Why is this a good deal? 💰

Let's start with the fact that they're 50% off with Prime. This is also the lowest price these have ever been, too. Not bad for a set that fans compare to AirPods, especially when you consider that even other budget-friendly earbud options aren't this affordable.

Why do I need these? 🤔

The standout feature of these isn't their sleek design, the LED on the case or even the sound quality. It's comfort. Unlike many pairs of inexpensive earbuds, these have silicone ear tips that result in a better, more comfortable fit. That's a feature you have to buy the AirPod Pros to get — not even the basic AirPods (which cost $99) have that feature. These also come with small, medium and large silicone tips so you can adjust as needed.

The buds have large drivers that provide more than enough volume, while the soundscape is more balanced to get a great result, no matter the genre. Bluetooth will keep 'em connected up to 33 feet away, and you can control them with a tap of your finger. Pause your music, skip a track, answer calls, and even adjust the volume, all without reaching for your phone.

These are available in both black and white, but only the black variety is on sale.

What reviewers say 💬

These earbuds are relative newcomers to the market, so while they don't have a ton of reviews, they do have more than 900 five-star reviews overall.

Pros 👍

One user couldn't say enough about the sound quality. "These earbuds have terrific sound and don't have that skipping, breaking up, static that you can sometimes find with lower priced earbuds. These are clear, loud enough to hear in all kinds of noisy environments."

Raved another: "I have had Apple AirPods and the sound on these are just as good, and I love that there is a digital display of the battery life." Echoed this shopper: "The sound is awesome, almost just like AirPods."

Cons 👎

One shopper ran into a few connection problems. "I believe that if the case dies, you cannot turn off your earbuds. I tried putting them back in the case, and my phone was still paired with the earbuds."

And one other person said the touch controls could be a little too responsive. "I like these earbuds, just a little touchy. Other than that, they have good sound."
