My husband takes my AirPods to work and of course lost one of them. Since we needed something for him to use until we found the lost one, I ordered these.
Wow! I’m so impressed. Personally I like them better than the AirPods. Here’s why:
-there’s 3 different sizes for your ear!
-they are compatible with all types of devices
-they paired INSTANTLY!
-they are inconspicuous, they’re smaller and blend in better
-my favorite.... each earbud can be synced to a different device!!!
I will update my review if I have any issues, but I really don’t expect I will!
Every time I purchase something online, I always check the reviews. I count on others to help me choose the best option. My reviews are always my honest opinion and I try to include photos if possible.

Overall Impression:
First of all let me say that the sound on these is great. I listen to a lot of melodic/vocal music at work, the dynamic range on these was impressive, and the sound was clean/clear. I have other bluetooth headphones that are not this small and the sound was easily as good. The battery life is good for a normal days work and the headphones are comfortable to wear with 3 sets of cones for different sized ears. They pair up easily with my phone and do the job they were intended for. There are a couple of oddities though that I will detail later you should be aware of.
Out of the box:
I have attached a video of my "unboxing" these headphones. In the package are instructions which are not all that common for this type of item, and they are intelligible. There are 3 sets of the cones that go in your ear canal of different sizes to allow for maximum comfort for most users. There are the two earbuds with the medium cone attached and the charging "pill" shaped holder. There is a USB A to micros USB cable but no wall adapter.
Charging/First Use:
The earbuds arrived from what I could tell mostly drained. I connected the charging cable to the case and was pleasantly surprised that they magnetically “snap” into place to charge in the container. They took a little under an hour to fully charge the first time. There is no wall unit in the package so you will have to use a standard USB wall charger with USB plug or use a computer port to charge them up.
To pair them for first use simply press the “button” with the logo on both and they both power on and enter pairing mode. This can be heard via a female voice in the earbuds. On the Bluetooth controls for your device scan and connect to the “H9 Pro” devices it finds. Pairing completed automatically and once done they were ready to use. The voice tells you when each side is connected, that they are both connected and even speaks independently out of each ear what side it is so you know they are in correctly.
Second and subsequent uses the charging was right at 1 hour when plugged in to the wall. It was a bit longer on the container battery at 1 hour 15 minutes.
The description says up to 16 hours of use on one charge. I did not find that to be the case. I got 4 hours 20 minutes on the initial “wall charge” then 3 hours 50 minutes on the recharge from the container only. When I put them in the container, to charge a second time the charger batter ran down after about 35 minutes. This yielded just under 2 hours of run time. Overall, I got just over 10 hours of play time which was sufficient for a day’s use but not 16 hours. I got the same results two days in a row with only slight variation in times.
Daily, Real World Use Results:
Once paired you simply have to remove them from the case to power them on and if they are paired with a device that is present they seem to connect to the last device used quickly and automatically and are ready to go.
I found the controls easy to use. They are basic and there are two mods. You have a quick press and a double press. While listening to music a quick press pauses/restarts and a double press skips to the next chapter. To answer a call you single press to answer and hang up. A double press refuses the call.
During my practical use/testing I found that I could use the controls with ease but since you have to basically press the button towards your ear I could see how someone might find that uncomfortable.
The range was good. I got out to 22 feet from my phone as measured and found they stayed connected and worked. I went a different direction from line of site through an open doorway and a little ways in to the room and they started dropping out. In my office I was able to leave my phone on my desk and wander out a fairly good ways with no disconnects.
Practical daily use for me would consist of turning them on and putting them in first thing. I found they ran for 4 hours 20 minutes. Easily up to lunch. I put them on the charger while gone to lunch and found them fully charged when I returned an hour later. I then put them in for the rest of the day. So for a daily use set at the office they will do nicely.
Finally, to the Oddities/Issues:
First, I noted when I covered either the left side or right while they were in my ears, the right side would cut out. I never had it happen unless I cupped my hand over the ear but it happened every time. Not a big deal, I do not normally do that I was checking for ambient sound getting in and noticed it. I found it odd but assumed it was a function of the earbuds and thought perhaps the left is the “master”.
