As i searched for new Headphones i came across these on amazon, so i ordered 2 different versions to test them and give you a short review.
I ordered the Dudios Shuttle and Dudios Free Mini (both around 35€ on amazon).
The Dudios Shuttle are AirPod like headphones, with BT5.0, IPx5 sweat resistent and touch control from the headphone itself.
The Dudios Free Mini are more like my old Jabra elite sport headphones, they are a small egg-ish form factor and will sit in the outer ear.
On both packages a charging case, some earpieces in different sizes and a micro USB cable is included.
As said both come inside a case which also acts as the charging station. The case of the Shuttle also have a 4 leds which are charging indicators of the battery INSIDE THE CASE. If you put the headphones into the case they will automatically recharge, and a small red led on the headphones will indicate the charging process. They can play for around 4hours and then needs to be recharged. If you have the case around you can put them back and let them recharge.
On the Shuttle get around 24h of playback without the need of a wallplug. (5x recharge in the case + 1 initial charge = 24h) and on the Free Mini you will get around 15h playback claims dudios. I only tested a full charge, both lasted a litle longer than 4h.
Once paired the headphones will automatically connect to the phone when taken out of their case, in my tests this always worked quick and reliable. No issues at all.
The BT range is really good, in comparision to my old Jabra elite sport headphones it is even incredible. The Jabra headphone have issues already if you are more than 1 meter away and drop the music. This Dudios have no range issues at all, in my tests i put the phone in one room and traveled with the headphone through the whole apartment, they dropped the connection only through 2 concrete walls. I would not assume any issues in day by day usage.
Both headphones have a pretty good sound, in comparision to my old Jabra elite sport it is better. I know sound is always kind of a personal choice. They don't reach the sound levels of my Sony WH-1000XM3 but that was expected. For small headphones i am pretty impressed and like it. Perfect devices for doing sports and running around if you don't want to carry the big headphones.
Also both headphones have a touch control feature, you can simply touch (not press!) the headphone to play/pause etc. your music. Which comes in handy if you don't want to take out your phone.
My personal preference are the Shuttle, as they can run a little longer than the Free Mini and i find them more comfortable to wear.
I will attach some pictures of both headphones so that you get a better impression.
Overall: Pretty nice headphones for a cheap price!

This is a review of Anker Bluetooth Stereo headset for music streaming and hands free calling. http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-Bluetooth-Headset-HandsFree-Calling/dp/B00ENF5CZQ/
Yes, believe it or not, people still use these single piece on-ear wireless headsets when driving or outside where they still have to be aware of surrounding. That is a key with this type of headsets where your one ear is open to keep you aware of surrounding environment. Typically these feature better sound quality and more functionality in comparison to older models. So let's take a closer look at new addition to Anker's catalog.
Arrived in their signature environmentally friendly plastic-free package, you get a wireless headset with 2 sets of high quality adjustable ear-hooks, 3 pairs of silicone eartips in different sizes, and usb charging cable. This wireless headset is very light, at only 12g, and dimensions of approximately 55mm x 17mm x12mm and additional 15mm for earpiece part. The ear-hook rotates to adjust the angle by 360deg and can also be flipped 180deg for left/right ear use. It has a very sleek professional look with minimum controls, multifunction call/power button facing outside and volume up/down on the bottom edge. The top edge has micro-usb charging port.. Also, I was glad that Anker logo was printed inside, makes the outside of this headset to look clean. Furthermore, inside there was multi-color led indicator and microphone.
Pair up took seconds, and after initial connection a voice guidance provided a confirmation. Although I only tried using this headset inside where everything sounded crystal clearer up to 40ft away from my phone, according to the spec this headset is equipped with CVC (clear voice capture) echo and noise cancellation technology to help you in a noisy environment. As a bonus, beside just a phone connection, it was also connected to phone media (thanks to A2DP and AVRCP protocol support), and I was able to stream music from my Note 2 and remotely control the volume of the audio on my phone. Its a great feature since switching between playing music and picking up the call is seamless, and on a full battery charge you get up to 5hr of talk or audio playback.
Overall, its a great little wireless headset that packs a lot of features, has a nice solid build, and a very professional look. Considering a price of under $20 shipped and 18-month warranty with lifetime tech support - this is one great value as well.
Here are the pictures.

