Tribit FlyBuds NC

The earbuds arrived well packaged. The manufacturer's packaging itself is so well done and solid, they could slap a mailing label and postage on their box and I'm sure the buds would arrive in fine condition. As others have mentioned both the earbuds themselves as well as the charging case arrived with a decent charge (mine were reading about 90%) so there was no wait time to dig and get them paired to see how they worked. Pairing was a breeze. Remove the little plastic insulation from the charging points, place it in my ear and open the BT on my phone, my iPad, my Chromebook. Each device promptly displayed the TriBit logo and seamlessly connected to the earbuds. Sound quality of music played from my iPad was very good. They claim to have excellent bass and while it was good, don't expect a sub woofer. Highs were clear and distinct. Capacitive touch controls work well once you remember the number of taps for each function. Voice prompts help you select the proper ANC mode. ANC seems to work fine but I wasn't able to generate a really noisy situation to test them fully. Due to not being able to give the ANC the "acid" test, I only allowed that function 4 stars. I know that it works but just how well remains to be seen. ANC, like tonal quality, is fairly subjective anyway so my 4 stars might be someone else's 5 stars or even 2 stars. Paired with my Samsung Galaxy S10+ audio reception was very clear and my voice transmission was also clear. An interesting thing is that I found you can use EITHER the right or left earbud as a standalone device with the phone if you wish. No need for stereo, but what the use as a mono device means is that you actually have DOUBLE the stated battery times when using it as a mono earbud for the phone. Theoretically giving you 20 hours or so of time without the need to recharge the buds and a whopping 70 hours of use before needing to recharge the charging case. I admit that I was a bit leery about the lack of a volume control on these buds but in practice I don't think that it is a big deal. I pretty much set my listening volume at the device and let it go at that. The ear tips are comfortable and seem ready to hold fast even if you're using these while exercising. The description doesn't do the product justice as they claim to provide five pair of ear tips. In actuality you get six pair as there is a pair already installed on the earbuds plus five additional pair. I noticed that some reviewers commented on the finish of the earbuds and the charging case indicating that it will show fingerprints. Really? C'mon, folks. If you're that anal about finger prints, clean the PBJ off your hands before you use them. Both the case and the buds have a smooth matt black finish and I can't for the life of me find a reason to complain about the finish. Bottom line is you get a great product at a nice price!

I bought these for my 22 year-old-daughter on 12/19/2020. Sound quality is excellent! The noise cancelation is awesome. She can barely hear the vaccuum that is in dining room when running in big open living/dining area while she sits in living room. Says it is a soft humming sound. Does NOT hear us talking to her unless we make pretty loud noise. She really likes them for studying in public places or at home. Battery life is great at about 6 hours. The nice thing about the charge is that one charge will last her all week if she just uses an hour here and a couple hours there. It doesn't just run out over time unless they are being used. She is very pleased with the battery life. She says they are very comfortable (she is picky about comfort) and that they do not fall out when she runs on the treadmill. Distance: I have included a picture that shows you how far she walked away from the phone on our porch until it started to glitch. She started back to house and it picked right back up and did not disconnect. This was a cool cloudy day in upper 40's. May do better or worse with different weather. The only issue she has had but has been resolved as of today: When she first got them they played pretty loudly and had nice bold sound. Three days later she dropped one on a hard floor and both started playing at much quieter sound. Looking back, we don't actually think the fall to floor was what caused the quietness. She decided to keep them anyway because she loved the noise canceling and everything else about them. Sound quality was not impacted. Just the loudness. Just today (4 months after purchase), she had to reconnect them to her phone because her device no longer recognized them and once completed they were playing loudly again just like the first day! We are starting to think there is a little issue with the type of phone she has. She has a OnePlus 6T (a phone she loves, but would not recommend with Verizon. Supposedly the kinks are worked out with Verizon if you have the newer OnePlus. That is another whole story, but none of the tricks worked to get group-texting to work ). Not sure what type of phone others have who report quieter sound with these earbuds, but I would be curious to know. She loves these earbuds and would buy again. I will probably buy some for myself and my other daughter when our Apple earbuds give out.