Secondly, and a bit of a bigger deal….. They may power on when done charging. While the case is plugged in, when the earbuds are charged they just stop charging and are ready to turn on when you remove them. However, if you charge them with the internal case battery, once they reach full charge they power on and seek out the last paired device and connect if it is in range. So essentially, while they are in your pocket they power on when fully charged and you don’t know it connected. You would have to either leave the case plugged in or remove them from the case/block the charging pins to keep them off. Ultimately, I took them out and powered them down with the button and put a piece of tissue over the contact points so they stayed off while in the case. There is a video of this phenomenon attached at the end of the unboxing video at 1:56.
Update: Customer service was willing to replace the headphones to resolve my initial issues. Amazing service deserves recognition. Changed 4 Stars to 5.
Short review:
- Sounds are good, simple charging and connection, great Bluetooth range, 3.5 hour battery life, and comfortable to wear.
Range:
- These work easily 20+ feet away – didn’t test them beyond that, but honestly that is plenty for me.
Battery:
- From dead to full, it takes 1.5 hours to charge. Just know that if one headphone dies, both of them turn off (if you are using both at the same time). I had the left one say “low battery” then after a few more seconds both turned off. In terms of continual use (played music non-stop - YouTube @ 50% volume), they last about 3.5 hours
Packaging:
- It comes with the headphones, 3 earbud tips (small, medium, large), micro-USB charging cable (does not come with a wall charger – so you will either have to plug this into a computer or a USB dock to charge), charging case, and user manual.
Use:
- To Charge: simply put the headphones in the case it comes with, and it will attach magnetically. As long as there is power to the case (green light indicator on the back of the case – red means it’s charging), the headphones will light up RED indicating that it is charging.
- To pair: If they are being charged, you simply take them out and they are in pairing mode. If they are not in the case then you must first turn on the headphones by pressing/holding the button for 3 seconds, then once on, they will be on “auto pairing mode”. Simply look for “H9” on your Bluetooth device. If you have paired it to your phone, for example, then you have to disconnect the Bluetooth before you are able to connect to another device. If not, it will automatically re-connect to your phone.
Sound quality:
- These are pretty nice in terms of sound. The bass is decent (not as deep/strong as some higher end headphones – tested with some heavy bass songs) but the treble/mids are good. I do own a Bose/Sennheiser headphones so of course these do not compare in terms of crisp/clear sounds they produce nor the nice deep bass, but these are by no means a cheap sounding headphone. They will be enjoyable for most people.
Issues - the only reason I gave it 4 stars: (contacted them to see what they are willing to do: will change rating accordingly)
- The left side seems to not pick up charging when I put them in the case – it’s a bit loose so if you move it, it will connect/disconnect very easily. I have to wiggle it in order for it to pick up the charge… it gets pretty annoying. This is a major issue as if you have this charging in the case and carry it around, the left side will not charge most of the time so you will have a dead headphone which causes both to turn off.
- The sound for the right ear keeps going in and out, as if it is having connection issues… and it sounds like a popping noise every couple minutes or so (Bluetooth device is about 2 feet away, so its not the distance, used 2 devices with updated drivers, etc. – so the Bluetooth device is not the issue)

WOW! $43 Bluetooth earbuds that sound better than my earbuds that cost 4 times more expensive?!
The EQ is excellent throughout the whole spectrum. There is no distortion at all in the lows, mids, nor highs. And these buds can get LOUD. The bass is deep, bass drums are thumpy. These are superb. Everything is clear.
To test these out, I listened to Journey, Pentatonix, the London Philharmonic, George Strait, Earth, Wind & Fire, Guns N' Roses, Miles Davis, New York Voices, a plethora of other jazz artists, Huey Luis and the News, Pavarotti, John Eliot Gardner's St. Johns Passion (Bach), etc. etc. Three hours of bliss later, at 3:00 a.m., I decided to go to bed. I should never had started testing these at midnight. LOL
And this is from a guy who NEVER used earbuds regularly at all. Never. I dislike cord management. I would pop in an earbud to check out something real quick if there was too much noise around me. I preferred to listen to music without any headphones or earbuds. But THESE--these are so good! They are so comfortable, I didn't even notice them. I used the standard tips that came with them. They do come with a total of three tips.
