TREBLAB X5

If, like me, you can't wear earbuds without earhooks, these are for you. Choose the right size tip and hook from the variety of sizes and you'll have a very secure fit. Zero movement. I've included a photo to show the best fit in the charging case with ear hooks on as it can be a bit finicky.Design:- Quite good. As stated the fit is excellent. And very comfortable. I've sat on the train from Leeds to London, with these in all the journey and felt no discomfort at all. They have independent volume controls too so you'll get masses of volume as well as your usual play/pause, skip etc. They don't turn on automatically when you take them out of the case or charge automatically when you place them back, which is a bit odd. You have to manually turn them on and off and there is a button on the case to start charging. I feel this is unnecessary, all Bluetooth buds should pair as soon as you take them out and start to charge the instant you put them back in. Battery life is pretty good. After 4hrs at 80% volume they were still going strong. The case too is very discreet. Slips into my jeans pocket and you can hardly feel its there.Sound:- Excellent. Some of the best sounding Bluetooth earbuds I've used. No aptx but straight forward, solid sound. Plenty of bass, clear mid-range and open, bright treble. They also have a wide soundstage. There is no noise cancellation at this price but the noise isolation is very good and minimal noise leakage.These are the second pair of these I tried. The first had some connection issues but the manufacturers got in touch to send another pair and these have been faultless. Special mention to Aleksey at customer service who went above and beyond in sorting out this issue.All in all, an excellent product. Not quite 5 stars, they really do need auto pairing/charging which is quite standard for wireless buds but easily worth a 4 star rating and highly recommended.

Can't fault the sound quality of these true wireless earphones. They are replacements for misplaces NRG Symphonized earphones which had a wire connection between the left & right earpieces with the expected benefits. These don't quite have the lovely acoustic open clarity of my NRG buds in the mid-high range which were housed in wood casing (and how) but otherwise they do matches the NRGs for sound, prob with a bit more bass. Good volume, I like my music on the loud if not deafening side. Getting a good fit with good isolation (while actually playing music) from the medium size silicone tips and ear fins - not a foam fan and struggled to get them on the earpiece to even try out. But I love that Treblab give you such a good choice of sizes and type of tips and fins to choose from, for pretty much any size and even mismatched ears!These will never be as lightweight or slimline as the hallowed Airpods, and I can't say that I don't feel them at all, or the extra weight in my ears, but after about 90mins straight use so far, no discomfort as of yet. Love the charging case, and I'd say these are excellent value for money.I saw some users have talked about sound drop-outs in the left ear and I've noticed that below a certain volume range the left (slave) earpiece may struggle to pick up audio signal from the right (master) piece - at least I believe it's volume related as I often hear a quick fade-in from the right to left earpiece at the very start of a song when track volumes are still gaining. Not a problem for me at this point, but haven't used the earphones in a crowded place yet, so not sure how they will perform with more external physical / airwave interference.

Sound quality is great, and they look really stylish from the way the packaging to the ear phones themselves BUT there is a bit of an annoying issue, and I don't seem to be the only person who's come across it.I received them yesterday, un-boxed them, switch them on, paired them and connected to my phone to test... left earphone would cut out every thirty seconds, then behave and then come back again... was like I was trying to have a mini brain aneurysm. Connected to my main laptop and it did the same... Took them to bed with me to retry after Googling it to see if it was common brought back a 'how to reset if sound cuts out'. Reset and tried with my phone, still did the same so tried with my bedroom laptop and they worked fine. Deleted from my main laptop, reconnected and I've managed to watch a documentary on YouTube without cutting out.I mainly bought them to use at work so if they work ok on my work laptop will depend if I keep them or send them back, but they're earphones.... You shouldn't need to f*nny about with earphones to get them to work - take out of the box, switch on, pair them, connect to device and off you go.Would I recommend them - yes when they're behaving or if you can get them to connect with any issues.
