KT1 Ear Buds Wireless Earbuds V5.3 Bluetooth Earbuds 120Hrs Playtime, 4.7g Mini Size Painless Wear, IPX7 Waterproof, Deep Bass 2.0, Over-Ear Earbuds Wireless Bluetooth Headphones for Sport Running

THESE ARE MY GO TO!! EVEN 2024
I bought these cheap Bluetooth ear plug headphones on a whim and I am absolutely blown away by the quality. For the price of near nothing, these headphones sound way better than many of the competitors out there. The sound is clear and crisp, and the bass is surprisingly powerful. The Bluetooth connectivity is seamless and I have had no issues with them cutting out or losing connection. They are also incredibly comfortable to wear, even for extended periods of time. I am constantly impressed by the battery life, as I rarely have to charge them. I cannot believe the value for money with these headphones, they are an absolute steal. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a budget-friendly, high-quality audio experience. Truly astounding!

Quite serviceable
I’ve tried other earbuds and they hurt so bad. These come with three different silicone bud covers, so they fit much better as I ended up sizing down to the smallest ones. The sound quality is pretty good across multiple and diverse music genres, but my true crime podcast conversations are just a tiny bit hollow sounding. Techno and similar genres sound a little rattled, but over all the sound quality is satisfactory. I like the extra USB port for urgent needs, but it doesn’t hold too much power so don’t depend on it. The case is sturdy but easy to open. The buds are lightweight and comfortable. The one touch operations are a little hard to remember at first, so I took a pic of the instructions and saved them to my phone notes.

345 days in and still ❤️
So… I have had these buds just 20 days shy of a year. And let me tell you I have used them EVERY SINGLE DAY, since I got them. They are comfortable, even the piece that wraps around my ear. They stay in place. I have no fear of losing them… recently I was on a boat going at a high (to me anyway) rate of speed, and the bud held firmly to my ear. I highly doubt any bud without the little ear arm would have stayed in place..The rapid connection speed is nothing short of impressive…you don’t even know how awesome it is until your connecting to something else… and so far these buds connect quicker than everything else I’ve connected to.I never, well rarely, wear both… just one at a time which is PERFECT for my needs. The charge on each ear bud lasted 8 or more hours…so when the battery was low which is indicated by an audible “battery low” announcement via earbud. I’d pop the other in my ear and put the dead one in the case to charge. I always have one in minus shower time…and usually minus my time in bed…however I fall asleep with it in a lot more often than what I’d like to admit. It’s only recently that one ear buds battery life.(the left) has significantly decreased. Admittedly I have worn, thus charged the left one more than the right… so that may be the problem. My right I still get a good full 8 hours out of.., my left. Well it’s down to maybe 2 or less hours. I am finding this to be increasingly problematic BUT with me using these every single day for 345 days for 18 hours a day… can I really complain?The blue tooth range on this set of buds is very impressive. My Apple watch loses connection to my phone a good ten feet before my ear buds. About 3ft away from the end of the buds range, what ever your listening to will get choppy… but backing into that rang fixes it… and if you go out of range for a few minutes… stepping back in rang restores the connect without any intervention on your part. If outta range to long the bud will power off. That can be both a Convenience and a nuisance.Controlling the earbuds, especially if wearing just the one was a little tricky to learn. But for my uses…if wearing just one bud, one click to either the right or left can be used to increase the volume. So far I haven’t figured out how to decrease the volume wearing just one. Two rapid clicks will start or stop what ever you are listening too.. and if needed… a long press will turn on or off the buds… individually. (So does sticking them in the case)Also the case it’s self… I charge it once every 7-9 days. The charge time from dead to full is less than 2 hours. Again to me that’s impressive. Also I can still use the buds if the case is charging. There’s at least one bud always in that case. There’s a battery meter on the front letting you know how much charge is left. With the amount of charge that little box holds it could be dubbed the Tardis. The box can be used to charge other devices… but I’ve never charged anything with it but the ear buds themself so I can’t speak on that feature… other than knowing it’s there. I can’t tell you how long it takes for the ear buds to charge… I just know that I plop one in the case when it dies, while plopping its counter part in my other ear. And when the battery dies in the switched bud, the one in the case is fully charged. This has been the case even when wearing the earbud with the decreased battery life. The right bud is at 100 % by the time the left bud dies… which is sadly now under 2 hours.Lastly… and I’ve never actually timed it but it does seem to me that I get less time from either ear bud if it’s in standby than I do if I’m actively listening to a book or music. Since I’ve never actually tested it… it could just be my imagination. I’ve never been interested enough to time it.*The Cons*I use text to talk A LOT. Beware.., These buds are crap for that purpose. Either/both of them. IF it manages to pick up anything you’re trying to verbally text… you can bet it translated nothing that you said and made up its own words. Which can cause a lot of confusion to the person receiving your message prior to you realizing the buds are crap for that. So for accurate talk to text translation, you’ll have to switch your mic. Fairly painless… but can be inconvenient.During actual phone calls I may use both buds for better sound.., but one is usually sufficient. I don’t know if the other cons are actually an ear bud issue or an iPhone issue, but during face time calls, I often switch over to the phones mic so anyone with me can interact during that call, which often means switching the camera from front to back facing or vice versa. Each time you change the cameras direction the mic switches back to the earbud. THAT is also HIGHLY annoying and extremely inconvenient. But I am not sure if that’s an iPhone thing or an earbud thing. Im just positive it is a thing that can and often does make me see RED!The last con…again I don’t know if it’s an ear bud issue/iphone issue/or car radio issue.., BUT about 90% of the time when I get I to my car with my earbud in place, the blue tooth connection icon on my radios display is grayed out. So I can’t just tap it to listen to my iphone. However my phone is connected to my car…because when I talk to text it’s my cars mic that pics up with CORRECT translation…and when I receive a phone call my radio rings. However when I answer it.., it’s through my earbud. This is more or less just an annoyance. And it’s just the bluetooth connection, when I plug in for CarPlay it works as I expect it too. So I don’t know where the fault lies. With the buds.,, the phone or the car… so I won’t ding the buds rating for it.Oh also an unexpected but very convenient discovery. These ear buds work with my Firestick. So I can watch what ever on TV listening through my buds and not disturb anyone else in the house with it… like my granddaughter during her nap.However if I have had my buds connected to the firestick and don’t want to use them to listen to the tv… I have to actually go in and unpair them from the Firestick.But the buds will be paired with my phone and the Firestick simultaneously… again.. an unexpected but very convenient feature. Not only can audio coming from your tv wake a sleeping baby… a sudden shrill from a ringing phone can and often will wake a napping baby…. with the buds. You don’t have to risk either waking that precious baby…. since the earbuds can handle at least two connections simultaneously. Again that’s been a recent discovery that my appreciation of keeps growing.Over all I am HIGHLY satisfied with these buds.I truly hope the next pair I order… -which will probably be soon because of the left buds battery life- will be as great as these have been.The value far exceeds the cost.Oh, if you’re still reading… just to be clear… I paid full price for these buds..I have not received ANY incentive or rebate nor has any incentive or rebate been offered or promised from the seller or manufacturer. (Of course if they’re reading this I would not be opposed to either as I have hit a hard patch in life and my financial struggle only continues to increase in need, with increasing speed … but review wouldn’t change)
