My First Bluetooth Earbuds - A GREAT First Impression
Intro:I had wanted to purchase wireless earbuds for a long time now, but didn't want to shill out the $100 companies like Apple and Samsung were asking for for their respective products. I figured I would look into a cheaper, alternative options, which is how I ended up finding LinkLike's True Wireless Earbuds here on Amazon for slick $40. They looked nice, came in black (unlike AirPods), and even had an "out port" do double up as a portable charger, so I figured I HAD to give it a go. Let's just say, after a week of use, I don't even feel the need to upgrade to a more "premium pair" of earbuds!Unboxing Experience:First impressions are important, and these earbuds made a great one. The unboxing experience was a pleasure, and the product includes a charging cable, and various sizes of different ear tips. Something to note is that these earbuds don't come with with a power adapter, so you will need to provide your own (this isn't much of a big deal, but I would have liked to have a "Linklike" branded wall plug!).First Impressions & Initial Pairing:Upon taking them out of the box, I noticed that each earbud has a button on them. These are used for for playing and pausing music, as well as pairing the earbuds to a phone or computer. The buttons are quite tactile (which I like), and have an audible click to them when you press them down. The charging dock (I guess what you'd call it?) is also very nice, having an "in" and "out" port, a batter indicator, and even magnets of each of it it so that the earbuds can comfortably charge without fear of them falling out.Their fit:As I mentioned before, these earbuds come with a variety of different sized ear tips to fit to your ear. And while in the ear, these feel great! I use the default medium size that come already attached to the earbuds. I've worn these headphones while both jogging and playing volleyball, and they have NEVER fallen out. Not even once! Something I have noticed though, is that if I tilt my head far enough back, sometimes the audio in my left earbud will cutout (such as while setting a volleyball), but as soon as I return back to a regular, standing position, the problem corrects itself!Sound Quality:On the sound side of things, these headphones sound great! A lot better than the EarPods Apple includes with their Smartphones. Everything sounds clear, and the earbuds can even be used as a headset to take and receive calls. Hell, I've even worn these while editing film projects for school. No problems here!Battery life:Since these are my first wireless earbuds, I admittedly have nothing to compare them to. But what I can say is that these earbuds last a good long bit! I think once I used them for about four hours straight before having to charge them again? Not to mention that I can use the earbuds case as a charger for my phone, meaning I no longer have to carry around a bulky portable charger! A win-win!Conclusion:These are a FANTASTIC pair of wireless earbuds. They have long battery life, doubles as a portable charger, have a sleek black look, and have a reasonable price that all come together to create of of the best values for earbuds on this website. I can not wait to purchase more Linklike products in the future, and have no plans to ever upgrade to a more "premium" pair of earbuds!

If you're looking to make the jump to bluetooth wireless and earbuds, this is a good place.
I have an iPhone 8 regular and had been thinking about getting some bluetooth earbuds for a while. I didn't want to spend the nearly $180 for Apple branded ones and also wasn't sold on the hanging-on-the-ear design. I know I've read that they don't fall out but I wanted some level of noice isolation, not necessarily cancellation.Several comments/thoughts...1) I got a coupon on these that got them to me for 30% off. I was going to buy them anyway but the coupon sealed the deal.2) Fake reviews are a REAL problem on Amazon. Looking at all the look-alike products in this group was very frustrating, especially when going to the reviews and finding a large portion if not all reviews looking very suspicious. I after comparing reviews, I determined that this product from this seller had the most legit reviews. Lesson learned -> A perfect rating had a good chance to be fake.3) The features of this product that I like are the charging/rechargeable case. I wasn't sure if I would like the "stick" but it's quite small and works well. I really like the fact that they give you a number of different sized ear buds. I must have small ear holes because I defaulted to the smallest ones and they are just barely small enough for my ears. A charging cord is included. The packaging is well done.4) Use - when fitted with the smallest ear buds, they fit fine in my ear. I have to work them a bit to get them in my ear but they haven't fallen out yet after placement. The noise isolation (this is NOT cancellation) is good and why I wanted an in-the-ear design. As noted in several reviews, make sure they are fully charged. If the left unit quits working, it's almost certainly due to low charge. It happened to me once. After placing them in the charging pod for a while, they both connected again to my phone without problem. Initial connection to my phone was easy. I'm not so sure how well they move from one device to the other and I recommend that you NOT "forget" them on your primary device, otherwise you just have to start over with pairing. For my phone, whenever it's on and I take the buds out of their case, they automatically connect and the phone indicates the level of their charge. I don't know about battery run time. They have never died on me while in use. The one time I couldn't get the left unit to work, they have been sitting out side of the charger for several days. Maybe they don't hold a charge real well, I don't know.5) HERE'S the BIG ONE....Sound quality... So let me preface this by saying that I'm no audio snob. But I also think I have a decent set of ears. I rarely adjust the EQ when I listen to music other than to sometimes push up the mid-range. I like flatter "normal" sound. Extra rich sounds fake to me. So too with bass, I like a solid low end but I NEVER cramp up the low frequencies so that I can "feel the music" or whatever the reason is for that. My musical tastes range from classical to Vocal Choral to contemporary rock to pop. So...with that as it is, my impression of these earbuds is that their sound quality is very good. They deliver a very even sound platform to me. Bass is solid but not overpowering. Mids and high end feel balanced and solid. Are they premium? Of course not. Could I honestly, really tell the difference? I'm not sure I could. The old adage that you get what you pay for is generally true but I think that past a certain price point you start getting a rapid increase in the "diminishing returns" department. It's my guess that these bluetooth earbuds are at a very good place in that 'curve'.6) Longevity. Now this is the kicker. I've had these for maybe 2 weeks now. Will they last as long as higher priced options? I don't know though I'm willing to guess that long term QC is not quite at the level of an Apple product. That being the case, I guess I'm will to pay less on the front end and hope that they do last just fine. If they break in the next year it will certainly count as a loss. Guess I'll see. I'll certainly be back to adjust my review if it's needed.