I have been on (what seems like) an endless quest to find the "perfect" earbud. I have tried several types (over ear, in ear, ambient aware), and they have ALL had their drawbacks from my standpoint. For full disclosure, I WANT to be able to hear my surroundings and NOT have the plugged in feeling that earbuds typically provide. I had a previous pair of wireless earbuds that were over 3 times the price of these. They were great, but the drawback was when I had them in my ears, I was not aware at all of anything around me. While that is good for most people, I want the ability to be able to hear ambient noise. Plus, I had the constant "plugged in" feeling with the earbuds in my ear. I had a pair of "ambient aware" totally wireless headphones, and the battery life was atrocious. I have been hearing about the "pass-through" or "ambient mode" on earbuds, and had searched all over to see if I could get an example of how that sounds (with no luck). I had a pair of Tribit over-ear headphones, and they sounded great at a cheap price, but were heavy. So I came across these.... they seemed to check all the boxes that I was looking for, and were on sale for $30. So I pulled the trigger. First, the earbud tips that come in the box were horrible. They are very shallow, and definite ear wax collectors. But, remember my earbud quest? I was not short on tips, and used ones from my previous headphones. So no problem there anymore. The sound was very mid- heavy, but I am picky about sound and had purchased an excellent equalizer app on the Play Store (Eqfy), and adjusted it. Wow. So now these sound as good as the buds that I had that were over 3 times the price. Next, I cycled through the noise cancellation, ambient on and ambient off modes. Noise cancellation gives me a sensation of pressure in my ears and drowns out some sounds. I can still hear kids yelling, but not when they are just talking in random conversation. I do not hear the background hum of the fridge, the fan on the computer, etc. I imagine there are better options out there, but honestly, I will use this feature probably only when I cut grass. Next, with the ambient on mode, I hear everything with the earbuds in and music off. Weirdly, I do not feel the plugged in feeling of earbuds with them. It might be a false sensation from being able to hear the hum of the fridge or the fan on the computer. However, as music volume goes up, I lose the ambient noise. I did try these while running, and was able to hear cars approaching from behind and dogs barking. But, I did catch a lot of wind noise. Overall, I like it and it serves it's purpose. Just don't expect to be able to have your music on AND carry out a normal conversation. It does it's job, and increases your situational awareness. Lastly, the ambient off is just standard buds in your ears mode. However, there are certain drawbacks. There is not a volume option on the earbud itself. I knew this going in and didn't think it would be a big deal. However, as I start getting further in to runs, I tend to crank up the music more for additional motivation. I wear a Garmin and do still carry my phone with me in an armband. The way my Garmin is set up, I do not think there is an option for me to control my volume with the buttons without pausing the workout, and accessing the armband is a little tricky. Maybe I'll figure out a method, but it would be a little nice to have an option to increase or decrease volume on the headphone itself. The next gripe I have is there is not an on/off switch (or one that I have seen so far) on these earbuds. To turn off, you have to put in the charging case. I'm not a fan of that, as I do want battery drain to cycle through every now and then. So to solve that, I disconnect them from my phone and let them sit out of the case. I believe they auto-turn off after a certain amount of time. So all-in-all, GREAT earbuds with a few drawbacks. However, for the price, they are definitely a GREAT option, especially when combined with an equalizer on whatever device you are using.

For the price of this headset, I'd say these are moderately worth it. Out the box, pairing is basically as simple as it should be. You can speak on calls with either side of the earbuds while the other charges. As far as call quality goes, it cancels a decent amount of ambient noise on the outside. People I spoke with only complained about wind noise when it's windy out. The 4 mics do a decent job at cutting out more heavy duty noise. Battery life is fantastic. I have had a few days where I was out all day and it lasted the entire time. Music sounds fine, but then again I am by no means an audiophile. Nor would I even expect these to be on par with some of the high end buds. This is the deal breaker right here: After two months of ownership the right earbud outputs an extremely low volume. Almost to the point of where it is useless. Amazon only offers 30 days to return defects so I'm basically boned at this point. I'd been putting up with using only the left ear bud for a couple of weeks now, but it's starting to get annoying. I read another review where this happened to someone else in the same earbud. So as far as longevity goes, I can only suspect you'll get very low mileage out of these. I use these maybe an hour or so out of the day aside from an occasional all day. So buyer beware in that regard. These will die. Overall, for two months of mileage these are just okay. It's packed with a lot of features like noise canceling, but honestly who cares if these don't last? Don't be surprised if you'll be replacing these in a couple of months. Should these have lasted longer, I'd have continued supporting Tribit. But I can only surmise these will continuously break around 2-3 months, if it makes it that long.

