I like the quality of product, sounds are perfect and you can still hear if someone or something is coming by you to pass or talk to you. This enables you to still be aware of areas around you. The comfort of wearing the takes a little to get use to.
adam –
very poor sound quality, crackles, distortion, drops totally, instructions are vague, couldn’t change device – just terrible. I am assuming my paid are faulty as other reviews are very positive. returned for a refund.
Vanessa Rutherford –
Like another reviewer stated, I’m a little taken aback by how good these sound. I’ve only ever used ear buds that go inside the ear or muff style headphones, so these are new to me. I just didn’t think I could get as good a sound quality if they didn’t go in the ear, but I stand corrected.I was interested in these because my ears get irritated very easily. I like to listen to music for long periods of time, but I often can’t stand something inside my ear that long. Not to mention, it’s hard to find a good fit and my ears are small, so I have to constantly deal with them popping out and having to put them back in. I also have good ANC headphones, but try walking around with those in 100 degree heat. Sweaty ears are the worst. I was intrigued by the fact that these just hang over the ear and I don’t have to worry about them being displaced. Let me tell you, they stay in place and offer EXCELLENT sound quality. Seriously. It’s as if you’re walking around with a boombox on your head. Setup was easy. They needed a firmware update right out of the box, but that was no big deal. Took minutes and I was done. They’re extremely comfortable and even considering how thick the clips are, they still don’t make my ears sore or fatigued. The only issue I’m having with them is that they are cutting out and losing connection every so often. It comes right back and it’s only a slight annoyance, but it is annoying nonetheless. I’m also considering what these cost and thinking that I could get Bose or Sony for around the same price, both of which are well-known, established brand names. I’m not a brand person, but that is still something I think should be considered in this situation. I’m also not thrilled about them not having wireless charge capability as this is 2023 and these are almost $200 bucks. The multipoint feature is something I absolutely would never use, but it’s quite appealing to some folks, so that’s a good feature to have in this price point. The touch control is sensitive and so long as you tap in the right place, you’ll get the results you’re looking for. There are no physical buttons, but most others don’t have them either. The case is made well, slim profile and reasonably sized considering these have two big clips on them.Battery life is….suspect. I ran them down right out of the box with almost a full charge within about 4 to 5 hours. I had the volume at max, but this is still a far cry from the 35 hour claim. We’d just have to see about that. I’d never wear them for that duration of time anyway, but I do like my buds to endure the day with me as I need them.Listen, these aren’t for everyone and I’m not saying they are. What I am saying is that if you happen to be looking for an alternative to earbuds that will stay in place and give you a high quality listening experience, these are worth looking into. The cutting out could be a number of things on my end. My phone is an ancient iPhone xr, my internet is satellite based, so many factors. Again, they’re worth giving a shot if you’re interested in the type they are. I just caution that if you experience the issue I mentioned, you return them immediately as it is indeed an issue with the buds.

Sound quality is better than my Bose. Fit on ear is secure. Fits well even when wearing glasses. Additional features such as head motion response, 6 preset equalizer options plus customizable if you don’t like any of the other options, step/activity counter, and UV sanitizer built into rechargeable carry case make this the best earphones I’ve ever owned!

So, I’ll start with the sound quality, these OTE Headphones sound great, crisp highs, good mids, with decent lows. Bluetooth connects easily, stays connected, and has a decent amount of range. The battery life is very good, and depending on how you use them will last for days. The comfort of these headphones is okay, but I believe that’s personal preference. I will say they stay in place even while doing a heavy workout. Now what I don’t like about them are the touch controls, the touch controls are inconsistent! Thats actually the only reason I took a star off, was because of the inconsistency, sometimes the touch works fine, other times they don’t, but maybe it’s just me, idk. Overall, I’m very happy with these headphones, I will say they are on the pricey side, but worth it for the quality.

Gave these a try and I’m so glad I did. I always have problems with the in ear style falling out of my ear or if I do find some that stay put I end up with a pimple in my ear from sweating. Sound quality is great. And they are comfortable to wear. It took a little practice to get them in place at first as I kept getting them tangled in my hair but they are now my favorite ear buds. I hope they last forever. Come in a nice sturdy carrying/charging case.