Since using them, I easily get four hours of battery. The charging unit is pretty cool, a pill box shape, small and portable.
Pairing with my iPhone 7 Plus is automatic, I love it. Speaking of which, I appreciate that I can access Siri with them. I do get a bit of cutting out in one ear and then the other for a fraction of a second occasionally, but not a big deal, hence the .5 star deduction in my 9.5 star rating, LOL. So in Amazon-eze, that would be a 4.975 stars. I reported this to the seller and he said he would pass it along to the tech team to fix. I look forward to the next generation. I could get 45 feet, unobscured distance away before they cut out. That is pretty typical, I think, for Bluetooth 5.0 in earbuds. My Bluetooth speakers have a much longer distance, but even my other earbuds have only about 45 feet.
These are a bargain. These are great earbuds and I highly recommend them.
I wanted a pair of wireless headphones that could work with multiple devices. I've had these for almost 2 weeks and have paired them with my iPhone, laptop and desktop computer. The pairing is super easy with these and I had it paired within a minute. The sound quality is nice and I tested it with a movie, music, and YouTube and the sound was very sharp and clear. One of the main issues I've had with these are keeping them in my ears. I read another reviewer state that you just have to find that sweet spot to make them stay and apparently I haven't figured that one out yet. I was wearing these while doing dishes and watching a movie and out they popped after a couple of minutes. I put them back in my ears and they lasted a while longer but I still couldn't get them to stay for very long. I will say that they are comfortable and very lightweight so they didn't bother my ears at all. I also love that they provide an extra pair of the foam parts in case you ever lose or wear out the ones currently on the earbuds.
The one main negative I have on these is that even when they are in their charging case, they will still activate and the sound will still come through these. I have Apple airpods and whenever they are in the charging case, my phone will automatically switch to regular mode but not with these. You can still hear the sound coming from these even when they are in the charging case. Not sure if this is because it's not an Apple product or the airpods are just more advanced but I found it annoying. I have to make sure I disconnect these on my phone anytime I stop using them. I got them mainly to use with non Apple products and will see if that problem persists with other devices.

Surprised at how great these earphones are. Was skeptical due to price and brand but went along with reviews. I’m so glad I got these over AirPods. I like them better than my beats too. They sound very powerful and you can hear the bass and I didn’t even raise halfway. They also stay on!! I was shaking my head side to side, did a cartwheel (literally) lol and they didn’t budge or feel uncomfortable. They feel really natural versus those earphones iPhones bring that are super uncomfortable. Great for my run or staying in zen in the living room doing yoga! And if you use both and raise up volume you dont hear anything around you! I even washed dishes with them on and had a few moments of relaxation while my kids were running around crazy lol. I also recently took them on a road trip and was able to pair to my iPad and watch movies while on the road. I charged them up and left the charger but the case keep them charged and the battery lasted. I think that’s my favorite feature the case. Not only keeps them stored and snap in due to a magnet but charges and is small that I can put anywhere! It’s like the length of a lipstick!
Now the pairing did get some use to. I followed instructions but still kind of fustrating. It said remove both at same time and they auto pair. It took me a few tries. I wasn’t able to but I figured out that when you remove them you just press both together until the blue light and bamn done! So really not a deal breaker or anything you just need to get used to it. Plus I like the option of either using one or two together. Pairing was easier, just located and paired.
All in all a great gift for yourself or someone. Run without bulky or irritating earphones, stay in zen during your yoga, watch a movie or read or even do dishes like me. Recommend!
