A Perfect Alternative to AirPods
I recently picked up this pair of wireless earbuds and I’m honestly really impressed with them. The price was a huge factor as a more affordable alternative to AirPods, but the performance is definitely not lacking.The sound quality is surprisingly good, with solid bass that makes gaming and music a real pleasure. I primarily use them with my Meta Quest headset, and they work like a charm. Pairing is a breeze; they connect instantly without any hassle, which is always a win.Comfort is another big plus. These earbuds are lightweight and comfortable to wear for long periods, which is important for extended gaming sessions. I’m honestly really satisfied with these earbuds and feel like I got great value for the price. Highly recommended if you want great performance without breaking the bank!

5+ YEAR PURCHASE, still good!
I’ve had these earbuds for at least 5 years now. I use them maybe 3-4x/week to work out or for coffee shop studying. I highly recommend these earbuds. They’re small and convenient to bring along. Highly recommend!Sound quality is acceptable – I have no complaints but am not knowledgeable when it comes to that. Haven’t had much of an issue with phone calls either. There is some but not full noise canceling, but I prefer it that way because I like to be aware of my surroundings.The longest use I’ve gotten from a single wear is roughly 4-5 hours before needing to charge. Rarely do I need to charge the case itself though (I’ve never used it enough to completely run out of battery), the battery life is great and I only charge maybe like 1-2x a month when I remember to. The earbuds also charge pretty fast; it only needs maybe 20-30 minutes before having a long wear again.The only caveat that I’ve noticed is that the touch sensitivity dulls with time and is not very perceptive to double tapping. Also, because I’ve used it for so long sometimes the ear buds do not properly connect to the charge port in the case and stay on without me knowing. In these instances I’ve noticed you just need to clean the little charge port with a q-tip and it’ll charge properly again.

I have small ears – these aren’t a great fit
Kurdene S8I was looking for a new pair of wireless earbuds and couldn’t look at any on Amazon without being shown an ad for these. They seemed affordable and had a lot of great reviews. Either I received a dud, or these are deceptive.CASEI don’t like the case. It’s bulky and doesn’t really fit in my pockets. It’s an odd shape to hold. Rather than a notch to open, this case has a lip. The magnets holding it closed are quite strong – I’ve had other wireless headphones and what sets this case apart is that between the awkward shape, the odd lip, and the strength of the magnets, I have to grip a bit harder and push a bit harder than I expect to in order to open the case. I’m sure I’d get used to it if I used them more often, but, on the first use, I thought the case was accidently glued shut. if you have any sort of hand mobility/grip strength issues, I would not recommend these.Note: The headphones claim to be IPX8 rated, but the case does not. They also don’t recommend submerging in water, whereas Tozo (on their website, not on Amazon) claim their IPX8 rated products can not only be submerged in water, they can also be cleaned with soap! That includes the case. If you’re intending to buy headphones to use near a pool, lake, or ocean I do not recommend these.FITAfter I found the tips that fit best, I had the sensation that they were falling out of my ears, though with a nice seal they seemed secure – I tried shaking my head and they were still in my ears – they felt like they were constantly sliding out. With the really thin tips, it felt like it wasn’t secure. Even when I rotated them, they were a bit large for my ear and stuck out a bit – I would not recommend for smaller ears.SOUNDThey sound ok. If you want better sound, I’d recommend wired headphones as better sound can be had for about the same amount. As-is they’re fine for listening to music, podcasts, etc on the go. I have some wired earbuds that I use for passive noise-cancelling on planes. I otherwise prefer to be aware of my surroundings. Even with a seal, these have no sound isolation whatsoever. Even quiet noises could be heard. Additionally, if I had a seal and walked around in them, they sounded a bit weird, though I think that’s just a noise caused by physically blocking my ear canals and not necessarily the headphones themselves.BUG?A single tap on the outer part (button) is supposed to play/pause the music. I tapped once to pause, then once to play. Instead of playing, the earbud I tapped beeped (as seems to happen when tapping/touching the button – I believe it is a noise to let you know your tap/touch registered), then the earbud I didn’t tap beeped twice. The music did not resume. I tried again and it worked. That’s the sort of bug I experienced 10 or so years ago. There have been so many improvements in technology, I’m surprised this happened within hours of receiving them after they had been charged.THOUGHTSUnless I received duds, I can’t see these being good for too many people. Even if you’re on a budget, Kurdene’s own S9 (which is currently (02/24/2023) available for about $9 if you check the box for 50% off) resolves most of my issues. The case is a more standard size, thin enough to fit in a pocket, opens much easier, buds are smaller and don’t need to go far into the ear canal. Sound is a bit better in my opinion. It even has LED indicators to show you how charged the case is. A huge improvement across the board, available for less, from the same company. Yet, when I started looking at new earbuds, the S8s were advertised on every single listing and search. They were pushed hard. With over 60k reviews, the overwhelming majority of people impressed by them, I thought I’d give them a try. Even at under $15, I don’t think they’re worth keeping as spares and I intend to return.
