5.0 out of 5 starsSuper Cool Ear Buds - Great Quality
Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪 on 16 May 2021
Overall a great product, purposefully engineered, quality built, small and light, intuitive operation, IA and app supported, great sound and noise cancelling. Future improvements could look at extending battery life and enabling manual overwrite of ANC on/off during calls. Love the product, hence a clear recommendation to buy.
Upon unboxing both the earbuds and their packaging looks and feels to be of great quality, the box claims to be 100% recyclable. A welcome message printed inside the box asks you to download the Jabra Sound+ app to easier connect and personalize your sound experience. You don't need the app to pair and operate the buds though.
The ear buds sit safely in a high quality and small container that serves as carrier, protector and charger. It has an additional build-in battery that charges the ear buds when put into the container. The ear buds are light and small and sit perfectly in the ears. They come with different size ear gels to fit any ear size. Usage is simple via one-button operation.
The sound quality for both music and calls is amazing. An IA constantly measures the noise levels around you and automatically adjusts the ANC accordingly. When not on a call, you can manually switch between ANC on/off, and Hear-Through. (ANC = noise cancelling, Hear-Through = you can hear the noise of your surroundings) When on calls, you can also hear your own voice, which allows you to adjust your own voice level appropriately. The tested battery life when constantly in use (out of the container) is about 6 to 8 hours, dependent on frequency of calls and/or music. The ear buds are water and dust proof.
The downloaded app allows you to access the user manual, pair and configure you ear buds as per your liking. It has a built in hear-test that will automatically adjust and optimize the sound output perfectly fitting your listening capabilities. It even tells you when the chosen ear gels are not optimal for your ear size. Pre-defined sound modes can be customized and used to support what you are doing, e.g. when driving, being on calls, focused work, or taking a minute of relaxation.
As a consumer product built for non-professional use, the buds can not connect to a dongle and interact with e.g. Microsoft Teams. Of course, using bluetooth, you can connect the buds to your PC, Laptop or tablet, listen to music or have audio/video calls, but you wont be able to operate video conferencing tools (i.e. mute/unmute, or answer calls directly from the ear buds).
Overall, the product is of great quality and felt nice when wearing it. Its easy to operate and the App and IA make it perfectly customizable to your needs and likings. The sound is amazing and the fact that its water and dust proof makes it a perfect companion for all your day to day activities.
