Tribit Wireless Earbuds, 110H Playtime Bluetooth 5.3 IPX8 Waterproof Touch Control True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds with Mic Earphones in-Ear Deep Bass Built-in Mic Bluetooth Headphones, FlyBuds 3

I figure it's time to leave a good review about these earbuds, because I've owned them for just over 3 years now, and they've turned out to be one of the best things I've ever purchased on Amazon.I've also had a set of airpod pros for 2+ years and while I love those, I basically only use the Airpods for watching TV or on Zoom calls, because they're designed to quickly switch between Apple devices and they have great NC. For daily use, I much prefer the FlyBuds.SOUND - 10FlyBuds have WAYYY more bass than the Airpod Pros. I'm sure technically that means that the sound is "distorted" by being too bass-heavy, but they don't sound bass-heavy to me. They just sound deeper and richer and more pleasing, whether it's music or audiobooks/podcasts. They can't handle Atmos files (the 3D sound format Apple pushes on its Music service) as effectively and they can't track head motion the way the Airpod Pros do, but I always reach for the FlyBuds when I want to listen to music.FIT - 10For me, the two biggest flaws with Airpod Prods have to do with fit: they can fall out too easily if I'm exercising or dancing, and they hurt my ears after an hour or so of wear. In fact, if I wear my pros several days in a row, I'll start to get little sores on the insides of my ears and be forced to stop wearing them for a week. Obviously there's something unusual about my ear shape that doesn't play well with Apple's design, but I think that's more of a flaw in Apple's approach to industrial design than a flaw in my biology. It's not really a successful mass-market device if part of the mass-market struggles with fit. My FlyBuds, on the other hand, fit perfectly, and I pretty much forget they're there. I can wear them painlessly for hours, only removing them because it's time to recharge the batteries. They form such a good seal that they're almost as effective as the Airpod Pros at noise cancellation, and because of the tight seal they don't leak audio when I'm in public.BATTERY - 10They've probably dropped in capacity over the past 3 years, but not to any degree that I've really noticed. And the case has such a huge battery that I can go weeks before I have to charge the case again. The Airpod Pros charge fast and the case it tiny and far easier to carry around, but the battery on it drains much faster and I'm always having to recharge it between Airpod charges. (Worse still, Apple's built-in battery management software prevents the case from being fully charged by default if it thinks you don't "need" a full charge, and at least with some recent iOS versions, the setting would revert back to partial-charge mode even after you turned the feature off.) I've even used the FlyBuds case to recharge my iPhone(!), although to be fair that's less convenient now that everything is going full USB-C, because you have to use the USB-A port for external device charging. It's still a cool bonus feature, though.COST - 10I loved the FlyBuds so much that a year and a half ago I bought a back-up set just in case I lost mine and Amazon or TriBit stopped selling them. They're cheap enough that even buying two sets cost half the price of the Airpods Pro. If for some weird reason I lost both of my sets of FlyBuds today, i'd immediately buy another set without thinking about it.Conclusion: I love them. Hands down the best gadget I've bought in years, and I write that as someone who owns or has owned devices from Amazon, Apple, Steam, Nintendo, Microsoft, Boox, and countless weirdly-named electronics drop-shippers. Thanks, Tribit!