I am still wrapped up in the learning curve of owning these earbuds. I misplaced my collar bluetooth earphones where all of your functions are in various buttons around your neck. These earbuds function by the number of presses upon the pads on the ear piece. For me it's like learning morse code, press once for this, twice for that, dot dash, dot dash. Outside of the technical I am enjoying these earbuds. I wanted something mostly to wear for sleeping and meditation that wouldn't be uncomfortable and these fit that need. The ergonomic design fits snug in my ear and you have a choice of two different size earbuds to tailor your comfort level even more. My bluetooth is paired with my tablet to listen to my apps and to my cell phone for calls. My friends said the clarity of sound is better than my last pair within my phone conversations. It is also very clear on my end as I move about doing chores around the house while talking. Winding down for bedtime, practicing evening stretches, listening to Calm stories and up to the point where I fall asleep the sound and function of these earbuds are great. The portable charging case is a fantastic option that makes life a little easier. I tend to wear one earbud while I'm driving or shopping. The portable case allows me to have a earbud always charging on standby. Despite my learning curve I highly recommend these; it's not the company's fault it's me. I'm one of those people who doesn't read the instructions until I'm in trouble. They enclosed a very concise manual to guide you through the usage of these earbuds and you can't beat the price for the features you get.
I chose these earbuds because they promised the best quality for the best price, and that's truly what I received. They shipped quickly with the promised free overnight shipping, and even came halfway charged, so I was able to start listening right away. And boy, they got LOUD! Much louder than I was anticipating from wireless earbuds. They were super easy to pair with my iPhone, and on that half-charge I was able to listen continuously for 2 hours. They recharged all the way to full in about an hour with the handy traveling charging case. For such tiny earbuds, I was really blown away. That travel case really adds to the portability and functionality of these earbuds.
I love that I can choose to listen through one earbud or both, it's a great feature to save battery if you only need to use one earbud.
I had to fiddle with them a little at first to get them comfortable in my ear, but there's a "sweet spot" you can find and once I found it, I was able to forget I was wearing them (if not for the music in my ears). And they didn't fall out! All of my purchases from this company have been winners so far. Would recommend to anyone, these earbuds are awesome quality in the affordable bluetooth device price range.
I received them two days ago and after going thru a short learning curve have quickly learned how to use them either in a stereo mode or in a singular ("mono") mode. I haven't tried the mic feature yet but will update this review in 6 months once I have thoroughly wore them in and compared them to my previous earbud and even pit them against my Parrot Zik headset:-)
Thus far here's what I like:
Comfortable fit (but is subjective and will obviously fit different users differently )
impressive sound (even reproduces a rich deep bass)
Fair price
Compact
magnetic connection/charging
Here's what the Jury is still out on:
Battery life
set up
connection distance
For all the apple users out there this is definitely a copycat type item in it's Airbuds type charging case and functionality. Initially it took me several tries to get the earbuds to connect to my tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab A) in a stereo mode; I could get them to connect independently but stereo was starting to become frustrating. Once I got it though it was truly like sweet music to my ears.
The size doesn't feel to big for my ear and although I normally use the medium size ear piece adapters, I actually have the smallest adapters on and they fit wonderfully:-)
As I am still a very novice user with these earbuds I am currently learning the features thru the one button system incorporated in this item. Basically different lengths of press/hold will get the earbud to act accordingly - E.G. turning them off, pairing, volume control, etc.
I've included a short video demonstrating the magnetic charging case. It's a pretty strong connection that creates an audible "click" so that you can be sure the earbud is correctly in the charging dock and in fact charging.
So, with two days under my belt there's my first impressions. Decent item for a mid-range price that delivers a pretty impressive sound. Hope this review helps you during your search for quality wireless Earbuds:-)
I am impressed with these ear bugs. I wore them yesterday for the first time for 4 straight hours and then some ( had to do some monotonic work, and listening to music help to keep it less boring).
Charge: The power lasted the whole time. About 4 hours in, it gave me a notice that the battery is low, at which point I took a break and put earphones in the case, however case was not plugged to power outlet. About 45 minutes later I used earphones again for half an hour and they had enough juice to work the whole time.
Transmittance: The product description says that it has transmittance distance of about 33 feet , but at some points, while listening to music, I was as far from my phone as 50 feet and it worked without interruptions.
Sound quality is great, no different than big brand name wireless ear phones I had used before.
Another benefit is, they are comfortable. They have 3 different sizes for the rubber piece that goes into the ear , so you can find a right one for size or ears. My problem with ear bugs always have been the pressure I feel in my ears after using them for 30 minutes or so, but not with those. You do not have to press them as hard in your ear as some others, and they stay in better.