I bought these because I wanted to use earbuds in classes or while working and just use one earbud inconspicuously. These have worked great, and I like them so much that these are the only earbuds I bother grabbing when leaving the house for most occasions.
A big problem I have had in the past with my corded earbuds is that because I am at school, I am always stuffing my earbuds into my bag, where they get tangled and the cord gets damaged, so most of the time I just get cheap earbuds, because they all end up wearing out eventually.
These earbuds fit perfectly in the charging case, and because the case is so small, I can easily slip it into my pocket or backpack and know that they wont get worn out or damaged from my usage.
The pairing on the Bluetooth can be a little confusing at first, because both of the earbuds can be "in charge" because they both work independently. The best way for me to get them paired was to turn on one, and then once it pairs with my phone, then turn on the other earbud and it will automatically pair with the other one.
The sound quality is pretty good, and they are very good at sound cancelling, so I usually just put in one while in class so that I can still hear when something is going on.
I don't really have a way to compare the battery life with my other devices, but they seemed to last a really long time before they got to low battery and I usually put them in the case pretty frequently between usages and the case charges them well. The case charges by usb-c, which is a plus for me, because that's one less micro USB cord I need in the jungle (in my disorganized charging station), I just need to pop it on to my OnePlus Dash Charger and it charges at regular speed.
Although there is not much bass, the sound is very clear, and you can still hear the lower tones. I assume the lack of bass is a contributing factor to why the battery lasts for so long
One thing that surprised me was that my ears do not go well with normal cup earbuds, I usually have to use the shaped ones without the cups like the Apple or Samsung earbuds. Even when I use small earbud cup sizes, I often have trouble with my earbuds falling out. The design on these earbuds makes you twist them to go in and they actually stay in my ears very well I shook my head side to side, equalized my ears, and went running with them and they didn't come out.
Overall, I think that these earbuds are a great substitute for the apple air pods, and the long battery life along with the included charging case lasts me a good while of listening to music or calling people. Many of my Co workers and Classmates have asked about them and where I got them and I have been recommending them left and right, which is why I thought it would be a good idea to share my thoughts about them here .
Here is the link to the amazon site where I purchased them: https://www.amazon.com/product-revi...=UTF8&filterByStar=five_star&showViewpoints=0
Like many, I’ve been wanting to hop onto the noise-cancelling headphone bandwagon since models like the Bose QuietComfort 35 and Sony 1000XM series came out. However, also like many, I was not interested in dropping $350 bucks for this experience. I only fly or commute on mass transit a few times a year. These Anker Soundcore Life 2 headphones are a great compromise for those looking to spend less than one-third of the price of the top-tier models and still have a great experience.
Sound quality: Very good. These will not touch wired, high-impedance headphones for lossless music files, but for noise-cancelling, bluetooth headphones for listening to Spotify, the sound quality is super solid. I enjoy the BassUp tech for a deeper and fuller sound. You do get a built in mic too, which is great for making calls.
Noise cancelling: Having used the aforementioned Bose QC and Sony 1000XM series before, these are not on that level with noise cancelling. If those are a “10” these are more like a “7-8”. Those high-end models can wipe out virtually ALL background noise while the Soundcore Life 2 does more of a controlled reduction. Still very good for the price and to block out the outside world.
Battery Life: Fantastic. 30 hours on wireless with up to 60 if you connect with the provided cable. And if you turn off noise cancelling while wired, you can go forever. Would’ve like to have seen a Type C connection (it’s microUSB still) for charging, but this is a pretty small complaint.
Build quality: Top notch. Nothing seems cheap or breakable. The headphones fold down for travel in the provided case. The case has some firmness to it too, so your headphones won’t get crushed. Great for stashing in your backpack or messenger bag. The ear pads are nicely padded and I can easily go over an hour before any kind of “ear compression” discomfort takes hold.
The holiday pack is a great bonus since you get a PowerCore 5000 powerbank for on-the-go charging. Other included accessories include the top end PowerLine+ microUSB cable, an aux cable, and an airplane adapter. Great value here!