I am posting (2) reviews... a Flybud 3 review and a Flybud NC review.FLYBUD 3 - I own a bunch of under $50 TWBs and these are by far the best I have. I own the Sony WF1000's and they are sorta the bench mark so I will try and have a balanced approach when review the Flybud 3.Sound 4 - Great mid range sound. As much bass as I would every want and overall really good. I have others that I prefer for audio books (but hat is because they are "Bright" and easy to hear voices) but like these for all general use listening. My Sony's have a lot more detail and a broader sound stage, but without a side by side you would be hard pressed to tell the different when moving around. I really only notice the Sony's awesomeness while sitting and concentrating on the music. Moving around and living life in motion... I find myself grabbing the Flybuds when I am going to go work out for otherswise.Fit - These stick in you ear like an great set of earplugs. The noise ISSOLATION is the best I have by far. So good that in some case are quieter than my NC version of headphones where NC can actually amplifiy noise more so than cancel it... for example wind noise. The ear wings and the ear tips are great and the most secure TWB I own by far.Battery - I have yet to every run our of battery in the case and cant recall every running out of batter in the TWBs... so batter life is great. The ability to charge and external devise has saved me a few times. The case is a little heavy but slick (good/bad) and slides into pockets easily. I find it a little heavy for when I am wear light shorts or dress clothes, but would be the pair I took if I was to go on a road trip.Gripes - None really... except for the limited MultiFunction aspects of the MFB. I would have liked to see volume added and skip back/forth be implemented in the MFB... but I have learn to live without it.FLYBUD NCFirst... I would give them a (3) start when using the stock ear-tips. The noise isolation (vs the noise cancellation) with the stock ear-tips was terrible so I put a different set of ear-tips and that made a HUGE difference... HUGE.Fortunately Tribit acknowledges such a possibility and as a result just sent me a notice to get (3) new designed ear-tips sent my way. I am anxious to try them to see how they do. In the end this is not an uncommon issue and I find that keeping old ear-tips around so as to swap them to those that work best is a good practice and something I have done with pretty much all the TWB's I own.Packaging 5: nice as with all the Tribit products I have bought... Its nice and clean and simpleCase (4) : Nice and small, but doesn't let you use some of the bigger ear-tips from other TWB's as the charging pins to make contact. The case has 4 little lights on the front as the battery indicator and they seems to drop fast. I often find it at 50% and I am thinking "didn't i just charge that case?"... only to reflect back with the understanding that I had been using them constantly for the past couple of days... so I suspect the hours claimed are correct.... I just got use to the Flybud 3' monster 2600mah battery case and seeing those battery lights rarely fall below 75%. lol.Earbud Battery (5) - They say 8 to 10 hrs for the earbud... that is awesome and I have no reason not to believe it. I have yet to wear them out, but the longest I wore them was likely 3hrs to 4hrs... so your experience my vary, but for the record I have gotten "low battery" warnings on all my other earbuds BUT the Flybud NC's. kudo on the battery life.Earbud Sound (4) - Great for the price. They are not as detailed as my Sony 1000's (they are very nice and detailed, but cost $200), but are nice in the mids with bass where you need it. I listen to the a lot of podcast and I find the sound of the FB-NC's to be well balanced and I don't get fatigued listening over an extended period of time. If I didn't have the Sony's to compare them I would give them a 5. Great sound for the price.Earbud Noise Cancellation (4) - as noted WITH the different ear-tips installed the NC is really good for white noise and general background noise. I would say it cuts down that "sort of noise" by 60 to 70% and works great. Again the Sony's do it better, but without a side by side comparison you would likely not be able to tell the difference between the Tribits and the Sonys. NC works great in office/inside environments... Very nice for car rides and plane rides and such, but not so good for outside when there is wind blowing (an issue with the Sony's as well). The wind disrupts the "NC" aspects of the earbuds and can cause more noise... the good thing is you can turn it off and use them like normal TWB. The pass-thru aspect is very nice to have and I find I use it more than I expected. Nice feature.Some grips:- They stay in good with different ear-tips, but not very well with the stock ear-tips.- They don't have volume control and some of the other aspects of other TWB's multi-touch button, but I have learned to live with it.I find that:- I carry these FB-NC's now when I leave the house.- I carry the Flybud 3 now whenever I am going to go do anything active, especially outside where Noise Cancellation is less effective and Noise Isolation is most important... something (noise isolation) the Flybud 3's do better than any other TWB i have tried- I use my sony's when I really want to get lost in the music and isolate myself. They are very impressive and create a detailed sound stage that none of the other TWB's I have tried can do... but again they cost 5 times as much.Hope this helps.
