I have owned these for a few months now, and they're pretty solid for what they are. Decent battery playtime life, and they've become my all-rounder set of earphones. Can chuck them in a gym bag, or use them for portable gaming. They work well with the Nintendo Switch too. Only downside is the microphone - it's rubbish and pretty typical for these cheap sets.

Stock levels seem to vary based on location. They are a little low in South Australia across the board.

    How's the fit in the gym?
    Does it fall out?

    • dogebargain on 02/03/2022 - 12:44

      The fit is really good. The instructions tell you to put the earphone into your ear straight, then twist to lock them into your ear - and that works really well. They're suprisingly comfortable for such a cheapie set.

      • gimli on 02/03/2022 - 12:47

        Thx. Do think it Would be okay for running?

        • dogebargain on 02/03/2022 - 12:53

          No worries. Yep, they never feel like they're slipping for me. Obviously different people fit earphones differently, but I think overall they fit better than most earphones I've owned in the past

        Your description reminds me of the ear wax removal tool on Yt.

  • edrift on 02/03/2022 - 12:43

    Are they really low latency? Could you play an FPS game with them?

    I have the Sony over ear BT headphones as well as some Jabra elite BT headphones and they both lag too much to be useful in COD Mobile.

    • gimli on 02/03/2022 - 12:45

      30fps maybe
      60 probs not

      • BarneyKB on 02/03/2022 - 13:08

        The human ear can't hear more than 30fps

        • edrift on 02/03/2022 - 13:18
          -2

          I don't know how fps translates to sound, but my phone runs at 120hz screen refresh rate.
          When playing cod mobile I'm dead before I hear anyone coming using my regular latency BT headphones.

      I actually play a fair bit of COD Mobile, and while there is still a tiny bit of latency even in the low latency mode, it's pretty good. Does what it says on the box.

      • edrift on 02/03/2022 - 12:54

        Perfect!

        Do you mind sharing what phone you play on? Not sure if BT connections play a role.

        I'm using a galaxy fold 3 which I assume would have the best Bluetooth possible given it's a current gen flagship.

        • dogebargain on 02/03/2022 - 12:56
          +1

          Too easy.

          I play on a ROG Phone 3 - so I'm assuming we would be on the same BT version.

          Edit: one thing to mention to help you if you do get these. You need to tap twice on one earphone to trigger the low latency mode. Do this as soon as you power on the buds, as the confirmation sound it makes when switching between low latency/normal mode are horribly confusing. If you switch modes as soon as you switch them on, you'll know for sure you're in LL mode.

      • YouSirName on 03/03/2022 - 09:48

        Wireless earphones/headphones are not recommended for Battle Royale games like PUBG and COD that "genuinely" uses real time sound. Miss a millisecond of enemy's footstep and you are dead :D
        PS: Depends on the user level/tier though. Can't just stand an ace lobby with a Bluetooth earpiece.

    This post sent me down a rabbit hole.
    I'm now completely the NOT proud owner of a Kmart "Gaming Microphone" (and other shit). Had to try it.

    • dogebargain on 02/03/2022 - 12:54
      +1

      Hahaha! Their gaming/streaming equipment is tempting, but I've never taken the gamble on it. Seems serviceable for the price though according to YouTube reviews.

      • Dvbargain on 02/03/2022 - 12:55

        I'm not exactly taking the purchase seriously.

        But on the other hand I actually did need a microphone for recording some stuff. If it's decent I'll actually use it. If it's not I'll give it away.

      • Zackeroo on 02/03/2022 - 13:06

        I would buy the 25 cent USB mic but nothing else

      From all reports, knocks it out of the park for the cost. Myself and a friend both use it for discord and have no issues at all.

      Makers Muse, an aussie 3D printing guy did a small review on them when he first came across them - pretty unbiased: https://youtu.be/1M84sgLRmF0

    I really wonder how long do these low quality products last. They'll probably becomes very bad landfill when they do.

      They'll be average landfill

    • dogebargain on 02/03/2022 - 13:23

      I agree with you, but without knowing the landfill process, these are pretty tiny, and I'd expect them to last me at least 2 years. Nespresso capsules on the other hand…

      • TimApple on 02/03/2022 - 13:56

        2 years ain’t too bad. Some of my buddies bought headphones that lasts 6-12 months from Amazon.

    • DarthLord on 02/03/2022 - 13:26

      how long does a pair of expensive Apple airpods last? most likely battery will not hold much charge after 2-3 years too

        Been using a pair of 2nd gen AirPods since the start of 2020, haven't noticed/experienced any poor battery life. That's with relatively heavy usage (between 50-100hrs of use a month, depends whether on holidays or not) over the course that I've had them.

        • DarthLord on 02/03/2022 - 13:48

          that sounds good, how much you paid for that pair of airpods?

          • CrispyChrispy on 02/03/2022 - 13:50
            +1

            @DarthLord: $175, off Gumtree. Brand new in box, still sealed. That person bought it at Officeworks. Bought it around Feb 2020.

            Have also used a cheaper pair of AirPods clones (the i30 Supers), battery life definitely wasn't as long.

  • TheUsualSuspect on 02/03/2022 - 13:23

    Low latency codec aptxll/faststeam is rarely supported from the transmitter side. There's also a licensing fee.
    Doubtful these would do anything for gaming.

    Look up avantree headphones as an example if you really want to play fps with wireless headphones.

  • fufufu on 02/03/2022 - 14:40

    Thanks OP, ordered 2 from the nearest store that listed stock. They must have got ozbargained during checkout as they emailed shortly after saying no stock at that store but they'd ship for free from elsewhere. Bonus!

    i don't seem to be able to get the earbuds to charge. the case charges fine but the earbuds are lifeless

    • dogebargain on 03/03/2022 - 20:05

      Damn!

      Just double check these things:
      - earphones properly sitting on the charge contacts in the case
      - try pairing after the case lid is open and earbuds are still in case (don't take out earphones til they've paired
      - what do the numbers read in the LED panel inside the case?
      -case should pulse green if the earphones need charging. Also pulses green when charging the case itself.

      Failing all of that, I'd return them.

      • c64 on 04/03/2022 - 20:03

        yeah, i tried cleaning the contacts as suggested in the manual but the buds didn't appear to charge. returned.

  • moto on 04/03/2022 - 17:29

    Do they sound good? How do they compare to any other earphone sets you all have, even if the others are wired? I’m in need of wireless earbuds and I’ve been burnt before buying $109 Lypertek Z3 / Tevi 2.0 earbuds from Amazon as one side didn’t fully recharge so I got a refund for them.

    • moto on 07/03/2022 - 18:37

      Got myself the last pair. I had to travel quite a long distance from melbourne to geelong for pickup. They sound decent for the price, it’s a bargain. It overall sounds high quality. But the sub bass and bass sound a bit over exaggerated. Overall well worth it for disposable high quality sounding stealthy work wireless earphones. Still doesn’t beat genuine wired earpods in overall balanced sound as in flat (bass mids and highs). But if you love bass these Kmart earphones are great for that. It doesn’t sound terrible, it sounds high quality and it’s a bargain. Call quality is inconsistent, I’ve had it drop calls too many times as touching the earphone disconnects the call too easily.