Have you tried using these with a PC while gaming? I'm curious whether or not the microphone actually works over wired/BT while gaming.
The trend of ditching the headphone jack brought and popularized the usage of wireless earbuds, that connect via Bluetooth and WiFi. 2 days ago, I joined this trend with headphone jack-less phone and a pair of Dudios Free Mini earbuds that I bought on Amazon. My goal was to get premium earbuds that live to its brand and be durable and efficient, yet, be affordable. Out of many options, I was convinced by the Dudios Free Mini that grabbed my attention. It provided the premium and sleek design and the budget price, which was a great bargain for me.
The following is a detailed review. TL;DR is at the bottom, enjoy reading!
Package:
User manual.
2x Earbuds.
Charging box.
Charging cable (USB).
3x Pairs of tips (small/medium/large).
2x Safety cushions (Box & content).

Features:
Bluetooth 5.0.
IPX5 Rated (protects from sweat damage).
Durable and last up to 15 hours.
Touch control that provides easy functions (Phone call, Music, etc).
Comfortable and yet hold firmly.
Provided charging box.
Experience:
The earbuds came with little battery and I emptied it completely to note down the charging time. It completed its charging after 1 hour and 50 minutes, which is less than the official time (2 hours). Of course, it may vary between 1:30 and 2:00 hours charging times. Knowing that gyms are closed, I went for a normal cardio session outside to test the durability of the earbuds and how comfortable it is to train with them.
To be honest, I didn't feel them. They were super comfy and didn't put any pressure on my ears and didn't annoy me while running. I enjoyed the run with the earbuds and the Bluetooth connection was stable. The volume and the quality of the audio was perfect for my style and didn't feel off at all. I took my time testing the product, considering that I'd want to make sure that it's up to my expectations. Another test was cleaning the car, which included a lot of water sprays and wet areas around the ears.
The earbuds did NOT slip off and didn't seem to annoy me at all, which was quite pleasant. I've used it too for some various calls and with that different usage of them, it lasted 11 hours and had 20% left. This means that I used it for Media playback and calls, which lasted more than an hour.
To this point, I'm still experiencing with them and I have no issues whatsoever with the functionality or the connectivity. To conclude, it has the expected functionality and surpassed the expectations by being comfy and easy-to-use earbuds.
Notes:
I'd like to highlight, that you need to remove the charging film on the earbuds before putting them in the charging box, otherwise, it wouldn't charge.
TL;DR:
Sleek, premium and minimal design.
Touch control is as easy as it can get.
Multiple functions with a few clicks on the earbuds.
Last long and can be easily re-charged.
IPX5 Rated, don't worry about doing sport!
Budget price.
I hope you enjoyed reading. I'll see you in my next review!
Hello there,
today a new review from me!
It was time again to find new wireless earphones, this time i checked out the Soundpeats TrueAir2 . You find them for 34,99€ on Amazon.

In the package are the headphones, a charging/transport box combo, and one USB-c cable.
They come powered by the Qualcomm QCC3040 and have Bluetooth 5.2. Two microphones are in every earbud (4 in total) to capture the voice perfectly and filter out environmental noises. The form factor is much like on Apple earpods (see the photos yourself).
They come in a charging case, the charging case uses USB-C to charge itself and then it can charge the headphones 4 times by the inbuild battery. Overall you will get 5hours of playback time. This means 1 full charge plus 4 recharges through the case will give you 5 * 5h = 25h of playback time. Which is pretty nice!
The headphones have a touch control feature, you can simply touch (not press!) the headphone to play/pause etc. your music. Which comes in handy if you don't want to take out your phone. To do so you need to touch them at the logo of the headphones. One tap on the right one will increase the music volume, one tap on the left one will decrease it. Long touch right, next track, long touch left, previous track. Double tap (on both) is play/pause. etc.
Like i said, this works very well. There is also a voice assistant if you press 3 times (no matter which side), but i personally don't like voice control on headphones, but if you like it, it is there for you.
Bluetooth pairing didn't make any issues at all, it was quick and reliable. Just take out the rigt earpiece and start binding, done!
The headphones are a good fit in my ears, i would personally not recommend them for sports, but they should be good for anything else. Overall i think if you want to do sports with wireless headphones you should use another form, the apple like form is a nice fit, but doesn't stay in the ear for jumping around. (Atleast not in my ears )
Sound is very good, i am not audiophile, so i just represent my layman subjective view on this. I am very happy with the sound from this 35€ devices. I did not change any settings and just listened to some online radio and i am fine with the sound.
Overall: Pretty nice headphones for a cheap price! I can definetly recommend them!
They seem very good price point and quality. Nice review!
do you have issue of suppressed sound when using mic on windows 10? it's the only problem for me
