AirLoop Snap 3-in-1 Earbuds, Black

Pros:- sounds amazing and phenomenal quality 🎧- 3 in 1 earbuds❤️. Used it for gym, work and in other environments- The packaging is very sleek and we'll maintained 📦- very comfortable to wear and easily detects and connects to my ears😁- can use almost as close as 10hrs of use on one go; very happy with that and very close to 10hrs when I tried it- Really love this feature which is that it has CVC noice cancellation ❤️; no audio leaksCons:- It does irritate my ears after using it for a couple of hours; yet this happens with all the earphones I use, so could be subjective- The charging case is a bit big, wish it was small enough to carry it everywhere, but can still it, does feel uncomfortable when walking around too much- would say it is expensive at £99.99💸, however, the quality and the sound makes up to it, yet wish it was cheaperOverall, these earbuds are spectacular, never have seen a 3 in 1 earbuds before, first time trying it and loving it❤️. The quality and sound is amazing, the beats are all good and it is very easy to connect; it detects my ears which is a cool feature too. Also, the packaging came well maintained and has a notice cancellation feature which I love the most out of any earbuds becasue sound doesn't leak and it didn't with this one. Only concern is the price and does feel uneasy over time as it irritates my skin, but this could be subjective but overall very good earbuds and would recommend ❤️!

What drew me to there was the IP rating. At IPx7 this is almost the top rating for water protection. It can withstand anything from drops of water, powerful water jets, to immersion upto a metre deep. This makes this little set suited to a variety of outdoor as well as some water sports.They offer a rather good 10 hour with an additional 7 full charges including the charging case. That's a very pleasing 80 hours runtime.● The Charging Case:A long aluminium hexagonal case which is gunmetal grey in colour - twice the length of the AirPods case. Quite wide and chunky. They would be apparent in a slim fitting trouser pocket.Yet they charge via a USB-C charging port which is a very welcome addition for a new kickstarted brand.● The Neckbands:You get *two* neckbands with this set. They connect quickly with magnetic pins. One, slightly thicker, which holds an additional 12 hours of battery life. I'm not short on power with the neckband topped up with power, along with the further backup power of around 80 hours that the case offers (volume dependent). I am able to travel for work for a long weekend, and not worry about mains charging this power-rich set at all.There's a second, slick, lightweight neckband which also connects via magnetic pins, but, offers addition protection with the aid of soft silicone rings that wrap around the earbud for added 'tug' safety. Much more suited for active sports - as a good precautionary measure. Especially if you have ears that 'ping' your buds right back out at your personal trainer whilst you're working out. You don't want to waste time crouched over looking for these, especially with eyes welled with tears with the arduous workout the PT is goading you through. Of course, Covid restrictions permitting.● The Fit:They're not the flattest when in-ear. They are bulkier which appeals to some people and they protrude out too. But with that bulk comes the additional weight, which isn't ideal for some sports were balance is key. Though, extra tips and wings are provided to suit your size.● The Sound:The sound is fairly good at this price range, they are mid-tone heavy. Bass is kept to a minimum with no option to manually equalise. As of writing there is not a software/app that the Airloops can sync with for further updates or to manually adjust the sound to match my preference.Even though this is a 3 in 1 set that has a very long battery life, its well laid out, with a good range of accessories as well as feeling expensive. In my opinion, the quality of the sound and the very chunky case means I favour these less than the AirPods. But that said, these are much cheaper than the Apple Pros and for that reason they're good value.4 stars

The unique selling point of the AirLoops is the magnetic connection that is used to secure the Buds into the battery case can also be used to connect to the supplied neck band that offers extended battery life.The buds themselves are quite large with two buttons, one for connecting and one for functions. Like with many of these buds, I found that I could accidentally press the buttons while putting them in, which I find quite annoying. I'm not sure they need two buttons.Inside the box is a large collection of different sized tips and silicon hooks to help secure them (You may well need these.)The Buds themselves are quite large, but not heavy. I found the largest size of tips suited me, but find them bit fiddly getting them into my ears. There seems to be knack of twisting them in place and getting the hook under your earlobe. Once they are in they are fairly secure, but when I went out for a walk I did find that they started to slide out. Maybe more fiddling with the many tips would help this.I liked the neck band. The connection is keyed so they can only be connected one way, and the extra battery life is useful. I also found it very comfortable, as it rested on my shoulders perfectly and I could hardly tell it was there. There's also a necklace supplied that wraps around the buds. I would think both of these are required when running/walking.Sound quality is phenomenal. I listened to some jazz and Tangerine Dream, plus some Prog rock and really found the instruments clear and nicely spaced out. No distortion, and really warm, pleasant sound. I can't fault the sound at all.I rarely use the controls on these things, but found them responsive and I was pleased that the in-ear detection worked perfectly- removing a bud caused the music to pause. Connecting to an iPhone was fine and there was no drop outs and disconnections.I like the charging box, even if it is a big large. When you push it to close it you can stop before the end it carries on with a reassuring snap. I've used them for a few hours without having to recharge, so battery life is good.This is a premium product, high quality construction with brilliant sound and plenty of options. My only quibble is that they have a habit of sliding out of my ears and they're a bit fiddly to get in.If you want a set of buds that can be used a true wireless buds AND with a necklace, these are highly recommended.
