1MORE ComfoBuds Mini Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Earbuds, In-Ear Headphones with Stereo Sound, Bluetooth 5.2 Headset with 4 Mics, Clear Calls, Wireless Charging, Soothing Sound, Waterproof, White

1more have a reputation for cramming a lot of function into their products at a reasonable cost and I'm a fan of some of their higher end ANC headphones but didn't have huge expectations of these, being at the lower end of the range ( although maybe a little pricey at full RRP) However, pleasantly surprised that despite some limitations on the range of functional touch controls, these are great for day to day commuting if you want something comfortable to wear and fuss free. Due to the size, they're ideal for wearing under hoods/beanies without being pushed uncomfortably into the ear so are my go to cold weather buds. Noise cancelling is a bit lacking but you might be as well to up the volume to get the kind of sound isolation that is effective in noisy environments - no bigge for me. End of the day, let's not be too finicky about sound quality as it was always going to be hard to get audiophile quality out of earbuds this size at this price band ... and yes, they're pretty good as sleep buds ( soothing sounds functionality included) but you're not going to get a full 7/8 hours out of them before low battery notifications start pinging through & doesn't seem to be a way of switching these off unfortunately. Sound ID personalisation in app ( as opposed to EQ function) is an interesting add on but whether this is useful is probably a matter of opinion - does vary the timbre and profile of sound but EQ would probably work better to get the sound you prefer

Bought these to counteract my partners very loud snoring. Have tried countless headphones and ear buds but these are the best yet. I Have a pair of airpod pros and noise cancellation is comparable with these headphones. Sound quality is not as good as the pros but I don't use these for paying attention to my music but to drift off to sleep! Often I can sleep with these just on noise cancellation mode but no music - it muffles the snoring noise just enough to be background noise. When it's particularly bad I play music and am then totally in a world of my own and asleep in minutes. I am a side sleeper and these are far more comfortable than others I have tried due to the low profile (although do ache a bit after a whole night). Battery lasts all night in ANC mode only (no music). Definitely not so long with music. As others have said the low battery noise is a little annoying but actually quite a quiet non obtrusive noise. Bottom line these have been a life saver and always have them by the side of the bed for when the snoring ramps up.

How it started.Brilliantly effective small earbuds. Not the absolute best sound quality or noise reduction but the size, fit, and convenience make them the best ones I've tried.How it's Going.Worked well for 6 months. Now Broken. Doesn't always connect to phone. Poor Bluetooth stability. Dropouts. Obviously a software/firmware issue.Can't give more than 1 star as these are now effectively unusable. Too expensive to throw away after 6 months use.

I love the way these look in my ears, how comfortable they are, the red colour and the way the case looks and fits in my pocket. The sound quality is decent but that's not something I know a lot about, I mostly listen to audiobooks or lo-fi stuff while studying and all that sounds fine. According to people I've talked to on the phone with them on the mic quality is decent, as good as my phone's mic at least.The best thing for me is how they sit relatively flush in my ears, which are quite shallow. They sit shallow enough that I can fall asleep in them for a nap without any discomfort.They feel kind of secure in my ears, but I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing them to exercise. A sudden movement or having them bumped can cause them to fall out. I do find myself having to readjust them periodically, which can lead to accidental touches leading to ANC being turned, audio being paused or voice assistant being turned on by accident. The eartips aren't the best fitting for me either, I've had other earbuds with much better passive isolation and that gripped my ears better. I have tried all four ear tip sizes, but maybe my ears are just weirdly sized.Even after using them for a couple of weeks I still find it difficult to consistently register the correct number of touches to get the command I want. Often nothing will happen when I try to play/pause, or I'll accidentally get the voice assistant. I've only compared them to the Soundcore A3i, that have a physical button and found I much preferred the physical button. I'm not sure how the touch control compares to other earbuds with touch control.I'm not sure if I've just received two defective models, but the ANC modes have not worked at all for me. This is the quality issue I mentioned in my headline. The first I received started producing a screeching feedback sound in the left earbud when in ANC mode after a day of use. The second pair I received produced this sound from the first use. The transparent mode also doesn't work well, producing a whooshing sound, or static sound, maybe a waterfall sound. But anyway, it doesn't make anything transparent. Aside from this, the sound equalization changes when in the different ANC modes, which is kinda weird.I've also run into some glitches. A few times they stop receiving sound and I had to put them back in the case, close it and re-open it so that they will work again. Turning bluetooth off then on again does not fix the issue. One time I had a bizarre issue where the volume in the left earbud was super quiet. Again putting them in the case then taking them out again fixed it. All these issues occurred on the newest firmware update.I've seen others online complain about the quality, even the left earbud in particular, so it seems like recurring issue. Especially since I had the exact same issue with two pairs. Might be worth mentioning that both buds were from the same 04/2022 batch, maybe other batches would work better.Overall I like them but with all the issues I don't think they are worth the price. If the Soundcore A3i fit better I'd much rather have them, especially since you can get them for £45-£50, compared to the £70-£93 these earbuds usually cost. In comparison with the A3i I didn't have any glitches, the button worked consistently, the app has great equalizer settings, the ANC worked better and the ear tips had better passive isolation. Unfortunately, especially with my shallow ears, they stick out too much, and can't be worn while I sleep. I also much preferred the style of the ComfoBuds, both for the earbuds and the case.