Got these at a great price under 30. I was expecting it to be too good to be true. But they did work, sound quality is good, not super quality like a $100 plus pair, but I was very happy. Noise cancellation worked, it didn't seem to cancel out as much as some other headphones and earbuds I have tried. They did not seem to cancel out the midrange frequencies as well as some other brands. I have yet to try them out on a plane which will be the true test of how they compare since most active noise cancelling systems tend to do best at low frequencies. I have yet to wear them for over 3.5 hours, so I can't truly judge how they work as far as battery life. They pair very quickly, they auto turn them selves on and pair as soon as you remove them from the case. In the end I was very very happy with my purchase. I often mention to my fiancée how much I like them, for they offer quite good quality for a very low price. I very rarely review an item but I have been so happy with them I had to write a review. I have this pair of earbuds paired with my phone and I was considering buying another pair for my pc however the price seems to have gone up. I'll wait till after the holidays and see if the price goes back down.

I have tried a few different sets of wireless earbuds, most lacking in one place enough that my search has continued. I needed these for zoom and phone calls first. When i first got them, i called my mom to test them and she said that I sounded clearer than my normal phone microphone (s8+). My mom is very blunt, so that was a ringing endorsement. So much so that she wants to buy a set for my sisters mumbling iphone (her words). It has really good noise cancelling, which worked great when walking on a windy autumn day while on a phone call. No wind tunnel sound around my ears or from microphone. The ear buds synced with my laptop and I sampled some youtube videos. Voices sounded clear and music was punchy with pleasing bass. Bonus was that i could pause videos with a double tap. The size first seemed bulky for my ear, but once i was wearing them, they looked and felt fine. No bulk. I really like them. These little ear buds are the whole package. Good case, good ear buds with great sound. Crystal clear sound, nice bass notes. Most importantly they connect easily and work with taps, not little buttons. If you're this far. Just get them.

Let me start with what is great about this product: multitasking. You can connect each earbud to a different device and listen to music while in a conference call or play a video game or something! Joking aside, these are frustrating, disappointing and waste of time so far. I need to connect these to different devices like for work to my Windows 10 system, then for phone calls a mobile phone, then for games to my tablet, etc. When I started testing this which is something I am doing with my Samsung wireless headphones all the time, these could not handle connect and disconnects I believe and "crashed." Here is the problems with these Tribit FlyBuds: 1- They get out of sync and impossible to get synced again (so, they can connect to multiple devices at the same time or connect to same device twice). Instructions in the manual do not work. 2- Instruction manual is not adequate. Information is incorrect (for instance, it says "left" instead of "right" earbud control, it is very frustrating until you figure out the mistake). There is not enough info, for instance it does not say anything about whether you could charge both the case and the buds at the same time or not. 3- These are NOT true Plug-and-Play. Windows 10 systems do not recognize them. You have to go to Control Panel and then Hardware and Sound, Devices and Printers and then Add a Device. If you delete the buds later, because it may be needed to make these work, then you have to Add a Device again the same procedure. I had to do this in both of my Win10 computers. 4- The control buttons are a hit or miss. They may or may not work. They may do things you did not intend to. 5- There is no volume control though the Amazon web description says there is. 6- If you intend to use them for work like conference calls, these are not reliable enough. This was my intention but it is a shame that they cannot even connect to each other. 7- Sound quality is mediocre, bass is good but treble is not at all. I have just received these and started tested. Now, they refuse to pair (sync) with each other. I was thinking, due to good reviews, I would buy another pair for my wife but unfortunately the one I got I am afraid is going to be returned. I am glad I wanted to test one first. Hope this helps others. Good luck!

These little earbuds are great, especially considering the price! I received them and immediately opened - they had some battery life already and immediately was able to pair them and size the rubber tips to fit my ears comfortably. (They include 5 different sized tips for you!) The little hardcarryibg/charge case is a nice surprise, as it’s small enough for my pocket and uses usb-c to charge. The sound quality sounds fine to me - I had a friend take them outside the house to call me so I could hear how the microphone sounds, and heard them loud and clear. Noise cancellation is a nice touch - but I definitely like the ambient pass through, as it means I can shop with them and not have to keep taking them out of my ear to hear someone talking to me. Overall, they sound great, they are light and comfortable, and they are a fraction of the price of comparable AirPods. I liked them enough to gift some to a friend!
