one started to suck, then laughably suck, like 5 minutes of play time on a charge. Finally the bad battery died completely. Also, fancy finish wasnât durable, left with a shiny aluminum tube.
Looks like Meh is their last stop before the dumpster. Terrible reviews. They have been through HSN, Groupon and who knows where before landing here. Letâs start with the manufacturerâs admission of terrible battery life. No one except here had anything good to say about them. Makes you wonder about here
@huntd Pretty sure the Van Gogh edition ones are a different version, because these donât seem to have the automatic pairing/connection that the Van Gogh ones do. I got one of those and have been pretty happy with them so far.
UghâŠthese look to be identical to the Rowkin buds with the âtubeâ charger that were a total waste of money. when you ask yourself âhow bad can they be for $20â I was endlessly frustrated by how often they dropped connection.
@spavlis thatâs good to hear! This particular style, with the tube case, were beyond frustrating for me. they did this funny thing when losing connection the volume would cut out, then ârampâ back up so volume would go up, cut out, go up. I contacted rowkin and they told me to be sure the buds were oriented correctly because they had to be 12-oclock to 12-oclock, not even a little off, which seemed crazy. I also discovered that they were absolutely 100% worse outdoors in sunlight, for which I have exactly zero explanation. Full disclosure, I received another pair of Rowkins with ear hooks that I use when working out, cycling outdoors etc, they stay in place and they never drop outâŠbut these werenât meh purchase.

Oh good, Iâm glad that isnât just me! Iâve used them on the bus ride home from work, and theyâll work great the whole ride without any cutting out, then as soon as I get off the bus and start to walk home in the sun, boom, disconnected, seemingly no matter where I hold my phone. So weird.
It sounds like this is an outlier but I got two of the âartsyâ ones last time they were on here and my significant other really likes them. Sheâs been using them since around April of last year without any issues.
This Says it all

Wireless earbuds are the new speaker docks.
No way
Garbage
So, where do you think Meh can stick these?
@mike808 Coming soon to a Morningsave near you!
@ciabelle @mike808 They show up there as âsold outâ

@Wimateeka but is it a really really good shiny aluminum tube?
@eeterrific no
Only one Amazon reviewâŠand its a one review.
Look elsewhere.

Are these good? Aside from the battery lifeâŠ
@dimwittedanimal Mine had lots of pairing issues and would stutter if my phone was in my pocket. Save your money.
@tygon1 Thanks.
@dimwittedanimal it was easy to connect, sound decent, but the battery lasts for like 30 minutes tops. Canât even make it through a podcast.
I heard these were⊠whoops where did I put now? Oh, it in my ear. Why canât I hear anything?
I have the Van Gogh edition from last sale. At least they look goodâŠ
@huntd so how are your paintings going?
@huntd Van Gogh EARbuds? Let that one sink in good a minuteâŠ
@huntd Pretty sure the Van Gogh edition ones are a different version, because these donât seem to have the automatic pairing/connection that the Van Gogh ones do. I got one of those and have been pretty happy with them so far.
I thought it was an e-cig and I thought, hmmm a microphone? So you can take calls while youâre on a vape-break? Sure, I guess soâŠ
@ybmuG you know what Sigmund Freud said about a cigarâŠ
@eeterrific I think that would be your problem, not mineâŠ
@eeterrific @ybmuG âŠhmmâŠsoâŠwhat did Freud say?
@eeterrific @SharonOser @ybmuG âsometimes a cigar is just a cigar.â -Freud

@SCHORERT those Rowkin buds work fine for me and my family. Got 5 pairs and weâre happy with them. ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ

@spavlis I guess my rowkin experience is useless here, just simply in my opinion, a $20 pair of earbuds is not worth it.

WowâŠso one person bought this and absolutely hated it. Hard pass.
Wow. 1 star on Amazon. Pass.
it didnt even tell yyou how short the battery life is, obviously hiding somethingâŠ
HORRIBLE battery life. Very seldom every get something I hate from Meh⊠these have made it to the list. UghâŠ
These are terrible. Only plays through one ear now. Cant get the two buds to connect to each other. Fucking asinine
