onn IPX4 Splash-Proof Earbuds with Bluetooth Technology

These are the only Bluetooth earbuds I will ever buy and believe me, I've tried them all. I love that they're connected by a wire, because I kept losing one (or both!) of the “pod” types that aren't connected, plus these are lightly magnetized and I can hang them on a hook without them sliding off. The other thing I love about them being connected is that the control, where the microphone is, hangs close enough to my mouth that it picks up my voice easily, for phone calls and dictation. The control has all the usual features: Volume up/skip to next song, volume down/repeat last song, power on/off, and the Type C charging port. They charge from the second “Battery Low” warning to fully charged in about two to three hours, although I have pulled them off the charge cord after just one hour and they were charged enough to let me stream a 2-3 hour movie. I listen to music to fall asleep and often they're still going in the morning if they were fully charged when I went to bed. The sound quality is great for a set of this type—not too tinny treble or too heavy bass—and vocals sound fantastic. I wear hearing aids in both ears (not while wearing these, obviously) and speech is easy to hear and understand, not muffled, so they're great for phone calls. The price can't be beat, and they're easy to start up and put on—I love the “wings” that keep them in my ears. The female voice that says “Bluetooth pairing” and “Bluetooth connected” is quite pleasant, and doesn't startle me like other brands have. I had one pair that sounded like a raspy-voiced woman who's been a smoker for 30 years! (No, really. It was so bad I had to replace them almost immediately, which is how I found these!)
